- Comment: Moved article from user space on 30 August, after working on the article on and off since 2014. Article contains over 6,000 characters of prose. Earwig's found that the article 6.5% and provided a "violation unlikely" result. QPQ met by this review. No image used in this nomination. Hooks are all under 200 characters and are cited in the article.
Created/expanded by RightCowLeftCoast (talk). Self-nominated at 20:56, 1 September 2018 (UTC).
Article is new enough at the time of the nomination, and meets the neutrality and length requirements. All statements and hook proposals are adequately sourced. No copyright violations detected. QPQ provided. My concern is that some of the hooks are inaccessible to those unfamiliar with Philippine history. ALT0 is my main preference (although ALT1, which needs to be copyedited, and ALTs 3 and 4 are also acceptable), but they need to be rephased to make it clear that it involves the Philippines (since the hooks could be mistaken for something that involves any other Spanish-speaking colony). Once the hook concerns are addressed, this will be good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:03, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- How about these @Narutolovehinata5:?

- ALT1.1: ... that following the success of returning Pensionados in the Philippines, after studying in the United States, that it enticed other Filipinos to immigrate to the United States?

- ALT2.1: ... that before the Fullbright program the Pensionado Act, a program to provide college education to Filipinos in the United States, was the largest scholarship program? Mixed Blessing: The Impact of the American Colonial Experience on Politics and Society in the Philippines McFerson 2002
- ALT3.1: ... that returning Pensionados opened nursing schools in the Philippines, training the many nurses who immigrated to fill the world's nursing shortages? Source: "Honoring the inspiration of Fil-Am nurses this National Nurses Week" Asian Journal Varona 2018
- I would also like to include another hook:
- ALT5: ... that one of the goals of the Pensionado Act was to "make a favorable impression" of the Philippines in the United States? The Blood of Government: Race, Empire, the United States, and the Philippines Kramer 2006
- Out of all these, ALT1.1 is the most culturally significant to Filipino Americans as it provided an additional catalyst to the second wave of immigration of Filipinos to the United States.
- Additionally October is Filipino American History Month. When approved, can this hook be held until 1 October, or better yet 18 October (the anniversary of Filipinos setting foot on the continental United States.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:42, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
With that, I guess this should to be good to go then. As I mentioned earlier, ALT0 (or rather, ALT0.1) remains my preference, while ALT1.1 appears to be the nominator's preference (although it will need some copyediting). As all the new hooks are fine to me, I will leave the final choice to the promoter. As for the hook is about Filipino American History Month, I would suggest sticking to the October 1 date, and perhaps I'd suggest to the nominator to nominate a new DYK that's more directly related to October 18.
