... that American historian Leah Rawls Atkins was a world water skiing champion in 1953?

The article is nowhere near long enough (around 1/3 of the required 1,500 characters). I'd also prefer to see the citations fixed rather than raw URLs. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:45, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Left a message on the nominator's talk page. — Maile (talk) 20:09, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

I appreciate your enthusiasm but if someone nominates a DYK and can't check on it themselves, it seems a little lame. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:13, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

It is normal practice to inform nominators of problems with the nomination. See Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide#Finishing the review: If the outcome of your review is anything other than an approval ( or ), please consider notifying the article nominator(s); you can do this with a personal message on their talk page or by placing {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} there (replacing "Article" by the heading of the nomination).

Nominator has been active during the two weeks since he was informed of issues and nothing has been done to address problems highlighted by initial reviewer. --Allen3 ^talk 14:36, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
