 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hello User:Victuallers. This is my first ever DYK review. I thought I would help after seeing a notice on the administrators board that DYK was overdue. I have read the DYK guidelines and after having reviewed the two articles I will Symbol confirmed.svg them as they are well over the minimum length, the sourcing is good, and the "hook" you have proposed is interesting. I would choose the first suggestion by yourself. Good luck PNGWantok (talk) 18:39, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
