Hi Phylsph7. Thank you for your work on the Logical reasoning wiki. I have completed the initial review. I've put it on hold because of a copyright question-mark concerning the Versailles propaganda poster. More details in the comments on 6b. All else was a pass. Please correct or update the image. The caption was good and relevant and I would hate to see you not add any image to your "As a skill" section over a copyright concern especially when propaganda examples are easy to access. Case in point, the top item in the "Did you know..." section for 18 April 2023 is an example of propaganda you could use. That wiki in fact discusses the logical merits of that British recruitment poster and would be a good example to use in the stead of the Versailles poster. Let me know if you have any questions. I will likely update the review within 24 hours of your corrections. Non-pegasus (talk) 00:07, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Non-pegasus and thanks for your review! I'm glad that you caught the recently flagged copyright problem for the image of the Versailles poster. Your suggestion works fine as an alternative so I replaced the image and slightly modified the text. Please let me know if other issues catch your eye.

I've updated the review, congratulations on your newest Good Article!
A bot will add the good article icon to the article and will remove the nomination from the GA nominations page. This bot should also use GANotice to send you a message that the article has passed. I have added Logical reasoning to the list of "Philosophy" Good articles under the "Philosophy and Religion" section. Well done 🦄 Non-pegasus (talk) 11:12, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Phlsph7 (talk). Nominated by Non-pegasus (talk) at 02:05, 20 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Logical reasoning; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

@BorgQueen: Thanks for pointing this out. I assume, under "Improved to Good Article status by", it should be me, i.e. the one who improved and nominated the article for GA and not the one who reviewed the GA nomination. I'm currently quite busy with other things so I'm fine with Non-pegasus taking care of the DYK nomination. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:26, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BorgQueen: Definitely not trying to step on anyone's </ref>s! I can't locate the notification I received but Wikipedia seemed to automatically recommend the DYK nomination to me specifically and thought it was a fun idea, not even considering that I could have let the writer do it. I'll be sure to mention the original GA nominator if its a rule and I come across it again. Cheers 🦄 Non-pegasus (talk) 23:17, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I've changed the attribution for the improvement and the nomination. As for the hook, I think it's interesting for someone familiar with the topic but it could be confusing for the uninitiated, see WP:EASTEREGG. More conventional alternatives would be:
But my experience with DYK is still rather limited so it might be good if someone else could weigh in on this. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:31, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the feathers—light—darkness hook will make a great quirky hook. @Bruxton and Theleekycauldron: What do you think? BorgQueen (talk) 08:35, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Mandarax: you're welcome to comment, too. BorgQueen (talk) 08:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The feather hook It is in the article with a reference - citation #109. It is the only quirky hook in this three proposed. The other two hooks will not be as interesting and are academic and factual. I guess to illustrate the definition of the term ALT0 is best. This might make a good quirky hook.(?) Bruxton (talk) 13:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I wasn't aware of quirky-hook-guideline for the last slot. I agree, the feather-hook is the best candidate for it. Phlsph7 (talk) 14:18, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.
Overall: Approve ALT0. BorgQueen (talk) 19:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Phlsph7 In what application were you testing the preview? In my case (Telegram), the SVG is shown. Yes the current wiki source code is hacky, but it works :) PhotographyEdits (talk) 17:58, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@PhotographyEdits: I was referring to the regular preview function on the desktop version when hovering over a wikilink or in the search results. I saw you added the template "CSS image crop". It seems this solved the problem. Thanks for figuring it out! Phlsph7 (talk) 18:21, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Phlsph7 Ah I see! You're welcome. I wish there was some real feature to make it hidden except for the preview, but I haven't been able to find it. PhotographyEdits (talk) 18:48, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
