Created by FatCat96 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:26, 8 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Joseph Bosworth (Kentucky politician); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

@FatCat96: Hook is interesting and checks out from the source, which seems reliable enough. Article is long enough, created within the window and has no apparent copyvio, BLP or other issues. Everything is cited: there is in fact some WP:OVERCITE going on, particularly with lead citations and the third paragraph of "political career": I would suggest bundling or pruning these citation lists before the article hits the main page. QPQ not done; the tool I normally use to check DYK credits is down, but can I ask on good faith whether you've had five or more DYKs yet?

@UndercoverClassicist: I believe I have addressed your concerns. Please notify me if there is anything else that needs addressed. This is my first DYK, but it won't be my last! 🐱FatCat96🐱 Chat with Cat 17:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Approved: all checks out here. The MoS (MOS:LEADCITE) would advise removing the citation in the lead and making sure the same information appears and is cited in the body, but that's not a hurdle for DYK. Nice work and congratulations on your first! UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 19:01, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
