 * Symbol question.svg Almost there. Please verify each ref url, and add an accessdate to each ref. Also, the final ref is just a bare url; please include ref info. BTW, if this is not your first DYK self-nom, plz add a link to the last DYK article review you have completed :)  Rcej (Robert) –  talk  06:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the recommendations. As far as I can tell (see Did you know/Citation), there is no requirement for access dates, however. I'll change the bare url, though, and I'll review another DYK since this isn't my first self-nom (btw, is that still a requirement, to review another DYK? I looked carefully for that, because it used to exist, but I couldn't find it anywhere). Regards, Malick78 (talk) 10:16, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Access dates are generally considered important, because the links may die eventually and we need access dates to show that they used to work. Adding them would be a simple matter and save a lot of trouble in the long run. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:56, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Refs fixed and added accessdates. Malick78, plz reference the first paragraph of the Media perception section, and we're set ;)  Rcej (Robert) –  talk  04:41, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * It's now been referenced. Sorry for the delay... had to fly somewhere :) Malick78 (talk) 22:35, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Missing a citation at the bottom of the first paragraph in media perception. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:59, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I didn't add the unreferenced para (Rcej assumed I did), but I tried to find a ref for the last part of it and failed. So I cut the last sentence. The article is still long enough though. The missing section can be readded if and when somebody with a reference wants to.. Malick78 (talk) 19:36, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Just reviewed another article, the Brunette Coleman nomination, as required. Malick78 (talk) 19:53, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
