• I will review this in the morning per WP:QPQ :) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 04:22, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
• This looks really good! My only question is whether or not a full source, or at the very least, an archive link is required - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 04:29, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi OpalYosutebito thank you for the review, but I'm not sure what you mean by "a full source". What am I missing? RoySmith (talk) 10:39, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

@RoySmith: author info (first and last name), date, website name and archive link - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 11:51, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

I'm still not following you. Is there any particular reference which is missing this information? RoySmith (talk) 11:53, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

• Wait, never mind. Per WP:DYKCITE, what you have is good, since it's not a bare url. However, I'd still encourage adding the archive url I provided to the source (in the form of "archived from the original") since NYT is very subscription-based. I hope this makes more sense! - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 11:55, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

There is no DYK requirement to archive sources. It's certainly a convenient and recommended thing to do, but I generally let IABot handle the details, as it did in Special:Diff/1363631790. RoySmith (talk) 12:04, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Then you're good to go! Sorry for the misunderstanding! :D - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 12:10, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

No problem, I appreciate the time you put into the review. One more thing, however, if your intent is to approve this, you need to add {{subst:DYKtick}}, which various bits of software are looking for to pick up on the approval. RoySmith (talk) 12:13, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
