 * Comment: The article in my QPQ failed the review--do I need to review a different DYK nomination? I can't find the link to the review.

 * Hi, I formatted ALT0 and added a link to your QPQ. (If you know the name of the article, just add "Template:Did you know nominations/" in front of it and put links around it.) To answer your question: You did a complete review; even though it failed, it still counts as a QPQ. Best, Yoninah (talk) 00:38, 16 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg thank you for fixing the lead; I also added to it, and removed the tag. I have one question about the second paragraph under Personal Life. Where does it say that Meeks was 62 when he looked for a second wife? Since this took place during his first marriage, and his first wife died in 1923, when he was about 28, this age can't be right.

 * Yoninah I corrected the wording in the Personal life paragraph. Sarah was his second wife, and she was the wife that encouraged him to find a plural wife. His age was correct, I just made an error in calling her his first wife. Thanks for pointing that out.

 * Andrew D. The lead has now been changed.I tried to supplement some of the autobiographical sources with a book that has a section on Priddy Meeks; however, not all of the information is found there. The rest of the information is only found in his journals. In my opinion I feel like sources are acceptable to use under WP:SELFPUB. Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:28, 29 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough and long enough, inline citations and references checks, factual and interesting hooks, close paraphrasing and  neutrality is checked as well and approved,  Good work, well done! This one is good to go.BabbaQ (talk) 19:33, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
