@User:HouseBlaster Hello! Concerning the hook, I believe there is a NPOV problem. It seems a tad bit outside of neutrality to imply that he was the one person who "got Oklahoma to" enact this policy. I don't feel like this NPOV issue could be fixed by using ALT1, as ALT1 also has similar issues with wording, to me, the word "fixed" carries positive connotations, something i'd like to avoid for the sake of neutrality. As such, I wanted to propose the following rewording as ALT2

...That Joe Eddins helped Oklahoma enact universal preschool?

It gets across the same message, but with a slightly more neutral tone. I wanted to know your thoughts on this suggestion. -Samoht27 (talk) 16:26, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:Thanks for the review :) Would ALT3: {{tq|... that Joe Eddins helped conservative Oklahoma enact universal preschool?}} work? (I realize that ALT0 does not have that adjective, but coming back to this nomination I think it aids understanding why this is "special".) With my hat as an occasional reviewer of DYKs, for the {{t|DYK checklist}}: you should add a value to the {{para|status}} parameter, and throw in a {{para|picfree|NA}} to make sure it understands that part is not required. Thanks, House Blaster (talk • he/they) 22:08, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

::Sorry to get back to this a bit late! I really like ALT3 because it addresses the neutrality concerns and would be more interesting to someone unfamiliar with where Oklahoma tends to fall politically. -Samoht27 (talk) 17:47, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
