5x expanded by Jon698 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:44, 6 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

QPQ done, no image, 5x expanded on May 31, interesting hook, NPOV article, length-compliant, and no obvious copyvio. My only question is whether he was the "only" or "first"? The source says he was the "first" and not "only"; also it's not inline cited in the article. Chetsford (talk) 21:26, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chetsford: Sorry, dumb mistake by me. I meant to use another reference which states that "the House’s first and sole Conservative member". Just changed the reference. - Jon698 (talk) 22:57, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now! Chetsford (talk) 18:15, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
