This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the ALT1 and ALT2 hook facts are cited inline but not ALT0, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues (Earwig did not like the article but that was because of the lengthy quotations used). A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:38, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. If all goes well, and if my current other nom "John Peele Clapham" goes to prep first, then this will be my 100th DYK. At long last! Storye book (talk) 10:32, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
