General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - Last sentence of the article needs to be sourced.
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: No - The paragraph beginning "Republican House members refused to condemn the video" is word-for-word from this source, though the source in question hasn't been archived by the Wayback Machine, so I can't check who copied who.
  • Other problems: No - A few minor things here: (1) "Ocasio Cortez" in the lead needs a hyphen; (2) Ted Lieu's tweet needs an end quote and a citation; (3) Refs 4 and 7 are not formatted correctly and have error messages; (3) "223-to-207 vote" works better as "223–207 vote" per MOS:ENBETWEEN and MOS:NUMNOTES; (4) Gosar quote in the lead should also be added to the body of the article
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article is new and long enough. There is a potential copy-paste issue and some minor copyedits and cleanup to do, as well as some minor referencing fixes. No QPQ is required as the nominator has 0 DYK credits. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 04:32, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

@Fakescientist8000: I think the title of this article needs some modification: first, AOC's surname is "Ocasio-Cortez", not simply "Cortez"; and second, there should be an en dash between her surname and Gosar (MOS:ENBETWEEN). This however would produce the rather unwieldy "Gosar–Ocasio-Cortez". Would there be another way of titling this article? One suggestion is "Paul Gosar Twitter video incident" (omitting the year, which is standard if this is the only event fitting this description). What do you think? — RAVENPVFF · talk · 09:56, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ravenpuff I think that your suggestion is incredibly helpful, and I will move this page in order to fix any issues regarding its title. Cheers! Fakescientist8000 10:38, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing sentence[edit]

In the last paragraph: Twitter, while placing a notice on the tweet stating that it violated the Twitter Rules, it would be in the best interest of the public for it to remain up." (solitary double-quotes sic) It seems like some material has been deleted from this sentence but, scanning article history, I don't see where this has happened or what the last part of the sentence is supposed to say.

It might have been a direct quote, but had since paraphrased. End quote now removed. —Bagumba (talk) 11:45, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
