Cloth facemask

Created by John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk). Self-nominated at 20:42, 10 April 2020 (UTC).

  • ☑Y Article is new enough (created and nominated on 10 April) and is long enough (4179 characters)
  • Template:Question mark The final section on World Health Organization is directly copied from the WHO website, which doesn't appear to have a free licence (it says copyright WHO, and no evidence of a licence compatible with Wikipedia). Also, as per Wikipedia:Medical disclaimer, Wikipedia isn't a source for medical advice. Therefore, I do not believe that paragraph should be in the article
  • Template:Question mark Another point is that in the coronavirus section, you only mention the US. the US isn't the only country with policies different to the WHO guidelines (for example [3] suggests lots of Asian countries mandate the use of facemasks). Only mentioning the US gives a US-centric view of the situation
  • Symbol question.svg Once these issues are addressed, I will complete the rest of the review. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:39, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping Good catch on the WHO text; it was added by someone else (and yet another person has already removed it). The article could certainly be improved with respect to worldwide view, but that's not part of the DYK criteria; it's more of a GA- or even FA-level issue. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 03:34, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
  • ☑Y Having re-read the DYK guidelines, I agree that having a slight focus towards the US in the coronavirus section isn't a reason to fail/hold up this DYK (as Globalise is not a dispute template, which are the only ones that stop a DYK from passing). Copyvio has been removed, and all fine of Earwig copyvio check now. So good to go
  • Note: article has been moved from Cloth facemask to Cloth face mask- so the link in the hook should be changed (if this page move is not disputed). Joseph2302 (talk) 11:36, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
  • And for completeness of the review: ☑Y article is within policy, and QPQ has been completed
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:20, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
