  • ... that Marianne Williamson (pictured), "Oprah's spiritual adviser", is running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020? Source: Kaji, Mina (February 20, 2019).

Retrieved March 1, 2019. – "Author, spiritual teacher and Oprah Winfrey confidant Marianne Williamson formally announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president in Los Angeles on Jan. 28."

  • Comment: I personally think the main hook on its own is already interesting, since it's probably news to a lot of people, but I also find both alt hooks interesting – perhaps with a slight preference for alt1 over alt2.

  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues (though the "Policies" section is highlighted by Earwig, I think the other site has copied Wikipedia). The image does not appear in the article and is therefore ineligible for use. Approving ALT0 and ALT2, but not ALT1 because a "first" type claim is always a bit risky. A QPQ has been done.

  • Bumping this to indicate my preference for changing "black Americans" to "slavery" in ALT2 to more closely match the source content. Mélencron (talk) 19:20, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
