  • The article is not cited. There is an issue in trying to add content from the article as the source. I did get a valid citation though. If you are unsure what I am asking for, please feel free to ping me. You can also see my current DYK for an example. Or, the reviewer of this DKY where I fixed their source. Thanks! dawnleelynn(talk) 22:39, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Done @TheGracefulSlick: Yes, that is perfectly what was needed in the article. It also needed copied into the proper place in the template, which I have done for you. See after the hook in the template, also view it in edit mode. In future, if you do more DYKs, you'll need to add the supporting article content and the citation after the hook in the template. Marking it done again. Thank you. dawnleelynn(talk) 23:40, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Additional comment. I was mistakenly under the impression that one needed to add the bit that I added to the hook in the template. The source text and citation URL. However, further reviewing led me to this comment in a new, unused template. "Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)". I concur with the template that it is strongly advised and helps the reviewer, but it is not a requirement. I will also add that the reviewer must still be able to verify in the article that the source content is present, distinctly supports the hook, and is cited by the source with an inline citation. However, the edit I asked you to make in the article still needed to be done, so this was not an unneeded change. I have just done my first QPQ today, so I'm learning too. All is well. dawnleelynn(talk) 03:59, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
