  • ☑Y Battle of Piercebridge is long enough (3016 chars), new enough (created 29 Feb, nominated 3 March) and article is within policy. AGF on offline sources
  • ☑Y Battle of Tadcaster is long enough (5523 chars), new enough (created 29 Feb, nominated 3 March) and article is within policy. Again, AGF on offline sources
  • ☑Y Hook is short enough, interesting, and supported by inline sources at Battle of Tadcaster#Aftermath
  • ☒N QPQs not yet done
  • Symbol question.svg Overall, the contents of the articles are fine, but Template:U please provide 2 QPQs, then I can pass this nomination. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping actually, Battle of Tadcaster contains 1783 characters of text duplicated from Battle of Piercebridge. Per Rule A5, this text cannot be counted toward the 1500-character requirement. But the new text in the Battle and Aftermath sections more than meets the 1500-character criteria for this article.

  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I am not seeing an inline cite in either article for the date on which the battle started — a key part of the hook fact. Yoninah (talk) 17:02, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
    Template:Ping Thanks for letting me know. This should be resolved now. Harrias talk 10:01, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping thank you. The Piercebridge date checks out in the source, but the cite for Tadcaster says they stormed the town on 6 December. Yoninah (talk) 19:09, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Okay, thanks Template:U. Got myself in a bit of a muddle with this one, but now should be sorted. Harrias talk 08:47, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Since Piercebridge started on 1 December and Tadcaster on 6 December, I adjusted the hook to five days apart. This is now good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:11, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
