• ... that the state of North Carolina is attempting to improve mental health services for Medicaid recipients while trying to save money?

• - Length is good, sources are good. As for bias it would really be nice to see an opposition section to these reforms, however, the sources are legitimate and there is no "supporting" section, I feel that this easily meets the unbiased standard that Wikipedia hopes for. Also, there needs to be a 2-3 paragraph lead-in summary at the beginning of the article, however this is not necessary for the DYK nomination. The real problem here is the hook, it shows too much bias and does not include "Mental Health Reform in North Carolina." Here is an alternative that sticks to the facts. If this is good, then we can go ahead and pass this Kayz911 (talk) 19:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
• ALT1... that the Mental Health Reform in North Carolina required local jurisdictions to separate the management of mental health services from their delivery of those services?

Thanks Kayz911, I added some opposing positions last night. How do I go about changing my hook for DYK? What do you think about: Did you know that Mental Health Reform in North Carolina is drastically altering the way mental health services are budgeted, provided and managed?

Very good, that alternative that you listed is fine, I clarified it as in the state so it would not indicate across the nation: Kayz911 (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

• ... that Mental Health Reform in North Carolina is drastically altering the way mental health services are budgeted, provided and managed in the state?

Good catch about including "the state." Am I all done now? Or are there more steps? You are a fountain of wiki knowledge! ~~

yes, this is a passing article, also, you need to sign your name with 4 tildas, not 2 Kayz911 (talk) 02:06, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

We were all singing your praises last night in class! Is this a career option for you? I'll remember 4 tildas.... Jefiner (talk) 12:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

• I am concerned that the phrasing used by this article is too close to that of its sources - specifically this source, but also this and possibly others. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:49, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
