Length and history verified, as well as the hook fact. However, where it is cited in the article intro, where the exact quote used in the hook is used, I simply get an HTTP 404 error. This needs to be addressed. Daniel Case (talk) 14:13, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the review and the heads up. The citation originally resided at http://128.196.192.5/events/swiaf_juried_competition/2015/winner_details.php and it appears that those servers are down or at least are timing out. Skistud (talk) 15:41, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
I seriously doubt this DYK is suitable as it stands, though I've been involved with trying to clean up the article and remove the substantial PUFF so maybe I shouldn't have a final say. The competition result link, when it was available, did not mention the name "pootsaya" (which is a name invented by Honyestewa), though the jury quote was correct, in relation to her winning flat bottomed basket. The web page certainly wasn't titled "Spider Web Pootsaya by Iva Honyestewa" as now suggested in the Wikipedia article. Maybe another (verifiable) tagline is required.

As I said earlier, that is simply not true. The article explicitly calls it a pootsaya. The article is available on Wayback (thanks Daniel Case). https://web.archive.org/web/20150621031248/http://www.statemuseum.arizona.edu:80/events/swiaf_juried_competition/2015/winner_details.php?awdno=21 Skistud (talk) 02:36, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
@Sionk: I certainly see the word on the archived page. Do you have any further objections. Daniel Case (talk) 21:07, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Ah, okay, that's a different results webpage to the one I saw before (quite amusing it calls the basket a "Poostaya"). But it looks like it links her particular basket to the jury's accolades, so fine for me. Sionk (talk) 21:16, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
@Daniel Case and Sionk: Is there anything else holding this article back? The above two comments make it seem as if it is ready. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:58, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
I guess we're OK then. Daniel Case (talk) 00:15, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
