 * George Pechiney Symbol confirmed.svg Article started out at 35 words: "2490 characters (433 words) "readable prose size"". Expansion checks out. No pictures for copyright issues.  No plagiarism or copyvio issues found. Sources support text. Assume good faith on book source.  Reads as neutral to me.
 * List of Cleveland Spiders Opening Day starting pitchers: Symbol confirmed.svg Article created. 2007 characters (364 words) "readable prose size".  Length checks.  No plagiarism or copyvio issues found. Sources support text.Symbol question.svg Unsourced statements in the article where located but are sourced in the table.  This would require some thing to make the sourcing closer to the table?  See table comment?  Not sure how to handle.  Symbol question.svg File:Willie Sudhoff.jpg is almost certainly public domain BUT it does not have an appropriate copyright tag.
 * Hook: Symbol confirmed.svg Interesting and supported by sources. --LauraHale (talk) 20:51, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reviewing this. I removed the potentially problematic image; I didn't notice the copyright tag since a photo from before 1910 should not be a problem.  But it is best to be safe until the tag gets fixed.  I'm not sure any change is needed to the referencing the article.  Putting aside DYK's requirements of one citation per paragraph, even for featured lists it is acceptable to source facts to the list, and rely on the references within the list for support, rather than including an ugly string of superscripts.  See for example List of Chicago White Sox Opening Day starting pitchers, where the # of Opening Day starts by different pitchers is sourced to the list without any inline citation beyond that.  Same with List of Chicago Cubs Opening Day starting pitchers for both # starts by pitcher and the team's record. Rlendog (talk) 23:06, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg That was my recollection was lists had their own unique rules regarding sourcing. (Because it becomes a major PITA to source those appropriately with out it looking like OR.)  As the image is fixed, I'm happy with it being good to go. :D
