Dima Yakovlev Law[edit]
- ... that the Dima Yakovlev Law forbidding American parents from adopting Russian children was named after a Russian toddler who died after his adoptive American father left him in a car for nine hours?
- Comment: this is hot topic of US-Russian relation right now

The "expand language" template at the top should be dismissed before the article can be approved for DYK. The article appears sufficiently expanded in English, so I don't know why the template is still there. At any rate, the suggestion ought to be placed at the talk page. The article is classed as a stub on the talk page: this needs to be changed to "start" class for DYK. Otherwise, its size (3734 characters) and date (December 28) are correct. The article appears to be free from plagiarism or too-close paraphrasing. Sourcing is sufficient with one or more inline references per paragraph. There is a photograph in the article showing a demonstration in Moscow, but I am not sure the demonstration is about this exact topic. The hook is configured correctly and supported by inline reference in the article. Binksternet (talk) 03:01, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
