Review in progress. Cielquiparle (talk) 05:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting article. New enough (submitted within two days of creation), long enough (6986 characters). Well sourced and Earwig says copyvio unlikely. Both ALT0 and ALT1 cite reliable sources and check out. (Princess Diana drove 600 miles south with her police protection officer, it says in The Diana Chronicles, which provides more context but those details probably aren't that pertinent to the biography of Adrian Ward-Jackson.) QPQ is done, and although two QPQs are now required for prolific DYK nominators, this nomination is now a month old so I've gone ahead and donated a second QPQ above to move things along. Personally I prefer ALT0 as more interesting (plus it avoids readers possibly getting stuck on historical currency values). Cielquiparle (talk) 08:47, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
