Created by Mottezen (talk). Self-nominated at 22:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Graham Fraser (otolaryngologist); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hi Mottezen (talk), review follows: article created 4 September and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources for the subject matter; I didn't spot any issue with overly close paraphrasing from the sources; a QPQ has been carried out; hook fact is interesting, stated in the article and checks out to source cited. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:08, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mottezen and Dumelow: I think the hook needs to be reworded to:

ALT0a: ... that Graham Fraser pioneered cochlear implantation in the United Kingdom?

Because he wasn't a pioneer in the technology of cochlear implants, but rather their implementation in the UK. Also changed "the" to "a" (because there likely were others) and then back to "pioneered" as verb which matches the source. Cielquiparle (talk) 01:38, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cielquiparle I agree, let’s go with your alt0a, I like it! Mottezen (talk) 01:41, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, fine by me - Dumelow (talk) 11:52, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
