• I shall review this. Storye book (talk) 12:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thank you for this interesting window into Liechtenstein's politics. I prefer ALT2, because It is the only one of the three hooks which can be understood instantly by international readers, without clicking on the political link. However, I'm not going to strike any hooks, because technically they are fine.

• I have given the article a minor copyedit. That does not affect this review.
• Hook citations are taken in good faith (AGF) because the sources have paywalls, and I don't speak the language, anyway.
• ALT0 needs to mention Liechtenstein, If you can clarify ALT0 to say that it's about Liechtenstein, then this hook will be good to go. Storye book (talk) 13:21, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Tenses in biographies of living people

@TheBritinator: Please note that on WP we do not use the present tense for people's actions, in biographies. This is because we cannot guarantee that an article will be constantly updated, so that, for example, by the following year that present tense may well be out of date. That is the reason for the edit, "as of 2024 he was". Please do not revert that kind of edit. Storye book (talk) 10:02, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I do in fact intend on updating this article. TheBritinator (talk) 10:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

That is not the point. We all intend on updating the articles that we created. But WP house style requires that events are recorded in the past tense, because WP cannot rely on all of us remembering to update promptly all of the time. Our audience is reading our articles when we are on holiday and when we are sleeping. It's not about you personally, it's about the principle. See: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Chronological items, and Template:As of. Storye book (talk) 11:46, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Understood. TheBritinator (talk) 12:59, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
