... that snow mold, a type of fungus, can severely damage grass if it snows?

Article is new enough and long enough, at the time of nomination. A QPQ review is not required in this case. I have slightly modified the hook. The article is not fully supported by sources. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 10:13, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look, Thine. By "not fully supported by sources", where are you concerned about? All information was derived from the listed books/articles/webpages. Thanks! Theo polisme 15:42, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

This section does not cite any references or sources. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 15:45, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

I think you're mistaken; it cites the first footnote. "... damage than gray snow mold.[1]" Regardless, I've further clarified it and added a second citation. Theo polisme 16:15, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

I meant the end of the paragraph. An editor who is not involved in this should review. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 16:16, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes -- I realized that, and I added a citation to the end after your previous comment (please actually look at the article before replying ). Theo polisme 16:22, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Which I did. Still applies, an editor who is not involved in this should review. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 16:23, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

The article is well-sourced, and all 5 citations are from a reliable source. The other requirements have been confirmed from the initial review from Thine Antique Pen. As a side note, WP: V states that all material that is likely to be challenged needs to be supported by a reliable source, which this article does. --v/r Electric Catfish (talk) 21:14, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Article is an orphan, please fix. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 06:47, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Orphan does not matter for DYK. If tag is annoying please remove it as it is not compulsory. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:00, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Regardless, I've used Find link to resolve, and am therefore removing the orphan tag. Theo polisme 11:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
