Comments/discussion:

Regarding your comment "well and beautifully pictured, especially second article", I only found the lead photo for the John Anderson article after submitting this DYK. It might be more suitable than the Wilson photo if this was to be chosen as the lead hook. If you'd support this to become the lead hook (I might be biased, but I reckon we have three pretty good articles here) and would like to see the Anderson photo used, let me know and I'll put the photo here, and change the hook accordingly.
