The third one can become a double DYK, if we simultaneously finish the article on the architect.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:05, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, very good idea. I know Doncram is working on that article already. I've amended the third hook to link to Coffin. Prioryman (talk) 22:29, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i am sorry I haven't been able to apply myself much to developing these drafts -- the Gibraltar one and the Marian Cruger Coffin one also in draft form at User:Doncram/Marian Cruger Coffin. I am busy in real life. I do welcome both of your comments and actions in developing these directly. Please feel free to proceed.

In the Gibraltar article, it looked to me recently like the detailed development by prioriman mostly, later is good, but the intro/lede/early paragraphs need revision/corrections. Also I had added a master thesis reference which I thought was going to be a good source and be used; I see that has been dropped, perhaps in favor of possibly better other published works? Prioryman, could you comment?

But either way, if you wish to take them forward by moving either one or both to mainspace, and making the DYK nomination(s), go ahead. That would make me put in the effort to make what edits I feel are necessary, i guess, within a 5 day clock. About the one vs. double DYK, I don't care, but I was originally thinking a double DYK which is why i started them both in userspace. Again, glad to see you both contributing and I would be happy to defer to your judgments now. --do ncr am 23:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
