  • Comment: If there's a shortage of DYK hooks with images, there's a public domain portrait, but I dunno if it's neat enough.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: It looks good to me, always good to have a second opinion when it comes down to it. I have never nominated something before, but I want to set some standards and do the QPQ portion early for my end, just so I get into the habit. This was a fascinating piece, since it tapped into a niche of Classical Greek scene that I have not read into before. ALT2 seems to be the most interesting, I highly recommend this one. ALT1 on the fresco despite being personally interested would seem generic compared to the Aristotle piece. NeverBeGameOver (talk) 05:08, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review! I'm obviously biased, but I don't think you really need a second opinion on this, @NeverBeGameOver:. Plenty of people hesitantly start DYK reviewing with less controversial promotions, so it's probably fine. (And, in theory, if a promotion is really crazy, the promoter who moves the hook to the queue generally takes a short overall look and can flag a nomination as needing more work, although it's not good to depend on that of course.) That said, it's up to you.
• As a side note, on your minor edit - this is a bit of a trap since it's not obvious, but the DYK expectation of one source per paragraph doesn't apply to the lead section per WP:LEADCITE. Just a random gotcha out there, and yes, lots of editors / readers don't know this guideline either - more an FYI deal. SnowFire (talk) 17:34, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Alrighty good to know! Sounds good. NeverBeGameOver (talk) 19:31, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
