@Vanamonde93: It's great to see an 11-year-old article finally (almost) reach DYK eligibility! Article is newly expanded (July 25), long enough (1,800 characters), well-cited throughout, neutral, nothing concerning in the copyvio detector and no close paraphrasing observed skimming some of the literature. Hook is interesting, mentioned in article, and cited to and in ref 3 (Wallach 1999). QPQ looks good. The hook fact, which is in Wallach 1999, needs a citation directly after the sentence in which the hook fact is mentioned, per dyk rules. Other than that, good to go!

@Bobamnertiopsis: Thanks for the review. I've duplicated the reference, as you requested. Vanamonde (talk) 04:10, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. It's not my favorite rule but it makes sense in context. Good to go! BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 04:41, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
