Hi Yoninah, review follows: article created 23 June; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable references; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from a selection of sources viewed; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and backed up by the source; a QPQ has been carried out. No issues here, though would mention that the wedding was connected to the Spanish Flue be helpful? No problem if you want to keep the hook as it is and let the reader find out that detail from the article - Dumelow (talk) 05:42, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
