Created by SailingInABathTub (talk). Self-nominated at 11:50, 11 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Moles (nightclub); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

SailingInABathTub Thank you for writing the article. The article was started and nominated within the time frame and the article is long enough. Some areas of the article come close to WP:CLOP as seen in the text around 29% Earwig matches - but I do not think it gets there. Maybe the "Notable gigs" section should be changed to "Notable performances" because gigs seems colloquial. The history section has many sentences with no citations. Pretty much everything after the fifth paragraph of that section is not cited. The lead is also not sufficient, it is just a list of bands but it should be a lead summary of what the article is about. This is the third nomination so no QPQ is needed.

Thanks Bruxton for the feedback. The earwig matches are largely the names of people and bands, and direct quotes. I’ve changed notable gigs to notable performances, updated the article references, and updated the lede paragraph. SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 14:03, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SailingInABathTub Thanks for the fixes. The lead is much better. I also did some copyediting. I checked the references that you added and this line is not supported by the citation "In 2009, Andrews sold Moles to focus on The Porter pub that he owned next door to the venue. The pub provided music and comedy, as well as veggie food". Bruxton (talk) 15:12, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed! SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 16:36, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SailingInABathTub The source provided does not appear to support the claim that Morrison recorded "for"/"as a fundraiser for" the nightclub. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It says: "Cuchulainn (1990). This curio in Morrison's catalogue was recorded as a fundraiser by and for Moles Club in Bath, a small funky venue, still going strong." SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 14:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

D'oh! My eyes must have stopped working.

Apologies. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:13, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
