| General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- None of the quotes are actually necessary to understand the subject and should be rephrased instead (see Wikipedia:Quotations). - Other problems: - Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lead section should only summarize information that is in the article, so the birthdate should be mentioned to the main body of the article (and the references can be moved there per WP:LEADCITE)

Overall: 
Other than those little points, it looks pretty good. I'd prefer ALT1 over ALT0. Regards SoWhy 18:29, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hi SoWhy and BlueMoonset, apologies for thé delayed reply. The hook choice is fine with me and I made the edits to the lead as requested; however I got hung up on paraphrasing the quotes, finding my own paraphrases—to be quite honest—less accurate than the quotations (consequently I have reverted my own efforts). As the quoted text appears only sparingly and are not strictly speaking a policy violation, I’m wondering if we can just leave it be for now as a relatively minor imperfection; after all DYK is meant to highlight new(...ish) content rather necessarily GA or FA standard content.
- Sorry again for the delay, had hoped I’d find some inspiration on a fix. Innisfree987 (talk) 05:32, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Innisfree987: You are of course right as to the nature of DYK and the standards, so I won't insist on it. I tried a partial paraphrase myself, see it you like it, feel free to revert if not.
