  •   Query: I've done a little cleanup on the article. What would you think of restyling a simple yes/no question → a simple yes-or-no question? (Slashes should generally be avoided per MOS:SLASH.) There's a little semantic issue with ALT0. The article and source say one/single simple [yes/no] question, while the hook says a simple yes/no question (without the single/one). This one source does not rule out that previous multiple-question referendums might have had a yes/no question among several questions. To fix this, I would suggest changing simplesingle in the hook. (Which might have been what you intended in the first place.) – Reidgreg (talk) 21:23, 12 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the cleanup. Does the following hook work?

ALT0a: ... that the upcoming sixth Puerto Rican status referendum will be the first to ask a single yes-or-no question?

  •   Approve ALT0a, ALT1: Article created the day before nomination, is long enough, neutral, with consistent citations and no copyvio detected. QPQ verified. Hooks are formatted, of good length and interesting, with hook facts cited in article. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:18, 13 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Filibuster discussion

edit

Discussing the filibuster in the Results section looks like WP:UNDUE weight to me, especially as it's rather tangential to the referendum. I think it should be emphasized instead that a statehood bill has passage requirements no higher than any other bill. After all, the president still needs to give their signature (barring a veto override).--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:48, 6 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
