• @Gerda Arendt: This was created on June 28, more than two months ago. Am I missing something? — Maile (talk) 22:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

I created it in a sandbox and moved it to mainspace on September 6. DYKRULES 1(c). See here.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:42, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank You! for that link. We've been having some Toolforge lags of a week or two, so things that happen along those lines don't show up for long periods. — Maile (talk) 23:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

No trouble. Long time no see. Hope you're doing well.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:08, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

• I would suggest:

• ALT1 ... that the 1789 election in Virginia's 5th district is the only congressional race in which two future U.S. presidents opposed each other? Source: DeRose, Chris (2011).

Wehwalt all we need is a QPQ. Everything else is fine. You haven't asked for a specific date, but this would be a nifty article to run on September 17, Constitution Day (United States). Things we Americans should be grateful for - Patrick Henry didn't succeed on his tax-supported national religion idea. — Maile (talk) 00:38, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

OK, if Gerda doesn't have one ready, I'll do one tomorrow (Sunday).--Wehwalt (talk) 01:05, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Waking up: I will do a qpq next. I prefer the original hook as more concise, and it's so unusual that I don't think we need to spend extra words on saying that it remained the only such case. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:09, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

— Maile , thank you for the review. I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Phyllium bilobatum. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:32, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

I think it might be worth including the uniqueness of this race, but won't push the point. Thank you, Gerda, for your help.--Wehwalt (talk) 08:42, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Noting that article creator prefers ALT1, and nominator prefers original hook. — Maile (talk) 10:17, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Is this right?

Tim McGrath (born 7 October 1970) is a "former Australian rules footballer for the North Melbourne Football Club from 1989 to 1991, and the Geelong Football Club from 1992 to 2002, in the Australian Football League (AFL), which was known as the Victorian Football League (VFL) when McGrath made his debut for North Melbourne in 1989", and he published a James Monroe: A Life this year?--Jarodalien (talk) 01:28, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Obviously not the same person. Un-linked.--Wehwalt (talk) 05:12, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
