  • Comment: I am currently very busy offline. I will review another DYK at my earliest convenience. However, I would appreciate any input on my nomination for my first DYK and GA promotion on a topic of personal interest, Pete Buttigieg. Moreover, I copied references directly from the Pete Buttigieg article. I apologize if this (or anything else in my template) was not the appropriate procedure. Thank you for your suggestions!

Improved to Good Article status by AndrewPeterT (talk). Self-nominated at 01:50, 7 October 2021 (UTC).

  • – @AndrewPeterT – New enough (promoted GA on October 5, 2021) and long enough (38765 characters). Sources and neutrality all seem fine. The main hooks implies that Buttigieg is fluent in 8 languages (really exceptional), but the article says that he has "some knowledge" of those languages. None of the sources say that he is "fluent". I'd really avoid it to be on the main page, as it is unclear. Rest, the hooks are withing character limit; neutrality and WP:BLP appears all right. Every hook is interesting, but my preference is for ALT 4. I have un-linked almost everything except a few things, as rest appears to be overlinking. Let me know if you disagree. The hooks appear in the article, and are cited. The picture is very clear, and licenced properly. And QPQ is not required as you have less than 5 nominations, but feel free to do them. I leave the inclusion of "(pictured)" on the promoter, as we are currently in trial period. Almost good to go. Just some clarification needed. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Also, I'd replace 'rival' with 'competitor' in ALT 4. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:42, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
  • @Kavyansh.Singh: Thank you for your review of my DYK nomination and the clarification on the QPQ policy. I am glad to see that my hooks already meet most of the requirements. Regarding the main hook, I have rewritten the sentence to state that Secretary Buttigieg has knowledge of eight languages. This wording is more similar to the text in the actual article. Also, I have changed rival to competitor in my ALT 4 hook as suggested. I do not have any objections to you removing most of my article links. I had included them just in case readers did not know and/or wanted more information about those topics. Finally, I am fine with my ALT 4 hook being on the main page instead of my main hook. Please let me know if you have any more questions and/or comments. Hurricane Andrew (444) 20:21, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
  • – Fine, I'll approve ALT 1, 2, 3, and 4, with image. "Good to go", Great work! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:14, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
