- Greetings Floating Orb, and thank you for your work in making marmalade a good article. As you may be new to DYK, I highly recommend reading through the supplementary guidelines. Is the page number for the book that is cited known? The hook may also be considered exceptional, so a second source for it may be needed. Aneirinn (talk) 20:00, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @Aneirinn! I fixed it with a new citation. Floating Orb (talk) 24:05, 8 July 2025 (UTC).
- I am having some difficulty accessing it to find where the citation supports the hook. Can you quote what is being cited from The New York Times that supports the hook's claim that the Scottish in the 18th century added water to marmalade to produce a less solid preserve than before?

I do not think this hook is unusual or intriguing. How about these?
