A. L. Burt

 * ... that because of A. L. Burt (pictured), boys won World War I and a girl was in three plane crashes?
 * ALT1:... that A. L. Burt (pictured) caused a girl to get into three plane crashes?
 * Reviewed: HMS Sportsman
 * Comment: (pictured) could also be (founder pictured) (as the article is about the company, not the company's namesake), but I prefer the former, as it better hides the punchline while still being technically correct.

 * Thanks for the review, . QPQ is provided above (HMS Sportsman). The hooks are sourced to Gowen 2009 (The Boy Allies of the Navy presents "the boy heroes practically winning the war single-handedly") and Abreu 1984 (Beverly Gray in three plane crashes). --Usernameunique (talk) 21:27, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ref. The rules at WP:DYK say that You can do your QPQ review before or after you make your nomination, but for your nomination to be approved you will need to provide a link, at your nomination, to your completed QPQ review. (bolding added), so that's why I didn't pass it yet --DannyS712 (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks . The link is provided above: It's the first bullet point after ALT1. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I can see that you started the QPQ, but my understanding is that this can't pass until your QPQ is finished --DannyS712 (talk) 21:58, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * , finished means that all the criteria have been checked, not that the review has led to a pass, and/or the successful running of an article on the main page. It does cause some issues (i.e., others have to pick up the slack) when a reviewer disappears from a review after doing the initial go-through, but it prevents articles from getting unnecessarily held up. You would find little trouble using this review, for instance—in its current state—as a QPQ for a nomination of yours. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:12, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I've never seen that before, but given that the nom disappeared whatever. Good to go --DannyS712 (talk) 22:19, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks . Could you please add the tick to ensure that it passes through? What qualifies as a "finished" review is pretty standard, which, if you do some more DYKs, I am sure you will see. Hopefully you do; I enjoyed reading the Alabama v. North Carolina article today. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:42, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Restoring back to nominations page. A discussion here settled on an acceptable hook, restated below. This could run with or without the image above.
 * ALT2: ... that Beverly Gray was able to survive three plane crashes thanks to A. L. Burt (pictured)? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:17, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * this is Symbol confirmed.svg also okay. I think the image should be used, but if not that's fine --DannyS712 (talk) 20:23, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tick, . I've added (pictured) above, but it can be removed if needed. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:26, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
