Bimini Baths

Created by Rosiestep (talk). Self nominated at 03:54, 27 November 2014 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, and free of most apparent issues (the article is neutral, mostly well cited, and free of any plagiarism or close paraphrasing concerns; note that some content is copied or minimally modified from public domain sources, but this isn't an issue because these sources are no longer copyright protected). However, there are a handful of statements that do not appear to be cited in the references, such as Bimini Baths' Bahamian namesake, the sentence about the company being founded on December 31, 1902, and (most notably) the last six sentences of the final section, which completely lack footnote citations. The hook is short enough, quite interesting, and mentioned in the article, although (if I'm not mistaken) the claim about the baths being named after the island of Bimini is not clearly referenced; the footnote that appears to cover this sentence, [3] "Bimini Hot Springs, Los Angeles, Cal." from the William H. Hannon Library, does not explicitly mention the Bahamas, only that the baths were "Named for the island home of the legendary fountain of youth pursued by Ponce de Leon". Perhaps this is not really an issue and just a case of me being confused by the references, but I don't think that the citation is all that clear. QPQ is, at this point, still pending. Despite these criticisms, I did really enjoy the article and the rich variety of sources that it draws from. If QPQ is done and the uncited sentences (including the hook) are all clearly referenced with footnotes, I'll be more than happy to give my full support to this nomination.

  • Template:Yo Thanks for the review. I think I have taken care of the mentioned issues, but if I missed something, please let me know. --Rosiestep (talk) 21:40, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Thanks so much for the improvements, Rosiestep. The new references look great. However, I believe that there are still two sentences/passages that are not backed up by their citations:
    • "The company was founded December 31, 1902." (the following footnote is [3] "Bimini Hot Springs, Los Angeles, Cal." from the William H. Hannon Library, but there is no mention of the foundation of the company or December 1902 in the reference)
    • "The bathing resort also featured a sanitarium. Tub baths and three large swimming plunges were available for the public. A sanitarium hotel nearby was under the same management." (there is no footnote following this phrase and thus it appears to be entirely uncited)
Once these two sentences/passages have been cited, I will be eager to pass this nomination with flying colors. Thanks for creating such an interesting article! Michael Barera (talk) 04:08, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
