Created by Votpuske (talk). Self-nominated at 18:08, 27 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Hiding power; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

I like the hook and although I don't have access to all of Diebold et al the hook can be verified from the abstract. Checked article long enough and new enough and no QPQ required. Earwig finds no copyvio. Chidgk1 (talk) 09:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not a showstopper but how about we remove "sq feet per gallon" as the cite is so old? Also please could you clarify a sentence I have tagged. Chidgk1 (talk) 09:52, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Applied both suggested changes (thank you for copyediting!). Votpuske (talk) 23:04, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

great - good to go
