Created by Netherzone (talk) and Husky (talk). Nominated by Netherzone (talk) at 13:28, 10 September 2021 (UTC).


General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks good. My only question is whether CC By 2.0 with Attribution is a concern or not for the image. I don't think so, but in the interest of being cautious I was looking at the main image on the article; not the hook. This image is free and clear.

  • Looking at the hooks, ALT0 is a bit awkward sounding to me, but ALT1 is interesting, short, and effective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcr25 (talk • contribs)
  • I'm fine with using ALT1. I'm fairly new to the DYK process, so am not sure if I should strike-out ALT0 or wait for the co-nominator Husky to weigh in (or if it striking-out an ALT is the right procedure.) Netherzone (talk) 19:26, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
  • I'm honestly not sure either Netherzone. I'd say at this point, the nomination has been approved so it's waiting until someone with authority moves it into the queue. I kind of assumed whoever does that would look at the nomination review and act based on that. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 19:33, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
  • I would be fine with either ALT0 or ALT1. Very nice that this got accepted, looking forward to seeing it on the Main Page! Husky (talk page) 21:00, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
