Good to go, interesting hook. HerkusMonte (talk) 15:51, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@HerkusMonte: you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. An optional Reviewer's Template is located above the edit window. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:59, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting article, on good historic sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and a good illustration. Article: I haven't seen explanations for "see also" links so far. How do you feel about an infobox? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:50, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unless there are a lot of details involved, I can live with just a short Description paragraph. However, if someone wants to include the box, I'll not object. Thanks for the review and for your inquiry. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 18:37, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
