• Thanks for nominating this, No Swan So Fine! It looks good to me. The one thing that's a little off is that the blurb refers only to Major, whereas the photo is only of Champ, which might be confusing. I don't know how we'd get around it unless we can find a free photo of Major, though. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 18:25, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

You're right to pick up on this incongruity; I was struggling for an interesting hook! We will have plenty of photos in January. Not sure how to resolve it until then. No Swan So Fine (talk) 18:33, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. As pointed out above, the image is unsuitable for use with this hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:00, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

• I've added an ALT so we can use the photograph. No Swan So Fine (talk) 07:49, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

• Where's the QPQ? Yoninah (talk) 19:19, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

• I've been saving a slot for this and I really need to promote it now. Donating a QPQ: Template:Did you know nominations/Ibrahim Omer (review of Ingrid Leary). Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 13:42, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
