Improved to Good Article status by ExcellentWheatFarmer (talk). Self-nominated at 18:39, 12 September 2021 (UTC).
I can suggest some other interesting hooks (but do add them in the article too, if chosen). ALT 1 would work well in the last slot of a DYK set. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 19:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

- ExcellentWheatFarmer – Hope that helps. Moreover, I would recommend requesting this article to appear on the main page on October 1 (97th birthday of President Carter) for getting much more views! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 19:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Newly promoted GA - plenty long and well written. QPQ is not needed (nominator's first DYK). Image is freely licensed and used in the article. ALT0 is in the article, but not particularly catchy. ALT1 is much catchier, but would need to be added to the article. @ExcellentWheatFarmer: Do you have a preference between those? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:16, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- ALT1 is indeed quite catchy, but I'm struggling to place where it would fit in smoothly in the article. Any suggestions? As for myself I'd prefer using ALT2 - it's in the article and being the first Nobel peace prize winner is certainly noteworthy. – ExcellentWheatFarmer (talk) 21:38, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- @ExcellentWheatFarmer: The personal life section would probably be the best place. ALT2 is indeed a noteworthy fact, but it's not an attention-grabbing one. DYK hooks are supposed to pique the reader's curiosity; they're not necessarily the most important facts. For example, two of my favorites of my hooks are Charles/MGH station and Silver Hill station.

- @Pi.1415926535: Alright, I've added ALT1 to the article. – ExcellentWheatFarmer (talk) 19:02, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
Good to go, then. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:54, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
