Overall: Nice article, thank you for uploading this. Re copyvio, Earwig finds only proper names and common phrases, so I believe that this article is plagiarism-free.

  • Note to promoter: articles about a big fire always draw attention, so I suggest that this one goes to DYK with its picture, please? Storye book (talk) 15:28, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
@Storye book, Tails Wx, and 28bytes: Our article does not state that the unsafe building conditions directly led to the cause of the fire. I do not see the two connected in our article. Bruxton (talk) 02:35, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


@Bruxton: @Tails Wx and 28bytes: I had understood the hook to mean that the hazardous conditions in the building led to the massiveness of the fire, not to the cause of the fire (which apparently started in a truck parked next to the building). But I see what you mean, so I have struck ALT0. Please could we have an ALT1, which matches the source and the article precisely? Thank you. Storye book (talk) 07:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

@Bruxton and Storye book: How about this as ALT1:

@28bytes: the hook needs to be in the article and cited. I am not seeing this information in our article. Bruxton (talk) 22:45, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
@Bruxton: Sorry for the oversight, it is in there now. 28bytes (talk) 00:08, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
It works, just need @Storye book: to approve Bruxton (talk) 01:03, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Good to go, with ALT1 and image (note that if the hook is on the main page in May, the words "this month's" will have to be changed to "last month's".). Storye book (talk) 05:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Promoting, sorry but I did not find the image interesting. Someone can overrule me if they like. Bruxton (talk) 15:40, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
