Article is long enough, new enough, neutral and free from any copyright violation. The hook is interesting, and supported by an offline source. Image is free to use. QPQ done. However, some sentences do not have a source to support, and that needs fixing. AdrianGamer (talk) 09:59, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- @AdrianGamer: please elaborate on your question. The article is sourced, and per dyk guidelines there needs to be at least one citation per paragraph, which I have done. I could put the Kania 2015 citation after every sentence but not even FAs go that far.--Kevmin § 13:17, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- What I really want is every paragraph ends with one citation, so that the content of the article can appear to be completely sourced. AdrianGamer (talk) 15:14, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- @AdrianGamer: I can do that, but its not what DYK requirements are, and to me it becomes a matter of over citing the article.--Kevmin § 13:08, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
- Having it over-cited is better than having it unsourced. It is going to appear in the main page after all. AdrianGamer (talk) 10:14, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- I have on a number of occasions had reviewers complain that articles of mine are over cited when I have done that. DYK guidelines are that theres at least one citation per paragraph, and if a fact is questioned then it should be cited. I have done that.--Kevmin § 21:02, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
If that is the case I should not stop this from promoting. AdrianGamer (talk) 11:32, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
