This has been sitting on the WikiCup's review needed page for too long, so I'll pick this up for the final round. I'll post my review later today hopefully. Kosack (talk) 05:55, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"together with a Economic Alliance Snohomish County and Washington State University", this sentence doesn't read quite right to me. Should it be "the (or maybe even an) Economic Alliance of Snohomish County" perhaps?
Refs are all correctly formatted and a quick spotcheck looks good.
Great stuff, this is a GA in all but name really. These are the only points I could find on a look through. Placed on hold for these to be looked at when you're ready. Kosack (talk) 10:32, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

... that funeral dinners are regularly attended by up to one-fourth of the residents in Darrington, Washington?Source: The Everett Herald; Seattle P-I (December 8, 2000)
I have reviewed this DYK extremely thoroughly, since I was skeptical enough written information actually existed to get Darrington to GA. However, the article is even better composed than the town is constructed (I just wish it mentioned it was a filming location for WarGames), so congratulations. There is no obvious copyvio, it is NPOV, and length compliant. Both hooks are inline cited to RS. This is ready! Chetsford (talk) 05:01, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, I can't find any reliable sources that list Darrington as a filming location. A fansite does point to a phone booth in the general vicinity of Darrington, but it's closer to Oso at that point. SounderBruce05:24, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Achmad Rachmani: For GAs and FAs, the citation style should not be changed without discussion. Placing links outside of the template looks ugly and does not conform with higher standards. SounderBruce03:46, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
