As this is my first DYK review, I would appreciate it if an experienced reviewer or admin could do a quick second check to ensure everything is in order. Thank you! PaulasBunt (talk) 14:47, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

A small tip that has nothing to do with the review... instead of leading to an empty Google Books result, the Internet Archive is more elegant. Despite blocked pages, more can be found via the search function. PaulasBunt (talk) 15:07, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

@PaulasBunt: Thanks for the review, I added this source for Trump. BoneAppleTee (talk) 16:01, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

@BoneAppleTee: Your first DYK nomination and my first review... it was a pleasure, and the article will do well on the DYK website :). PaulasBunt (talk) 16:11, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

@PaulasBunt: I didn't notice it was your first review, you did an excellent and thorough job (from my POV). I hope the article does numbers on here. BoneAppleTee (talk) 16:14, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

Only for the record (as this was my first review): New enough: created on 14 March, nominated on 21 March. The article is well-sourced (one citation was added after request), neutral, and free of copyright issues. The hook has been verified by an inline citation (from a source within the article that specifically supports it and is now in place). + and interesting hook.
