Altay railway station
- ... that until the opening of Altay railway station (pictured) in June 2017, no railway services were provided to Altay City, a tourist attraction with rich mineral resources? Source: [1][1]
- Reviewed: Not required as this is my second nomination
Created by Timothytyy (talk). Self-nominated at 10:01, 2 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Altay railway station; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article of sufficient length and newness, copyvio not detected. QPQ indeed not needed. I am sort of in doubt of the hook's interestingness, though, "railway station first railway station in a city" is sort of a normal statement of fact. Any other hook ideas?

- Is this ok: "... that after the opening of Altay railway station (pictured) in June 2017, the journey between Altay and Xinjiang's capital, Ürümqi, is shortened by four hours?" (Same source) Thanks! Timothytyy (talk) 07:10, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
Better. Juxlos (talk) 07:18, 8 September 2023 (UTC)- Juxlos...this has been sitting here for a while, because I intended to promote it over a month ago only to notice you rejected ALT0, and ALT0 is a substantially better hook than ALT1. Going by the fact everyone else has also passed it over for over a month, and that I've mentioned this to a couple other prepbuilders with general agreement, I'm guessing everyone else is passing it over for similar reasons. Do you reject ALT0 for any reason other than interestingness? Because I think it's by a substantial margin more interesting. Vaticidalprophet 10:25, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- Not really, no. If you think it's better, go ahead. Juxlos (talk) 11:30, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- Nice, thank you. I'll grab it next time an image slot opens up (it's a decent photo and we don't get many images from this part of the world). Vaticidalprophet 03:52, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
