Overall: @Muboshgu: Earwig has a 70.2% match with https://mullbio.com/ruth-levy-gottesman/, but it's apparently one of these mirror sites that copy from enwiki. Otherwise, the article looks good and I prefer ALT1 which sounds less promotional, but the hooks don't have a ref attached to them. Cite the hooks and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 21:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miraclepine, I'm not sure what you mean by "the hooks don't have a ref attached to them". It's the final sentence of the "Philanthropy" section. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Muboshgu: I'm aware they're cited on the nominated article; I actually meant the hooks on this nomination's page. However, since the guidelines (particularly WP:DYKHOOKCITE) don't actually require the refs to be attached on the nomination page,

both hooks with preference for the less promotional-sounding ALT1. ミラP@Miraclepine 22:13, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see. I often do reference the hook in the nomination template, but in a short article like this, I sometimes don't. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:20, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine and Muboshgu: Wondering about the high Earwig score. The entire philanthropy section shows as w4w. Here is the source which was compared and I do not know if they copied us. Bruxton (talk) 18:06, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bruxton, the "Muwado" page is dated March 1. Our page was created and nom'd here February 26-29. Also, note that where the "Muwado" piece text overlaps with ours, there are quotation marks. There's Read this: “With her husband David ... and "When David died in 2022..." with quotation marks. They copied this from us and I think that the quotation marks are a lame way of acknowledging that. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
