- Comment: I am currently very busy offline. I will review another DYK at my earliest convenience. However, I would appreciate any input on my nomination for my first DYK and GA promotion on a topic of personal interest, Pete Buttigieg. Moreover, I copied references directly from the Pete Buttigieg article. I apologize if this (or anything else in my template) was not the appropriate procedure. Thank you for your suggestions!

Improved to Good Article status by AndrewPeterT (talk). Self-nominated at 01:50, 7 October 2021 (UTC).
– @AndrewPeterT – New enough (promoted GA on October 5, 2021) and long enough (38765 characters). Sources and neutrality all seem fine. The main hooks implies that Buttigieg is fluent in 8 languages (really exceptional), but the article says that he has "some knowledge" of those languages. None of the sources say that he is "fluent". I'd really avoid it to be on the main page, as it is unclear. Rest, the hooks are withing character limit; neutrality and WP:BLP appears all right. Every hook is interesting, but my preference is for ALT 4. I have un-linked almost everything except a few things, as rest appears to be overlinking. Let me know if you disagree. The hooks appear in the article, and are cited. The picture is very clear, and licenced properly. And QPQ is not required as you have less than 5 nominations, but feel free to do them. I leave the inclusion of "(pictured)" on the promoter, as we are currently in trial period. Almost good to go. Just some clarification needed. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- Also, I'd replace 'rival' with 'competitor' in ALT 4. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:42, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Kavyansh.Singh: Thank you for your review of my DYK nomination and the clarification on the QPQ policy. I am glad to see that my hooks already meet most of the requirements. Regarding the main hook, I have rewritten the sentence to state that Secretary Buttigieg has knowledge of eight languages. This wording is more similar to the text in the actual article. Also, I have changed rival to competitor in my ALT 4 hook as suggested. I do not have any objections to you removing most of my article links. I had included them just in case readers did not know and/or wanted more information about those topics. Finally, I am fine with my ALT 4 hook being on the main page instead of my main hook. Please let me know if you have any more questions and/or comments. Hurricane Andrew (444) 20:21, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
– Fine, I'll approve ALT 1, 2, 3, and 4, with image. "Good to go", Great work! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:14, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
pronunciation is wrong
editsame as title, it's Boot-Edge-Edge not Boot-ah-judge 216.222.181.150 (talk) 15:43, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have no doubt that he pronounces the second syllable as an unstressed link between the first and third, certainly not representable by "Edge-Edge" as though they had the same weight. Listening to him introduce himself here, I'm actually having trouble figuring out the first vowel. It isn't /u/ as in "boot" but it also doesn't sound to me quite like /ʊ/ as in "put", but I guess that's what it is. In a respelling sort of phonetic representation "boot" won't work because it'll imply a long "oo". Let's see if this bit of Unicode magic works to represent a short "oo": "bo͝ot-uh-jedge".

Defense of Tulsi Gabbard being accused of Russian Spy by Hillary Clinton
editThis is from Tulsi Gabbard's Wikipedia page. It might be good to mention this on his page: In October 2019, former secretary of state and 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton suggested that Gabbard was a "Russian asset". Gabbard was defended by fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidates Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders, who rejected Clinton's suggestion that Gabbard was a Russian asset. Trump also defended Gabbard. Easeltine (talk) 19:26, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Easeltine Not for this article. That really isn't a major stance or aspect of him.
- If any Buttigieg articles would make sense for that, it'd be his presidential campaign. But I am not sure that it's significant enough either. Unless we add more about the interpersonal dynamics between him and other contenders (which maybe we could do). SecretName101 (talk) 01:49, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
"Progressive"
editcurrently Buttigieg is listed as one of the names in the Progressivism sidebar. Apart from the fact that he definitely isnt notable enough to be listed next to Clement Attlee and FDR, he also very clearly isnt a progressive. Compare Pete_Buttigieg_2020_presidential_campaign#Political positions. Despite running a moderate campaign and constantly attacking Sanders, there is only a single quote in this article claiming he is a "pragmatic progressive" from a random publication. The section should really be updated and expanded, considering he is certainly gonna run for more public offices. — jonas (talk) 23:48, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- It just said what it needed to to try to get elected. 205.132.40.169 (talk) 23:38, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Noncapitalization (?) of "secretary of transportation"
editI saw "who served as the 19th United States secretary of transportation" in the first paragraph and thought it seemed curious that the office wasn't capitalized, so I investigated and found out why this is Wikipedia's general policy with such titles. I have also now noticed, however, that all eighteen of the other instances of the office in the article are capitalized, as I initially would have expected. I don't know how this could fail to be viewed as a clear inconsistency. Bret Sterling (talk) 22:43, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
