... that the chancery of the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu was bought with donations? Source: "On the occasion of the first anniversary of Philippine independence, July 4, 1947, Farolan proposed a project to acquire through a pooling of resources a building which would serve as a permanent living memorial to the industry of Filipinos in the territory." –The Honolulu Advertiser
- ALT1: ... that the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu is in one of the most beautiful homes in Hawaii? Source: "Although it is a spacious building, and for two generations was one of the most beautiful homes in Hawaii, the consul general and other officials of the consulate have homes elsewhere." –Honolulu Star-Bulletin

Comment (not a review) - @Sky Harbor just to remind you that you still haven't done your QPQ.
- Sky Harbor, since the ping above wouldn't have worked without a sig, reminding you that a QPQ is required for this nomination. You have seven days from this notification to complete one. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:36, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New enough, long enough, no copyvio per Earwig, hooks check out with sources cited and are interesting enough. I've added a request for citation and modified a sentence in the article for clarity. Another interesting article from the series on Philippine diplomatic missions from @Sky Harbor:. This should be good to go as soon as he completes the QPQ.

Apologies, I was traveling the last couple of days. Letting BlueMoonset and Ashwin147 know that QPQ is complete and the citation request addressed. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 00:01, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Sky Harbor. Note to Ashwin147: for future reference, a tick should never be given if the QPQ is missing. If that's all that's missing, then the ? icon is the one to give; we don't want nominations on the Approved page until everything is taken care of, and that includes the required QPQ. Thanks.

Thanks @Sky Harbor: & noted, @BlueMoonset:. Ashwin147 (talk) 09:31, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sky Harbor and Ashwin147: I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that ALT1 needs in-hook attribution of some kind – we can't take one reviewer's opinion about home beauty in wikivoice. But ALT0 seems to be fine :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:38, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Upon closer inspection, I'm not sure ALT0 checks out, either; the newspaper doesn't explicitly say that this resource pool needs to be from Filipinos in Hawaii – only that it should commemorate them. Can that be fixed? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:40, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron:, I agree with your observation on ALT1. However, the objection with ALT0 appears to be misplaced. The assertion simply is that the chancery was built with donations. On going through the article again, I think a better source for the ALT0 hook would have been Source 4: "The 'Sakada' Consulate" which speaks of donations being raised mostly from Filipino farmhands in Hawaii. The hook can be accepted as verified. @Sky Harbor: the source records the date as 22.07.1986, which is different from what is mentioned in the reference list. You might want to check that.
