When it said "the Queen" I thought the link would be to Elton John. I might add that the image of Hemingway recovering from dysentery isn't one I feel we should inflict on MP readers. EEng (talk) 05:12, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

As far as MP readers are concerned, MPs in glass houses should not throw stones. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:17, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Good point. EEng (talk) 12:20, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

The article is new, long enough and was nominated within the time limit. It is neutral and has in-line citations. The image meets all requirements. All 3 hooks are within the character limit, accurate, cited, neutral and do not have negative aspects about people (Living or not). In my opinion, the base hook is more interesting than the other two. I haven't yet verified whether a QPQ is required or whether it has already been done. I reviewed online sources for close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism and found no issues. The DYK is good to go. Bruin2 (talk) 18:39, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

"I haven't yet verified whether a QPQ is required or whether it has already been done." - it's listed at the top of the review! Template:Did you know nominations/Heathery Burn Cave Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:12, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

My apologies. I initially misunderstood the instructions and thought that a separate QPQ was required from each listed author, whereas it is only needed for the nominator. Bruin2 (talk) 18:39, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

No worries! Any extra QPQs can clear the perennial backlog anyway. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 19:45, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
