  • This is one of more impressive article expansions I've seen nominated at DYK in my many years of volunteering here. Very good work! QPQ is done, no copyright violations detected, no policy issues found. Article was nominated on day of expansion. Solid sources cited throughout, with a comprehensive global coverage of this topic. This is now one of the better food articles on the English language wikipedia. Hook fact is interesting and verified to the cited journal article. Licensing checks out for the photo. I hope this image gets picked, because the quality of this article deserves a lead spot in the Did You Know section. I don't normally praise articles like this in review. Fantastic work. (I note too that much of the original article is now on a separate page at List of flatbreads but formatted into a better and more attractive list).4meter4 (talk) 16:01, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
