... that Reconstructing Womanhood by Hazel Carby, about the history of American black women writers, was said to be a "landmark study" and "groundbreaking"?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Operation Tariq al-Qods
- Comment: It was 583 characters before expansion A 5x expansion from that is 2,915 characters. The article is currently 2,978 characters. I used the page size tool because I can't get DYK check to work correctly.

5x expanded by SL93 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:22, 6 September 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Comment (not a full review): @SL93: I'm relatively new to the behind the scenes of DYK, so I could be wrong here, but aren't the sources of information supposed to be provided with the proposed fact? I don't see a source listed on the nomination page. Wouldn't it be important to include "{{cite book | last=Kowaleski-Wallace | first=Elizabeth | title=Encyclopedia of Feminist Literary Theory | publisher=Routledge | year=2009 | isbn=978-1-135-22129-4 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=in-MAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA391 | access-date=September 5, 2022 | page=391}}" and "{{cite book | last=Donnell | first=Alision | title=Companion to Contemporary Black British Culture | publisher=Taylor & Francis | year=2002 | isbn=978-1-134-70024-0 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B-XkBXMWKjcC&pg=PT148 | access-date=September 5, 2022 | page=148}}" to this nomination page?

RoundSquare That has never been a requirement. The reviewer needs to check the sources in the article anyway, whether or not they are linked here. SL93 (talk) 01:26, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RoundSquare: I think it's considered a courtesy, and is listed somewhere as an expected step; but SL93 is right, reviewer needs to check anyway. It is probably a good idea to give a short excerpt if it is a paywalled or offline source, so the reviewer can verify it better. But yeah, more courtesy than requirement. –LordPickleII (talk) 16:25, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just making it clear that a review is still needed. SL93 (talk) 00:19, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

5x expansion verified, QPQ done. Earwig found no copying. Properly sourced. The hook is only mildly catchy but I think it's good enough to pass; hook sourcing verified. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:10, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
