 * Try reading the first line of the reviewing instructions or beyond (a) of the eligibility criteria. There are a variety of articles that are eligible for DYK. The process is complex, I know! Sionk (talk) 16:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I checked. I'm usually a stickler for that sort of thing myself. Which one is problematic? NB articles like the one in Washington Post cover two pages, verification of his masters degree is on page 2. Sionk (talk) 18:47, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
