Is there a tool I can use to establish when a reference was added to an article?--Launchballer 22:27, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: Sure: WP:Wikiblame (direct link to external tool). For a citation, you can copy the source's title appearing in the article. For example, for the first citation, you could place in the "search for" field Haysi Recollections. You could also search for the code you find in edit mode, such as title=Haysi Recollections| but then be sure to click the box for "Force searching for wikitext".

Everything Starts With An 'E' → ? – The indefinite article "an" should be lowercased per WP:NCAN. So should "with" per MOS:CT because it functions as a four-letter preposition, even when many (if not just official) sources uppercase "with". But I put a question mark "?", so you can freely vote either one or both words to be lowercased. I would prefer Everything Starts with an 'E', but I just want "an" lowercased.

"despite being banned by the BBC ..."

[edit]

The DYK hook to be displayed for this article on the main page is currently:

That seems a highly dubious statement, to put it mildly. First, even if it had still been banned at the time Pearce played it (2013), this juxtaposition ("despite") would violate WP:SYNTH. But more importantly, the BBC Radio 1 ban cited to the documentary on YouTube dates to almost a quarter century earlier, and there is no reason to assume it remained in effect on Radio 2 in 2013.

A search of their website actually reveals that the BBC hosts a clip of the song itself today, and that it had been played at various other occcasions in recent years:

For now, I have changed the sentence to "Despite the earlier ban, it has been featured on BBC stations at various times in 2010 and later."

I further adjusted the wording toward strict objectivity. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:10, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
