• Promising factoid, but with no provided citation to back it up here. Article was created 15 days ago (on September 3)—a week and change beyond the normal eligibility deadline—but became an AFC graduate on the 13th, so at least we're good here. Said article also has a {{more sources needed section}} banner, which fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE and might as well be addressed ASAP. To the editor now known as @PhoenixCaelestis: As far as your DYK skills are concerned, you're starting to get there, and with two go-rounds in this arena so far, I'll forgive you for that. Wishing you luck next time, and best of editing! --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 12:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

@Slgrandson: I have solved the tag by yeeting the whole section and several others, that one per WP:DUE.--Launchballer 14:08, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

@Slgrandson: Is this approved? If not, what does @PhoenixCaelestis: have to do? I note that your review makes no mention of a copyright check and I think you should do one.--Launchballer 21:02, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@PhoenixCaelestis: I've waited long enough for @Slgrandson: to respond, so I'm taking over. By "I think you should do [a copyright check]", I mean "there is close paraphrasing in this article"; much of what Earwig picks up comes under WP:LIMITED as it is the name of the crime, but there are still common phrases that could be changed. Ping me when done.--Launchballer 11:41, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Closing this per WP:DYKTIMEOUT.--Launchballer 17:53, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
