  • Hi BabbaQ. This is the first DYK I've participated in, so apologies in advance for any slip-ups while I'm learning the ropes. The basics look good here: the article is new enough and long enough; QPQ is done. I have a few comments on the hooks and article content.

    I've struck ALT1 as non-interesting. Many murder investigations make use of DNA evidence; the hook should feature something unique to this case that sets it apart. Can you think of any other facts that are more interesting?

    I noticed a few verifiability issues when doing a spotcheck. In particular, the explanatory footnote needs a citation; ref 3 does not mention that Holm's father drove to her workplace hoping to find her; ref 7 does not mention pornography being found on Bilevicius's computer; and ref 8 does not verify the claim "police stated that Lisa Holm had suffered before finally being murdered at the scene". These sourcing issues definitely need to get worked out before the article hits the mainpage.. Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 23:21, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

  • Thank you for your review. I removed the Note as I was not the one adding it. I have asked the concerned editor to do that. I have fixed the ref issues. Take a look.BabbaQ (talk) 00:14, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT0 hook facts are cited inline and I have struck the other hook as less interesting, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:36, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but we usually don't put a non-notable organization on the main page. Frankly, I think something hookier than this should be proposed for a murder hook. Yoninah (talk) 22:59, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Take a look at two suggestions.BabbaQ (talk) 23:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
  • @BabbaQ: thanks for the alts. ALT2ALT1 is good, but who is this consideration attributed to? The police? The court? Yoninah (talk) 23:28, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
  • I added a word. Ping me again if you have more feedback.BabbaQ (talk) 23:35, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I renumbered the hooks and tweaked ALT3. Offline (for me) ref AGF and cited inline. Rest of review per Cwmhiraeth. ALT3 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:12, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
