Overall: 
Thank you for this article, and for your great care in keeping it neutral at this time. I would guess that any hook on this subject would be very hooky in the world context of current elections. Right now, ALT0 is topical, while remaining safely neutral, and I would recommend that you stay with that hook. I have looked at most of the article's citations and they are OK. Earwig shows no copyvio - it only found your long quotation, which is fine. The hook citation checks out. One minor issue: The image is fine, but the caption is longer than the norm for the DYK section on the main page. This does not affect your DYK nomination status, but I would recommend shortening it yourself, otherwise an administrator may do it for you. I don't think you need to mention the mirroring of the Bundestag seating plan in the image caption here because that is explained clearly in the article. The QPQ is done. Re your question about improving the article title - I think the existing title is fine, because its meaning is clear; for example in the hook ALT0 it indicates clearly the meaning of the image. The only possible grounds for changing the title, in my opinion, would be if it were established that lots of authoritative sources were consistently giving this type of chart another official name - and I have not yet seen that. I believe this nomination is good to go. Storye book (talk) 13:47, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
