ALT 1:... that Prince William reportedly used the name "Steve" while studying at the University of St Andrews to avoid attracting attention from the media?
Improved to Good Article status by MSincccc ( talk). Self-nominated at 16:09, 14 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/William, Prince of Wales; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is evidently long enough and well written/sourced. It has recently been promoted to GA status. I'll trust that PQP isn't required yet for the nominator. Both hooks are interesting, though I have problems with both of them: the first (1st born in hospital) does not seem to be cited or mentioned in the article and surely, if this hook was to progress, it should say "heir to the British throne" or similar? The second hook (called himself "Steve") has a citation, but only to the homepage of the Herald Scotland, so without a full url, or page number, or access date, surely this citation isn't complete? I'd suggest the word "reportedly" is added to the hook if this one goes forward. Finally, the article has some issues which are being addressed on the Talk page, with reverts and heavy editing of the lede introduction. We might need to wait for this to be resolved before progressing the nomination.

DYK good to go with ALT1 hook. Citation query has been resolved. There's no great reason to further amend the hook because
Prince William is blue linked.

I recently found a new image of the Prince of Wales on Commons which is of a high quality as it focuses on the Prince, despite the people in the background. It was uploaded on Commons by @ Robin S. Taylor:. I look forward to hearing from the community on whether it should remain or not. Pinging @ DrKay:, @ Keivan.f:, @ Nikkimaria:. I believe these users can help us resolve the issue effectively. Regards. MSincccc ( talk) 18:51, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
The close-up of William's face is an extract from a larger photograph of the D-Day commemorations, which was already given that free-licence tag. I merely copied the tag to the cropped version. Robin S. Taylor ( talk) 09:39, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
