  • Interesting enough hook, but you need to provide a source. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 02:51, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Generalissima I did in the article. https://pubs.lib.uiowa.edu/bai/article/id/29045/ SL93 (talk) 04:00, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
SL93 I know, but it also ideally would have a source given in the submission above. The article otherwise is in good shape and eligible, the QPQ checks out, and I see no evidence of copyvio. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 19:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Generalissima Can you give a final approval template if this is approved? SL93 (talk) 20:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
SL93 I'm still waiting for you to add the source to your submission itself. I know it's in the article, but it needs to be added here as well for reference reasons. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 00:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Generalissima No. That is not a requirement. SL93 (talk) 00:45, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
BlueMoonset Did something change? SL93 (talk) 00:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Generalissima If at some point in the future the source is removed or altered, it would make verifying the hook after the fact extremely difficult. It's an edge case, sure, but it's best to make sure everything on here has a listed source. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 00:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Again, no. I'm not doing it on principle at this point, because it isn't required. It is already here anyway up above. SL93 (talk) 00:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
After some consultation, it seems that including the source in the nomination is standard practice, but not strictly required. I apologize for my ignorance on the matter. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 02:52, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
