 * Symbol question.svg New enough and long enough. Image has appropriate licensing to appear on the main page. QPQ checks. I see two problems. Firstly the name of the magazine is The Wasp, so you might have to stylise it as such. More importantly while your source mentions that he was married to "Florence Ballinger, the sister of Frank J. Ballinger", it does not seem to say that Frank was his former business partner, or that he worked for The Wasp. Freikorp (talk) 11:25, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
