:The hook stands on its own, is properly sourced and is the best hook of the article. If {{u|Maile66}} hadn't been making blatant bad faith assumptions about my motives and had taken a look at my recent editing history in systematically creating new articles for state legislators, perhaps the DYKNOT accusation would have been eliminated and the DYK nomination might have been evaluated on its merits, rather than on one editor's preconceptions. Wikipedia isn't supposed to be censored, but I'm willing to wait until November 9, if necessary, to deal with these bad faith allegations.

  • Symbol confirmed.svg New enough and long enough, inline citations and references checks, factual and interesting hooks, close paraphrasing and neutrality is checked as well and approved. Good work, well done! This one is good to go.BabbaQ (talk) 19:43, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

The hook stands on its own, is properly sourced and is the best hook of the article. If Template:U hadn't been making blatant bad faith assumptions about my motives and had taken a look at my recent editing history in systematically creating new articles for state legislators, perhaps the DYKNOT accusation would have been eliminated and the DYK nomination might have been evaluated on its merits, rather than on one editor's preconceptions. Wikipedia isn't supposed to be censored, but I'm willing to wait until November 9, if necessary, to deal with these bad faith allegations. Alansohn (talk) 15:35, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
