The American Girls Premiere
[edit]- ... that in 1998, The Boston Globe said the girls' video game market was "exploding" with titles such as The American Girls Premiere?

New and long enough, QPQ essentially done, although another reviewer had already provided a review and listed the nomination as ready for DYK (a bit of a grey area here), a copyvio check reveals no problems, AGF that hook content is verified by the The Boston Globe source, which is paywalled. A matter that needs to be addressed:
- @Northamerica1000:, yes it's true that the content is sourced behind a paywall; in addition that's the only reference taht will source the content because the hook is about a specific newspaper's analysis. I'm not quite sure how you want me to address this. If you have a Highbeam account you can head to the link and verify the hook is sourced correctly. If this is still unsatisfactory, we can go with an alternate hook. @Blakegripling ph:, any ideas?--Coin945 (talk) 04:17, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- The third paragraph in the Development section does not have any inline citations. This is required as per the DYK supplementary rules, D2.

- @Blakegripling ph:, you added content to the article, such as the third paragraph in the Development section, which lacks inline citations. Please can you source this?--Coin945 (talk) 04:17, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- I could remove some of the OR for now, if that's keeping the article from being qualified for
an FAa DYK (fixed by Coin945) status. Blake Gripling (talk) 06:24, 29 September 2016 (UTC)- Thanks for removing the content. The issue is resolved. Unless that information can be properly sourced, it will have to be indefinitely removed from the article.--Coin945 (talk) 06:46, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- You're welcome. And yeah I kinda' goofed up with writing the FA fluff. 'Tis a bit far from being featured, but here's hoping we'd promote it as such in the future. Blake Gripling (talk) 07:22, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

The unsourced paragraph was removed (diff). Now qualifies for DYK. North America1000 18:20, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
