Article created Feb. 10, prose is of sufficient length, references seem to check out. Image is PD and not seeing any problems there. Not seeing any problems with this one. —

The prose content is only 1055 characters. The minimum is 1500 characters, not including subheads, infobox, categories, references, lists, and tables.

- @ Yoninah: is it acceptable in this instance for me to add more to the prose? I imagine I could find some but haven't got a lot of experience with this kind of objection at DYK. — Ed! (talk) 01:37, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
- @ Ed!: yes, certainly. The icon is just an indication that the nomination is unsatisfactory. Anyone can improve the article so it meets the criteria and claim co-creation credit. Then another reviewer will finish up the nomination. Yoninah ( talk) 09:50, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
- @ Yoninah: OK, take a look now, it has been expanded. — Ed! (talk) 23:32, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. The first hook is the best IMO; hook ref verified and cited inline. Images in article are freely licensed. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. I'm adding
Ed! to the DYK co-creation credits. ALT0 good to go, though I think the image is too fuzzy for the image slot.
