@Whispyhistory: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook sources check out and are presence (must AGF on the one source—the enquiry—with no online copy available to me). I have a close paraphrasing concern of the length of the quote on Eddie Burke in the Family section. Most of the other sources Earwig is concerned about use the names of long professional organizations, article titles, or quotes. Can something be done with the Burke quote before a tick?

Thanks @Raymie:. I trimmed that quote. I have a copy of the enquiry... much of it is quite well documented in several textbooks. There has been another editor contributing to the article. I don't know how to add their name to the dyk. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:56, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
