Typically, I'm not keen on the source being "several," though a precise source for this hook can be found on page 238 of this article, so the statement is well-sourced both in-article and here (just glad it was in English!). Image is absolutely front-page worthy (and free; painted in the 1860s). QPQ done, hook is great on both length and content. Article recently hit GA status, though just a couple days outside the five-day nomination window. Unless any of the DYK leads disagrees, I think a 48 hour tardiness is entirely acceptable–I'm of the opinion that GA hook noms deserve the greatest leniency. Overall, nice job to all the editors involved. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:48, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Pbritti. Just a note that DYK's nomination window is of 7 days, so this article is not late. Even if it was a few days late, we usually IAR. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 07:31, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
