Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: None required.
Overall: Welcome to DYK! Remember to '''[[link]]''' the nominated article in the hook (and [[link]] other topics that readers may not be familiar with). Note that Sangria should not be included in this nomination because it is not a new qualifying article for DYK purposes. feminist (talk) 13:38, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reviewing and sorry about linking sangria, it's my first nomination Spudlace (talk) 23:49, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I came by to promote this but it's not clear why this article was approved with so many paragraphs uncited, per Rule D2. I have tagged the full paragraphs, while all the information in the sections titled "Northern Europe", "The Pacific", "Mediterranean", and "Americas" is completely uncited.
I have also tagged the last paragraph under Background, which seems to introduce an idea that is never fully explained. Surely there is more in that source to explain it?
I didn't tag the lead, but more should be added about the notability or legacy of the event.
There is also close paraphrasing which needs to be rewritten in your own words:
Source: The Crown Colony Club at the Hong Kong Pavilion featured a menu with hundreds of entrées including shark fin-stuffed dumplings.
Article: The Crown Colony Club at the Hong Kong Pavilion featured a menu with hundreds of entrées including shark fin-stuffed dumplings.
I don't think any of that is necessary and neither did the previous reviewer. If you don't want to promote it then don't. I certainly don't have to contribute to DYK. If you read the source closely enough to falsely accuse me of close paraphrasing, and misstate what that source says, then you should have also seen that everything you tagged as "citation needed" was taken from that source. There is no rule that everything in the article needs an inline cite to be promoted. Spudlace (talk) 23:13, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For list entries? The paywalled citation was accepted AGF by the first reviewer because it's at Adam Matthew, can someone else with access verify it since there is an objection. Spudlace (talk) 00:38, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, for some reason I missed the uncited paragraphs. Anyway, it appears that the issues have been resolved. feminist (talk)wear a mask, you stupid bastards 03:47, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, everything looks great now. Thanks, Spudlace! Restoring tick for ALT1 per feminist's review. Yoninah (talk) 12:55, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
