 * New enough created by Gronk Oz on 27 September 2015, long enough 12,643 characters, not quite fully referenced (citation required at end of fourth paragraph of Jelly Bean lady). Image on Commons with appropriate licence. QPQ done. ALT2 claim of being CEO verified but as to Jelly Bean lady nickname, each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact. Citations at the end of the paragraph are not sufficient. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:06, 28 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the prompt review, . I was not aware that the reference needed to be on the specific sentence; sorry for that. I have added an extra one after the first sentence of para 2 to support it, and this reference has the advantage of being freely available online. The wording of the relevant part in the new reference is "The Morayfield resident became known as the Jellybean Lady after debunking claims magnetised underlays could cure health ailments by using an electricity-measuring device over a magnet underlay compared to a jellybean-filled underlay. Not surprisingly, the results were the same." If you don't think that is adequate, I can certainly provide others; let me know.
 * I was aware of the fourth paragraph lacking references, and frankly I can't think of the best way to deal with that. The topic of that paragraph is the extent of media coverage she has had - how to support that?  I could give a plethora of links to an example of an article she wrote for each work, but that would get very messy without really adding much value imho.  I am open to suggestions of how to support that paragraph, but also I am not sure whether it should hold up the DYK.Gronk Oz (talk) 13:01, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Note that the end of sentence rule is for DYK hook sentences only. It's just to make it easier for the reviewers; it is not a Wikipedia requirement per se. End of paragraph is fine for the rest of the article. Hook verified. Changing to a tick. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:08, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hi, I came by to promote this but found some close paraphrasing and also a paragraph in the "Jelly bean lady" section that lacks any citation, per DYK rules.

 * I adjusted the wording to, hopefully, address the close paraphrasing issue. Will need to look deeper into the article to see if the paragraph in the "Jelly bean lady" section is supported by any of the articles cited. (Anyone can jump in here, I just had a minute and am trying to help things along) SojoQ (talk) 10:36, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments, - I think I have resolved your issues now.  With help from  I think the close paraphrasing is fixed now.  The un-referenced paragraph I have removed, since I fear it was also starting to approach WP:SYNTHESIS.  So I removed all the specifics and it is now just a short generic lead-in sentence on the following paragraph, where it seems to sit better.  Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you, your changes are very good. No close paraphrasing seen. All paragraphs referenced. Restoring tick based on Hawkeye7's review. Yoninah (talk) 07:22, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
