5x expanded by Zoozaz1 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:34, 25 June 2021 (UTC).
Article is new, lonfg enough and neutral. It cites sources inline. For sources I can not access, I AGF."Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports very high (97.1%) text similarities qith [1]. Copyediting is needed to address the issue.The hook, I prefer the original one, is well-formatted and interesting. Its length is within limit It is accurate with inline reference. QPQ was not provided, maybe due to the nominator's DYK-credit account of less than five. CeeGee 11:44, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for this DYK,User:Zoozaz1. I found a source for the 9 % on page two, but for the sixth largest holder I wasn't able to find anything. Could you give a page number? Also, usually one does provide the source for a DYK. No problem, but check the other DYKs and compare with yours. I prefer ALT1.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 19:53, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Paradise Chronicle, The source is [2] on page 6. Zoozaz1 talk 20:08, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Zoozaz1, thank you. Found it, too. Since it says in the source that it was "almost" 9 percent, would agree to put an "about" before the nine percent? Then also this 9 percent are not mentioned in the article it seems.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 20:23, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- I would, but adding about would take the length to above 200 characters which I don't think can be exceeded. The number (16/180) rounds up to nine percent so it's probably fine. Zoozaz1 talk 20:34, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

This nomination still needs a follow-up review. Flibirigit (talk) 20:08, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
New enough and long enough. Nominator has fewer than 5 DYK credits and did not need to supply a QPQ. ALT0 I must AGF on due to the paywall source; ALT1 checks out to different pages of van Fossen. I ran a date format script and made a couple minor copyedits, as well. Both hooks are interesting! As to Earwig, we ignore cites that copy from Wikipedia for copyvio purposes. Well done.
