5x expanded by ZappaOMati (talk). Nominated by NFLisAwesome (talk) at 20:39, 24 October 2013 (UTC).

The article is new enough, long enough and was nominated in time. It is neutrally written, and got inline citation. QPQ is not done, but as far as I know that isn't required when it isn't a self-nom. Spotchecks shows no signs of close paraphrasing. When it comes to the hook, I find the original hook most interesting, but that isn't cited with an inline citation (the fact is only present in the lead). ALT1 and ALT2 could be used, but I don't find them interesting so I'd rather see that an inline citation was added for the original hook. Mentoz86 (talk) 14:16, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

@Mentoz86: Actually, it was already provided in the next sentence (this). Zappa O Mati 03:40, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

But per the DYK-rules, you need either add that citation to the text in the lead, or add that text in the body of the article with an inline citation. Mentoz86 (talk) 10:40, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

@Mentoz86: Really? Because most of my other DYKs were passed even if the ref was in the next sentence. Regardless, I added ref names. Zappa O Mati 14:51, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply. Now that the fact to the original hook have an inline citation, this nom is good to go. As I've previously states, I'd prefer the original hook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mentoz86 (talk • contribs) 08:42, 2013 November 21 (UTC)
