Krimstock hearing edit

(

)

... that until Justice Sonia Sotomayor ordered the creation of Krimstock hearings, there was often no way for thousands of owners to promptly recover their seized vehicles from the NYPD?

Size, refs check out, but the article was created in mid-February, and as such falls way below the "created in the last five days/week" requirement of the DYK (only minor changes took place since then). There is also a minor problem with the hook wording. The article does not use the word recover, and the lead does not contain the hook. Please add the word recover to the referenced part of the article, or cite here which sentences support the hook. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 15:43, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your help! I am new to editing and I apologize if I am not getting the lingo correct: As you noted I started editing the Krimstock article in mid-Feburary. I worked on it until last week, 3/26, when I submitted it to Articles for creation and Aaron Booth kindly created it. As the article has only been "live" for a week, I thought it was not too late for inclusion in DYN. Am I wrong? As to your other hesitations, I added Sonia Sotomayor to the lead of the article and also replaced the word "regain" with "recover". Thank you again!--AHAPPYalex (talk) 02:45, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

*Ah, I have missed the move, sandboxes are evil :) That clears the recentness question, yes, if the article was moved from a sandbox, the move date is the start date for DYK purposes. I think the article is now good to go. Thanks! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 04:21, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
