Will get to the review very soon...but ive taken it onNewness adds up, length is fine. Sourcing is good too. The hook is alright, but i think a more interesting alternative could be suggested. Otherwise i think it just needs a copyedit to pass.Lihaas (talk) 14:06, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Suggesting ALT1 as more interesting. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 22:06, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- ALT1... that the attempted impeachment of Argentine Vice President Amado Boudou (pictured) was the result of Boudougate?
- Nice, but less include the name itself as more intriguing?Lihaas (talk) 22:50, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- Agreed, I changed it. It adds intrigue. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 22:52, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

- As mentioned above, this looks good. The sources are all in Spanish, but they look legit, and appear to back-up the content. If someone more familiar wants to take a look, have at it. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 01:19, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
The original reviewer, Lihaas, asserts that a copyedit of the article is necessary. Also, people who suggest hooks are not allowed also to pass them. I've proposed a new ALT2 to bring the article name to the front. Lihaas is still free to review both ALT hooks. Also added (pictured) to the hooks except for the original, which has been struck since it didn't use "Boudougate":
- ALT2... that Boudougate led to the attempted impeachment of Argentine Vice President Amado Boudou (pictured)? —BlueMoonset (talk) 13:51, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- My bad, I didn't realize that I couldn't do both, that makes sense though. Also, ALT2 is probably the best of the hooks. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 21:09, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- We all learn; I did the same thing at one point. Did you mean ALT2 was best? (There is no ALT3 as of now.) BlueMoonset (talk) 21:50, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- I've altered history so that nobody realizes how little sense I made. I will say that I dislike the awkward ALT hook naming system, so that the third hook is #2 and the main hook has no name. It would be better if the template simply preloaded the main hook as HOOK 1. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 21:54, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- The new hook is best according to me. Posted the probs tag on the nom's page so hopefully he get to a copyedit soon.Lihaas (talk) 22:25, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- Done. I added an infobox, updated the references with the template, forced the referenced sections into 2 colums, and expanded a paragraph and section that were too short. Cambalachero (talk) 17:44, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- I found significant problems in the English structure throughout and have done my best to fix the problems, but I am worried that I may have introduced inaccuracies when attempting to clarify the language. Can someone please check to make sure I have not done so (or make any corrections necessary); until this is done, the DYK should not pass, and some additional copyediting would be useful. I'll be putting a couple of queries on the Talk page that should be addressed. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:19, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay. I made the fixes pointed the last time, and I thought that was enough and continued with other things. I will check the talk page, and fix what's needed Cambalachero (talk) 21:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- I see you did do most of the requested fixes (see the talk page for further details), and we're almost there. Please be sure to check my own copyediting to make sure I haven't gone astray, and let me know here when you'd like me to take a look at your upcoming edits. Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 03:16, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- Done Cambalachero (talk) 18:57, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- Looks like everything's covered. I've made a few edits of the new material, which you should check for accuracy. I've asked Lihaas, who asked for the original copyedit, to stop by and check the article now in order to either give it a final tick or ask for some final fixes. With any luck, we'll have this approved and into a prep area before you know it. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:56, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- Better. But coupld of quick obervations. First mention of Alejandro Vandenbroele needs to say who he is. Alll the names thrown out in the lead could be confusing. The Old Fund is the shell corporation of Ciccione?
- That said with only a minor change im going to pass htis. It should have beenon a while ago, but as its still ongoing its pertinent too. Lets go with the alt 2 hook that uses the title Boudougate. Lihaas (talk) 02:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! I moved your tick out to the left margin so people can more easily see it; hope you don't mind. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:58, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
