  • Both hooks verified and within specs. Article newness, length, and overall policy compliance verified. QPQ done by nom and picture is under a free licence. Two issues: The passage: "Fourteen firefighters and three Los Angeles County sheriffs' deputies sustained minor injuries. The fire was put out after 12 hours, during which time firefighters encountered low water pressure." is unsourced. Also ...dating back to the 1920s, including the films “Knocked Up” and “Atonement” is too close to the NYT article phraseology. Dr. K. 16:56, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Good to go. Thank you Daniel. There is one thing remaining: "The fire was put out after 12 hours" is not covered by the citation provided. But that's a minor quibble and I will not hold the DYK pass based on that. I also know you will fix it. Dr. K. 10:41, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
@Dr.K.: I have attended to that, as well. Daniel Case (talk) 03:20, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
Reconfirming GTG. Good to go. Thank you Daniel. I had no doubt you would fix it. You actually improved it. Take care. Dr. K. 03:41, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
