Overall: This nom looks good, there's just a few small issues. Each paragraph should end with a citation, which should be an easy fix. The page was still categorized as a stub, but that's just because its status hasn't been updated after expansion so I fixed that. The hook is too long, at 207 characters, we could tweak one or two words to make it shorter, let me know how you feel about ALT0b. Otherwise the article is new enough, long enough and seems neutral. No copyvio and it looks like you've had fewer than 5 dyk credits (let me know if that's wrong though). As a side note, the link to the dyk article should always be bolded in the hook.

Hi. The hook is good as proposed. I fixed the references too. Please check if everything is alright now. I believe I should have 8 DYK credits until now. Thank you very much. Grandmaster 17:51, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Grandmaster: It all looks good now, nice job fixing those! Since you have over 5 dyk credits, you have to do wp:qpq, that just means reviewing another dyk nom and linking it here. Once that's done, this nom will be ready to go. BuySomeApples (talk) 18:00, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BuySomeApples: Thanks a lot. Sorry, I haven't used this system before. How do I review another nom? The link opens an empty box. Grandmaster 18:03, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, I got it. There is a problem with the red link, but I found it. Thanks. Grandmaster 18:12, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work @Grandmaster: this nom's ready! BuySomeApples (talk) 03:52, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! I think qpq needs to be changed from NA to something else? Grandmaster 09:42, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question:Grandmaster is under an Armenia-Azerbaijan 2 topic ban per: this report. Does that affect Armenia or Azerbaijan related DYK nominations? TSventon (talk) 14:13, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I discussed this with the enforcing admin: [1] My understanding is that this nomination is not affected, because it was made before the tban, and it has only tangential relation to AA2 topic. However, you may wish to seek clarification as well. Thank you. Grandmaster 16:00, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
TSventon, confirming that it's ok to let Grandmaster follow through on this DYK nomination as long as it doesn't involve anything more than trivial edits to article content related to Armenia or Azerbaijan. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 18:40, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Rosguill, I just wanted to raise the question and had not seen the discussion on your talk page. What about the later nomination Template:Did you know nominations/Georgy Dokuchaev? I thought potential reviewers should know if it should be reviewed or not. TSventon (talk) 19:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
