 * Symbol confirmed.svg Long enough (1400-1600 characters depending on whether or not we count spaces), new enough (created 15 September), the lead hook checks out with references, and it's a cool story. -Darouet (talk) 15:15, 22 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Providing a secondary review to confirm analysis by . The 10 references all hold up to scrutiny. The article is neutral and doesn't read as a promo or attack piece. Article has 1541 words of readible prose. Hook is informative and formatted correctly. Interesting topic. Nice work!

 * Thank you, but why was a secondary review required when it had already been ticked? January  ( talk ) 08:30, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Good question. In the past I've seen various articles be ticked by the first reviewer, only for the second reviewer to come along and identify errors that the first reviewer missed. A second pair of eyes looking over a DYK nom is superior in my view.--Coin945 (talk) 09:37, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, but usually the editor who promotes the hook provides the second pair of eyes. It's not normal practice for a nomination to be reviewed and ticked by two different reviewers, other than for one particular editor who is under an editing restriction requiring this.
