  • Will start this review momentarily. Ktin (talk) 03:39, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria i.e. 5x expansion in the last 10 days. For some reason DYK check does not indicate 5x expansion. However, manual check indicates an expansion from 1170 characters to ~6600 characters. Article is well sourced. Will WP:AGF on the infobox contents. e.g. transmitter coordinates etc. Do not see any issues with tone and neutrality. QPQ done. Earwig does not indicate any copyvio issues. Assuming AGF on offline / non-text sources. Hook is reasonably interesting. However, there is a concern with the sourcing of the hook. The source says "... prior to the donation WIKY AM was appraised at 'just shy of $300,000'." Does not say that nearly $300K of equipment was donated. Please let me know if I am missing something.

  • @Ktin: My guess is that Special:Diff/476013551 (removal of station staff list in 2012) is throwing it off, and that's not terribly uncommon in radio articles. I agree with your criticism and suggest ALT1: Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 04:39, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1: ... that in 1981, Indiana State University–Evansville received a donation valued at nearly $300,000 in the form of campus radio station WSWI?
Looks good. Marking ALT1 as approved. Striking ALT0 for avoidance of doubt. Ktin (talk) 04:47, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
