Overall: @Gitz6666: Good article. AGF on foreign sources. Though, should "After the end of World War II, Verdross continued his career without undergoing the denazification process." be cited? Also, should the hook just say nazism instead of national socialism since they mean the same thing? Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:31, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, @Onegreatjoke: You are right on both accounts. I've just added a citation to support the that sentence ([1]) and I agree that "nazism" would be way better in the hook. --Gitz (talk) (contribs) 07:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

P.S. I'm having trouble replying to your comment. When I try, I get The "reply" link cannot be used to reply to this comment. To reply, please use the full page editor by clicking "Edit source" and when I use the page editor, for some reason I can't add my signature using the "Insert" button - I have to manually insert the four tildes. I just hope this isn't a problem and that you get my ping. --Gitz (talk) (contribs) 07:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Looks good now. Though, you're supposed to reply through source editing by default because that's what DYK does for some reason. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:50, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Struck ALT1. As I mentioned in my edit summary, it's way over the limit of 200 characters, and it hasn't been trimmed as I suggested. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:00, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

@Mandarax: for some reason I did not receive your notification and didn't notice your edit summary about trimming the alternative hook. Off the two hooks, the first one is perhaps the one I prefer, but I leave it up to you. The alternative hook could be shorten as follows

ALT2: ... that a renowned international lawyer and future judge of the European Court of Human Rights (pictured), was allowed to resume teaching law in Vienna in 1939 through the intervention of Nazi General Jodl?

--Gitz (talk) (contribs) 00:42, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

A third option, also intriguing, would be the following:

ALT3: ... that in 1937 Alfred Verdross (pictured), a renowned international lawyer and future judge of the European Court of Human Rights, sought to combine Nazi doctrine with Catholic-inspired universalism?

The source is this one [2] (at p. 418). But perhaps the first option is still the best, because it is the simplest:

ALT4: ... that in 1937 Alfred Verdross (pictured), a renowned international lawyer and future judge of the European Court of Human Rights, sympathized with National Socialism?

Please, you choose. --Gitz (talk) (contribs) 02:26, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke and Mandarax: Any news about this nomination? I see that it is no longer listed in WP:DYKNOM --Gitz (talk) (contribs) 23:30, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

It's on the "Approved" page, so the first hook could be promoted at any time. If Onegreatjoke approves your other suggested hooks, they may also be considered for promotion. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 04:00, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

All the other hooks are fine. Onegreatjoke (talk) 04:01, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Great! Thank you for letting me know. --Gitz (talk) (contribs) 08:02, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Just copying Onegreatjoke's tick to make it easier for promoters to see the status. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 09:20, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Trying to figure out the very high Earwig score. Appears to be long titles and other unchangeable items. Also I do not see references for "renowned" - is it needed? Bruxton (talk) 16:08, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
