New enough, within policy, QPQ done. It contains a lot of quotes but by my count the prose section is just long enough. The hook is great (and unusually, kind of a summary of the article), and the facts in it supported by reliable sources (though I cannot access the article in The Atlantic it is AGF). No image. The article should be good to go. Yakikaki (talk) 19:42, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Yakikaki: There is now an image in the article, but I'm not quite sure how to add it to this DYK.

Hi Clarityfiend, I also don't know how to include it post-nomination. I've had a look at it and it appears to me to be usable, i.e. no copyright restrictions, but it is a bit grainy and I'm not sure it would be a perfect fit for the main page in any case. But formally it should be OK, if someone more savvy can find a way to include it in the nomination. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 19:09, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
