Churchill's Port

edit

Created by Whispyhistory (talk) and Philafrenzy (talk). Nominated by Whispyhistory (talk) at 17:30, 26 June 2019 (UTC).

  • Reviewing
  • Article is new enough, long enough, and supported by appropriate inline citations.
  • Hook is short enough, supported from appropriate source and eye-catching.
  • QPQ done
  • Could I suggest the following changes before approval:
  • Include the fact that this was the first Port company established for 50 years. Indeed this could be the basis of a better hook than the suggested.
  • Include the fact that, unusually, the market success has been in continental Europe rather than the UK
  • Suggest 'Unable to use the family name he founded a new company named...'
  • The role played by Graham's brothers Anthony and William in establishing the company should be included.
  • Delete 'A number of vintages have been declared' and replace with 11 as later in article.
  • Image captions - no 'required in barrels
  • Image captions 2 Large casks of what?

  • Thanks..will work on it and ping you back. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:07, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi @Iainmacintyre:...done all except no secondary source for "the market success has been in continental Europe rather than the UK". I prefer the hook as it is if possible... Quite like the idea that people assume it has something to do with Winston. Thanks for such detailed review. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:07, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Thanks @Whispyhistory:. My source for the market distribution was probably not an appropriate one. Yes, I agree the name Churchill is always eye catching even when it's not the most famous Churchill that people expect.
  • Looks good to go. Papamac (talk) 14:39, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Please link this page in at least one other Wikipedia article so it won't get an orphan tag. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
