Wendell Steavenson
- ... that Circling the Square by Wendell Steavenson documents the events of the 2011 Egyptian revolution to the June 2013 Egyptian protests centered around Cairo’s Tahrir Square? Source: “It documents the 29 turbulent months that preceded that moment, starting with Steavenson’s arrival in Cairo on 29 January 2011, four days after young Egyptians had taken to the streets in the protests that would bring down the superannuated president Hosni Mubarak” The Guardian
Created by Thriley (talk) and Significa liberdade (talk). Nominated by Thriley (talk) at 22:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Wendell Steavenson; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is new enough, long enough, no copyvio, sourcing is good, prose is good, no significant style issues. Is her nationality not known? Minor but may be worth including. Only thing is I think the hook is a little awkwardly worded, but not sure of how to fix. Let me know what you think of this, lmk if you prefer yours:
- ... that journalist Wendell Steavenson's book Circling the Square covers the events from the 2011 Egyptian revolution to the June 2013 Egyptian protests, which were centered around Cairo's Tahrir Square?
- I'm fascinated by Egypt around this period btw. I got to visit Tahrir Square in 2022. It was around COP 27, so there were guards everywhere; they prevented me from going up to the main monument :( toobigtokale (talk) 04:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Thriley and Significa liberdade: Please address the above concerns. Z1720 (talk) 16:26, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- I prefer toobigtokale's phrasing over the original. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:56, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Haven't heard back yet from the other user, but I'm willing to approve with my alt hook. toobigtokale (talk) 00:18, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Toobigtokale: Your hook is much better. Thank you! Thriley (talk) 18:34, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
