Hi Roc0ast3r, nice article on an interesting subject; review: article created 7 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited, I would be a little wary of ALT1 as the article (and source) state that he later regretted not taking up his seat, happy to leave to the discretion of the promoter; no QPQ is required. I picked up the dates of his eligibility for the Lords (stated in the infobox) are not cited, if these can be added or removed this should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 07:39, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: Ah, my mistake. I've gone ahead and added a citation for those dates. And for ALT1, I completely forgot about that part. I'll go ahead and cross that one out. RONIN TALK 15:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Roc0ast3r, all good to go - Dumelow (talk) 15:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
