Graduation date?

I see a few conflicting pieces of info about his graduation date. The Pomona alumni magazine says '99, but a post on their Flickr says 2001 and his LinkedIn says 2000. I'm going with 1999 since the magazine is presumably the most reliable source, but not 100% sure about it. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 06:30, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sdkb, great work on this new article and the hooks - interesting subject, especially about his work in the context of the pandemic. The article is new and long enough, and there seem to be no neutrality or copyright issues. Both hooks meet the requirements, but I personally prefer ALT0. An inline citation for the hook is available. As an aside, could a cover of an older edition possibly be uploaded to use with this hook, since it was published in 1923? This is good to go either way.

@Aranya: Thanks for the thorough review, and for suggesting the visual idea! Looking into it, unfortuntely I don't see a copy of Etiquette on Commons, and I'm not exactly sure how to import public domain books to there, so it'd be a little tricky. Googling, the original cover appears to be this, which I'm not sure is compelling enough for DYK anyways. So I think it probably won't be possible to run this with an image, but if I expand the article further in the future, I'll definitely look into getting the book on Commons or Wikisource. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 21:11, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not entirely unexpected - thanks for checking. :) Aranya (talk) 17:22, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
