~~:* ALT1... that Catherine Belton's book Putin's People prompted four Russian billionaires and state-owned oil firm Rosneft to sue her publisher? Cowlibob (talk) 15:11, 25 May 2021 (UTC~~

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Other problems:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - Hooks need sources.
Interesting:
Other problems: - ALT1 is basically the same things as the first hook. I'm fine with using one or the other, but you should come up with a more original second hook.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:46, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for reviewing. Please ignore ALT1 - added by someone else; the hook is sourced - see refs in article FunkyCanute (talk) 08:36, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I've struck ALT1, changed status. Good to go. Unsolicited tips for next time: include refs in DYK nom and suggest two different hooks. Best,Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:02, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a great ref though, so I won't modify the article. Ef80 (talk) 14:38, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
