As a courtesy, I added the citation to the necessary location in the article. Pending QPQs, I think we're good to go here. Ping me when you've gotten those done! ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:08, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbritti: thanks for the review. Completed the QPQ. Missed the fact that I had to complete 2 QPQs. However, I have completed them now. Ktin (talk) 17:19, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged the photo of him to have its size reduced, but that'll get resolved automatically before the article runs at DYK. The fair use rationale is valid. Otherwise, we're good to go here. A fine little article. Nice work! ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:10, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
