Improved to Good Article status by UndercoverClassicist (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 15:48, 27 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/University of Minnesota Messenia Expedition; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Comment: Thank you for nominating. If I can stick my oar in, I think ALT1 is the most interesting of the three; I worry that the top-line hook might be a little pedestrian or meaningless to any readers who aren't already interested in Mycenaean archaeology.

• New GA that looks really good, can't find any problems there. The hooks are short, interesting and supported in the article; AGF on the offline sources. I agree with UndercoverClassicist that ALT1 is the most interesting one, but there are no real problems with the others either. QPQ is done. Ffranc (talk) 12:38, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
