I have removed this from the prep area and reverted the promotion [1], as explained in Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Removed hook from prep 4. Basically, there are reliable sources indicating that Ringo was not the first such suicide ( Fraley Rogers may have been the first, but there may be others). Fram ( talk) 10:00, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
The article still has the disputed claim about being the first suicide in its lead. This is not supported by the source which does not state this claim in these words. The source is a list of suicides in which this entry appears first but the source also says that its list is not complete. The article therefore still needs some cleanup. I myself have previously worked on a similar topic and so have some familiarity with other sources. I'll have a go at improving the article during this week. Andrew ( talk) 12:08, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
ALT1 good, length fine, age fine, no close paraphrasing (avoided through judicious use of quotations), neutral. Not a DYK deal-breaker but could you find a link for "caught on with" or explain it; I've seen this in other of your articles and a Google search reveals it is used as baseball jargon here rather than in its normal meaning of "became poplar with" (I know that with my previous impressive record on baseball DYKs you will be amazed that I don't know what this means, but I was hit in the head with a radioactive baseball as a child and while I gained an almost superhuman understanding of batting statistics, I lost the ability to understand jargon) Belle ( talk) 08:54, 9 July 2014 (UTC)The result was: promoted by
