  • Comment: for ALT 1 it could also say African-American but that may be more or less pedantic.

Improved to Good Article status by Trillfendi (talk). Self-nominated at 17:15, 6 November 2019 (UTC).

  • First of all, I can't approve the ALT0 hook because it isn't supported by the source. I would *really* like to approve it because it is the more catchy of the hooks, but the claim "it was never offered" isn't in the source provided. I thought it might be in the previous citation within the article, but I can't find it there either. Is there another source which supports that claim, perhaps when some language was moved around during the GA process?
Anyway, the article is obviously new enough, having been promoted to GA status today. Long enough... do I even have to justify that? The article is neutral and every paragraph is cited to numerous inline citations. No paraphrasing or other copyvio issues discovered or likely to exist. The ALT1 hook is within formatting guidelines. The ALT1 hook claim is precisely found within the article, and is directly followed by attributable to an inline citation to a reliable source. Hook is written in a neutral manner, and is of interest to a broad audience. I will not opine regarding the use of the word "black" vs. "African-American." There is no DYK image to check against. The only issue is that the QPQ has not been completed. This article is well written, interesting, and deserving of main page exposure. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 22:19, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
Well, the source itself didn’t say that last part, it was Donald Glover who said it so I kinda lumped it all together. As for the black vs African American aspect sometimes editors “on here” involved in articles on African-American culture like to go the route of “all African-Americans aren’t black and all black people aren’t African American” pedantry (don’t get me started on Rami Malek a-HA!) so I used prudence. Technically both are true in this case. QPQ is coming shortly. Thanks for the review. Trillfendi (talk) 23:14, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
QPQ completed. Trillfendi (talk) 05:40, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
  • - QPQ complete. FWIW, I missed where the source quotes Glover, which would have sufficed. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:44, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
