• Review in progress ☆ Bri (talk) 05:28, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Struck "reviewed" page. I thought commenting = reviewing but i guess not! Sorry. Jytdog (talk) 05:39, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• We might have some neutrality problems with ALT1. For instance, "critically ill" and patients "with the poorest prognosis" were used in the ABC source provided, not "desperate". Also "alleged fraudsters" in the ABC headline, not flat-out "fraudulent". I'd go so far as to say "untested stem-cell therapies on people with incurable diseases". Could you propose an ALT2 that addresses this? ☆ Bri (talk) 14:53, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• ALT2... that Advanced Cell Therapeutics sold unproven stem cell therapy to people with incurable conditions starting in 2002, and that its CEO fled the US and is on the FDA's Most Wanted list? Source: source, source)

Am saying "conditions" as spinal cord injury isn't a disease, really... Jytdog (talk) 15:04, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• Possible ALT3 ... that the CEO of Advanced Cell Therapeutics is on the FDA's Most Wanted List after selling unproven stem cell therapy to people with incurable conditions?

Struck out original hook and ALT2. Am willing to sign off on ALT3 as neutral and fully sourced. Also I find moving "most wanted list" to the front to increase interest of the item. Until I saw this nomination, I didn't know there existed an FDA Most Wanted List. Jytdog, do you like this hook? ☆ Bri (talk) 19:03, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

That is a very fine hook! I have had real world stuff today; will get my other review done this evening. Jytdog (talk) 21:11, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

btw, I didn't know the FDA had a most wanted list either, before I worked on that. :) very hooky! Thanks for creating the page on it, Natureium! Jytdog (talk) 05:02, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

• I did a first pass review, Template:Did you know nominations/Sven (Frozen)... not sure if I did that right. Jytdog (talk) 05:00, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
  • User:Bri just checking; does the first pass review I did "count" or do I need to work all the way through it? I am not in any hurry but don't know what is correct and don't want to be stallig things in my ignorance. Jytdog (talk) 05:47, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
    • OK, Template:Did you know nominations/Sven (Frozen) has gone all the way through. I am not sure I had to do that anyway, as i have had less than 5 DYKs but whatever! Jytdog (talk) 23:06, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
• Template:Ping As a formality, please add the citation that backs the hook in ALT3 using Source: xxxx. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:21, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping 18px Done, thanks. Jytdog (talk) 18:53, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
    • ALT3 hook citations confirmed, I am marking this passed. Sorry about the delay. ☆ Bri (talk) 21:51, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
