Created by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 18:54, 12 November 2022 (UTC). This article seems quite interesting and topical so I'm happy to review it as my QPQ: --Coin945 (talk) 03:35, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article
    • New – within the past seven days, the article has been created (sandbox → mainspace is eligible) --> Moved from Draft:Erick Russell on November 12, 2022.
    • Long enough – the prose portion is at least 1,500 characters --> 1717 characters (269 words) "readable prose size"
    • Within policy – meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular:
      • is neutral --> Content reads as neutral without peacock terms. An example is the opening sentence, Erick Russell is an American politician from Connecticut, which doesn't give undue weight to any positive or negative news story.
      • cites sources with inline citations ---> 12 sources cited, all from reliable websites.
      • is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism --> https://www.newhaven.edu/news/blog/2022/erick-russell.php 13.0%, https://www.ctforme.com/post/95/four-questions-erick-russell 12.3%". These are both within the green zone so I will accept them.
  • Hook
    • Format – no more than 200 characters (shorter is better) and meets the formatting guidelines --> Length is adequate.
    • Content
      • interesting to a broad audience --> Hook demonstrates how subject is the first person of a minority sexual orientation and US ethnicity to hold a high-profile job.
      • hook fact is accurate and cited with an inline citation in the article --> Garnering 52% of votes, Russell became the first Black LGBTQ candidate elected to statewide office", as cited by The CT Mirror. Matches hook.
      • neutral and does not focus unduly on negative aspects of living people --> Hook is neutral
  • Other
    • QPQ – all nominators who have five or more DYK nominations must review another article. QPQ completed - Fourth QPQ of nine from Template:Did you know nominations/Arellano Chiefs basketball
    • Image --> N/A
I'm happy to approve this. Nice work!--Coin945 (talk) 13:04, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
