ALT1:... that Pennsylvania's North Branch Shamokin Creek is too acidic to support aquatic life, but its pH has been rising?ALT2:... that Pennsylvania's North Branch Shamokin Creek is too acidic to support aquatic life and is coated with iron precipitate?- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Black siskin (quadruple nom)
Moved to mainspace by Jakec (talk). Self-nominated at 16:55, 23 August 2015 (UTC).
Length, history and reference verified. Just put the cites for the hooks (I prefer ALT2; it might work even better with the lead image) in and we can go with this (I also added the state, so people know where this creek is, and wikilinked the technical terms). Daniel Case (talk) 16:21, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
The hooks are referenced, not in the lead, but in the body. I have added the image. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 18:02, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- Template:Replyto LEADCITE notwithstanding, see Rule 3: "The fact(s) mentioned in the hook must be cited in the article ... Facts should have an inline citation." This applies to hook facts anywhere in the article—both in the intro and in the body, regardless of how extraordinary they aren't. Daniel Case (talk) 18:36, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- And so they do, which you would notice if you looked past the lead. I will not duplicate citations and violate guidelines. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 18:41, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- By "guidelines", I presume you're referring to WP:CITEKILL, which I don't see as particuarly relevant to this discussion. In any event, it's hardly citation overkill to cite a fact in the intro and the body—particularly so if that fact is being used on the Main Page to draw people into reading, and possibly improving, the article. Nor does LEADCITE preclude adding any additional cites to an intro beyond those it strongly recommends ("The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article.").
Would it kill you to add one ... extra ... cite? I don't think so, really.
Look, I know the DYK criteria don't say this explicitly, but I think it's there implicitly and I doubt that finding would be unique to me. I do know that I have been requested to add such citations to hook facts mentioned in intros in the past even where those facts are cited in the body. I would say, in fact, that being used to support a DYK hook makes the fact in question extraordinary regardless of whether it is so by any objective measure.
