- Per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/GibraltarPediA Options, Gibraltar-related articles are temporarily being reviewed by two individuals. In addition to the regular DYK criteria, at least one reviewer should also indicate whether they perceive any conflict of interest or promotional concerns about the article under review.IP addresses and Victuallers are not allowed to do the reviews.
- Comment. Because we have a number of Gibraltar gun battery hooks going through DYK, and because the proposed hook for this nomination is basically identical in meaning to the proposed hook for Breakneck Battery, I feel this nomination should have a different hook.
- ALT2 ... that the 9.2-inch gun of Spur Battery (pictured), one of fourteen once mounted on Gibraltar, was moved to Imperial War Museum Duxford after their role was taken over by Exocet missiles?
The Exocet is quite well known after its success in the Falklands War, which I feel makes this sufficiently hooky. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:38, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
