- New enough, long enough even without the list of participants. Neutral, well sourced. Hook is cited in article. No indication of copyvio or close paraphrasing in the checking I did. QPQ done. However, the article contains a number of bare URLs as references: these should be converted to standard refs before the article can go on DYK. (I might work on fixing them tomorrow.) Also, if the "spinning wheel" gif is to be included, it needs a caption to indicate what it is and its relevance to the hook. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 01:59, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- OK, the refs are fixed. Once @Piotrus decides what caption/hook alteration they want to go with the gif, this will be good to go. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 16:33, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- @G S Palmer: How about we add "logo pictured" to the hook? See ALT1 below. If anyone want's to split hair about the use of term logo, see ALT2. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:53, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that the September 10, 2014 Internet Slowdown Day (logo pictured) has been compared to the January 18, 2014 Internet Blackout Day?
- ALT2 ... that the September 10, 2014 Internet Slowdown Day (symbol pictured) has been compared to the January 18, 2014 Internet Blackout Day?
- @Piotrus: either of those would work: good job! G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 20:28, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
