QPQ: Done. |
Overall: (1) Dates: article started August 22, 2023, nomination August 26, 2023, so that's okay. (2) To check page length, I used the Java Script Kit, and it came to 15,477 characters, so that's okay. (3) To check for copyright violations, I ran it through Earwig's Copyvio Detector, and it came up okay. There are repetitions of terms and phrases used in other sources, but they all appear to be properly attributed. (4) With respect to cites to the rulebook, I have applied AGF, since I don't have access to the rulebook, but checks to the online sources don't suggest any problem; properly attributed. (5) I prefer Alt 1 to the proposed hook. The reason is that Alt1 puts the name of the John Company article first, while the proposed hook puts the Duchess and the Prince first, followed by the name of the article. I think the focus of the hook should be the bolded article. (6) I would suggest rephrasing the reference to George in both the hook and the text of the article, because at the time of the cartoon, he was not George IV. I suggest changing the sentence in the article to: "her sister Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, and the young George, Prince of Wales, play the dice game hazard,", and the Alt1 hook to: "that the box cover of the board game John Company (pictured) shows Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire and George, Prince of Wales, gambling at hazard?" I would avoid adding any clarification to the hook that he later became Prince Regent or King George IV, because you want to keep some ambiguity there that may draw the reader to click on the link to the article. You want the reader to ask: "Which Prince of Wales? I want to find out!" For the article, maybe add a parenthetical: "George, Prince of Wales (later George IV), gambling..."
