  • It looks like this article is also below the 1500 character minimum. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 20:02, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
This article was created on October 14, the article is over the 1500 character threshold, and the article is within policy. The images are licensed by CC. QPQ is satisfied, though you really need to check for close paraphrasing when reviewing nominations. I double checked the Navroji Mistri article (everything looked okay), but checking for plagiarism is an essential component of DYK reviews. The hook here is under 200 characters, but I don't think it satisfies the "interesting" requirement. People get honorary degrees all the time for all kinds of reasons -- there is nothing inherently noteworthy or interesting about receiving an honorary degree. Therefore, I would like to propose this alternate hook:
  • ALT1 ... that Salvatore Grimaldi (pictured) has been described as the "richest immigrant in Sweden"?
Let me know what you think of this new hook. If you like it, then we'll have to get another editor to approve it, because you cannot approve your own hooks. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 23:03, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
  • I've reworded the first hook and unlinked Sweden in the ALT1, per WP:OVERLINK. Edwardx (talk) 20:43, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Because I am the author of ALT1, we'll need another editor to approve this. Many thanks to Edwardx for their editorial fine-tuning! -- Notecardforfree (talk) 21:58, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Thank you all for creating and then passing on a really interesting article! Very accomplished guy, even wrote a book and I agree first hook is too bland for him and am striking it in favor of the ALT. Four days old when nominated, 1834 char, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing, in-line citations. Hook has 89 char, well under maximum. Photo is shown on commons as freely usable with attribution. QPQ done. Looks GTG. SusunW (talk) 02:44, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
