• Date, size are fine, but please provide references for two claims (now marked), one of which is part of the lead. While not required for DYK, I'd strongly suggest a dedicated section discussing the concept of victim blaming in this context (per MoS and WP:LEAD, lead should not contain new claims, only summarize the article). Ping me when you're done for a re-review. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:42, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
