- I'll review this. ミラP@Miraclepine 13:18, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Only issue is that the ref doesn't support the exact location of 58 Crapo Street, just that the Sister Aurora Avelar Community Center was on the street (also the center probably could have moved between the street). - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |
|---|

| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Moved to mainspace seven days before, prose size 2525 B. Earwig has scores of 18.0, 15.3, 15.3, and 13.8, but they're long names or LIMITED. I'm not comfortable approving ALT0 in its original form, given "only" is a bit superlative-adjacent without attribution. Not much to say otherwise. @BaduFerreira: address the issue and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:40, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. I went ahead and added a citation for the street address for the community center. BaduFerreira (talk) 06:00, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
- Given the Andrade/Hogan ref says
In 1975, it moved to its current location at the Sister Aurora Avelar Community Center on Crapo Street
, that should indicate the Center never moved,
so the addition checks out. ミラP@Miraclepine 14:15, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
