  • First DYK review. Article looks good and hook is interesting, but drop the "of" in "March of 1932" per WP:BADDATEFORMAT. Also, iron links to the chemical element, so say clothes iron instead. Could the picture of Hjalmar von Sydow from his article not be added as well? QPQ done. Tiller54 (talk) 11:07, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Done.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:27, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Changing vote. Looks good to me. Tiller54 (talk) 15:31, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I hope the image is used, a murder of a politician like this is really rare.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:43, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
    • Everybody does it in America. Usually with an iron. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:44, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
  • OK, I guess it is a typical "American MO for murder"... :)--BabbaQ (talk) 23:40, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Was there any kind of investigation or court case to determine the murderer? The article goes right from describing the crime scene into pointing the finger at the son. Yoninah (talk) 22:21, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
  • No, from all the information that I can find it is just presented as the crime occurred then he committed suicide hours later at the restaurant. The police put two and two together and there were no particular investigation.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:27, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
  • OK. Here is a complete review: 5x expanded from redirect. New enough, long enough, adequately referenced, foreign-language refs AGF. Foreign-language hook ref AGF and cited inline. Image is pd. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:05, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
