Hi @Grumpylawnchair: this article, 5x expanded over 5 days, is new enough, long enough, and well-sourced. QPQ not needed. However, I'm not sure about these hooks. ALT1 is not very interesting, and ALT0 seems uncomfortably personal (and so in violation of WP:DYKBLP). Do you have any other hooks you'd want to suggest?

- @Tenpop421: How about ALT2: ... that Czech Romani activist Elena Gorolová was recognized as one of 100 inspiring and influential women by the BBC in 2018? [source [1] (last bullet point)]
- @Grumpylawnchair: I'm still not sure. How about something contrasting her metalworking training and her advocacy career? Tenpop421 (talk) 23:32, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Tenpop421: Sorry to drag this out so long, this article is kind of difficult to think up a good hook for. How about ALT3 ... that Czech Romani social worker and human rights activist Elena Gorolová worked as a metalworker in her youth?

@Grumpylawnchair: Yes, that works for me! Hook in article and, using a machine translation, the citation checks out. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 00:30, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
