No QPQ needed, article looks to overall be in good shape. No copyvio problems. However, the claims in the hooks themselves seem to be a violation of WP:PRIMARY, as they are simply citing the original article that reported the claim and that contains a brief retraction. Are there any secondary sources about this that could be used instead? ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 15:21, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for reviewing. I don't believe the incident was otherwise reported on, unfortunately. I didn't consider that this might be an issue, I just thought it was humorous when I pulled it up and it seemed like the good choice for DYK. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything else in the article really worth mentioning in a hook so maybe we'll leave this for another time. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 15:26, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
