Comment: This is my first DYK nomination, so please let me know if I'm missing or need to fix something; thanks! Thank you to User:Epicgenius on the Discord for helping me reword these hooks!

Article is easily new and long enough. Both hooks are good but I find ALT0 to be far more interesting. Article's sourcing is excellent and both hooks are present in the article. ~~I suspect the sourcing checks out for both, but could you provide page numbers for each hook (both are sourced to FN 11) so I can double check?~~ (As a note, I recommend {{sfn}} for book citations, that way each instance of the citation has its own page number - of course, this is separate from the DYK nom, just a tip that I have found helpful). Earwig looks good, basically all "violations" are the exact phrase "Connecticut House of Representatives" so no issues there. Image is public domain and nom has no prior DYK credits so no QPQ is required. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:35, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I'm an idiot and didn't see your quotations of the source material up with the hooks. This one is good to go! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:38, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
