Created by Almostds (talk). Self-nominated at 15:37, 25 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Clement Ligoure; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @Almostds: Regarding the hook, I like ALT0 and the fact that the blast victims were treated at his home, but "home" needs to be added to the sentence in our article to adhere to WP:DYKCRIT#3b. For ALT1 I like to avoid the dreaded "first" hooks so I pass on this hook. The article is new enough and at 3740 characters it is long enough. The image is clear and is in the public domain so it is free. The article has the correct inline citations and appears to be free of copyright concerns. This is the nominator's third DYK so no QPQ is needed. The article is presently an orphan (not a DYK fail) but I encourage the nominator to find connections to other articles. The article is neutral. So just a fix to adhere to 3b. Good work! Bruxton (talk) 19:22, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Bruxton: Thanks for reviewing! I've added the "home" fact to a sentence in the lead. I also ensured this fact is reflected in the same source -- which it is, in the caption of the video near the top of the news article. As for it being an orphan page, I've linked it to List of people from Nova Scotia (it appears to be an appropriate addition as the list is not limited to people born in the province, but also people who "have spent a large part or formative part of their career in that province)." Also agree that ALT0 is more interesting. Thanks again everyone! (Update: also found another place to add link elsewhere in Wikipedia, List of Queen's University people. Thanks again for the helpful direction!)
