@EchetusXe: New enough, long enough, and more than interesting enough! QPQ present. This guy was quite the character. ALT0, 2, and 3 all check out with sourcing properly placed in the article...unfortunately, the source for ALT1 (which is also what's in the article) doesn't have the 55 day figure in it (thus the ping). Earwig mostly flags quotes and a list of managerial candidates, particularly from the one Guardian piece. ALT0, 2 and 3 are ready now, but ALT1 does need a source with that specific number or at least a mention of when he started. Raymie (t • c) 19:06, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
