 * Symbol confirmed.svg New, long enough neutral, cites sources, plagiarism-free, hooks are both short enough, cited, otherwise acceptable, QPQ is done, no image. It's worth noting that I much prefer the ALT over the original, although both are fine. The first one, while interesting out of context, falls flat on interesting-ness when you realize that he's the second person to receive the award.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  18:53, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
