Overall: A very fine article on an interesting writer and political activist. No plagiarism according to Earwig. AGF on offline Romanian sources. ~~One very minor quibble: the DYK subject ought to precede all other wikilinked articles. Just rearrange the syntax of the opening of ALT0 to give Milev precedence and I'll approve the article.~~ —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 00:20, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

- Many thanks, CurryTime7-24. I wasn't aware of this rule (and I must admit I cannot find in the guidelines and supplementary guidelines -- are you sure you don't have it confused for the need to have a link on a word in its first mention?); in any case, I have amended ALT0.

- As we speak, the lead hook on Main Page includes a link before the bolded link. Dahn (talk) 14:27, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
  - You're right. Sorry about making you go through the trouble of amending ALT0. A fellow editor made me rearrange the syntax on a number of my early DYKs, which led me to the mistaken belief that having the bolded link appear first was some kind of rule. I apologize. Approving both DYK alts. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:26, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
