 * Fixed the nom and tweaked the hook. (not reviewing) Philafrenzy (talk) 17:19, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A well-written, interesting article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:29, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, why is this nomination exempt from QPQ? The obligation is on the nominator. Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * nominator and main expander Iainmacintyre has less than five DYK credits. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It has just taken me 18 edits to fix the references. Can we have the reference to "JAMA" clarified please, and ref 21 fixed? The Peerage is used 6 times but is not a reliable source. Can we replace it with something else? Philafrenzy (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Linked JAMA to make it clear. or, can you fix ref 21? I'm not sure if this is the source you intended to use, but it so, I don't see where it explicitly says he was the first to do the procedure. Also, can you find another source for The Peerage? It looks as if it might have the sources it uses listed, in which case you might want to try those. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:42, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Found a different more reliable reference to ref.21. Will check peerage reference and substitute with more reliable ones. This dyk completely slipped by me otherwise would have sorted it...sorry. Give me couple of days as can't be online as much as usual at moment. Thanks for help so far Whispyhistory (talk) 12:12, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Whispyhistory and @Usernameunique . This slipped under my radar too. I have replaced the Peerage references with others and have replaced ref21 with Gross's original publication. Papamac (talk) 14:46, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * ( Ian, I see you are signing off sometimes as Papamac and sometimes as Iainmacintyre. I hadn't twigged they were the same person so maybe others hadn't either. It may be best just to use your registered name of Iainmacintyre? Philafrenzy (talk) 13:00, 8 April 2018 (UTC))
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Replacing my tick. No QPQ needed for this nominator and the referencing issues seems to have been resolved. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:00, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
