A fact from Steven A. Shaw appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 March 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Steven A. Shaw, one of the first food bloggers, decided to pursue the career that he loved after the early death of his father?

... that Steven A. Shaw was one of the first people to start a food blog? Source: “ Steven A. Shaw, a founder of the influential online culinary discussion forum eGullet and one of the first writers to start his own food blog, died on Tuesday in Manhattan. He was 44.”NY Times
Overall: The article is well sourced and neutral, I don't see any copyvio. The only nitpick I would have is that his death should be mentioned in the body of the article somewhere with a citation. Also, hooks about "firsts" aren't always everyone's favorite choice. Can we rephrase or find a different hook? Something about him stepping away from lawyering and helping to establish the online food writing community after his father died could work. It's in the article's refs like Ottawa Citizen and NOLA, it would just need to be added to the article.BuySomeApples (talk) 01:21, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
@BuySomeApples: Thank you for your review! I nominated the article as time was running out. Your suggested hook subjects are far better than my initial one. His influence on the online food community through his founding of eGullet is immense. I’ll expand the article out more and add an additional hook or two.

I think it's ready @Z1720:, but @Thriley: was going to prepare alt hooks so it wasn't a "first X to Y" hook. If you want to promote ALT0, I think it's good to go.
