Veterans Health Administration scandal of 2014
[edit]- ... that as of May 2014, at least 40 U.S. veterans died while waiting for Veterans Health Administration care?
- Comment:
I am simultaneously nominating this at In the news. I think it is a newsworthy item but the rules for a Four award require that the article pass DYK. I hope to take this article to GA and FA eventually and I definitely want a Four award someday.I have withdrawn the piece from ITN.

- Please note that, according to DYK rules, "Articles that have been featured on the main page's In the news section are ineligible". So, if you're hoping to get a DYK, you'd better also hope that it doesn't appear on ITN first. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 09:29, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- After reading the commentary at ITN it seems that this piece is better suited to DYK so I have withdrawn it from ITN. --Pine✉ 19:54, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- Long enough, new enough, no disambig links. Two external links (citations 10 and 4) are flagged as uncategorized redirects, but they look OK to me; the rest of the external links are fine. I understand that you are not obliged to do QPQ reviews because I can see no DYK banners on your archived talkpages. The images/logos are free-use. However one aspect is preventing a green tick: a number of items for clarification have been flagged on the article page (asking: how? which? who?). Because they concern matters directly bearing on the article's title, you will need to clarify this with explanations and appropriate citations before the article can be promoted for DYK
or news. --Storye book (talk) 18:33, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- Storye book I have expanded the article's content. Please take a look. --Pine✉ 22:25, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, Pine, for resolving the issues in a worthwhile article. Good to go. --Storye book (talk) 06:50, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
