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

• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Other problems: - The quote suffers the earlier issue with WP:INTEXT, and might come off as MOS:SCAREQUOTES.

@Bagumba: I fixed the article. ALT0a: ... that reporter O. Kay Henderson, who has interviewed presidential candidates, is considered by national United States media to be an Iowa political authority? SL93 (talk) 16:45, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

@Bagumba: Can you let me know if you're returning to this, since you've been editing, or let someone else take over? SL93 (talk) 22:56, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

@SL93: I'll get to it in a few days, at the latest. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 23:55, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

@Bagumba: That's fine. Just thought I would ask because I have seen editors cut off communication at DYK. SL93 (talk) 00:03, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

@SL93: The quote issue is resolved. For the hook, I missed mentioning before that the page needs to be updated to more explicitly say that she interviewed presidential candidates. It would also be less ambiguous if the hook referred to the U.S. earlier, together with the "presidential candidates", and perhaps plain "national media" would then be ok.—Bagumba (talk) 15:56, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

@Bagumba: I'm not sure what you mean by "It would also be less ambiguous if the hook referred to the U.S. earlier, together with the "presidential candidates". SL93 (talk) 21:58, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

SL93: When a reader comes across "who has interviewed presidential candidates", it's initially unclear which country is being referred to. Therefore, I was suggesting something like "who has interviewed U.S. presidential candidates".—Bagumba (talk) 22:29, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

@Bagumba: I fixed the article and added an infobox. ALT0b: .. that reporter O. Kay Henderson, who has interviewed U.S. presidential candidates, is considered by national media to be an Iowa political authority? SL93 (talk) 22:35, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
