QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice and clean article. Well done on the 5x expansion. Meets eligibility criteria (newness + length). Well sourced. Some of the links are behind subscription walls, will WP:AGF on those ones. Neutral language. Copyvio score is good. Relying on nominator's extract of Ref #10 that has been included here, to validate the hook. Seems good. One minor question to the nominator -- Was it a one time hosting of the music festival or annual hosting of the music festival? The article Beginning in 1994, the annual Winstock Country Music Festival began to be hosted on the airport's grounds. text seemed to suggest it was the site every year. Might be worth fixing on the article if it was a one time hosting or might be worth revising the hook if the article is correct. Picture looks good (though, I will admit that I am a tad new to evaluating pictures, will try to ask for a second opinion). Please let me know when the QPQ is completed.

@Yoninah: as the resident DYK guru, can you help me with a second pair of eyes on the image? I think it is perfectly fine, but, is there a difference between CC3.0 and CC4.0 for homepage? Thanks for your attention. Ktin (talk) 22:49, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ktin: as long as the image is freely licensed, the version doesn't matter. Yoninah (talk) 23:00, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good Yoninah. Back to you @Bobamnertiopsis:. Ktin (talk) 23:04, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Thanks for the review Ktin! I've revised the text a little to reflect what the sources indicate: that the festival happened annually at the airport from its founding in 1994 through no later than 2000 (it was definitely in its new location in 2001, but available sources don't clearly indicate the last year it was at the airport...probably 1999 or 2000 but I can't say for sure). I'll ping you when the QPQ is done! —Collin^{t c} 23:52, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"the city of Winsted ... the City of Winsted" is peculiar (and mildly repetitive) to me.

Reworded both! —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You use FAA and LID without explaining them.

I think it's fairly standard practice to do that for airport articles (e.g., Roanoke–Blacksburg Regional Airport) but I've added a little abbreviation template too. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"an Air Force flyover" as you're not using the formal name, this shouldn't be capitalised. Or just say United States Air Force?

Done. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Need subscription to view the Newspapers.com links you provide as it appears you haven't clipped them out, which makes them freely viewable without subscription.

Good idea! Done. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"$3.37 million" non-breaking space before milion.

Done. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Same for $1.44 million.

Done for all of these. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For me, References is squashed into two columns in the middle of the screen by the image on the left-hand side and the infobox on the right-hand side.

Added a clear template which should hopefully solve this for any monitor size. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Aeronautics considered the" does it still consider that or has it changed?

Hard to say. The source is from 2000 and I haven't seen anything newer specifically explaining the MN Dep't of Aeronautics's stance on the airport, so I'm erring on the side of past tense even if it may still be true in the present. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"an ICAO or IATA airport code" put "airport code" inside the pipe.

Done. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

" 1,340 feet (410 m)" infobox has different conversion into metres.

Good catch. Done. —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, The Rambling Man! I've implemented all of these changes and am happy to make any more as you see fit. Let me know if you think there's anything else this article needs to reach GA standards. Kindly —⁠Collin^{t c} 19:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
