DYK

Hi Xanchester, we had an edit conflict there, where I added page numbers to one source, just after you had swapped it for another source. So I'm confused now about whether the second source (I forget the name) also defines "grit." But please proceed as you choose, because you're familiar with the material. I just wanted the source to be clear for the DYK review in case someone needs to review my review before passing it. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 22:02, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for reviewing the DYK. The source I used for the grit segment was the second Damerow book, Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens: 4th Edition. I mistakenly gave both Damerow sources the same refname (<ref name="Damerow">), so the second Damerow source didn't initially show up on the References list. I apologise for the confusion.--xanchester (t) 22:06, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I found the definition of grit in The Chicken Encyclopedia: An Illustrated Reference, pp. 135 and 136. I don't think I could see the other one. I'll leave you to format it -- just make sure the source is clear (you might even want to put a quote in the footnote) for whoever has to promote the hook, in case they check.

I understand, and thanks again for the assistance.--xanchester (t) 22:15, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
