Tacy Atkinson[edit]
* ... that during the Armenian Genocide, Tacy Atkinson smuggled razor blades into a prison where Armenians were imprisoned so that once they were hung, they could easily cut the rope and escape?

Looks good but there is a small mistake in tense, it should be "they could easily cut the rope". DarkToonLinkHeyaah! 08:44, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure the phrase "once they were hung" is justified by the source. The source mentions nothing of hanging as the method of murder and certainly doesn't justify that the razors would be used in some amazing mid-hanging escape (as the hook currently reads). Article should also be corrected. Alt1 below. AbstractIllusions (talk) 02:20, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that during the Armenian Genocide, Tacy Atkinson smuggled razor blades into a prison where Armenians were imprisoned so that they could escape?
- ALT1 fine with me. Proudbolsahye (talk) 02:54, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Can we please have a review that states what DYK requirements have been checked? "Looks good" is simply not adequate. Have struck original hook for the reasons noted above. ALT1 needs to be reviewed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:25, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, I wasn't meaning to do a completely perfect review, since this is really my first time at DYK and I'm not very experienced... I was simply saying there weren't any obvious copyvios and it was adequate length and such. I just wanted to point out the small grammatical mistake, since I was obliged to comment on another editor's submission. DarkToonLinkHeyaah! 10:18, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
- The article is practically good to go. Can we just have someone approve ALT1 please. Proudbolsahye (talk) 18:48, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this is not "practically good to go". I've read through the Atkinson source's intro, and the article's summation of events from it does not always accurately reflect what's in the source. I've removed the assertion in "Later life" that Alice had anything to do with the return of the diary from Turkey (she just remembers that the trunk showed up nine years after they left the country), and in the "Early life" section, the third through fifth sentences give a skewed sense of time and motivation and need to be revised. Also, as DarkToonLink is a new reviewer, I think it would be a good idea to have someone more experienced to do a complete review, not merely a glance at ALT1.

- Okay, I made the needed clarifications in the "Early life" section. We need a new reviewer should check this out. Proudbolsahye (talk) 21:20, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- This article is new enough and long enough. The hook is accepted in good faith as I am unable to verify the hook fact because the page concerned is not available in the google book. No copyvios found. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:02, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
