 * Comment:Article size,hook,citation checked.Looking good but for a few more citations in the two uncited paragraphs.Add them and it will be ready.--Ayanosh (talk) 07:59, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The uncited paragraphs are not part of the hook and shouldn't therefore prevent progression for DYK (unless a real stickler for the supplementary rules). I will be attempting to add further content/citations shortly anyway. violet/riga [talk] 08:39, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg to go.Was not trying to be a "stickler".Just following general guidelines about the DYK in particular anything contentious. Ayanosh (talk) 13:19, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg The "supplementary" rules are part of the actual regular rules for DYK, explaining the details in greater depth, and people who enforce them are not "real sticklers" but people who are doing their job as reviewers. As such, I'm going to have to insist on at least one source for the first Works paragraph, as it's the only part of the article that doesn't deal with his career outside of the Third Reich/Olympics, and summarizes his full career in a way that cries out for referencing. DYK rule of thumb is for at least one citation per paragraph, and that a citation appears near (i.e., no later than the end of the sentence) each hook fact in the article. If you don't review to this standard, you certainly should start doing so. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:56, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That paragraph is a translation from dewiki and I'm finding it difficult to get sources. It's easy enough though - I'll delete it to satisfy these criteria then add it in again after it's appeared on the Main Page. Or shall we just look at the rules about this that use terms such as "in general" and "rule of thumb"? And thanks - I'm confident enough in doing reviews. violet/riga [talk] 20:00, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * German sources are fine. Secretlondon (talk) 00:19, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed, but it's unsourced there too so it could be argued that it should be removed anyway. violet/riga [talk] 12:34, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Contentious paragraph removed. violet/riga [talk] 17:25, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Unsourced paragraph removed; restoring Ayanosh's earlier approval since article is now sourced to DYK standards. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:05, 6 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg I am boldly merging this nom with Template:Did you know nominations/1936 Summer Olympics torch relay to create a dual hook:
 * DUAL HOOK... that German sculptor Walter Lemcke designed the first Olympic torch for the 1936 Summer Olympics torch relay, which began the tradition of taking the Olympic Flame to the host city?
 * I've copied the credit for the other nomination here. --Orlady (talk) 16:24, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The cropped image that Violetriga suggested for the other nom is on the right. I don't think the resolution is sufficient for DYK, but the hook promoter can decide.
 * The whole hook is approved. --Orlady (talk) 16:30, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the merger of the hooks works well. violet/riga [talk] 17:02, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The merged hook looks better.--Ayanosh (talk) 03:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
