QPQ: Done.

Overall: The guideline WP:INTEXT advises that In-text attribution may need to be used with direct speech (a source's words between quotation marks or as a block quotation)... It seems DYK allows leeway for this not to be in the hook, but a reader should be able to see in the article where the quote came from. It also avoids the appearance of a WP:SCAREQUOTE. Alternatively, is paraphrasing an option? I don't have access to the source; is it possible to provide a relevant excerpt here for review? Otherwise, I'll WP:AGF. —Bagumba (talk) 11:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Here's the excerpt of the page for your perusal.--ZKang123 (talk) 09:28, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@ZKang123: Thanks. It's a nice metaphor to quote (and I'm not creative enough to offer a paraphrase). If the in-text attribution is added to the article, this should be good to go.—Bagumba (talk) 15:08, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

@Bagumba: fixed.--ZKang123 (talk) 10:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

@ZKang123: Sorry if it wasn't clear. I meant that the article needed in-text attribution added as to who said "dribbles down". I'm neutral on whether it needs to be in the hook or not. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 10:17, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Oh I see. Will fix that haha. Ok, done.--ZKang123 (talk) 10:19, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

@ZKang123: In the snapshot of the source you linked above, "dribbles down" wasn't quoted. Wouldn't that mean that those specific words should be attributed to Zhuang and Soh, the source's authors?—Bagumba (talk) 10:33, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Edited accordingly.--ZKang123 (talk) 12:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Approved. @ZKang123: It seems that Soh was a photographer and not listed as an author, so I tweaked the attribution to Zhuang only. Feel free to modify if I'm wrong.—Bagumba (talk) 15:58, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
