There seems to be some grammatical issues with the hook. How about this one: "ALT1: ... that in 2016, Jayanthi Kuru-Utumpala became the first Sri Lankan to summit Mount Everest?" –IagoQnsi (talk) 02:43, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@IagoQnsi: Oh thanks for letting me know about my careless error in the hook. I will correct it. Abishe (talk) 14:47, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Article is new enough (expanded 30 May 2020)
- Article is not a 5x expansion. The count went from 944 characters to 4525, which my copyedit brought down to 4429. You are a few sentences short (the target is 4,720).
- Neutral, cites sources, does not appear to contain plagarism (passes Earwig and eye checks)
- Hook is interesting and cited.
- This would be their fifth DYQ, so QPQ is not required.
- I have added in an image. It is freely licensed, the full size is used in the article, and looks good at 120px. Promoter: Note that uploading and adding to the article the original file are the uploader's only two contributions to any Wikimedia project.
- Please ping me with {{ping|The Squirrel Conspiracy}} when the article has a few more sentences of content in it. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:50, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the comments and I will work out to add those sentences in order to match with the cut out. Give me a day to finish off my work. Abishe (talk) 19:46, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Squirrel Conspiracy: I have added few sentences as per the suggestion made by you. I hope the article is pity ok. Cheers. Abishe (talk) 13:27, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now long enough to be a 5x expansion. See above for rest of review. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 18:39, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
