Butler Blue II[edit]
- ... that Butler Blue II, the live mascot of Butler University was granted a special exemption from NCAA rules, allowing him to appear at Butler basketball games during the 2010 and 2011 Final Fours?

- Comment: Article existed as a redirect only since 2009. Before that, there was text but I discovered it was a copyright violation and deleted it, as per policy. Thus, this should be considered a new article for DYK purposes.

The "America's Dog" quote is not sourced on well (even oversourced) page. Otherwise length checks out. For the hook if mention of special exemption should we mention why? or i guess thats the opoint of the DYK. Also the refs are overdone to every sentence when there are not intermediary refs, as in ref 1 in the first para and last 2 as well as 2,4,5(twice),9,

- Thanks for the review. I have referenced the tagline, per your request. Good point about the redundant refs - I have removed all the instances were a serious of sentences could logically be expected to come from the same source (IMO).
- As the the hook, some degree of vagueness is allowed and indeed desirable so people click to find out more. Of course, picking the exact amount appropriate is an editor's judgement call. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
