- Comment: QPQ = 2 of 2 part hook. If you see an error fix it. All changes welcome... but if you can see how the hook might be tweeked (to fit with how you would have written it) when its in the queues for the main page then please look for a more constructive edit.

- Other problems:
- "Clarion Van number One was named for Caroline Martyn" appears with a citation only as the caption to the image on the page. I would recommend repeating this information and citation in the main body of the text.

Overall: 
@Madeleineog and Victuallers: A very nice article! Good to go with a couple of minor changes. 1st, see above. 2nd, Wikipedia's manual of style recommends using double quotes around quotations, so it would be desirable to change from single quotes to double quotes throughout the article. My preference would be for the ALT as more hooky, as it leaves the reader wondering just what the vans were for. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 13:24, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Mary Mark Ockerbloom and Victuallers: Thanks for the review Mary. Your points are useful, but obviously neither of these are essential for DYK approval and and I think this is important to note as we will make DYK more inaccessible if new articles have to comply not only with DYK requirements but every "nice to have" in an article. I notice that you don't make the changes, this is allowed, but I've made them anyway. She seems like an interesting woman so nice to see that she now has an article and the vans are now mentioned more widely. Thx again. Victuallers (talk) 15:27, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
All issues resolved, Very Nice! Thank you. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 18:51, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

any reason for me to be concerned that this article has five citations to a wordpress blog and another three to a blogspot blog? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 12:36, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Do you need a reason? Surely that is a rhetorical question. Are you expecting one of us to admit that the other dozen or so references are all a cover? No idea why you are asking this. <--- yes this is a rhetorical statement. I do not need to chat about it. ThanksVictuallers (talk) 13:54, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
