Kelihos botnet
[edit]- ... that the Kelihos botnet was once capable of sending 4 billion spam emails a day?

- If possible, i would like to ask the reviewer to glance over the text for grammar issues. As a non/native English speaker my grammar is a tad off at times. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 18:24, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hook: Short enough, fair grammar, interesting, cited
- Article: New enough, long enough. I've fixed some grammar, but another copyedit would be useful. Referencing is fairly thorough, but the last sentence of #Botnet Structure, operations and spread needs a reference. This reference, footnote B, fails verification (January 2012 not there, Kelihos.b not there). Paraphrasing checks against this source fine.
- Summary:
Interesting article, needs a bit of reference work (one missing reference and a double check that the sources support the information). Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:21, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the thorough check, i appreciate it. The last sentence should now be properly sourced, and Kelihos.b is now sourced as well (It seems that its reference got moved around while writing). Added a few extra citations here and there, especially for the DYK hook itself. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 11:44, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
This looks good to go now, as far as DYK is concerned. You're very welcome. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:58, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
