Initial Review: Article: Newness: ✅ - converted and nomination on same day (May 16) Length: ✅ - 17 kb Copyvio Check: ✅ - violation unlikely, quotes artificially raise copyvio percentage Neutrality: ✅ Grammar: ✅ Sources: - heavy reliance on source #1 and #3

Hook: Length: : ✅ - <200 characters each Content: - ALT0 is interesting enough, but I feel like not enough people know who Marquis de Custine is for ALT1 to appeal to a broad audience Neutrality: ✅ Source: ✅ - source accepted on good faith QPQ: ✅ Image: ✅ - sufficiently licensed, 2nd image looks beautiful

Overall: Wow, great job ! Everything is good - I fixed most if not all of the minor grammatical errors. Please take a look, in case I made any mistakes. I will approve (in good faith) with preference of ALT0 and either image. --Toreightyone (talk) 14:25, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
