 * Symbol question.svg Created on March 3, nom on March 10/new enough. 3074 char/long enough. Neutral. Cited. No apparent copyvios. Hook, under maximum. Cited by BBC. QPQ done. Portrait is PD.

 * Like that, - how about using the second image and move (pictured)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:38, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * We definitely all agree that the second image is preferred. Where would you put pictured ? SusunW (talk) 16:47, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Just before the "?" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:50, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
