Overall: Newly promoted GA. Hook has no citation. Can you improve hook to include the backdrop of anti-Catholic discrimination in ivy league universities? Polyamorph (talk) 12:14, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

@Polyamorph: I'm not sure I follow. The hook itself is cited inline in the article. Do you mean two sentences prior to the hook? In that case, it's discussed throughout the reference. Ergo Sum 14:08, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

@Ergo Sum: thanks for your reply, per the reviewing instructions: The hook fact(s) must be stated in the article, and must be immediately followed by an inline citation to a reliable source. This rule applies even when a citation would not be required for the purposes of the article. which I read to mean the source should be provided in the DYK nomination - looking at other nominations it seems this is strongly encouraged. But there is not a problem with the sourcing of the article so this is ready for DYK. Cheers Polyamorph (talk) 15:44, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
