 * Comment: Although I made two edits to the article prior to the improvement period, I did not begin major improvement until 16 May 2018, after made an edit. From 16 May 2018 until today, I expanded the article from 590 bytes (101 words) of prose to 3380 bytes (590 words) exceeding the fivefold expansion requirement (to expand to 2950 bytes of prose). The article exceeds 1,500 characters of prose. No CopyVio is intended with the highest score being 11.5%. I have yet to complete a QPQ, and will add that review upon its completion.

 * QPQ completed with the review of this DYK for the article Baron Kilkeel.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:34, 19 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article has been expanded five-fold and past the minimum character count. It is well sourced, neutral, and free of plagiarism. I would caution that the writing is a bit rough in some places, so perhaps you should ask for a copyedit. The hooks are cited inline to reliable sources; I prefer the first two hooks, as the third isn't particularly interesting to a broad audience. QPQ has been completed.
