~~... that Claudia Riner denies all allegations of distributing lesbian erotica in the Kentucky House of Representatives?~~
- ALT0a: ... that Claudia Riner was falsely accused of distributing lesbian erotica in the Kentucky House of Representatives?
- Reviewed: The Anthropocene Reviewed
- Comment: ~~Claudia V in my series of claudias.~~ (actually... I don't like her very much.) this might be the longest initial draft I've ever submitted to DYK, but there was quite a bit of information there at once. I happen to strongly dislike this woman, so if the reviewer could give it an extra-close neutrality scrub, that'd be appreciated :)

No other comment on the article or the nomination, but I feel that the hook may be a BLP violation. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:23, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Narutolovehinata5: ah, i see. given that she didn't do it, how do you feel about ALT0a? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 03:33, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  ALT0a is better, but I'd leave the review to another editor. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:37, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the article is now a GA, too! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 07:20, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
New enough, long enough, looks to be reasonably within policy, although the "persecution of Christians" in China is sourced only to Riner stating that; try to make that more precise so it isn't claimed in wikivoice. General sourcing is very newspaper-heavy but the article still reads neutral. ALT0a is fine (reasonable paraphrase of the sourced statement in the article), QPQ has been done. —Kusma (talk) 09:25, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
theleekycauldron: Ping! Please see the note on China and wikivoice above. —Kusma (talk) 19:01, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- thanks for the review, Kusma! I threw in a "perceived". theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 19:29, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Prose

between 1978 and 1981 from the 36th district. — "from 1978 to 1981 representing the 36th district."
Riner was characterized as a polarizing figure — by whom? Better may be "widely characterized", if multiple sources agree.
She married — At the start of every paragraph, you'll have to replace pronouns like "She", "her", with "Riner". In this case, "Caludia" would be better to avoid and confusion between she and her husband.
for the Democratic Party — Link Democratic Party (United States)
Link The Lexington Herald
In 1980, The Lexington Herald wrote that — Optional comment: Newspaper's don't write, correspondent do! Same with "The Courier-Journal remarked that"
she felt the Democratic Party — "she felt that the Democratic Party"
"the special session did not allow enough time for an intensive study... We are asking the legislators to take another chance to look at it" — Add (#1) {{Nbsp}} before the ellipsis (#2) citation directly after the quote.
in the 36th district — "from the 36th district"
with 52 percent of the vote, or 73 votes — specify that 73 votes is the margin of victory.
n the anti-abortion movement — Maybe link United States anti-abortion movement
against William F. Payne — don't repeat the name, just mention the last-name.
In her very first days in office — "initial days"?
by the Supreme Court of the United States — do we need to mention "United States"?
- Yeah, 'cause it was upheld by the Kentucky Supreme Court... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 01:46, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
in a 5-4 committee vote — should be an en-dash
- Shame on me, I usually love en dashes over hyphens theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 01:46, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"I feel like I have been elected... we ran as a team — Add {{Nbsp}} before the ellipsis
he would sit in her chair when the House was not in session — Well, that is funny!
The Lexington Herald v. the Lexington Herald — Consistency needed
Gore was running for president, Lieberman for vice president. — Can link Al and Joe
what he saw as President Bill Clinton's "immoral behavior". — Clinton–Lewinsky scandal? Might need to ellaborate if the source allows
- Annoyingly enough, the source doesn't mention the scandal, so said "immoral behavior" could be that time he willingly ate broccoli. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 01:46, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
