  • Symbol voting keep.svgThis article is new, nominated within the time limit and meets Wikipedia core policies. By my count, the article text is 3898 characters, well in excess of the required minimum. It is free of close paraphrasing, copyvios and plagiarism. Multiple hooks have been submitted and all range from 98 to 168 characters. Personally, I prefer ALT3 because it best illustrates the magnitude of the problem, at least within two states, and is supported by two inline citations. (I was unable to open Reference 3, which was cited as a source.) I found that fact more interesting than the others.

The image is in Wikipedia Commons, where the article author states that the image is his own work and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. I think it illustrates the contamination issue much more vividly than does the proposed alternate picture. Please don't swap the pictures!

The author has cited the DYK review for The Dominican Convent, Ilanz. I have confirmed this QPQ.Bruin2 (talk) 04:48, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

I have some issues about content that I intend to send the nominator later, but I doubt they fall within the scope of the DYK review. Bruin2 (talk) 04:48, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
