Comment: I may be wrong but the rule "If you have previously nominated fewer than five articles (whether self-nominated or otherwise), no QPQ is required." seems to imply that you only don't need a QPQ for your first four nominations not five. I could be wrong though. Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr Salvus and Onegreatjoke: The rule is commonly interpreted to mean that the first five nominations do not require a QPQ - upon your fifth nomination, you technically would have only nominated four articles previously. On the other hand, you need a QPQ for your sixth nomination, since you would have previously nominated five articles. Regardless, if you have a QPQ Dr Salvus, that would be great.

Overall: As per above discussion, no QPQ is required since Dr Salvus only has four QPQ credits, so this will be his fifth DYK. The article is good to go. Personally, I would put the word "football" after "Serie A" in the hook, i.e. "...that Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi is the first woman to referee a Serie A football match?" But that's just my preference. Epicgenius (talk) 17:49, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
