Overall: Although there may be further alts, this one is good to go. Just needing the QPQ to complete. No Great Shaker (talk) 16:11, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

No Great Shaker Thanks for the review, I've reviewed one of the articles at Template:Did you know nominations/Ibrahim Omer. Is that sufficient for a QPQ? I think so, but may be wrong... Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 16:46, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Eddie. That looks good to me so I've checked the QPQ variable. I'll keep this in watch for any extra alts but it's definitely good to go with just ALT0. I've heard this about Whitman before – it actually came up in a quiz of all things! It's a very good article. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 18:30, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
