 * Alright, I'm going to go through my checklist: Both articles are new enough, and are definitely long enough. As far as I can tell, there are no policy problems with either article. The hook is pretty good, and I'm going to AGF on the offline source. One problem I might see is that there is no mention of Howard in Shields' article. I gave both articles a quick, unprofessional copyedit (feel free to revert what I did). Overall, this looks pretty good. If anything could be done about Howard in Shields' article, then I think these are ready for the main page Nice work, Allen3. - A Texas Historian (Talk to me) 00:15, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Since when has a requirement for a complete hook fact to be present in every article within a multi-article hook been instituted? See Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 94 for a prior discussion of this issue. --Allen3 talk 00:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Although it isn't a requirement, it just seems like a relevant fact to include in Shields' article. However, it isn't a barrier to promotion, so Symbol confirmed.svg Approved. - A Texas Historian (Talk to me) 01:16, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree that it is a relevant fact, and added it to Shields' article. Now I can promote it. Yoninah (talk) 21:57, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
