QPQ: - ?
Overall: The article overall needs a bit of work since the lead should summarise how long the newspaper ran for and probably some information in the lead should be in its own section instead. The claims in the hook (first, retained, despite) need to be referenced on the actual sentence in which they appear in article and the link(s) given here. I did a copyedit. Hook is catchy, I would recommend removing "even". Please clarify QPQ status. Mujinga (talk) 23:34, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Pofka: you asked me elsewhere what I meant by "claims in the hook" above. Wikipedia:Did_you_know#Eligibility_criteria point 3 says "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact. Citations at the end of the paragraph are not sufficient." Mujinga (talk) 12:11, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mujinga: Hi, I edited the article and removed word "even" from the hook. Claim "first" is supported by two reliable sources (vle.lt + old.ldm.lt), claims "retained, despite" were added to the article itself and backed with the same reliable references. -- Pofka (talk) 12:40, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pofka: Great thanks for the edits, the claims in the hooks are now cited with vle.lt and old.ldm.lt links and I'll AGF on them. As the article grows it would be good to put most of the lead into a new section with the references and then summarise the article in the lead. Only issue remaining for now is the QPQ status, if you have previously nominated more than 5 DYKs, then you need to review a DYK nomination yourself, can you clarify that? Mujinga (talk) 12:55, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mujinga: Can you provide information what is QPQ status because I'm unable to find information what is that. I really doubt that I have nominated more than 5 DYKs before. I have previously nominated some, however I do not remember exactly if it was DYKs or "On this day...". What if I cannot clarify that I have nominated more than 5 DYKs? Because I'm 99,9% sure that I didn't. -- Pofka (talk) 21:23, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, there is a tool to check, but it gives zero for you which is apparently wrong from your comments (and 10 for me, which is also wrong). From your talkpage it seems you have one DYK credit from 2015, so it's fair to assume you are correct. You will need to know because once you have 5 DYK credits, then you need to do the QPQ. Hope to meet you here again!
article is good to go, this is apparently the nominator's second nomination so no need for QPQ this time Mujinga (talk) 09:44, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mujinga: Yes, I believe that's the only one DYK I nominated. There should be one or a few "On this day..." nominations as well. -- Pofka (talk) 10:26, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
