Khizr and Ghazala Khan edit
Khizr and Ghazala Khan
- ... that following Khizr and Ghazala Khan's (pictured) speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, sales of pocket Constitutions spiked?
- ALT1:... that the most memorable moment in Khizr and Ghazala Khan's speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention was unplanned?

- Just a brief comment on the hooks. I wasn't sure if I wanted to nominate it for DYK at first, because a polemic hook seemed inevitable. Then these bits about the pocket Constitutions came out, which is both interesting and about as neutral as one can get with this subject. I'm not opposed to other sorts of hooks, but my preference will be to stay away from e.g. quotes from the speech or quotes from Trump. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:28, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

- @AKS.9955: Looks like you found a site that copies Wikipedia articles. That article looks to be a mashup of our page and this NPR piece. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:06, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- ...Just to state unequivocally: there is no copy/pasting going on. You can see the evolution of the text in the article history, of course. The Citizen looks to have plagiarized Wikipedia (and NPR). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:19, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
In view of the clarification above, giving green tick mark to the DYK nomination. Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. Hook ok and properly sourced. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 19:26, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
