• Just a heads up that (a) the 'hook' needs to be rewritten to somehow include the subject i.e. Latch Wales - maybe simply saying "...his head for Latch Wales in support of his..." (b) if you're providing a source, you need to provide a link to it (assuming it's available online) e.g. the URL Sionk (talk) 21:34, 31 August 2026 (UTC)
• Article is new enough (should have been filed for 30 August, date of mainspace, rather than 29 August date of draft, even better) and long enough. I checked every link and the sources aligned with what was written in the article. Earwig only yields matches for quotations and names of organisations. The hook comes from a reliable source. It may not be the kind of thing that you'd find in Ripley's Believe It or Not! but this subject is not exactly a laughing matter. No QPQ needed. Image is public domain photo of public building.

Peer review

Latch Wales

I'd love to get this article to good article status, but considering the currently available sources I have found, I am at loss in regards to how to expand it and improve it. A newer editor, so appreciate the help of more experienced editors. Thanks Edlectro28 (talk) 23:30, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

As you say it's a good article but it's spare. If the sources aren't there then they aren't there...have you tried Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library or newspapers.com? Prezbo (talk) 01:11, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

Yes I have tried Wiki Library, I'll maybe have another poke around though. I did feel I had squeezed most of the information I could get out of this article without it being excessive. Shame, but I'm glad that someone else agrees Edlectro28 (talk) 12:28, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

I was going to say also maybe look at Ronald McDonald House or Fisher House Foundation for ideas, but those articles are pretty sparse too. Prezbo (talk) 12:45, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

In fact, I did use Teenage Cancer Trust as a very basic structural reference, and even though that's quite a well known charity in the UK (I believe, I am Canadian) its not particularly detailed Edlectro28 (talk) 15:32, 5 September 2026 (UTC)
