Zmbro, the sources are all in the article, like this one. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:53, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu I meant it needs to be shown here on this page, as right now it comes off as WP:OR. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 16:31, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Zmbro, it does not. Providing a source here is "strongly encouraged", not required. Even so, I showed you a source in my last edit. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:07, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Promoter's comment to @Zmbro: just for the future, Muboshgu is correct—the hook is sourced per DYK's guidelines as long as the hook fact is cited inline in the article. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 07:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
