- I have read over the article and things appear to be mostly in order I had a couple of questions about though. Cheers --Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 20:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Date of creation checks out.
The hook is not referenced at the end of the individual sentence. I'm operating under the assumption that the Hook is part of the the reference at the end of the following sentence - Givati (1994), p. 239 is that correct? There does not seem to be a Google books preview available.
- Any chance the [citation needed] can be taken care of before it appears on the main page?
- The idea behind it is just to say that the first short sentence isn't taken from the source at the end of the paragraph. All in all it's sort of an obvious statement which is hard to source for that reason. It can be removed if you don't think it's a good idea that citation needed tags appear in DYKs. —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:39, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'll leave that up to you. If you think it is best to make sure that first sentence isn't confused as being part of the ref than I have no issues with it being left as is. --Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 21:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
