I will be asking for expedited review of this WT:DYK since the 25-year anniversary in question is September 24, i.e. tomorrowMissed it; never mind now. Daniel Case (talk) 19:10, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: New enough, long enough. No copyvios I can find. Both parts of the hook are sourced to a book I don't have access to, so AGFing on hook sources. However, the review you have used as a QPQ doesn't mention copyvios/close paraphrasing. Pppery 21:41, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Pppery:I guess because it had never been bot-reviewed, and I generally trust Alan to not do that. But anyway, it gets a pretty clean bill of health). Daniel Case (talk) 03:49, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
New reviewer needed to determine if Daniel Case's belated addition to the QPQ review above makes it acceptable. Otherwise, I would give this an AGF tick. Pppery 19:05, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- Since we've missed the date I had in mind I will be revising the hook. Daniel Case (talk) 19:11, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- Daniel Case, it's been over two weeks. Please revise the hook soon. I should probably note that I am skeptical of the hook as written, since it states the belief that he was the mastermind (and why) in Wikipedia's voice and without qualification, though it is a theory that is not subscribed to by the FBI, for instance.

- @BlueMoonset: I should have stated that I already had ... I thought it would be obvious from looking at it that I had taken the anniversary connection out of it. I will be, with this edit, further revising it to take your comment into account (I have attributed it to Kurkjian since he built his book around it, but he is not the only one).

I am reviewing the replacement hook, which is different to original. This one is short enough, confirmed by the article, referenced, and confirmed by reference. Also confirming that correct person is credited. based on Pppery's review, this is OK to proceed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:51, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
