Animatronics
- ... that Abraham Lincoln was a major factor in today's popularization of modern-day animatronics?
- ALT1:... that humanoid animatronics are in fact androids; animatronics is best reserved for non-humanoid lifelife characters?
- ALT2:... that the lineage of modern-day animatronics can be traced back as far as 1220 in medieval Europe?
- ALT3:... that Walt Disney's first interest in animatronics came after he happened upon a toy animatronics bird by chance while on vacation?
- Comment: This article was last weeks featured Article for Improvement and with the efforts of the team, consisting of NickPenguin, David Condrey, Horai 551, Tomásdearg92, Melody Lavender, EuroCarGT, CSJJ104, Finnusertop, Northamerica1000, Buster7, Evad37, Sfan00 IMG we were able to turn the Animatronics article from this to this over a marathon 7 days of hard work.
5x expanded by Wikipedia Project:Today's Articles for Improvement Team (talk). Nominated by David Condrey (talk) at 07:16, 12 August 2014 (UTC).
The image is public domain. The article is long enough, meets policy requirements, and was expanded within 5 days of nomination. All hooks meet length requirements. The primary hook is defective as the article doesn't make out the Lincoln animatronic was a "major factor" in anything. ALT1 is problematic because "best reserved" is a questionable judgement. The article makes the point that the term "android" is more accurate but the cited source doesn't seem to say that. ALT2 and ALT3 are fine. I prefer ALT3. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:24, 13 September 2014 (UTC)- Request: Per Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 109#Request_involving_TAFI_articles and Template:Did you know nominations/Solar activity, can we get either (TAFI article) or (TAFI) appended to the end of the promoted hook?
