Now that’s interesting! The hook is just shy of 200 characters. No citation issues. The prose is long enough with neutrality. It’s new enough and the image has no issues. All you need is QPQ. ⌚️ (talk) 13:51, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Trillfendi. I thought this would be interesting (and is getting wide press coverage). I have less than 5 DYKs, so I think it should be okay for QPQ? Britishfinance (talk) 13:55, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

I have added the missing (and required) question mark at the end of the hook, which puts it at 199 characters, and "(pictured)" as well, though given the damage to the image, I can't recommend its use. Britishfinance is correct, in that no QPQ is required for nominators who have fewer than five prior DYK credits (and I only see one for them). However, Trillfendi, if a QPQ were outstanding, an approval tick should not be given since there's still something that needs to be done before the nomination can be promoted; instead, the "?" icon is what's appropriate when a QPQ needs to be supplied.
