I have confirmed the accuracy of the bot-generated statements above. Article sources are reliable, spot checks reveal no close paraphrasing. Hook fact confirmed in source. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 18:31, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
QPQ does not appear to me to have been done. The nomination Template:Did you know nominations/AN/APQ-7 has already claimed QPQ credit for Template:Did you know nominations/Pancabrahma Upanishad, as far as I can see. Intelligentsium, I think we definitely need to discuss at the BRFA whether the bot should be saying anything about QPQ having been done if it is not checking for a previous use of the credit. Antony-22, did you think the bot would have checked this? I ask not to criticise you but to see what reviewers expectations / interpretations are based on the bot report. Thanks.

It would be nice for the bot to check whether QPQs are being double-counted, but it would have to account for multi-article hooks (or at least prompt the human reviewer to double-check). In the past I've taken it on AGF that QPQs aren't being double-counted, but I'll be more careful in the future. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 22:44, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
If we're going to have the bot do it, why doesn't the bot just do it. I have hundreds upon hundreds of DYKs, it is more difficult to keep track of my QPQ's than it is to write the articles in the first place. Someone fix this already! Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:59, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
  • If the QPQ has been used previously, as this one has, then a new QPQ needs to be supplied, but that is not a severe enough problem to warrant an X icon. Maury Markowitz, please supply a review that has not previously been used as a QPQ. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:15, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
I reviewed something like four or five articles on the same day, and used only one or two in QPQ. Can someone please find these for me, because I can't, again. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:59, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Try Special:Contributions set to show only template space edits. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 22:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
That is precisely the trick. We really need to put this somewhere front and center in the DYK UI. Anyway, QPQ: Lord's Supper in Reformed theology seems unused. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:45, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
QPQ confirmed, article is substantial and new enough, referenced, no copyvio I can see, image is free to use, ready. EdChem (talk) 15:55, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
