 * Symbol confirmed.svg Date, expansion and hook all OK. Good to go.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 08:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article has an expansion template on it, and every single reference is a bare URL (DYK nominations should not be approved if there are any bare URLs). This is not yet ready for the main page. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:08, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm going to be away for the next week or so; I'll have to resolve these issues when I return.--Father Goose (talk) 04:31, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. I ran reflinks and removed the expansion template.--Father Goose (talk) 04:49, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I apologize for not looking more thoroughly at the time I posted the above, and for again being the bearer of bad tidings: the rule of thumb for DYK articles is that there be one inline source citation per paragraph in the article's body. This article is far from that level of sourcing. Three of the paragraphs in History are uncited, the Type section is completely unsourced, and Common features has a single citation in three paragraphs. These will indeed need to be resolved upon your return. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:28, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

It's looking like I won't have time to return to work on this for the near future. Nomination withdrawn.--Father Goose (talk) 04:31, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
