  • Article is new and long enough. I do not see anything interesting with the hook or the ALT. I only checked one source, as of now, and I found a lot of close paraphrasing in the article that must be addressed first. --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 13:08, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
  • For example, in this ref, source says: was around the corner a suffolk superior court judge ruled that shea and darman were required to attend success story by almost any measure market basket, and on your article, a suffolk superior court judge ruled that shea and darman were required to attend. Please review again. --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 14:45, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
  • - I will now make a review. This is good 2 go. hooks checks out, inline citations checks, closed paragraphs checks, refs checks, long enough, good work.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:42, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
  • There are still issues with close paraphrasing here: compare for example "the fees paid to Retail Development and Management, the company owned by Arthur T.'s brothers-in-law, were not excessive given the scope of their work" with "the fees paid to Retail Development and Management — the real estate firm owned by Arthur T.’s brothers-in-law — were not excessive given the scope of its work".

  • But when this is ready to go, obviously ALT0 ("ouster of AD by AD") has to be the hook promoted! EEng (talk) 04:50, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I just checked the first 15 sources for close paraphrasing and modified all the close matches I found. It wasn't terrible, but I found enough issues to warrant someone checking the remaining 30. I might check the rest myself some other time if the nomination is still open and nobody else has done it. Freikorp (talk) 13:01, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Just finished checking for and fixing issues of close paraphrasing; this article needs a new reviewer. Ping me if you need me back here. Freikorp (talk) 03:26, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

DYK checklist template General eligibility:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Original hook appears in lead without cite, but nowhere else, so I struck it. Loss of $10 million in daily sales not found in article, so I struck ALT1. ALT2 is properly cited and short enough. I also pulled some random checks for paraphrasing; however, I also accept above editors' good faith in earlier dealings with this. This article is good to go with ALT2. It's a pity the original hook could not be used.Georgejdorner (talk) 02:40, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

ALT 1 appears in the last sentence of the Sale negotiations section. "According to one estimate, the company lost $10 million a day during the protests." Hirolovesswords (talk) 05:13, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Reference added for first hook. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 05:23, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
With the above corrections, all hooks are good to go. I hope this runs with the original hook.Georgejdorner (talk) 16:51, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
