I'm listed as one of the creators. I'd suggest rephrasing to highlight the contrast between "archbishop" and "prison chaplain" and remove unessential "missionary": that Gherardo Gambelli, the incoming Archbishop of Florence, served as a prison chaplain in Chad for more than a decade? Rutsq (talk) 17:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rutsq: good suggestion. Please feel free to suggest any other ALT hooks. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New enough; definitely long enough; presentable; no images; and QPQ fulfilled. Original hook is spicy, although I feel awkward just repeating someone else's quote about the subject; ALT1 is bland but also fine. Earwig can't find any copyvios and it rephrases all the cited sources. Two slight citation problems: the archdiocese of Florence press release link has decayed (I fixed this), and the Avvenire source does not support the claim that "his return to Italy in 2023 [was] at the request of his ordinary, Giuseppe Betori, Archbishop of Florence". I suspect a bad translation turned "rendere noto" into "made certain", when it really means "made public". A simple fix is to remove the "at the...Florence" clause, which is not necessary for the rest of the sentence (I did not fix this). Otherwise, the sources seem reliable: the only iffy one is the archdiocese of Florence press release, which may not be indepedent &emdash; but that is not the sole citation for the claim it supports.

@Bernanke's Crossbow: done. Thanks a million for getting the archive URL for that press release! —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:27, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chad 2001

Gambelli refers in an interview to some early involvement with Chad, though it's hard to rework in encyclopedic language: "My journey, however, began way back in 2001, in that period I helped in the national seminary, a structure created in the 1990s by the first Jesuit missionaries in Chad, handed over to the Chadian diocesan priests who, however, did not have enough formators..." The source is here, dated 10 August 2023. Rutsq (talk) 17:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
