Picking this one up. There will be a brief interval until the bot goes through. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:49, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

@Hawkeye7: Issues should be resolved. Most of the issues with Caine's early biography has to do with a birth certificate I was able to find, though an administrator later removed it. The nomination was sent to the Senate on March 10, but Hegseth only reported it on March 12; this discrepancy is stated in the source. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 22:18, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Comments

The article was rejected in February as unstable, but I think things have calmed down a bit. This is still activity, but I believe that it is stable in the sense that it is no longer changing from day to day.

• His date of birth is in the lead and the infobox, but is not sourced in the article. Unless you can find a source and add it to the Early life and education (1968–1990) section, it will need to be removed.

• Similarly, that first section must start with his full name; the lead is but a summary of the article, and the two must stand separately. And we need a reference, but that should not be too hard to find.

• Any idea who is parents are and what they did? Any siblings? (Not required)
• "with a degree in economics" -> "with a Bachelor of Arts degree" in economics" Why leave the readers guessing when we know the answers?

• "with a master's degree" -> "with a Master of Arts degree"
• "pilots who protected Washington, D.C. in the aftermath" Comma after "D.C." (this is a parenthetical comma)

• "Iraqi general Najim Abdullah al-Jubouri" -> "Iraqi Major General Najim Abdullah al-Jubouri"
• "He is the co-founder of RISE Air" Consider telling the reader that is a a regional airline and not a bottled gas company.
• Spot checks: 6a, 15, 18a, 21 - okay

• fn 23: Text says that Caine's nomination was sent to the Senate on 10 March, but the source says 12 March

Just a few minor issues (above)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.

   a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:
