 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Fallout Shelter

Created by Tachs (talk). Nominated by The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) at 05:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC).


 * Symbol possible vote.svg New and long enough, all paragraphs have inline citations, QPQ review performed, checks for copyvio reveals no problems (e.g. ).


 * The only problem is that content of the hook is not backed with an inline citation to a reliable source in the article, specifically about the subject discovering the disease. This source verifies the hook, but it does not appear to be a reliable source per Wikipedia's standards, because it's a website from a company that provides listings for healthcare providers. Other sources in the article discuss the subject's involvement, but do not specifically state that he discovered the disease. North America1000 19:53, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT 1: ... that gastroenterologist S. K. Sama received the Padma Shri award for his pioneering research on Non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis and Hepatitis B?
 * Alright. I've proposed an alt which is sourced to a Times of India article. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:50, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg : Both sources used in the article do not state that the subject was awarded specifically for his research in Non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis and Hepatitis B. The Times of India source states, "Sama is getting the award in recognition of his contribution in the field of medical science", and that "He has long been acknowledged as a pioneer in the field of research on liver diseases and his pioneering work on virus B Hepatitis and Non Cirrhotic Portal Fibrosis has been acclaimed internationally." However, the source states that the award was for "his contribution in the field of medical science". As ALT1 is worded, it is a minor WP:SYNTHESIS. The source from India's Ministry Of Home Affairs also does not verify ALT1. North America1000 01:53, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that gastroenterologist S. K. Sama, known for his pioneering research on Non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis and Hepatitis B, received the Dr. B. C. Roy Award in 2001 and the Padma Shri award in 2004?
 * This is what I get for nominating someone else's article. I'm not as familiar with the subject or the sources. Oh well. How's ALT2 look ? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:04, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg : The subject having received the Padma Shri award in 2004 is verifed in this source. However, the source used to verify receipt of the Dr. B. C. Roy Award has no mention of 2001, and the article is from 2004. If this latter award was actually received in 2004, which appears to be the case per the source, this would need to be corrected in the article and in ALT2.

 * ALT3: ... that gastroenterologist S. K. Sama, known for his pioneering research on Non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis and Hepatitis B, received the Padma Shri award in 2004?
 * That's easy to fix. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:14, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT3 pans out. North America1000 02:40, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
