Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus[edit]
- ... that Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus served an extraordinary six terms as Roman Consul?
Created by Way2veers (talk). Self nominated at 06:19, 11 June 2013 (UTC).
It would work if the citations are in the article itself in terms of the specific page. Ominae (talk) 12:15, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
- To clarify, this article does not qualify for DYK at present because it doesn't have a single inline source citation. DYK requires that the hook itself be cited—not only that Titus Quintus served for six terms, but that this was "extraordinary"—and that each paragraph in the body of the article have at least one inline citation. In addition, the article doesn't make clear that two consuls are the rule: Titus Quintus is always going to have a fellow consul. Finally, but very important, the article needs a thorough copyedit, as the prose is not up to the standard necessary to be featured on the main page through DYK, and the explanations are sometimes unclear. Do you think you could bring the article up to DYK standards within a week? BlueMoonset (talk) 22:31, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, notification was placed there on July 2, but it has already been archived, which is why you didn't see it. I'm perfectly willing to allow the standard seven days from my notification, until the end of the day tomorrow, but want to see some sort of response here by then. (Unless Way2veers hasn't made any edits between now and then, in which case I'm willing to wait until the end of the day that edits are next made or the new notice is archived.)

Extraordinary is not needed in the hook. SL93 (talk) 08:00, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
It's been over two weeks since the first notification, which was seen. Even though Way2veers has not edited since July 6, the article would require so much work to get it to meet DYK guidelines—this doesn't have a single inline source citation, and relies on two references only—that I think the it's time to close the nomination.
