2020 Puerto Rican status referendum

Created by Chipmunkdavis (talk). Self-nominated at 06:24, 3 August 2020 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Query: I've done a little cleanup on the article. What would you think of restyling Template:Tq → a simple yes-or-no question? (Slashes should generally be avoided per MOS:SLASH.) There's a little semantic issue with ALT0. The article and source say one/single simple [yes/no] question, while the hook says a simple yes/no question (without the single/one). This one source does not rule out that previous multiple-question referendums might have had a yes/no question among several questions. To fix this, I would suggest changing simplesingle in the hook. (Which might have been what you intended in the first place.) – Reidgreg (talk) 21:23, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
