- I moved a citation to support the hook in the article - it was needed end of sentence. Lightburst (talk) 22:15, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
@Piotrus and Casablanca Rock: Another issue is the source for the hook says, "In response to the criticism, the implementation of the law was postponed from January 1 to March 1." One of our rules is that the hook must have facts that are not likely to change WP:DYKHOOK. Was the law implemented on March 1? If so this article and hook will not be accurate. Also per WP:DYKCOMPLETE this article needs to be developed. Lightburst (talk) 22:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Lightburst, I will improve the sections as you've stated. The citation I had there was the best English language citation I could find, but there are more accurate Georgian language sources that explain more about the implementation of the law. It was delayed until June 1. The Georgian government released an update to the 2005 gambling law on the website of the legal corpus specifying the law going into effect on June 1. Sorry that this is a bit confusing, that previous article that has a lot of information about the law in English did not have the update of the law being delayed in implementation until June 1 instead of March 1. Please let me know if that source isn't good and I can try to find something else. There is an English language source that does mention the delayed implementation, but it is from a gambling industry news site. I cited it in the article itself, but I was not sure if that would be helpful/good for DYK. Casablanca 🪨(T) 14:36, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Lightburst: Has this been resolved? If not, what needs to be done to get this approved? Z1720 (talk) 13:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Z1720 and Casablanca Rock: The nominator has made two edits special:diff/1218301139 and special:diff/1218302327 to the article, both on April 10. The edits did not address the timeline problem. Lightburst (talk) 14:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Piotrus — Z1720 — Lightburst: Thank you all for your patience in allowing me time to resolve the issue relating to the implementation date. I added the citation to the Georgian law that shows the implementaiton date now. I'll try to be faster about resolving these issues in the future. Casablanca 🪨(T) 13:31, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the corrections. "In the 2000s, gambling took off in Georgia." Took off is not encyclopedic. I think we can approve this now. The hook is interesting and I see it cited in the article. Lightburst (talk) 00:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

- I think our hook needs a tweak to be country of Georgia specific.
