  • Thanks to Hawkeye7 for donating a QPQ. These article are both newly promoted GAs and qualify for DYK on the grounds of length and date of nomination. Each article has one or more paragraphs with citations referring to the dispute. I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:33, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
