New enough, long enough, copyvio checked. Good inline referencing and really a fine job on creating a detailed article. ALT1 is not very hooky. Source cited for the first hook says "His contributions were vast to his EMC discipline where he has been called “Mr. EMC Standards." ANSI phrases it slightly differently, "Don’s contributions to his EMC discipline were so far-reaching that he donned the moniker 'Mr. EMC Standards.'" I propose a slight re-wording, particularly since the current ALT0 implies he got the nickname for being a PITA about standards rather than for his extensive work on them:
- ALT2... that Donald Heirman got the nickname "Mr EMC Standards" for his work on developing technical standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)?
- I am giving the article a tick with either the original hook or my suggested ALT2, leaving it up to the next editor to pick one of them. HouseOfChange (talk) 16:52, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks HouseOfChange for the review and your kind comments! I'm also happy with your modifications to the hook. Alan Islas (talk) 19:53, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
