5x expanded by Toadboy123 (talk). Self-nominated at 08:29, 20 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Leonard K. Carson; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough, long enough, well cited and direct cite (several) on the hook. Could use a few more details in Early Life, but that's not a DYK issue. GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:06, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Toadboy123: A few issues with that are not esp DYK related but good to review. The article suffers from WP:OVERCITE and MOS:LEADCITE; and I do not think we normally do awards/decorations the way this article has them displayed. I will promote the hook and these things can be sorted by the gleaners or nominator. @Maury Markowitz: has also called out an issue regarding early life that you might address so that others do not call out WP:DYKCOMPLETE.
