ALT1:... that Alexander Bielaski(pictured) was friends with Abraham Lincoln, offered Mexican citizenship by Santa Anna, and the grandfather of a director of what became the FBI? Hughes 1991, the Wytrwal PDF, and the FBI source linked in the article
Comment: Expanded from 2711 to 15kb bytes of readable prose per the prose checker tool, should be about 1,000 over the 5x expansion requirement
5x expanded by Hog Farm (talk). Self-nominated at 07:26, 13 March 2021 (UTC).
Overall: ALT1 is much better on the "interesting" point, but it is a bit long-winded and seemingly links unrelated facts together - maybe picking one or two of these items might be better (the FBI director thing is certainly the most interesting bit). Also noting that the article is up for GA nomination. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
How about:
ALT2:... that Alexander Bielaski(pictured) was friends with Abraham Lincoln and the grandfather of a director of what became the FBI? Hughes 1991 and the FBI source linked in the article
The open GA nomination will only affect DYK in the unlikely situation that 1000 bytes of readable prose gets removed from the article over the course of the review. I don't see that happening, but if it does, I will withdraw this. Pinging RandomCanadian. Hog FarmTalk 20:07, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
If the article passes GA, that counts as eligibility for DYK (Wikipedia:Did_you_know#Eligibility_criteria - 1.f). Anyway this suggestion is better, and although it might be better to wait for the GA to post a hook then, for the time being, Approved ALT2.
