Article is new (created 20 April) and within policy. Earwig detects a 44.8% chance of copyvio, but the detected matches are all direct quotes and mentions of the title. Excluding direct quotes, section headers and refs, I count a bit over 1400 characters. Including direct quotes in the running text but not block quotes, it's ~1800. Not sure whether this qualifies as long enough.
- Hook is short enough, interesting, neutral, and inline cited. (I assume newspaperarchive.com is a reliable source, I must admit I have never heard of the site.) QPQ done.
- The image is Public Domain according to its Commons site. It's used in the article. IMO it doesn't work perfectly in small resolution, but in a way that adds to the suspense as to what the article is about :-) --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 10:48, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Anypodetos: Thanks for the review! I believe the article is long enough to meet the requirements. (1834 characters (334 words) "readable prose size") Bruxton (talk) 19:23, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
You're right. WP:DYKSG A2 says "it does not include the table of contents, section headers, image captions, block quotes" but it says nothing about quotes in the running text, so we're safely above the threshold. Good to go. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 19:41, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

- @Bruxton: could the image be cropped a little, for clarity? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 01:14, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
