QPQ: Done.

Overall: Personally, I think the organization of the "Miss Supranational pageants" section could use some work. It seems odd to barely have two lines (at least on my desktop) per paragraph, and each paragraph starting with a person's name. Furthermore, the monetary prize is mentioned quite frequently - I don't think it needs mentioned every year. May I suggest stating the first year's monetary prize, and then only stating the prize when it changed (ex: the first year it increased to 30k, state "This year, the prize was increased to 30k" or similar). Furthermore, I'm almost certain that the article will still be at DYK prose size if that section is turned into tabular format - would this be something you may consider to help the readability of the article?Overall, I prefer alt0, or alt0a which I've added a slight wording variation to. Alt1/2 seem to me to rely on one source's reading of "most important", and it doesn't appear to me that the "pentuple crown" (so to speak) is very well defined or even notable in its own right - but the first hook is certainly good to go in my opinion. I'll wait for your replies to the points I raise before I approve hook 0. Please ping me when you reply if you would :) -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 01:49, 21 August 2020 (UTC) -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 01:49, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

• User:GRuban - realized I didn't ping -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 02:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

@Berchanhimez: All done, I think. Please take a look. I'm also fine with hook ALT0a. --GRuban (talk) 17:06, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

@GRuban: Good to go now for ALT0/ALT0a - and the article is much easier on the eyes and easier to pick information out from table format for those competitions. Also still more than meets the prose requirement even after table conversion. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 18:36, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

And if there's anything we should expect, nay demand, of an article about two beauty pageants, it's being easy on the eyes. --GRuban (talk) 18:42, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

• The hooks are not grammatically correct. ALT0 leads with Jenny Kim in the first clause and the country in the second. I prefer ALT0a, but it should say:
• ALT0a-1: ... that Jenny Kim's victory in the 2017 Miss Supranational beauty pageant (finalists pictured) marked the first time a contestant representing South Korea won a major international pageant? Yoninah (talk) 21:53, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Fine with that as well, thank you! --GRuban (talk) 12:32, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

• @GRuban: the first paragraph under "Puteri Indonesia Pariwisata" needs a cite per Rule D2. BTW the image looks good at thumbnail size but when I click on it, it's incredibly blurry. I would like to use the image, but I wonder if others will be disappointed when they click on it. Yoninah (talk) 19:23, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

I agree, it's not a great image at full size. The pageant is televised, of course, but it seems by a commercial company who sells the rights to a TV network for a non-negligible amount of money. So while there are plenty of images on the Internet, they're "fair use", we can't use them. We have images of most of the winners in their articles, but not of Jenny Kim, strangely enough. I looked. I thought I was lucky to find this frame in an amateur video of the taken by a friend of a competitor, since it's not just of Jenny Kim but of the actual ceremony stage seconds before the triumphal award. I can even grab one of a few seconds later, but when she heard the announcement that she won, she did the classic beauty pageant winner thing of bowing her head into her hands and crying, so she would be even less visible then I'm afraid. I understand the DYK image requirement is that it look good at 100px, which, I think this does? But you're the expert - if you want to run it without an image, that will work too. I will ping you when I've cited that paragraph, probably tomorrow. --GRuban (talk) 23:18, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Cited where requested. --GRuban (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. Restoring tick for ALT0a-1 per Berchanhimez's review. And yes, I agree the image looks fine at thumbnail size. :) Yoninah (talk) 17:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
