General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - I added one cite needed tag, but it should be easily fixed
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Nominator has 4 previous DYKs, so this is the 5th and last where no QPQ is required. Fix the one citation needed and this will be good to go. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 17:32, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:ONUnicorn I managed to resolve the issue regarding the citation. Hope the DYK is good to go. Toadboy123 (talk) 12:36, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Toadboy123: The citation needed I added is still there. Basically, we need a citation for the Dogfights episode. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 17:03, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ONUnicorn: I have resolved the issue regarding the Dogfights episode by adding the official YouTube link of the episode, which was uploaded by History. Toadboy123 (talk) 22:08, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced the {{cite web}} template you used with {{cite episode}}, which is a better choice for something like that. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 22:33, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- this is now good to go. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 22:33, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
