Created by Bogger (talk). Self-nominated at 15:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Majella O'Donnell; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is new, long enough and neutral. It is referenced with sources inline, but the last sentence of the first paragraph under "Personal life", which is marcked with a cn-tag. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports very few text similarity, commenting "violation unlikely". The hook is well-formed and interesting. Its length is within limit. Its fact is accurate with inline sources. QPQ was done. I will approve after the cn-issue is addressed. CeeGee 09:54, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- added citation. thanks -Bogger (talk) 13:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everything is fine now. Good to go. CeeGee 09:26, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CeeGe and Bogger: The source says €400,000. I also think the article needs som cleanup since there are multiple single sentences scattered throughout and an apparent oversectioning of the article. Bruxton (talk) 22:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Source says "almost €400,000" - I know that more was raised after that article was published, but couldn't find a better source. The multiple single sentences would have refs at end of paragraph instead, but it's a BLP so I went with refs as close to claims as possible. Happy for someone else to cleanup if desired. -Bogger (talk) 22:13, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
