@Jackmcbarn: New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. The hook isn't cited in the article (the part about Facebook is in the lead without a citation and the part about other websites is not in the article, as far as I can tell). I'm also concerned that the hook implies that all (or at least a significant portion) of the users of the websites are affected by this, which seems unlikely. Changing the hook to "that some users of Facebook..." would solve that, although there's still the citation problem. --Jakob (talk) 00:35, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Jakec: How's the new hook? Also, doesn't reference 1 in the article back up the fact in the hook? (Or do I need to cite it in the lead as well?) Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Jackmcbarn: Yes, there should be a citation in the lead, since DYK hooks should be directly cited. --Jakob (talk) 11:40, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Jakec: Okay, that's now done. Jackmcbarn (talk) 11:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
