It's interesting that I didn't get fat all these years with everything I ate. ' You also loved the sea. Yes, that was part of the satisfaction. Sea and hummus and tahini with olive oil. What did I stay for?" (translation is by Google Translate, but this sense is clarified in the article title.))}}

Comment: Nominated on behalf of an IP editor (see my talk page) who has also provided the QPQ. That said, I shall paste a note that this IP left on my talk page. Schwede 66 23:40, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

"Note - I should perhaps point out that I have opened up a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASbaio&diff=1277829783&oldid=1277092817 conversation] with an editor who has to my surprise stripped RS-supported mention of Leibowitz from half a dozen articles today between 14:40 and 14:50 (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sbaio]). But while I've opened up discussion with the editor, I don't believe that impacts the DYK itself, as that editor has not as of yet sought to delete the same text from this article. --2603:7000:2101:AA00:6103:B31A:D0F4:8A0E (talk) 03:23, 27 February 2025 (UTC)"
