 * A bit of grammar, if I may suggest: Actually deaths were due to swill milk or swill milk nuisance, not due to scandal . - Altenmann >t 11:24, 26 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. I do suggest a new hook, since "nuisance" reads badly in that context. How about:
 * ALT1: ... that The New York Times estimated that 8,000 infants died in one year from consuming swill milk that was sold as fresh milk?
 * Of course, the relevant sentences in the article would need to be inline sourced; in addition, the first two paragraphs under History will need at least one inline source per DYK rules. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:57, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg The first two paragraphs of the History section each have two references now.    Tentinator    08:52, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is long enough and new enough. It is sufficiently well referenced and the ALT1 hook fact has suitable inline citations. I saw no evidence of close paraphrasing. No QPQ required. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:36, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
