- Comment: I need to come up with more hooks later.
I am not done with this expansion, but I accidentally realized that the article is eligible for DYK.
5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 22:59, 21 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gage and Tollner; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Starting review. Zeete (talk) 11:19, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Expanded 5x, from 6,296 on 8/15/23 to 35,146 on 8/21/23 (per double DYK check), also undergoing GA review, well cited, neutral, Earwig reported violation possible, 43.5%, for one source (long quotes), but unlikely for other sources, QPQ done, hooks interesting, cited, length checked ok. I prefer ALT4, it fits the picture, classic railroad dining car. (I added pictured to the hook.)
Good to go! Thanks, Zeete (talk) 12:07, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
I've unpromoted this due to concerns over the quality of the image, per WT:DYK#Gage and Tollner. It can get re-promoted if a better quality image can be located, or perhaps run without an image. RoySmith (talk) 17:30, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sadly, I think our options at this point are running an old image of the exterior, or a slightly less old image from when the restaurant was closed. Given this, I think it's best to just run this one without any image. Epicgenius (talk) 19:11, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Personally, I like ALT3, although I'd trim it a little:
- ALT3a: ... that Gage and Tollner used to close from June to September because of oyster shortages?
- ALT3a is fine with me as well. Epicgenius (talk) 21:54, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
