Hi Bruxton, review follows: article created 9 February and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources for the subject matter; I didn't find any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Image is appropriate but I don't see any back-up for its pre-1927 publication on the Commons page? - Dumelow (talk) 07:43, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Dumelow: I see the issue about the missing pre 1927 publication of the photo. The photo is 124 years old so I will need to look further into the original publication - It was published recently without a copyright and the original photographer was H.B. Welch pictured in the photo on the left. The other photo in the article is only slightly less interesting but was published in a book in 1943, it is a 1936 PD photo. Perhaps we just swap the photos and I can tag the one in question with G7 until I find the end of the rainbow or find a more appropriate license? Let me know what you think. Thanks for the review!

Hi Bruxton, that's fine by me. I know it always frustrates me in similar circumstances where an image is almost certainly PD, but the proof is not readily to hand! - Dumelow (talk) 08:08, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

@Dumelow: I went back to the photo that is clearer and the one which will probably have more interest. Bruxton (talk) 20:35, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Bruxton. To confirm, I think the licensing of this photo has now been proven satisfactorily - Dumelow (talk) 20:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
