  • New enough (moved to namespace on 9 Feb), long enough (prose is 4725 characters). I've done some light copyediting of the article while reading through it, and it looks inline with policy/guidelines. No copyright issues are apparent. Ideally I think there should be a few more links in the hook, namely to National Historic Site and to the company that built it, and maybe it could end with "and a museum". However, those are suggestions only, it's up to the nominator (@Mindmatrix) if they want to do that. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 23:26, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
  • I've added "and a museum" and a link to National Historic Site, but not for "US company", as I find too many hook links detract from the target link. Thanks for the copyedits; those were rather novice mistakes on my part. Mindmatrix 00:20, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Belated thanks (I just noticed this), the modified hook looks good. :-) Mike Peel (talk) 23:16, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
  • We've been seeing a succession of National Historic Site links on the main page lately. I've actually started de-linking it. Would you consider trimming the hook down to:
  • ALT1: ... that in 1889, a United States company built the Miami Railway Station in Canada? Yoninah (talk) 23:04, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
  • I prefer the original hook, and the inclusion of the link. I'm not sure why the link should be removed on the basis of other DYKs linking to it, since we can't assume that the same set of people see the Main Page each day, and it's not an obvious link (particularly to the Canada page). But the decision should be @Mindmatrix's. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 23:13, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
  • For this particular article, I'd like to retain the text; I'm indifferent to the link. I've also amended the hook to remove "a" from "a museum". Perhaps I'll wait to nominate some of my other Canada historic sites articles for awhile (I have another eight nearly ready to go). Mindmatrix 18:33, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
  • OK. Restoring tick per Mike Peel's review. Yoninah (talk) 19:17, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
