 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article new enough (30 August 2014), (barely) long enough (1679 characters), fully referenced. Hook verified. No QPQ required because Harry is a newbie. Image licence verified on Flickr. Good to go! Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:40, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Apparently the appointment is subject to confirmation. I think it's just a formality, but probably best to wait for that before this goes onto DYK. Oh, and I'm not a newbie—this will be my 35th DYK, and accordingly I did a QPQ review. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  13:26, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought that was very strange, but the QPQ checker insisted. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:09, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg She has now been confirmed. So good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:24, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Be careful to read the whole story, my friend! ;) There are still formalities to go through (though if she wasn't appointed at the end of it all, that would be notable in itself) like a grilling from a select committee. I'm in two minds as to whether to put it on DYK now and alter the hook or wait for the Queen's official confirmation. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  16:02, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
