• Nominator's second DYK, QPQ not yet needed. Hook feels a bit long, so I decided to add a couple alt hooks (same thing but shorter). @MarsandCadmium: I would recommend you include the page numbers of your source next time if relevant, but the hook is verified at page 4. Article new and long enough, generally well-referenced, no copyvio by earwig or by a cursory check of the thesis. Per WP:RS, Master's theses are only acceptable if it has significant scholarly influence, which the source in question appears to be. Good to go then. Juxlos (talk) 11:32, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

capitalization

MSGJ reverted this edit] as "misplaced," and suggested that it be discussed. WP:SECTIONCAPS is why I made the edit; "demise" should not be capitalized. I also changed "northern" per MOS:COMPASS, and changed the leading capital in a wikilink because I have observed that some editors incorrectly conclude that article names are proper nouns. That last had no impact on the content, however. I am not clear what the editor believes to be "misplaced." ~TPW 15:08, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

I reverted because you added {{WikiProject Africa|class=???}} which should be placed on the talk page — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:10, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for providing a clearer explanation. Wouldn't it have been more helpful just to move the template, though? ~TPW 15:38, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
