Incorrect DYK

edit

Note that the DYK above is false. Daugherty served as Attorney General, not Secretary of State. Unfortunately, the hook as shown above appeared on the Main Page for eight hours, despite a report to WP:ERRORS. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 00:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ugg. You'll note that the text of the article is correct; I obviously made a mistake when writing the hook. Big question: why wasn't the mistake caught by whoever looked at the DYK nomination? Nyttend (talk) 01:57, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, when I read the error report, I went to check the article and saw that it was correct. I understand the hook-writing mistake – you get something in your mind and it accidentally gets a little shifted when you write it out. The fault is with the "reviewer". A review which fails to check the factual accuracy of the hook is worthless. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 02:30, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
I went to the reviewer's talk page to ask what happened, but he's just placed a {{retired}}, so I didn't see the point of bothering him. Nyttend (talk) 02:52, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
