Chester Nez

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that Chester Nez was the last of the original Navajo code talkers who served in World War II?

• QPQ: Halo: The Master Chief Collection
• Comment: The hook is to make aware that he was the last surviving NCT, period. They are all dead, now. — CAW

Created/expanded by CAWylie (talk). Self nominated at 12:19, 5 June 2014 (UTC).

• Length, date, hook checks out. However, Some close paraphrase found, such as "that children were often removed from reservations, put into boarding schools, and prohibited from even speaking". --Soman (talk) 14:59, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Reworded. — Wyliepedia 21:07, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

• Also, QPQ is needed. From what I can see, only User:CAWylie has made significant contributions to the article. --Soman (talk) 15:02, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

• I only created this as a temporary redirect so that people searching for him wouldn't come up totally empty. I have nothing to do with the actual article itself. I have therefore removed my name from above. jcgoble3 (talk) 17:14, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
• Also, this is currently nominated at WP:ITN/C as well, and the discussion is beginning to swing toward possible consensus for listing in "Recent deaths". It should appear here or on ITN, but not both. jcgoble3 (talk) 17:25, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

• Articles which appear as "normal" links in the ITN section (not bold) are still eligible for DYK. Those listed in "Recent deaths" are not bold, so they'd be okay. However, if it does make it to ITN, the DYK should be held until it's no longer on ITN. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 01:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

• I did the QPQ and this has stagnated at ITN/RD. — Wyliepedia 05:52, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

• I've made a couple of small tweaks, to make the blurb more accurate and to link Navajo language rather than Navajo people. Smurrayinchester 20:25, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I suppose this is okay for the hook's sake. It was linked as such, because he was Navajo. — Wyliepedia 21:07, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

• I've moved on from this DYK. Approve it or remove it, it's off my watchlist (and ITN, for that matter). — Wyliepedia 07:49, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

• Review update. The positive part of Soman's original review still stands (new enough, long enough, hook is acceptable and short enough, and checks out with online citation #1). The ITN nom is now closed. QPQ now done. Close paraphrase issue now resolved. Text is objective, neutral, fully-cited. No disambig links; all external links accessible. Good to go. --Storye book (talk) 17:19, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
