 * Symbol question.svg interesting read - couple of things, JzG I presume that you've nominated less than 5 DYKs in your wikicareer? If not, you need to review someone else's. Also, a ref needs to appear at the end of the sentence mentioning libel (either the very first sentence or one in para 1 mentioning libel from company 1 as company 2 is reffed - DYK is specific about a ref at the end of the particular sentence. otherwise date and size ok and material is clearly faithful to sources. cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:57, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right, I don't use DYK much (admin since 2006 and so few DYKs! What an under-achiever). However, I thought I'd give it a go, since it amazed me that we did not already have an article on this chap. Are you saying libel needs to be cited in the article? I brought the cite closer to the term, it was already sourced of course. Guy (Help!) 13:47, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg yep, that's good. tally ho then...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:28, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg The hook, at 231 characters, is too long. It should be fewer than 200 characters. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  03:51, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I was going to propose another alt but realised the last fact isn't even cited. Fuebaey (talk) 15:52, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It was, within the inline sources, but I added specific cites. Guy (Help!) 07:59, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
