This is a comment and not a review but given the Northern Ireland conflict and previous discussions about it on WT:DYK, ALT0 may not be a good idea for a DYK hook. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:15, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

This is also a comment and not a review but what she actually was quoted as saying was that Wikipedia's error was "shocking", not that it surprised her. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Looks like an IP vandalized the infobox in May 2017, changing the birth date to be eight years earlier, and then another six years earlier than that. The lede retained her correct birth date, but the infobox had date and age wrong. I'm dubious about running a self-referential hook, and a pretty boring one at that: politician is shocked that her age is wrong on Wikipedia (when it had been correct prior to the vandalism and corrected immediately when it was noted).

I know it is a bit meta, but I thought it might be nice to have a hook showing Wikipedia taking a friendly jab at those who say we are inaccurate. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:18, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Given that concerns have been raised about the currently-proposed hooks, new ones may need to be formulated. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 08:54, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

I've struck the Wikipedia-centric hook. If the point is to take a jab at the person, it's completely inappropriate. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:18, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

No, it's not having a jab at the person. More of a self-jab. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:20, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:47, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
