@Festucalex: You can't approve your own hook per WP:DYKSG H2. A new reviewer is needed for ALT2, or you can strike ALT2 and approve one of the others. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 19:52, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Sojourner in the earth: I didn't think I was approving my own hook. I thought it was up to the promoter to choose which hook to use. 〜 Festucalex • talk 02:50, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- The promoter can only choose from the approved hooks. You indicated that the nominator's hooks weren't good enough and proposed your own, so none of the current hooks have been independently approved. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 08:57, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Post-close check: Taking all other DYK considerations as completed per the previous assessment, the newly proposed hook is supported directly by a source in the article, and that source includes the cited information. CMD (talk) 02:18, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
