 * Hi, tks for reviewing. The two citations for the info in the hook-related sentence in the article are the same as for the sentence following, so I didn't repeat them. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:38, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand what you mean but I think for the purposes of DYK it would be better to have at least one of the citations immediately after the words "under contract to the government,"; probably the no.9 citation (Gillison 1962) would be best. Green Giant (talk) 13:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Heh, well I've come up with a solution that I think satisfies DYK convention while remaining true to the actual information/source relationship... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:53, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Fantastic. Thanks for your quick response. Green Giant (talk) 17:52, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
