  • Comment: Please take a look at Earwig and try to rewrite and better paraphrase "the largest membership of any African American YMCA in the country" and phrases like "the Indiana YMCA recognized", "in 1946, the national YMCA", and "Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Company".

I shall review this. Storye book (talk) 09:30, 8 April 2024 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: All is well, except for one point:

  • All the hooks check out with the citations mentioned on this template, but: re ALT0: that fact (largest membership in US) needs to be mentioned in the body of the article, with the citation next to it.

Note: I have rephrased the extracts for you, as requested below, above by Viriditas, to avoid copyvio. This does not affect the nomination. Storye book (talk) 10:05, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

  • ALT0 fact added to body of article, per comment above. Jaireeodell (talk) 14:51, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
