Good Article review question

Hi there, I've been keeping an eye on the Good Article drive and trying to learn as much as I can about how Good Article reviewing works in practice. I saw your review of Jews in the civil rights movement, and one thing that caught my eye was you suggested that an instance of 'said' should be changed to 'claimed'. I wondered if you're aware of MOS:SAID (and the related WP:ELEVAR? I had read them for the first time yesterday so they were still fresh in mind when I saw this aspect of your review. I hope this comment doesn't cause any offence, it comes from a place of good intent. best regards JustAnotherCompanion (talk) 03:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No offense taken whatsoever. I replaced "claimed" with "stated". Thank you for the suggestion Kimikel (talk) 03:35, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK prep set building

Kimikel, thank you for taking the plunge and building DYK prep sets. There are lots of pieces to juggle, which can be fun and a bit of a challenge.

One thing to be aware of is that we aim to avoid two similar hooks in a row: for example, two bios, two U.S. hooks, and so on. I've just modified Prep 5 and Prep 6 to avoid sequential bios. Thanks again for all your hard work! BlueMoonset (talk) 02:28, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
