I think the hook has potential, but it's kind of bland. Yes I'm aware that it could be interesting that a Luxembourgian became the head of an American university, but still. Maybe an additional clause about something he did could be added here? Like along the likes of "... that Luxembourgian Jesuit missionary John W. Beschter, who served as President of Georgetown University in 1829, ...". Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:20, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: I've added an alt hook. He didn't have a particularly interesting presidency. I think it's kind of interesting that a Luxembourgian would be ministering in rural Pennsylvania, so I added information about that. Ergo Sum 14:29, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, I guess that explanation works. The article meets all the DYK requirements, no close paraphrasing, and a QPQ has been done. Good to go with ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:49, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, but I only see two places mentioned in Pennsylvania, Lancaster and Lebanon. How is that "throughout rural Pennsylvania"? Or do you mean to say "in Pennsylvania and Maryland"? Yoninah (talk) 22:47, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
