Did you know... that an apparently jobless man wearing a cardboard box who taped himself to a lamppost was actually a new DJ for a Vermont radio station?

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.
Overall: Article was expanded from 225B to 2681B ( x11 expansion) on November 26. Two issues before I can pass this:
Per
WP:DYKCRIT 3b: "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact." There are two sentences in the article that support the various facts of the hook, but the first one ("One afternoon in late April...") has no inline citation at the end of its sentence.
The {{main}} template is inappropriately used at the end of the "History" section. Per
Template:Main, this template should only be used after a section heading and in a section that is a summary of the main article it's linking to, which is not how the template is currently used in the article. I think the template can be removed without losing anything of value to the readers; perhaps wikilink
Vermont Public Radio when it first appears in the last paragraph instead.
