Venice, Utah[edit]
- ... that the first settler in the Venice area of United States was Francis G. Wall which resulted in the initial name of the settlement as Wallsville?

The hook is not sourced, nor is any paragraph in the article except for one. And that's off-line sourcing that can't be verified by a reviewer. Also, the hook is awkward. Venice is not currently an "area", it's an unincorporated community. It also makes it sound as if the Venice in Utah is the only such-named place in the United States. Considering the more-famous tourist town of Venice, California, the hook seems misleading, if unintentionally. Maile66 (talk) 13:29, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- Another source ,this time online, has been added for the hook.Also the hook can be altered as
- Alt1 ... that the first settler in Venice, Utah was Francis G. Wall, which led to its initial name of Wallsville?
- You're getting there. But every paragraph must be sourced, per DYK Reviewing guide. I would think that would come from the article's author, since that's who would know the article's source on every paragraph. The sourcing will be run through the Duplication detector to check for copyvio.Maile66 (talk) 15:52, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
The sourcing problem has not been resolved. Only one paragraph in the article has sourcing. Both author and nominator have been made aware since July 11 that the article is mostly unsourced. Both editors appear to be active on a daily basis, but not on this article. Maile66 (talk) 19:13, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
