Amphitheatrum Johnsonianum

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Amphitheatrum Johnsonianum; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Jengod:Impressively-researched article, but the hook is a little flat. I've suggested something that more directly addresses the content. AGF on paraphrasing and copyright, given the extensive referencing and size of the article. Acroterion (talk) 02:14, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@jengod and Acroterion: Unfortunately, reviewers can't approve the hooks they propose, and it looks like this one falls afoul of WP:DYKFICTION. Could another hook be found? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 04:19, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly I’ve been away from DYK for too long. I guess I’ll need to withdraw my approval, and if I suggest another hook, to recuse. Acroterion (talk) 04:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. Here are three options; let me know if you want others or need citation elaboration theleekycauldron; I think I like alt4 best, then alt2 and alt3, but whatever works for you guys is fine w me :

  • ALT4 ... that Andrew Johnson, a self-proclaimed plebeian, is crowned emperor in Thomas Nast's Amphitheatrum Johnsonianum?
    • source: Browne, Stephen Howard (2008). "Andrew Johnson and the Politics of Character". In Medhurst, Martin J. (ed.). Before the Rhetorical Presidency. Presidential Rhetoric Series (No. 19). College Station: Texas A&M University Press. pp. 194–212. for transcript of inaugural address, I can get other cites for plebeian if need be
