Alfred Brownell[edit]

... that Liberian lawyer Alfred Brownell won the “Green Nobel” prize for his efforts to protect half a million acres of tropical forest land? Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-liberia-landrights-prize/palm-oil-development-leaves-liberians-poorer-says-winner-of-green-nobel-idUSKCN1S50TN

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - The source here above (from Reuters) is not in the article, but a different reference is used in the article (ref. #1 VOA). This should be harmonized (I prefer Reuters over VOA).
Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article size is technically long enough but at bare minimum - 1537 characters; almost seems like a case of WP:BIO1E. Nothing else to add? -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 15:22, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. I added the Reuters ref to the article. You are right that the article was the bare minimum--I came across it a couple of days after it was created and thought that it was interesting and should be featured as a DYK, but was busy that day so only added enough text to make it just long enough for DYK. However, there is a lot more to say about Alfred Brownell. I've now expanded the article a bit and edited for accuracy. Thanks, Philepitta (talk) 03:45, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

The hook source has been addressed, and article is a bit longer. Looks good to me. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 12:56, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

The hook facts need to be included and cited in the article before this can be promoted. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:12, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

I added the fact that the Goldman Environmental Prize is also called the "Green Nobel," which I think was the missing piece. Was that the fact that you were looking for? Thanks, Philepitta (talk) 03:37, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Replacing tick. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:58, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
