Long enuf, new enuf, neutral tone, interesting and cited hook, backed by offline/foreign lang sources. Pic is PD. However -- I am not sure fembio is RS. What's the provenance? By the looks of it, it's a blog. So unless it's one of those exceptions whereby a noted authority prefers to use a blogging platform to spread knowledge, I wouldn't pass this. Thanks.

- @Kingoflettuce: The writer of the source appears to be an academic but I get what you mean. I've suggested ALT1, which is sourced to a German-language book. 97198 (talk) 14:14, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, but the issue still remains -- is fembio RS? Whether the hook's cited to that or another source is secondary. The article as a whole must only be sourced to Rses. Kingoflettuce (talk) 09:23, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- I would argue that it doesn't matter too much for the sake of DYK – if there is something in the DYK rules that I'm not aware of please correct me. The hook fact is cited to a reliable source, and the article is not a BLP so we don't have to be extra-vigilant about sourcing. For what it's worth, FemBio seems to be used enough in four non-English Wikipedias that there is a template for citing it. 97198 (talk) 09:41, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- As the hook is not using "FemBio" and it is only used for 2 uncontroversial sentences in the article, I don't think we should stop this DYK on that basis. ツStacey (talk) 08:18, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I came by to promote this, but I think you can do much more with the hook for the lead image slot, like:
- ALT2:
... that Elisabeth von Heyking's (pictured) first novel sold out within three weeks of its release and was reprinted more than 40 times in its first year of publication?Yoninah (talk) 23:13, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yoninah, the ALT2 relies on the problematic source which the original reviewer wasn't keen on. ツStacey (talk) 10:29, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- Reiterating original status given where there were issues with the source supporting the original hook, and thus the analogous info in ALT2. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:00, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
