• @ProfGray: @ThadeusOfNazereth: Good DYK nom and topic. Article meets new, length, policy, and hook format requirements. ALT0 is good to go. My only query here is the hook for ALT1 (which I actually would lean toward being used on the DYK section, since it presents the topic more broadly). The article and its sourcing write "particularly susceptible" but the hook reads as "more susceptible". I'm probably just being too meticulous or persnickety, but I think it'd be better if the hook was consistent with the wording used in the article and its sourcing. Really good work and nom though, ready to check it off for the section once that gets cleared up. Soulbust (talk) 14:35, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
  • Good question. I'm not sure the meanings differ much, but erring on side of caution, I'd suggest "particularly" because some readers might see "more" as implying that all (or more) sources are doing quantitative comparative analysis, whereas they all do point to problems or outcomes particular to transgender persons. My two cents. ProfGray (talk) 14:48, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I'm thinking that too. I agree, they mean more or less the same thing to me, but would also opt to err on side of caution. Checking this off as approved with the understanding that promoter or nominator will tweak the hook to read "particularly" as per above. Soulbust (talk) 14:57, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
      • Hi, @Soulbust: where does this stand in the DYK process now? I didn't see it in the pending list. Thanks for your work on it. ProfGray (talk) 13:19, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
        • @ProfGray: It looks like it's been moved to the Approved list. From there, it'll be moved to the Preps & Queues list. But the time it takes to go from Approved to the Preps & Queues is just up to the promoter. Shouldn't take longer than a week or two though, from past experience. And no problem! Good work on the hook :) Soulbust (talk) 20:16, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
