QPQ: Done.

Overall: New GA; I made a quite number of copyedits but the article is otherwise well sourced and neutrally written after the GA review. For any of the hooks, you should replace the main link with his mayoralty to reduce duplication. I like the original or Alt3 best, except remove "a period of" since we know 1,000 days is a period of time. Alt2 should be "came out as gay". Reywas92^Talk 00:02, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

FWIW I think ALT3 is kind of boring. ALT0 is fine, though the caveat "... with a population over 100,000" makes it feel a little weak. ALT1 is also OK. My preference would be for a condensed version of ALT2. Perhaps one of these: › Mortee _talk 01:11, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
ALT2a:... that, during the mayoralty of Pete Buttigieg, he (pictured) came out as the first openly gay elected executive in Indiana?

ALT2b:... that, during his mayoralty, Pete Buttigieg (pictured) came out as Indiana's first openly gay elected executive?

@SecretName101: the review by Reywas92 ticked everying except for QPQ. Is this one of your first five nominations, or have you reviewed another nomination? Also, anything to add about which of the various ALTs you prefer? › Mortee _talk 22:17, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

I reviewed another nomination. SecretName101 (talk) 20:37, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

@Reywas92: looks like QPQ was done later here. If this is good to go, could you tick it for whichever ALTs you think are suitable? › Mortee _talk 07:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

I like both ALT2a and ALT2b. The rest of the DYK is approved. Reywas92^Talk 01:58, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

SecretName101 and Reywas92, I chose to promote hook 6, incorporating Reywas92's suggestion re: "his mayoralty" and changing "for firing" to "when he fired" to avoid having the word "for" twice in quick succession. If this change isn't okay, please ping me. MeegsC (talk) 12:36, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
