Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. QPQ is done. I find the main hook very interesting. A couple of issues: 1. "fear of water" should be changed to "fear of the sea" per sources and article. They are related but not the same. 2. The sentence "direct criticism of the Supreme Court over its handling of the criminal contempt case involving the New Patriotic Party’s Sammy Awuku." is almost directly copied from the source. It needs to be paraphrased. -Zanhe (talk) 19:34, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Zanhe, looks like "fear of the water" has already been changed, and I've just rephrased the sentence you highlighted. Anything else needed? --Usernameunique (talk) 10:57, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

I've adjusted the original hook and ALT1 because they both used "fear of water" (they now say "fear of the sea"), and added "the opportunity" to ALT1, because "rejected to head" made no sense. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:30, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Article meets basic DYK requirements: it is new enough, long enough, QPQ, well-referenced (I've also expanded some of the references to include more dates and authors). The hooks are also referenced and included in the article. I did not look into ALT3 or ALT4 because no QPQ was provided for a second article. Preference for either ALT0 or ALT1, because I think ALT2 sounds pretty boring. ^Falling_Gravity 07:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
