• While long enough and new enough, the first paragraph needs citations Gbawden (talk) 11:02, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

• Hi, Gbawden, the first paragraph is the lead. Everything stated in it is fully referenced in the body; per WP:LEAD I would have to cite it if the information is widely disputed.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 13:01, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

In this case the lead makes mention of how many people he killed, that kind of thing deserves a ref. Gbawden (talk) 13:58, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Gbawden I agree. That is why the information is already sourced properly in the body.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:18, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough. I'm happy Gbawden (talk) 08:36, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

• @Gbawden: you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. So far you have covered newness and length. Please add checks for neutrality, close paraphrasing, and inline hook cite. You may want to use the Reviewer's Template in the box to the right of the hook.

Sorry I should have been more explicit. Neutrality OK, no copyvios or close paraphrasing and the hook is cited Gbawden (talk) 05:59, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you. Restoring your tick. Yoninah (talk) 12:10, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
