Overall: Hook is very interesting. This is the nominator's first nominated article, so a QPQ is not needed at this time. Earwig reported a 41.9% copyright violation but it seems to have come from the quotes provided in the article, which were accurately attributed. However, I do suggest trimming them down or paraphrasing. For the line "The competition became known for often predicting the results of the presidential election", it should end with a comma. As a suggestion, I think there is also potential for the lead to be expanded, but that is not required for DYK. I assume good faith on print sources. lullabying (talk) 03:40, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback! I trimmed some quotes down and used more paraphrasing. I also expanded the lead to summarize the whole article better. AllWeKnowOfHeaven (talk) 00:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go. AGF on print sources. lullabying (talk) 01:24, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: most of the print sources are actually online as well!

Good to go, then. lullabying (talk) 01:25, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
