| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- A ton of sourcing issues; I've added citation needed tags. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - There's a ton of plagiarism and close paraphrasing from the State department website; additionally, ALT1 is closely paraphrased from the State Department source.
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - ALT0 needs citation, as the source doesn't explicitly state he was the first envoy. ALT1 is cited.
- Interesting:
| QPQ: None required. |
Overall: 
See above; I think ALT1 is really interesting and a good hook, but needs to be changed so it's not paraphrasing and the article just needs a cleanup. Best of luck! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 01:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
