- ALT1: ... that Gregg Rickman led a three-year investigation by the U.S. Senate into the disposition of assets of Holocaust victims held by Swiss banks after World War II, resulting in a $1.25 billion settlement? Source: https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/bio/75392.htm

Created by Longhornsg (talk). Self-nominated at 21:41, 13 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gregg Rickman; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

I'll review this. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 00:51, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - A ton of sourcing issues; I've added citation needed tags.
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - There's a ton of plagiarism and close paraphrasing from the State department website; additionally, ALT1 is closely paraphrased from the State Department source.

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - ALT0 needs citation, as the source doesn't explicitly state he was the first envoy. ALT1 is cited.
Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: See above; I think ALT1 is really interesting and a good hook, but needs to be changed so it's not paraphrasing and the article just needs a cleanup. Best of luck! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) 01:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
