Improved to Good Article status by Hog Farm (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 21:44, 12 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/1824 United States presidential election in Missouri; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

@Hog Farm and Onegreatjoke: Recent GA qualifies. Earwig does not alert. Article has the correct inline citations and is neutral. The QPQ is done. I did not think the hook was good, perhaps one that reads better. Bruxton (talk) 02:47, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Hmm... what about
ALT1: ... that the 1824 US presidential election in Missouri was not decided by the electoral college, but by Missouri representative John Scott? Wracking ^💬 19:25, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Wracking:, will see what @Hog Farm and Onegreatjoke: think. Bruxton (talk) 00:39, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

That could work Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:40, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that's better. I didn't think the original hook was very good, but hadn't thought of a better one yet. Hog Farm _Talk 01:05, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
