Son of Love[edit]

(

)

... that the 1979 British Classic St. Leger Stakes was won by a 20/1 long-shot, the French Thoroughbred Son of Love?

Comment: [1] Not a self-nom. [2] Can this hook be used on Valentine's Day, please? It's six weeks and a few days away, so the rules need to be slightly bent for this. Thanks in advance. --PFHLai (talk) 16:24, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Created by Tigerboy1966 (talk). Nominated by PFHLai (talk) at 16:24, 29 December 2013 (UTC).

The article is fine for length (5,679 chars at present), and date (created 25th December), is referenced with at least one citation per para, mostly to written sources so will AGF for those, and has no dablinks. The hook itself is correctly formatted. No QPQ required as not a self-nom. The problem is that the hook fact isn't immediately cited. It's mentioned in the lead and in the 1979 season section, but the citation in the latter comes at the end of the para, not directly after the 20/1 fact. This needs fixing before I could pass this for DYK. --Bcp67 (talk) 21:34, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing out the missing footnote. I thought I had added the footnote for the nom. I must have forgotten to click "save". It's in there now. --PFHLai (talk) 09:30, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for sorting that - this nomination is good to go now. --Bcp67 (talk) 10:27, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
