  • Article is new, nominated within deadline and about a notable topic. The article is long enough, hooks meet the character limit. Earwig's tool reports copyvio unlikely (1% match). The article is cited, though a few of the citations seem to be the company's website or a company presentation (primary sources?). The article uses two images, one has no copyvio issues, the other is the company logo where fair use guidelines apply. @My name is not dave: couple of questions: [1] for the record, are there more non-company RS we can cite? [2] which DYK nom did you review for your QPQ credit? [3] can we tweak the hooks to make them more hooky? Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 23:21, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
@My name is not dave and Ms Sarah Welch: I should be able to help with non-company RS in the next couple of days: I have access to some specialist publications. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 07:51, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
Cheers! My name isnotdave (talk/contribs) 12:20, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
@Ms Sarah Welch: QPQ: not necessary, I thought. This is my first DYK. Hooky hooks: Please do! RS: Hopefully Hassocks5489 can dig something up, and I'll go for more searching as well. My name isnotdave (talk/contribs) 12:20, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
My name is not dave: Welcome to DYK then. This is the first serving of your free 5 allowance! The DYK nom looks fine then, other than the need for some non-company RS. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 13:38, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
@My name is not dave and Ms Sarah Welch: I've expanded as far as possible using my sources. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 22:56, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
for main and ALT1 hook, GTG. Accepting the journal article summary added on AGF, @My name is not dave: Hassocks5489 has nearly doubled the article, please check and consider sharing the DYK credit. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 01:16, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
