Overall: 
I'm assuming you meant to say that you reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/1766 Istanbul earthquake so I linked it above.
- The "Example" section only has one source and the last three paragraphs of that section are unsourced. Same goes for a few sentences in the preceding sections. However, the unsourced statements in other sections aren't as important, since the general rule for DYK is that each paragraph must have a source. epicgenius (talk) 19:28, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: The source for the entire example section is the example code. The three paras in that section are simply explaining the code. You do not need citations when explaining statements of obvious fact like "2+2=4", which is the case for the code here. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:09, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Maury Markowitz: OK, I'll concede that (WP:BLUE is the relevant guideline). However there's still an issue involving the hook, as it's not grammatically correct. epicgenius (talk) 19:10, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Oh sorry, I missed that. How's this version? Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:29, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Looks good to go now. However, please fix the spelling of "straightforward" in the "Notes" section, before this actually runs on the main page. epicgenius (talk) 02:12, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
