• ... that the skiatron was an early form of projection television used during World War II to produce large-format radar displays? Source: Wikkenhauser

• Reviewed: HMS Surly (1806)

Created by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self-nominated at 16:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC).

• Article has been recently expanded from redirect and is properly sourced with citations. I found no copy-edit violations. Wording is neutral. Prose is at least 1,500 characters. However, the article does not explicitly mention anything about World War II. Also, just a quick note that doesn't have to do with the DYK: "dark trace CRT" redirects to scotophor so it should not be bolded in the lead. lullabying (talk) 03:40, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

@Lullabying: Well it did say "after the war", but fair enough, I've added it. As to the second point, that redir predates this article, I'll change it to point here. Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:34, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Good to go then. lullabying (talk) 02:23, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

• Hi, Maury Markowitz I've tagged a line as needing citation. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:13, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

@Eddie891: Cite 7 explains this in detail already. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:28, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Maury Markowitz,if it supports the whole sentence, you should put it at the end of the whole sentence . Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:31, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Be bold! Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:32, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Maury Markowitz I added more citation needed tags. As the nominator, it is your job to fix the issues. I am not going to promote this and have people whining on ERRORS about there not being citations where they are typically at. Fix the issues or this will not be promoted.
