@GeorgeBailey: Not a full review (yet), just a response to your question. Yes, you can look into the page history of this nomination to see who put the ALT1, it was added in this edit. Epicgenius (talk) 14:58, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New enough and long enough. QPQ not needed (2 credits). I've done some copyediting to sourcing. It's unusual that a paragraph not ending in an inline citation is OK at DYK, but the fact the Bush won the Republican presidential primary and general election is common enough knowledge that I don't think it's necessary. Hooks check out. One suggestion I will make, GeorgeBailey is to find another source that's not the History Channel, which is considered generally unreliable (see WP:RSP). It looks like that citation can be replaced with one to the Orlando Sentinel article, per its contents. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:27, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I an not sure about ALT1; we cannot comprehensively say who were the "black women" to run for president. For instance, why are those three women mentioned, but not Charlene Mitchell, who ran in 1968 as a Communist candidate? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 05:24, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Modified ALT0 to T:DYK/P4

Was she really a running for president?

The U.S. constitution requires that the president be at least 35 years old. So she was too young to become president in January of 2001. Was she really running for president?

Also I can't see any entry on Ballotpedia, did she enter any primaries or caucuses? I think she just formed a committee and did some straw polls. 109.76.34.13 (talk) 11:15, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
