- Note: The first hook is using a piped link that on the surface looks the same as the redirect to Briarcliff Manor, New York. Yoninah (talk) 00:20, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Another note: The quirky hooks are my favorite. Please note that there needs to be an inline cite (at the end of the sentence in question) for ALT4. Yoninah (talk) 00:24, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hm, I don't know why there isn't one; I mention it again in Briarcliff Manor Fire Department and cite it there. Fixed.--ɱ (talk · vbm) 00:41, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
- Good to Go! Meets all DYK requirements. Brought to GA status, timely nominated. Hook referenceS verified, and all the various ALTS are cited. However, as to the references for ALTS 3 and 4, I do not have access to the off line sources, and WP:AGF. QPQ is good, although it is not yet finalized; image N/A. No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing. Every paragraph is (over) cited. No evidence on talk page that this has been on the main page before. No problems with the hooks: interesting, decently neutral, and cited. Nice and meticulous article. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:11, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
