Still underreferenced after 12 days. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
References look sufficient enough for DYK to me. Sure, there are some uncited sentences or small chunks here and there, but it doesn't seem egregious. Assuming everything else has been checked, I think this is good to go. rʨanaɢ (talk) 14:28, 1 September 2011 (UTC)- Small chunks? A good quarter of the article is unreferenced. Roughly 100 chars per paragraph, unreferenced. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:16, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- It may not have inline references, but I AGF presumed the "Sources" book references all the facts. Maybe DYK has become more perfectionist since last time I played there; any comment, Crisco? jnestorius(talk) 13:38, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
- The current consensus (as noted by Rjanag above) is one inline reference per paragraph. However, I tend to be a little stricter on that, especially since DYK has come under fire recently for what some consider sub-par articles. I love the hook, which is why I have not closed the nomination; I've been hoping that you can fix it up. An egregious example of something that should be cited is the postwar section, which is roughly 80% uncited. If you can touch the uncited bits up, I'd be very happy to promote this.
