Indiana–Kentucky rivalry

[edit]
(
)
  • ... that in the Indiana–Kentucky rivalry between two of the nation's elite basketball teams, one of the schools has been ranked number one in 11 of the 56 meetings?
  • Comment: This is a timely DYK because the two play in a high profile game Friday.

  • Picture doesn't appear to be in the article anymore.
  • Article was created on the 22nd, is big enough but the hook sentence isn't sourced. Also many paragraphs seem to missing citations. -- Esemono (talk) 07:43, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • I suggest an alternative hook that I think is more interesting and more likely to be verifiable:
  • ALT1 ... that, in reference to the Indiana–Kentucky rivalry in men's basketball, an ESPN commentator described the opposing teams as "two Goliaths"?
However, I note that the article still includes several paragraphs (beginning with the first paragraph of "History") that are completely unsourced. Footnotes are needed if this article is going to go to DYK. --Orlady (talk) 21:39, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
  • The hook is sourced if you follow the internal links, as well as the overall records sourced by each school's archives.--YHoshua (talk) 21:45, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Erm... DYK can be confusing! The current concern is not about the hook, but is related to rule D2 at Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Supplementary_guidelines. The article itself needs to be sourced throughout. Rule D2 says "The article in general should use inline, cited sources. A rule of thumb is one inline citation per paragraph, excluding the intro, plot summaries, and paragraphs which summarize other cited content." Sorry for the confusion... --Orlady (talk) 03:03, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Article has been edited recently, by the nominator and others, but the problem is still unresolved. Several passages are totally devoid of citations. Sadly, I think it's time to pull the plug. --Orlady (talk) 18:29, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
