Article was created yesterday and is above the 1500 character minimum threshold. Interesting hook, but I'm not sure about the reliability of the source used. Furthermore the footnote needs work, publisher and accessdate parameters and it is currently unformatted. Could I have another opinion on the source in question please? (It is FN4 in the article).

I made the changes you requested, although they seem kind of process-wonky to me. The publisher was readily apparent from the link, and the accessdate is not particularly useful for finding the source again if the link happens to change (nor could I find these as requirements anywhere in DYK policy). In any case, with regards to the status of reliable sources, Roller Coaster DataBase has been included as a parameter in {{infobox roller coaster}} by the roller coaster WikiProject because it is the gold standard for roller coaster statistical information.

Both publisher and accessdate are required for a full citation; Calvin could have added the publisher, but unless the writer provide the accessdate, the page is unverifiable, because we don't know when you accessed it and thus are unable to know what the page looked like then.

I don't know who the publisher is. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 10:35, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, my snark and complaints about WP:NOTLAW has gotten this off-topic. The main point here is that I have addressed the concerns. Best, IronGargoyle (talk) 13:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Needs review to be completed; someone new, probably, since it's been over two and a half weeks since the last entry saying the concerns had been addressed. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:03, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Standard referencing of electronic documents needs an access date, but this is fixed now. It's not a DYK thing, it's an academic standard. If the source is okay, and I can see that the wikiproject use it heavily, then it's fine. Secretlondon (talk) 21:38, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
