Could you eliminate the repetition in the hook please? A "regent" is not "a regent". "Where" is also being used incorrectly. Yoninah (talk) 22:16, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gerald Waldo Luis Yoninah has been offline for several days. ALT3 ... that the Regent of Thousand Islands is the only one in Indonesia who is appointed by the governor instead of elected by the people? SL93 (talk) 05:27, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this me reviewing? Ah, fuck, juvenile amnesia strikes. Anyway yeah, ALT3 is good to go. I'd note that Jeromi Mikhael, the DYK nominator, has voluntarily temporarily blocked himself to let him focus on ensuing exams. Gerald WL 15:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Placing here to mark that ALT3 was approved. SL93 (talk) 18:57, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
