  • Long enough, new enough, etc. Good to go--thanks, Vanamonde, for writing it up. My daughter and I enjoyed the photos of the farmer and his sheep as well. Drmies (talk) 14:56, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, the hook caught my eye and I came by to promote this, but the article reads like WP:NOTNEWS. There are almost no biographical details here. The first paragraph under Biography would be better named Background. Yoninah (talk) 20:04, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: I can sort of see where you are coming from, but I am not certain how to address this. I could rename the section as you suggest, but it's odd to have a "background" section in a biography. NOTNEWS is often used in the context of whether the article should exist at all; but the Goldman award is enough for notability, and the subject meets GNG... I could try to prune that paragraph a little and integrate it more; but the information is necessary to understand what comes after, more or less. Vanamonde (talk) 14:37, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Without changing the subhead, I think it would help if you would add a line or two of biographical information. All we know right now is his birthdate and where he lives. Yoninah (talk) 18:43, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: Hmm. I'd call his farming activities, and even his choice to take part in a legal battle, biographical information...in any case, I've added a little bit, and tweaked the order in which the information is presented. Vanamonde (talk) 07:47, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: Is this ready to be promoted? Which DYK criteria does it not meet? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:15, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Yes, it's start-class now. Restoring tick per Drmies' review. Yoninah (talk) 08:53, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
