General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Ritchie333: Article is just long enough and fresh from draft movement. Plagiarism is nonexistent, and QPQ is done. Image looks nice and is under an eligible license. An issue I have is with the sources - the one from Hemel Today says it was set up by one John Dickinson in 1804, while the one from the papertrail.org.uk states a 1803 date from Bryan Donkin. I imagine it's just the paper misquoting, but mind verifying? Juxlos (talk) 09:46, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

  • Also, the caption seems a tad long, just saying. Juxlos (talk) 09:47, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Other 1803 / Donkin sources are here, here and here, so I think this it's just a mistake in a local newspaper (I mean, look what happened to Tim Messenger in Hot Fuzz) Also trimmed the caption. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:08, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Sounds good. There's little reason I see to fail this so. Juxlos (talk) 10:23, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Top ho and spiffing. I realise the article is only just about the stub threshold, but I'll hopefully add a bit more soon. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
