:*[[File:Symbol question.svg|16px]] Hi, I agree that for DYK, in-line citations are expected for information in the body of the page, and anything in the lead that is not mentioned and cited in the body. This is D2 in the Supplementary Rules ([[Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Supplementary_guidelines]]). I couldn't find a source for the fact that the Sol-20 was known as a "home computer", anything about "swappable ROMs", or "building an order backlog that took a year to fill," or anything about the later development of the Osborne 1. Would you like to either add citations to the facts in the lead or body of the page?

Sol-20
- ... that the Sol-20 was "the first complete small computer under $1,000"? Source: see text, from their otiginal ads
Created by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self-nominated at 18:17, 16 July 2018 (UTC).
Some of the statements in the article (such as "The Sol-PC and Sol-10 were largely forgotten" and "building an order backlog that took a year to fill") are only mentioned in the lead, and do not have citations. The article also uses peacock words such as "unfortunately". And since the product is American, the article should ideally use MDY as opposed to DMY.

- These are fine comments, but not part of the DYK. The question for this page is whether or not the article meets the DYK requirements. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:24, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, but those are still article issues and they need to be addressed before the rest of the review can proceed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:06, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

No, they don't. If that is not clear, please ask for a 3rd opinion, this has been on this list long enough. Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:53, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping In that case, the article does not currently meet the DYK criteria due to the unsourced statements, as DYK states that candidates "meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular... cites sources with inline citations". If you wish for the nomination to pass, additional citations need to be provided. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:50, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
