- Comment: Okay with any hook preference for ALT0 or ALT1
Created by Mazasp (talk) and ~riley (talk). Nominated by ~riley (talk) at 04:39, 26 December 2019 (UTC).
New enough (moved to mainspace 25 December) and long enough. No copyvio issues. Overall neutral, though the outreach portion is only bordering on neutral, would prefer to see it rewritten slightly. I did some copy editing to make the research part a bit clearer, but this part could also be improved (e.g. the 2015 study seems a bit random, could be put into the overall story). However, none of these issues are serious enough to reject. QPQ has been done. I prefer ALT1, but would rephrase it so it's a bit more catchy, let me know what you think!

- ALT1a: ... that Rebeccah Slater led a study which showed that babies not only experience pain but may be more sensitive to it than adults?
- In regards to ALT1a,
there is no evidence (to my knowledge) to suggest that Rebeccah led the study. She was the media point contact, but one of many doctors involved in the study. ~riley (talk) 20:42, 27 December 2019 (UTC)- You are correct, Rebeccah did lead the study. It is not referenced in the study, however, the The Guardian article states "Rebeccah Slater, a doctor at Oxford’s paediatrics department who led the study". I support ALT1a and have stricken ALT1 accordingly, I have preference for ALT1a. Comments above regarding the outreach portion noted, will reserve some time later to improve the section before this DYK makes its way into the queue. I believe this is good to go in its current state otherwise, Achaea? ~riley (talk) 21:40, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- In regards to ALT1a,
