• Comment: The article in my QPQ failed the review--do I need to review a different DYK nomination? I can't find the link to the review.

• Hi, I formatted ALT0 and added a link to your QPQ. (If you know the name of the article, just add "Template:Did you know nominations/" in front of it and put links around it.) To answer your question: You did a complete review; even though it failed, it still counts as a QPQ. Best, Yoninah (talk) 00:38, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

• 16pxTemplate:Ping thank you for fixing the lead; I also added to it, and removed the tag. I have one question about the second paragraph under Personal Life. Where does it say that Meeks was 62 when he looked for a second wife? Since this took place during his first marriage, and his first wife died in 1923, when he was about 28, this age can't be right.

• Yoninah I corrected the wording in the Personal life paragraph. Sarah was his second wife, and she was the wife that encouraged him to find a plural wife. His age was correct, I just made an error in calling her his first wife. Thanks for pointing that out.

• Thank you. Yoninah (talk) 20:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

• Andrew D. The lead has now been changed.I tried to supplement some of the autobiographical sources with a book that has a section on Priddy Meeks; however, not all of the information is found there. The rest of the information is only found in his journals. In my opinion I feel like sources are acceptable to use under WP:SELFPUB. Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:28, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
