5x expanded by Coffeeandcrumbs (talk). Self-nominated at 02:12, 19 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Coffeeandcrumbs, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed from 18 May; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on sources; hook is interesting, covered in the article and backed up by sources cited (invention: Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology. 32 (5): 529–533; broadway: "Kelman memorial on Broadway". The Palm Beach Post. September 12, 2004 and jazz musical comed routine by: "Charles Kelman, MD: ophthalmologist, visionary, entertainer". Ocular Surgery News); image is OK but wouldn't the portrait be better? A QPQ has been carried out. What a great article on an interesting life - Dumelow (talk) 06:51, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dumelow, thanks for the quick review. The portrait is still waiting to be processed through OTRS. I didn't want to risk it since we only have a few days till his birthday. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 07:20, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yes I see now. Also, it's probably worth dropping a note on the DYK talk page to ask for this to be fast tracked into the queue? - Dumelow (talk) 07:52, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
