a simple yes/no question→ a simple yes-or-no question? (Slashes should generally be avoided per MOS:SLASH.) There's a little semantic issue with ALT0. The article and source say one/single simple [yes/no] question, while the hook says a simple yes/no question (without the single/one). This one source does not rule out that previous multiple-question referendums might have had a yes/no question among several questions. To fix this, I would suggest changing simple → single in the hook. (Which might have been what you intended in the first place.) – Reidgreg ( talk) 21:23, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
ALT0a: ... that the upcoming sixth Puerto Rican status referendum will be the first to ask a single yes-or-no question?
Discussing the filibuster in the Results section looks like WP:UNDUE weight to me, especially as it's rather tangential to the referendum. I think it should be emphasized instead that a statehood bill has passage requirements no higher than any other bill. After all, the president still needs to give their signature (barring a veto override).-- Jasper Deng (talk) 07:48, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
