5x expanded by Ribbet32 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:53, 21 September 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Overall nice work, just a couple adjustments needed. Length after expansion ok, date's ok, no copyvio detected. Apparently no need for QPQ as nominator has less than 5 DYKS. The hook is interesting, but you need to add citations immediately following the quoted sentences in the first two passages of the "Development" section, from which the hook is based, i.e. the sentences that end with "... complicated people." and "... isolated episodes." Also, footnote #7 is a dead link. --Al Ameer (talk) 21:27, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Valid point about the Development refs, added those. Footnote #7 was ripped off from German Wikipedia- just needed some tweak in the link, the website is still up. (Does it even matter if a link is dead if the ref is formatted and an access date given?) ::Ribbet32 (talk) 22:10, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for making those adjustments, the nomination is good to go. As for dead links, it's obviously better for verification purposes if the link could be fixed. This problem could usually be remedied by adding a link to an archived version. However, if it's a ripoff of Wikipedia, the source shouldn't be used at all because it would probably fail our reliability standards. --Al Ameer (talk) 23:59, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
