(alternative hook which I found interesting) ALT1: ... that the German linguist Hermann Collitz had studied four languages at school by the age of 13, in addition to two more he encountered at home? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:34, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: That review was pleasantly straightforward, and also informative. Very nice text expansion, balanced and reasonable, cited quite well. No earwig issues. Just one thing then - the rules for citation of the hook fact(s) are quite specific, and are not yet met. I don't think it will be a problem, but the hook fact(s) must appear in the article, and be cited "no later than the end of the sentence" - so Bryn Mawr for the subject needs a repeat cite, and I think that the points re. Thomas and Wilson need to be mentioned (and cited) in-article. I will be standing by. The ALT is mildly interesting but not maybe so exceptional - I know several bilingual kids who have also studied three further languages in school. SeoR (talk) 00:17, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SeoR: I was surprised because I remember adding that in, so I looked and the relevant text seems to have been removed between the nomination and your review. I added it back with a note that the page of Collitz's biography cited in that sentence explicitly states that they were colleagues (the same page quoted above). How to proceed is up to you, but I'd suggest waiting a few days to make sure it's stable before moving forward. Wug·a·po·des 19:12, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, @Wugapodes: and that's good to know, and I think that's a sensible suggestion; I think 1-2 days will suffice. SeoR (talk) 20:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SeoR and Wugapodes: The article hasn't been edited in several days to this should probably be good now for a new look. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, and yes, agreed, I'm back and this is good to go. SeoR (talk) 23:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
