... that S&P sovereign ratings division head David T. Beers is responsible for the recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating?

Almost there. Please verify each ref url, and add an accessdate to each ref. Also, the final ref is just a bare url; please include ref info. BTW, if this is not your first DYK self-nom, plz add a link to the last DYK article review you have completed :) Rcej (Robert) – talk 06:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the recommendations. As far as I can tell (see Wikipedia:Did you know/Citation), there is no requirement for access dates, however. I'll change the bare url, though, and I'll review another DYK since this isn't my first self-nom (btw, is that still a requirement, to review another DYK? I looked carefully for that, because it used to exist, but I couldn't find it anywhere). Regards, Malick78 (talk) 10:16, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Access dates are generally considered important, because the links may die eventually and we need access dates to show that they used to work. Adding them would be a simple matter and save a lot of trouble in the long run. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:56, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Refs fixed and added accessdates. Malick78, plz reference the first paragraph of the Media perception section, and we're set ;) Rcej (Robert) – talk 04:41, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's now been referenced. Sorry for the delay... had to fly somewhere :) Malick78 (talk) 22:35, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Missing a citation at the bottom of the first paragraph in media perception. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:59, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I didn't add the unreferenced para (Rcej assumed I did), but I tried to find a ref for the last part of it and failed. So I cut the last sentence. The article is still long enough though. The missing section can be readded if and when somebody with a reference wants to.. Malick78 (talk) 19:36, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just reviewed another article, the Brunette Coleman nomination, as required. Malick78 (talk) 19:53, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
