Converted from a redirect by ElectionWiz (talk). Nominated by Feminist (talk) at 06:09, 2 August 2022 (UTC).
Welcome to DYK, ElectionWiz! New enough and long enough. QPQ present. I have two possible concerns for you and Feminist to address.
- Two entire paragraphs depend on summarizing Wasserman's Cook bio. These sections lift too many words in a row (some of which, however, are titles or names of organizations which are permissible and unavoidable). See [1]. Is there anything to break this up a bit? This really needs to be addressed.
- I adore ALT0...but I fear that, for some of our readers outside the United States, this quirky is about as interesting as cricket results are to me, so I'm leaving some possible options here.
- ALT1: ... that Dave Wasserman helped correctly predict the partisan swing in the 2006 United States House of Representatives elections?
- ALT2: ... that a 2016 article by Dave Wasserman foreshadowed the split between the Electoral College and popular vote two months before the 2016 U.S. presidential election?
- The close paraphrasing/copyvio issue must be fixed before I can really contemplate this nomination much further. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:43, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
@Sammi Brie: Thanks for the review and the hooks! I've broken up the words a bit. A new reviewer may be needed for your hooks. feminist (talk) 03:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

- @Evrik: Was waiting for a new reviewer to come along in re: ALT1/ALT2. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:40, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie:, I approve Both Alt 1 and Alt 2, though I prefer Alt 2. Actually, Alt 2 could probably be tightened up a litlle, but I still approve them both. I leave it to you to make the final approval. --evrik (talk) 19:44, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
I believe things are in sufficient shape to approve. Any hook is eligible per promoter's discretion, esp. ALT0 and ALT2. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:14, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
