Review

Michaelgav09, this is a good start, though it would have been better to have done this in a sandbox. Note the tags by User:KAP03 (I'm sure you saw them) and address these matters: they are valid concerns. For those book sources, we need page numbers. Good luck, Dr Aaij (talk) 01:50, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Michaelgav09, if you want to score some points, write up a DYK hook. Dr Aaij (talk) 04:11, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dr Aaij, I just completed one not an hour ago, but not sure where it went.

Dr Aaij, nevermind, found it haha. How long does it usually take to get approval? I'm also confused on how the template is still saying the article lacks inline citations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Custer_wolf
- Michaelgav09, those tags don't disappear by themselves, but I'll have a look, and I'll look at the nomination as well. Dr Aaij (talk) 00:45, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, good work. You need a citation, though, for that "current" amount: it's not in the Raventon book, and it's in the hook, so that's the first thing someone is going to look at. Dr Aaij (talk) 00:55, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dr Aaij I converted the cost of $25,000 in 1920 myself using this inflation converter site . Do i just create a citation for the website and add it to the reference list then? http://www.saving.org/inflation/inflation.php?amount=25,000&year=1920

Dr Aaij just revised it, is that the proper way?

Ha, interesting. OK, let's wait and see what the reviewer says. I'll ask around--don't worry about it for now. Dr Aaij (talk) 01:46, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, with that hook and nomination, you passed. It wouldn't have been so close had you not missed some assignments earlier on. Dr Aaij (talk) 01:47, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some local folk said the wolf was already so old when the agent catched him, so it's not heroic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.194.227.177 (talk) 21:15, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Quality Assessment

I have assessed the article for quality and importance. Regarding quality, the article is borderline between C and B. It is well-referenced, and with some wider material on the subject - including more detail about the hunt which is available - would see it sit safely within a B.
