 * ... that George Washington was the only person unanimously elected president of the United States?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Taslima Akhter
 * Comment: recommend hold for January 20, 2017 (U.S. presidential inauguration); this hook safely presupposes the winner of the 2016 U.S. election will not be unanimously elected

 * Symbol question.svg New and long enough, within policy, QPQ done. The fact about Washington winning the House of Burgesses election only after providing 160 gallons of alcohol to voters would make a much, much better hook, otherwise this is good to go.

 * OK, User:Antony-22 Alt-1: ... that George Washington's campaign distributed 160 gallons of alcoholic drink to voters in the run-up to the 1758 Virginia House of Burgesses election? LavaBaron (talk) 18:28, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I've made some changes to the hook for brevity, ALT1 approved, good to go. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 02:47, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
