Improved to Good Article status by The History Wizard of Cambridge (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 03:29, 10 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Trevor Carter; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
. New enough (submitted within 4 days of achieving GA); long; well sourced with inline citations; neutrally written. Earwig picks up rather high matches with The Encyclopedia of Communist Biographies and The Camden New Journal, but this is in part due to direct quotes that are appropriately referenced. QPQ is done. Hook checks out and is confirmed by multiple sources online. @Mike Christie and The History Wizard of Cambridge: Nice work! Are you both happy with this hook as well, or would you like to submit others? In any case I'm approving ALT0 for now. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:09, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- On second thought... The word "leading" in ALT0 makes the hook sound like WP:PUFFERY. But that word could easily be deleted when the hook is promoted, if others agree (or left as is if I'm overreacting). Cielquiparle (talk) 11:11, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi -- I was just the GA reviewer, so I took my name out -- the work was all done by THWoC. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:17, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- To explain, I described Trevor Carter as a "leading" communist activist because he was elected to the central committee for the largest communist party in Britain. Additionally, as a part of the windrush generation he and Claudia helped lay a foundations for Caribbean radicals entering Britain.
- Either way, I'm grateful to Mike Christie for all his help in making Trevor Carter my first GA Article :) The History Wizard of Cambridge (talk) 11:26, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with you that "leading" should be removed from the hook, so I'm going to go ahead with ALT0a: "... that British communist activist Trevor Carter was the stage manager for the first British-Caribbean carnival, held in St Pancras Town Hall?" Edge3 (talk) 16:55, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
