 * ... that John Shipp performed the unique feat of twice winning a commission from the ranks before he was thirty-two?
 * Symbol possible vote.svg The fact that is used in the hook requires an inline cite directly following it. In fact, there are no inline references in the first three sections following the intro. Referencing must improve before acceptance at DYK. Binksternet (talk) 18:42, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I added end-of-paragraph cites. Rich Farmbrough, 00:16, 4 September 2011 (UTC).

 * I'm failing this on the basis of single-source issues and the fact that it's mostly copied word-for-word from the Dictionary of National Biography (see WP:DYK: Try to select articles that are original to Wikipedia (not inclusions of free data sources)). I just wanted to leave a note in response to Schwede: having a few links that need dabbed is certainly not a reason to fail a DYK, and is not relevant to the DYK criteria at all. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 10:15, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
