Created by FuzzyMagma (talk). Self-nominated at 10:13, 11 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Luigi Adwok; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

- @FuzzyMagma: Article meets eligibility and length requirements for DYK. QPQ met. No issues with the picture. I went through and copyedited and rewrote parts of the article that were close to WP:CLOP and not written in an encyclopedic tone. The paragraph in the article associated with the DYK hook needs work. It should be incorporated into the article better, written in encyclopedic tone and style, and reads like a copy-paste of the source. Fixed the hook.
- @Longhornsg: thanks for copy editing the article. I have fixed the DYK paragraph in the article. FuzzyMagma (talk) 07:50, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. I still don't understand. Was the protest over the language or over shortages of books? Unclear as written. Longhornsg (talk) 00:30, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- they are not linked. The agreement came after which I now removed and reworded that section FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:05, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

- @Narutolovehinata5: thanks for the reminder. Looks good to me, but I had changed the hook in my initial review, so I think another editor should take a look as well. Longhornsg (talk) 01:58, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
I find it odd that a hook focuses on someone other than the subject of the nominated article, especially someone apparently so unimportant that he/she is not even named in the hook or the article. Surtsicna (talk) 18:56, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- sadly I agree, can I withdraw the nom? Sorry for that but I cannot think of anything interesting and this have been dragging for ages with no sign of finding a good hook. Thanks everyone for trying FuzzyMagma (talk) 19:28, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
