Overall: A newly promoted GA which received an appropriate review during the GAN. Overall, everything looks good for ALT0, which I think is definitely the strongest option. I'd make a few tweaks to the wording, though, to make it more concise, define "pie" (since it's not that common as a verb), and remove the identity of the thrower (which doesn't add much as not too many readers will know who he is). That leaves us with ALT0a: ...that an environmentalist threw a pie in the face of the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist? If that works for you, this should be good to go.

Thank you, @Sdkb:! Your proposed alt is fine with me :) Arcahaeoindris (talk) 09:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm getting WP:false balance vibes from ALT0. Views sounds like an opinion, rather than misinformation. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:02, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

ALT0a presumably resolves that, though, Femke. I'll cross out ALT0 to make it clearer. Sdkb ^talk 17:24, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

yeah, you're right, should have noticed that, sorry. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:32, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

The creator of this nom has not edited since May 10. Unless someone adopts this nomination, I think this should be rejected as abandoned. Z1720 (talk) 00:34, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
