Overall: 
Newly expanded recently enough, long enough, article is neutral and copyvio problem free. The hook is cited inline and is interesting to an appopriately broad audience. Image has appopriate copyright tag and is clear and used in the article. QPQ given. The only problem I see with the article is that the last paragraph of the lead is a single sentence that does not contain a citation, can it be merged into the paragraph above? Also, I started reviewing before I noticed it was yours, Gerda, but I don't think that's a problem as there is nothing controversial here. Footlessmouse (talk) 22:18, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, I hope Aza24 can reply, - I am only the nominator. It would not even be a problem If I was the author. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:28, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Footlessmouse, the final paragraph is supported by the references in the table as it's just a textual reproduction of the information there. Although I would be happy to copy them over to the lead, if you insist. I would be hesitant to merge that paragraph into the above as it is a separate topic and would distort the chronology. As far as I know, there is no guideline of policy that suggests against short paragraphs, although I'm happy to discuss this further. Aza24 (talk) 00:13, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Aza24: Perfect, can you place that citation at the end of the paragraph? There is a rule (which I once got docked for) that every paragraph of a DYK article must be supported by at least one inline citation. So if you add the citation inline it will be good to go.

- @Footlessmouse: Ah I see, I've added the citations now, thank you for reviewing! Aza24 (talk) 00:25, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
