George H. W. Bush broccoli comments

  • Comment: here from the GA review; "mentioned his distaste" is a little bit of an understatement, no? it wasn't a one off thing, he banned it from air force one, frequently expressed his hatred of the stuff, and went on a whole diatribe before the growers sent him the broccoli. still, this should be a fantastic hook :) theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she) 05:57, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

  • General eligibility:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: ATL0 is concise and interesting. The hook is supported by the NYT quoting Bush: that he "never, ever, wants to see another sprig of broccoli on his plate, whether he is on Air Force One or at the White House or anywhere else in the land." Article was just promoted from GA so the article qualifies. I also checked the references to see that the article was cited correctly. The long quotes trip the copyright detector. I do not think it is an issue because they are properly quoted or attributed. No photo is needed, although a chunk of broccoli might get attention. Bruxton (talk) 20:33, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
