Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Shopping cart theory
Comment: New VP of Somaliland. I want this to be an image hook, so please tell me if the image is ok (I can switch it out).

I wrote this as complete as I could, scouring the internet. I just don't think there's any information online about his early life or early political career.

Created by Bremps (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 10 past nominations.

Overall: When the election results had just been announced, I had researched to create an article on Abdi, but gave up after being unable to find anything on him. So nice work here. The article appears to meet all the criteria and the image appears usable. Looks good to go! BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:40, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. Can I request a WP:SOHA for December 14, his inauguration date? There aren't any SOHAs for December 14. Bremps... 22:05, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds alright. I tried adding it to the special occasion holding area. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:22, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would we be okay with ALT1: that Vice President of Somaliland Mohamed Aw-Ali Abdi (pictured), who assumes office today, once held a campaign event in Birmingham, United Kingdom? I'll leave the choice of hook to BeanieFan11 or the promoter. First one might sound more active but the second one might emphasize recency. Bremps... 11:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think either works; will leave up to the promoter. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:51, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

could be used too if resolution is prioritized. Bremps... 02:05, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
