Article: new enough, long enough, appropriately cited. Hook: mentioned in the article (though it has been phrased differently), supported by in-line citation, interesting. QPQ done. My only concern is the image used in the article, though it seems to comply with WP:NFCI, has not yet been reviewed by a patroller/administrator.GinaJay (talk) 17:26, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, GinaJay, thanks for the review. I'm not quite sure what you're referring to by the need for an administrator. The image has been uploaded correctly as fair use. A bot will soon come along and reduce the size of the image so it complies with the fair use criteria. Otherwise the image is fine. Yoninah (talk) 18:18, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Yoninah. I meant to say that the fair use rationale for the image has not yet been checked by an administrator. I’m not well-versed in copyright issues though, so if that’s not an issue, then this DYK nom meets all criteria. GinaJay (talk) 19:32, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
