You have nominated the wrong article. I suggest you start again. When you do, make sure you use the correct article in the hook. Schwede 66 10:27, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: I'm so sorry, I thought I linked the article in question. Is it possible to reformat the current hook in order to solve this? The name of the nomination is the same of the article. NoonIcarus (talk) 11:24, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given that this nomination page does indeed refer to the correct article, you could just add a new hook (ALT1). At DYK, we don’t reformat hooks as the discussion about the nomination would become messy; we simply add new hooks. I’ve started it for you; just add to it. Schwede 66 17:45, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: Thank you very much. I have striken the old hook and included an alternate one with a new format, linking and bolding to the nominated article. Please let me know if there are any other changes, and my apologies for the inconveniences. NoonIcarus (talk) 22:38, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The substantial issue has been fixed and this can now go to review (not my area of interest, so I shall pass). I suggest the the "article expansion" tag is a problem, though. It's a maintenance tag and as far as I know, we don't run articles with maintenance tags. Schwede 66 23:19, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Profanated" is not a word - "profaned" is. Johnbod (talk) 16:27, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnbod: My apologies. I have striken the typo and fixed the word. I hope that the MoS of the nominations allow this. NoonIcarus (talk) 20:26, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thks - I just substituted the correct word (although possibly other ones are better), which is usual here. To be clear, I was just commenting, not starting a review. Johnbod (talk) 21:37, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Full review still needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:44, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and the article is neutral. I detected some close paraphrasing and rewrote several sentences. A QPQ has been done, so this is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:31, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
