Moved to mainspace by Edge3 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:25, 20 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Jamie Kalven; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- I will review. Cielquiparle (talk) 07:02, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
Good article, great addition to Wikipedia. Article is lengthy (16,569 characters), new enough (submitted within 6 days of move into main space), well-sourced, neutrally written. Images are striking and appropriately licensed (CC BY-SA 2.0 for the first; 3.0 us for the second). QPQ is done. Both hooks are cited within the article and are backed up by sources provided; both seem long but are less than 200 characters excluding the word "(pictured)". No apparent copyvio, although Earwig reports one 38.3% match with News21 which seems rather high. So @Edge3: Could you take another look to try to reword in places to reduce close paraphrasing / bring the number down a bit? In any case there is at least one match that could be converted to a direct quote (of the Institute website) if needed. Once you've done that, I am happy to approve.
