A fact from Charles J. Turck appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 February 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that Charles J. Turck(pictured) was accused of being a communist spy during his time as president of Macalester College? Source: Kilde, Nature and Revelation: A History of Macalester College (2010), page 200
ALT1: ... that Charles J. Turck(pictured) is the longest-serving president in the history of Macalester College? Source: Gonzalez-Campoy, Macalester Today May 1997, page 9
The article was moved to the mainspace on January 28 and nominated on the same day. It is also long enough at roughy 12,000 characters of readable prose. A QPQ is done. I think the main hook is much more interesting than the alternate, but both are good to go. (AGFing on the first source. As for the second one, I've checked it, and it confirms that Charles J. Turck is indeed the longest-serving president in the history of Macalester College.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:53, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
AGF on the offline source for ALT0, I moved it to the lead sentence where the hook could be supported for DYKCRIT. We can later move that out of the lead. Bruxton (talk) 16:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PCN02WPS: This is my full review. Honestly, I didn't catch much that needed to be corrected. Please let me know when you've had a chance to implement my suggestions. Thank you! Kimikel (talk) 01:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PCN02WPS thank you for the quick response - I'm awaiting clarification on whether or not I have the authority to close this review. Once that gets cleared up this should be able to be approved for GA. Kimikel (talk) 03:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PCN02WPS I just got the go-ahead to close this one out. Looked through the article once again and everything seemed good. Thank you for your quick response and quality work. I'm going to pass this one now. Kimikel (talk) 14:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"it was not a drastic one"> I feel like this qualifier is kind of unnecessary; a reader can decide if a 20/30% decrease is drastic or not.
"getting back on track with"> realigning with
"effect—complete with 180 signatures—with"> replace tacks with commas
"But this shift"> However, this shift
"consequences:"> consequences, as
"By the end of his term in 1958, the school's enrollment had doubled, ultimately reaching 1,400 students"> it was 1,400 as of the time of his death, not by the end of his term. this sentence implies that it was 1,400 by the end of his term, i would reword this.
Can [40] and [42] be archived? Neither are accessible
Archival won't particularly help there, as both sources are paywalled (or require a user to log-in). FN 40 already had the correct |url-access=subscription parameter but I've added it to FN 42 as well. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
