Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Improved to Good Article status by Some Dude From North Carolina (talk). Self-nominated at 16:46, 2 January 2021 (UTC).
Substantial article, meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. This is nominator's forth DYK, so they are QPQ exempt. Approved for ALT1 and ALT3 as the most interesting hooks; ALT0 is a bit MOS:WEASEL, and ALT2 doesn't seem especially compelling or interesting. Editor who promotes the hook could potentially use File:Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, official portrait, 116th Congress.jpg as an image, but it's not necessary. Morgan695 (talk)
- @Morgan695: My opinion won't matter either way but I'm just saying this from a semi-frequent DYK contributor perspective: ALT1 would've been a hook when the article was first created^ but now it's like saying Barack Obama is the first black president of the United States, it's an afterthought to their careers by now and the novelty kinda wore off. ALT3 is more interesting or maybe there should be an ALT about how the media noticed Wikipedia ^didn't have an article about Ocasio-Cortez until after she won her primary in 2018. (This is a more in-depth look into that subject of women politicians not getting Wikipedia articles and the gender bias. The hook is actually right there in the sentence that mentions her.) It's meta, but in a good way. Just my $0.02 Trillfendi (talk) 15:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Trillfendi: You're hook is so meta and cool that I would be crazy not to include it. That being said, it has been added. Some Dude From North Carolinawanna talk? 17:51, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this. ALT3 is over 200 characters (without the "(pictured)"). ALT4 is not approved. Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- ALT4 looks good. An option for a rephrased ALT3 is below, but I think ALT4 is the strongest of the bunch. Morgan695 (talk) 23:25, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- ALT3a:... that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (pictured) hosted a Twitch stream to play the game Among Us with fellow congresswoman Ilhan Omar and streamers Pokimane, DrLupo, Jacksepticeye, and others? [7][8] Morgan695 (talk) 23:25, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- ALT3b:... that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (pictured) hosted a Twitch stream to play the game Among Us with fellow congresswoman Ilhan Omar along with streamers such as Pokimane, DrLupo, and Jacksepticeye? [9][10]
