... that the presenting of candidates by the Scottish Family and Alba Party in the 2022 South Ayrshire Council election is the first time they've ever done so in a South Ayrshire council election? Source: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/scottish-council-elections-2022-south-26596464
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Soony Saad

Improved to Good Article status by Stevie fae Scotland (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 02:47, 18 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2022 South Ayrshire Council election; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Other problems: - I'm wary of accepting Daily Record as a reliable source, given its ties to the Daily Mirror (listed as questionable at RSP) and the political nature of this article's topic.

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - Daily Record does not mention Scottish Family at all, nor does it mention that it was the first for Alba Party.
Interesting: - As it stands, it's quite boring and wordy. The hook can be trimmed to simply state that it was the first with those parties ("presenting of candidates" is unclear compared to "fielded" as the article prose uses), but it's still not hooky.

QPQ: Done.

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
