Nice work; noble cause. The article date and size look good, the neutrality and referencing check out, copyvio passes muster, the hook is fine, QPQ etc. I capitalized the P in Professor as it is a title here rather than a generic role. Binksternet (talk) 08:28, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook is hardly worthy of his long and distinguished career. It would be much more interesting to say who he is, what he accomplished, and that after being forced to retire, he went to work as a farmer. Yoninah (talk) 15:22, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- I am dealing with a work emergency and don't have the mental bandwidth for anything at the moment. Yoninah, would you be willing to propose a few hooks and then ping Binksternet to okay them? If not, can you remind me about this mid-next week? Thanks, The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 17:34, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- Here is a new hook for consideration:
- ALT1: ... that after nearly 40 years as a prolific researcher and professor of demography at Makerere University in Uganda, James P. M. Ntozi was forced to retire, and became a farmer? Yoninah (talk) 15:11, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Sure. Works for me. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 18:06, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. @Binksternet: would you mind reviewing ALT1? Yoninah (talk) 18:08, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Works great! Suitably referenced, hooky, etc. Let's run with it. Binksternet (talk) 18:15, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Binksternet: Thank you. Please remember the approval tick. Yoninah (talk) 18:47, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, the approval tick for sure. Binksternet (talk) 19:04, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
