  • ... that as pastor of a Catholic church in Baltimore, William Francis Clarke (pictured) worked to integrate black and Italian Catholics into parish life? Source: "He also introduced into the parish the colored Oblate Sisters of Providence, gave them a house, and started a school under their direction. Previous to the arrival of the sisters he had founded a sodality for colored people, which was the first of its kind in the archdiocese...The servers for BenediCtion were little colored boys. Special services for Italians were given, during which a sermon was preached in their own language by Father Clarke's assistant, Father Vicinanza, S. J. This seems to have been the first religious ·service in the archdiocese for Italians exclusively. " ("Obituary: Fr. William F. Clarke", p. 127)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - I think you need to put the citation directly at the end of the sentence that says the hook fact. However, the citation at the end of the corresponding paragraph does support the hook.
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

@Epicgenius: Thanks for your review. The citation includes the above quote. DO you not agree that the hook is an accurate summary of the quote? Ergo Sum 02:55, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
@Ergo Sum: I agree, but WP:DYK#Cited hook says Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact. That is the only issue. epicgenius (talk) 03:25, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: I've added an ALT hook that is explicitly supported by the reference. Ergo Sum 15:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
@Ergo Sum: Both are good, but I meant that you need to put the reference directly at the end of the sentence that the hook refers to. epicgenius (talk) 01:55, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
