  • @Kbseah: This article is new enough and long enough. The hook is interesting and has an inline citation. The article is neutral and free from copyright problems as far as I can see. This nomination is not acceptable for DYK at the moment because some of the information in the article is uncited, and one of the DYK rules is that there should be a minimum of one citation per paragraph. Can you find some suitable sources? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:59, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Thanks, @Cwmhiraeth: I've added some additional references for the paragraphs that lacked them, and made some changes to the wording for clarity. Could you please review the changes and let me know if it is now acceptable? Cheers -- Kbseah (talk) 14:57, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Thank you. This should be good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:20, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
