  • Since this hasn't been picked up by anyone in the month since it was nominated, I'll be reviewing this, hopefully by tomorrow. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:47, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
The article is new enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. No close paraphrasing was found. Nominator has no previous DYK nominations so no QPQ is required QPQ check did not find any prior nominations, but the nominator's talk page suggests that they have more than five nominations, meaning that a QPQ is needed. ALT1 is the better hook, but the hook fact is not in the article itself, but rather is only mentioned in a reference: the hook fact must be mentioned in the article too. In addition, the article creator is actually Clifflandis; as such, they need to be credited here as well. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:57, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the review and input. I have added text which aligns with the hook (and is supported by the reference). A glaring oversight on my part. Will perform QPQ in the next day or so. Absolutely wish to acknowledge and credit the contribution of Clifflandis but not quite sure how to go about that.Gulbenk (talk) 05:47, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
No worries, I've just added them with a DYKmake template, that way they'll be given a DYK credit too once this is promoted and featured on the Main Page. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:08, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
  • @Gulbenk: It's been almost two weeks since your last comment, a QPQ is still needed for this nomination to be approved. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:46, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Yes, got sidelined with a few urgent matters. Back on track, now QPQ pending. Should have it shortly. Gulbenk (talk) 04:52, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
QPQ requirement completed. Gulbenk (talk) 05:22, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
@Gulbenk: You'll need to link it here for it to count. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:48, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
Narutolovehinata5, thanks, added (above) Gulbenk (talk) 17:10, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
