 * Symbol voting keep.svg Long enough, new enough, neutral, QPQ done, no copyvio or text-stealing sins committed from the sources I could access/understand (approaching zero). Hook fact is cited. Image is free to use and visible at DYK size (I would use it; he's a happy-looking chap and has great taste in shirts). Bersertifikat intergalaksi, or ready to go at least.

 * I found the original hook perfectly understandable too. Maybe we could drop the author clause if you want a shorter, punchier hook. ALT1 is fine too, but not as hooky IM(never-knowingly humble)O., up to you. Belle (talk) 19:57, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe if it said "left an election commission to run in an election" it would read better. Or maybe not. I'm just really confused by it. Yoninah (talk) 20:09, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "The" implies that it was the same election he was supervising. "An" could mean an election elsewhere. Hence why I chose "the". Not a fan of dropping the "author" clause, as he is ridiculously productive. At the book launch I attended, he claimed he had the manuscripts for fifty more books on his laptop waiting to be finalized and sent to the publishers. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:40, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK, it seems consensus is not going in my direction. Restoring tick per Belle's review. Yoninah (talk) 08:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
