The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
I believe this article would better serve the reader if it directly quoted the primary sources, rather than fobbed the reader off to another source to find those passages. Doing this is not citing primary sources, it's helping the reader to go beyond the article for further information. --
