 * The article is new enough, long enough and within policy regarding neutrality. The first hook is too long - exceeds 200 characters. I think it's too wordy.  I verified the election as VP of Utah Silk Association with source.  ALT1 is fine and probably more interesting, could not verify with source but there is no reason to doubt it.  Image is from commons and stated as out-of-copywrite due to age.  This is my first DYK review, so I certainly think a check by another editor is needed. MB 20:00, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Second review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I have struck ALT0 in favor of ALT1, which is much hookier. I found the hook fact in one of the online sources being used and added it to the sentence. ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. No QPQ needed for first-time nominator. ALT1 good to go.
