- It is reasonably well written.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (reference section):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
d (copyvio and plagiarism):
- No concerns here.
- a (reference section):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- This is probably owing to source availability more than anything else, but the article feels a little thin. I found some sources that might help, so I'll send them over for review for you. No issues with focus as its a narrow topic. Is it possible also to explain who Michael Chappell is, even briefly? Without context, since he doesn't have his own Wikipedia article to look at, it's not clear why his opposition is significant.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- No concerns.
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No concerns.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

- @Premeditated Chaos: I've done some expansion of the article. Not sure about combining Content and Results, but I've added a bit more prose to each of them. Also tried to explain the role of Chappell in opposition a bit better, by noting that he was a prominent member of a PAC. Not sure if there's a better way to write about him, though, I think the details of his lawsuit should remain in a separate section from the pre-election endorsements.

- Fair enough on keeping the sections separated - I think adding more prose to each helped them look not so nude. Last nitpick - I think it would make more sense to move the bit about same-sex marriage from the first section down to the final section with the rest of it. I noticed you didn't include the stuff about Oregon and other states being inspired to alter their own outdated constitutions after - intentional? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 05:17, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- I think keeping the part about same-sex marriage in the Background section makes sense, given that it was a consideration when the bill was written, not after the amendment was passed (if there was more information on the actual writing of the bill, that's where I'd include it, too).
- As for Oregon, nope, just forgot about that, lemme add it :) Elli (talk | contribs) 06:36, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Premeditated Chaos: I've added it
and now I wanna write another article..., look good? Elli (talk | contribs) 06:56, 21 November 2021 (UTC)- With the new additions I think we're good to go here :) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 18:03, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: Only including the image for ALT2. Feel free to change up the wording here or suggest other ALTs, lots of interesting facts about this amendment imo.

- I'm concerned that, being purely a colour-based infographic, it's not quite accessible.
QPQ: - Feel free to correct me if I'm misjudging, but it doesn't seem like you did a complete review—if the nomination was closed when you put the DYKno symbol, that would have been one thing, but once IAR was invoked and cleared, a full review would be needed to count as a QPQ.
Overall: @Elli: Nice work! I'm approving ALTs 0 and 1, with a preference for ALT0—ALT2 is too reliant on the image to be interesting, and the image is not good to go. We'll be good to go once the QPQ situation is cleared up one way or another. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:30, 24 November 2021 (UTC) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:30, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: thanks -- if that doesn't count as QPQ, then I'll use Template:Did you know nominations/Road 96 (video game). ALT0 is perfectly fine with me ofc. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:06, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
