- This has been significantly expanded. DYKcheck doesn't count bulleted items such as this but I do. However, many of these items are unsourced, and at least one requires clarification. I stopped reviewing where I stopped tagging, while I await referencing for all items. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:23, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- Dear Muboshgu, thank you for your review and for your comments. I looked through the article and see only a few "citation needed" requests and other missing citations from almost 200 bullet points and citations added. If you don't mind my saying, this suggests to me that your comment "many of these items are unsourced" is an overstatement. I will email the individual that expanded the article today and request that these additions be added right away. This shouldn't be a problem as there are only a few instances where citations are missing. I hope that once this is completed that you will update your review and we can hopefully move this process forward. Thanks again. Best, Jaobar (talk) 21:35, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- Like I said, I stopped reviewing part way through. I can add the rest, because the items of June 5, September 21, and December 26 need sources. There is also the matter of the QPQ review that needs to be completed. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:39, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- I have emailed the student and expect to see edits soon. I will add a comment here once edits have been made. Thanks again for your help with this. Best, Jaobar (talk) 21:44, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- I can acknowledge that I overstated based on a generalization how much more sourcing is needed here. It's not as bad as it initially appeared to me, once I got the rest of the way through the article. I will need to do a more thorough review to ensure that no other clarifications are needed on any points. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:46, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- It's been a month with no progress. I recommend closing this. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:38, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
