@GenQuest: I don't think it's allowed under the rules I'm afraid. However, I'm willing to donate a QPQ if you absolutely will be unable to provide a QPQ. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:34, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Narutolovehinata5 That used to be the case for your first five articles, lots of us just "banked" them, but I never used any of that. But, if the rules have changed since then, so be it. I'll find time to review one. Thanks for the offer anyway. GenQuest "scribble" 00:59, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I assume good faith on the print reference. Tumblr is an unreliable source.
:NOTICE: @SL93: Offending source and any content specific to it has been removed. GenQuest "scribble" 02:44, 5 January 2023 (UTC) SL93 (talk) 01:19, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GenQuest Can you cite "first Canadian to hijack a commercial airliner and[no] ... the first person to plan a skyjacking with an escape by use of a parachute"[2] in the article along with the rest of the lead? I don't see the info in the article body either. I don't see mention of three flight crew members[4] in the article. SL93 (talk) 02:54, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SL93 can't locate my orig source for "first Canadian", so I removed from article and ALTs for expediency; The rest are cited as above; I added some content to the lede regarding the stewardess and two other flight crew members that subdued him [Dohey, Flight Purser Arpin, and Captain Ehman]. They are mentioned in the article body.
GenQuest The last that I can see in the lead that is uncited is - "the first person to plan a skyjacking with a planned escape by use of a parachute"[2][1] and that the wildnerness was in Alberta, Canada.[5] SL93 (talk) 13:45, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SL93 See the added text(s) to refs I've made to help clarify. BTW: Calgary is in Alberta. Thanks for the help, GenQuest "scribble" 17:48, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The part "is noted as the first person to plan a skyjacking with a planned escape by use of a parachute" still wasn't referenced in the article so I added the citation. This is ready and the promoter can choose the hook. SL93 (talk) 17:55, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
