Overall: Note that this is my first DYK review so patience is appreciated. Most of the requirements have been met, I suggest getting rid of the "designed by an American" for ALT0 since it doesn't really have any significance imo. I prefer ALT0 over ALT1 since it's more interesting but am willing to change if needed. Also, even though earwig shows 25.9%, it's a bit high for my fancy. If you plan on arguing for ALT1, I would suggest adding Wikilinking "first Black Canadian King's Counsel" to Delos Davis. @Crisco 1492 Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2).

  • Hi Icepinner. Designed by an American is a deliberate inclusion as it highlights the interconnectedness of Canadians and Americans; the contrast works toward the interest factor. For Earwig, the number is not the only factor you are looking at; also look at what is being flagged. In this case, there are two correctly attributed quotes and several specific names ("the City of Windsor" is flagged despite being the legal name of the owner, for example). I have reworked one sentence, though that might have arguably been under WP:LIMITED. As for the FOP question, FOP is only required where copyright subsists; there is no copyright on a 170-year-old building.
That being said, I have added ALT2 and ALT3, in case the promoter agrees with you:
ALT2 ... that the former Essex County Courthouse was built by Canada's future prime minister?
ALT3 : ... that the first Black Canadian King's Counsel practised at the Essex County Courthouse?
Thank you for the review, and welcome to DYK!  Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:00, 11 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Ah I see! Well in that case, I'll go for ALT0. Approved! Icepinner (formerly Imbluey2). Please ping me so that I get notified of your response 11:08, 11 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
