Created by BuySomeApples (talk). Self-nominated at 09:00, 13 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Care and Keeping of You; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced and free of copyvio. Created within seven days of this nomination. Hooks are interesting, succinct, and referenced; ALT1's phrasing is a bit more concise so that would be my choice. QPQ looks good. This is good to go! A fascinating topic—thank you for sharing. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhain: thanks for the review! This was an interesting page to write. BuySomeApples (talk) 07:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was interested in ALT0 - saw that it is sourced to The Daily Beast which is yellow on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. I imagine it is ok because it not controversial information. Bruxton (talk) 14:33, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
