Overall: @Hey man im josh: Both hooks look pretty interesting, although the source you provided for ALT1 does not mention Forbes explicitly, so that might be a slight issue. I confirm QPQ is not needed in this case. I've seen that you and Actualcpscm improved the article a lot in the last two days, but I'm a bit confused about the 5x expansion criteria: according to the revision history, the count went from just over 25,500 bytes (two days ago) to almost 64,000 bytes (currently)... Did you refer to the prose size, or to the entire page? Oltrepier (talk) 20:20, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, DYK uses prose size, which means that things such as tables are not counted. Prior to expansion, the article contained a single 99-character line of prose. The prose size is now 1662 characters, so the five times expansion criterion has been fulfilled. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM20:56, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oltrepier: I went looking for a better source for the ALT1 hook and discovered that Merkel had actually been named the world's most powerful woman 14 times, not 13. I've added two sources and updated the ALT1 hook to reflect this. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:50, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
