Article is fivefold expanded within five days before nomination. QPQ is not done; is this among your five first DYK articles? The article is very comprehensive and inline cited to reliable sources. I haven't checked for copyvio/close paraphrasing as the sources is mostly off-line and the one I found online (pdf) wasn't cited to exact page so much to look through. But assuming good faith here. The rule of thumb at DYK is that every paragraph should have at least one citation; in this article there is a few paragraphs that's lacking citations, and while we don't need to follow this rule slavishly, you can see if there are more paragraphs you want to add citations to. In particular I think the sentence "laying the foundation for all subsequent discoveries in egyptology" should have a citation. (I was also wondering if Death and Legacy should be one section, as except for the first sentence, all other content is actually legacy). A few places, like in the beginning of the Précis section, the style appears a bit story-telling to me and in my eyes strays a bit from an encyclopedic tone, but this is just my personal preferences, probably. Otherwise, I think this article is good to go. Iselilja (talk) 18:47, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
