  • Reviewed: I believe I am exempt, as I don't currently have a DYK.
  • Comment: The quoted language in alt1 is so comically sexist and archaic that I thought readers would find it funny, but I completely understand if reviewers think it's inappropriate. Alt1 is intended to be more neutral.

  • New article of sufficient length, nominated promptly, and the article is within policy. I favor ALT1 - the one mentioning Queen's University. The first two hooks have suitable references. The third would need substantiation which is not itself synthesis within the article. I have struck through ALT2 for this reason alone, and if the issue is fixed, I would also consider that one. I think the editor is exempt from QPQ, but they have made quite a few nominations of late - I didn't find a convenient way to identify whether 5 have been accepted. -- ke4roh ( talk) 18:55, 22 July 2020 (UTC) reply
