Created by Kline (talk). Self-nominated at 22:27, 14 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Maciej Grabowski (economist); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Date, size, refs, all good. I have mild concerns about the hook's neutrality, plus - it is mind numbingly boring IMHO (and true for a lot of politicians in similar positions worldwide). I am passing it as I can't think of anything more interesting in this very down-to-earth-boring-politician biography, and the implied criticism is also pretty tame. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:38, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
@Kline: I agree with @Piotrus: that the hook is not interesting. It also requires research within the sources to confirm the claim as none explicitly state it. Bruxton (talk) 20:18, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Bruxton:, @Piotrus:, you guys can just decline the hook if so, because there’s no way in hell I’d be able to find another hook. Kline • talk to me! • contribs 20:51, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Bruxton, I did check the sources and it is mentioned there. I am not declining the nom as I don't think it is possible to get a more interesting hook about this pretty boring (to me) topic (don't take it as criticism, Wikipedia needs those kind of articles too). But since you voted, I am not sure what that means for the review. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:24, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: I won't close this, but I will leave it for another promotor. Bruxton (talk) 03:38, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- In this source I see
At the Ministry of Finance, Grabowski was responsible for tax issues, he is not a specialist in geology or ecology. He is a maritime navigator and economist by profession. Lack of knowledge about the environment is cited as its biggest disadvantage.
So I guess that is the support for the
part of the hook. Bruxton (talk) 22:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)despite never having environmental experience?
