General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The source used is quite difficult to read but appears to put together the events of Tuckett's life at this point as described. Just need to address the access dates issue (corrected): There are access dates in the article that predate the publishing of the article on Oct 20, was this copied from a sandbox, draft or external document?

  • Copy and paste from my sandbox here. Now fixed, but I only found one—did I miss some? Thanks.--AntientNestor (talk) 22:01, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
    Looks good, that was it. Reconrabbit 22:15, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
