 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I like the original hook best but that sentences needs a ref right after the full stop. Consider to put the MBE as an honourific suffix after his name. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestions - I believe that's done now. Agreed with the original hook being the best. Ta, violet/riga [talk] 19:56, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, - ref 7 gives me a 404 error, and ref 8 supports only musician. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:04, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * How typical - that's just happened! cached version here violet/riga [talk] 20:11, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg thank you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:27, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but the QPQ doesn't seem like a review at all. I'm surprised it was promoted. Do you have another QPQ that's a full review? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:20, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Clearly I'm from a bygone time when people were trusted at their word with QPQs and didn't have to spell it out in full each time. Let me assure you that everything was checked in full and sufficient for it to be then promoted. I've also been explicit in all reviews since. violet/riga [talk] 22:26, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg It has nothing to do with trust. WP:DYKR asks for reviewers to spell out everything they check. Glad you're doing that on future reviews. Restoring tick per Gerda Arendt's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:36, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my comment was meant to reflect how the process has changed since I was involved in it, without any implication of mistrust. The change appears to be a positive one. violet/riga [talk] 22:39, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Returned from prep due to issues raised at WT:DYK. His disability is not even mentioned. One source is a dead link. Yoninah (talk) 18:31, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Issues raised at WT:DYK resolved. Disability is mentioned and cited, and I deleted the dead link. Restoring tick for ALT0 per Gerda Arendt's review. Yoninah (talk) 23:53, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
