... that Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty played first string quarterback ahead of NFL hall-of-famer Terry Bradshaw in college at Louisiana Tech University?

Article expansion is new enough and expansion is more than 5X. The hook is interesting and sourced reliably to ESPN. However, all of the citations are bar url's. Per DYK rules, bare url's are not acceptable. So citations have to be formatted properly. Cbl62 (talk) 21:20, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

The citation is now formatted properly, let me know if anything else needs fixing! Carwile2 (talk) 23:44, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Carwile -- The majority of the article's citations are still bare url's. See Supplemental DYK Rule D3: "References in the article must not be bare URLs such as http://example.com or [1] – according to Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 29#Reference section. Many bare-URL references can be automatically completed with Reflinks." These need to be fixed before this could be promoted. Cbl62 (talk) 16:02, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Two weeks since last notification and still no progress on resolving problem with bare URLs. --Allen3 ^talk 12:05, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

I have formatted ALL sources correctly, so we should be good to go now! Carwile2 (talk) 18:22, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Bare urls have now been removed. Cbl62 (talk) 01:11, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
