General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.

QPQ: No - Not done
Overall: This is a well-constructed and interesting article. As far as DYK is concerned, it is new enough, long enough and I'm satisfied that reflects the sources without plagiarising them. I'm not an expert on copyright but the file at Wiki Commons claims to be in the public domain and the photographer has released it as such. Once the QPQ is done this should be ready to go.

  • Thanks, I may take a few days, but I'll let you know when I've done it. I've had a number approved just recently, some of which had been sitting round for weeks, & I'd like to space them. Johnbod (talk) 05:10, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
  • Well done. GTG. Bermicourt (talk) 17:47, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this to an image slot, but the image file is saying that you need to indicate that it is public domain in the United States as well. Yoninah (talk) 00:03, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Done. You'd think being 950+ years old was enough .... Image first published in 1857. Johnbod (talk) 01:27, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I adjusted the URL for the Met Museum source per the source you used on this template, which shows the whole text. Restoring tick per Bermicourt's review. Yoninah (talk) 02:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
