  • Length: --MTHarden (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Sourcing (V, RS, BLP): The Article appears well sourced. --MTHarden (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Plagiarism/close paraphrasing: No source seems to be used more than once in this article, but I spot checked against BBC, CNN and Gawker, and it seemed ok. --MTHarden (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Copyvio: The graph in the article is a re-creation of the graph at googletrends, but that's probably ok right? --MTHarden (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Obvious faults in prose, structure, formatting: Reads well. I enjoyed reading it anyway. --MTHarden (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Comments/discussion:

I like the ALT hook better. Seems all right to me. I'm new to DYK review so someone might double check my work. --MTHarden (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
