Created by Peter I. Vardy (talk). Self nominated at 12:40, 16 September 2014 (UTC).

Newly created, fully cited with the hook fact cited to something independent (but one I don't have access for, so AGF on that one. Meets size requirements and the image comes from the Geograph project and so is fine for the front page. Miyagawa (talk) 19:00, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

-- Hook is excellent -- interesting and unusual. However we've been seeing a number of AFG's used to wave citation policy for DYK nom's lately. While I'm willing to AGF generally, doing so here in DYK is not quite fair to the other editors who have provided reviewers full access to sources. Also we don't want to establish a trend where we start seeing a lot of DYK non's submitted with the expectation that we AGF at any time. The backlog is bad enough as it is. In such cases I would ask the nominator to at least copy/paste the sentence(s) used to cite the hook, along with corresponding page number(s). We can AGF on the other sources not used for the hook. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 18:27, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Per WP:DYKSG H3, this article should pass as it is not "sourced entirely to offline or foreign-language sources". Thus, the subject of the article and its contentious material can be verifiable as being accurate. Prescribing a stricter framework than what has been laid out in the DYK rules and supplementary guide is unprecedented, and the second reviewer has no right to impose his own view as to what he thinks the DYK rules should be. —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:43, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
