Sifting and winnowing

University of Wisconsin–Madison Class of 1910 "sifting and winnowing" plaque

Created by Czar (talk). Self nominated at 02:50, 9 November 2013 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Long enough, new enough, hook short enough (bits in 'pictured' brackets don't count). The plaque effectively sourced ALT0 and ALT1; I recommend that ALT2, if used, be either placed in quotes or reworded as it's still taken from the plaque. I don't know what UW-Madison is, so I would recommend writing it as 'University of Wisconsin-Madison' as you do have the room to do so. Image is fair use, but doesn't show up too well at small size - I simply cannot read it at that small! Also the lead section doesn't have a reference in it.--Launchballer 13:50, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Image is free use, not fair use (which wouldn't be okay for DYK). Lede shouldn't need refs since it paraphrases the article, which is fully sourced. Expand UWM in ALT2 if necessary, but whether the parenthetical text counts is still debated (see E5). Also you may want to add a tick icon so others can see the status of the nom. czar  02:51, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I'm still learning.

Requires another reviewer to look at it, though.--Launchballer 08:29, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

No problem—just don't know why the nom is on hold. How is that ALT3 different from ALT2? We'd only need another reviewer if I wanted to use a hook you wrote (and even that's not exactly a rule). Anyway, let me know what needs to change, or only approve the hooks you want, etc. czar  14:21, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
Whoops, I copied it and forgot to change it. Fixed.--Launchballer 14:24, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
