- Comment: Both QPQs to come sometime today; I may also add an image of Clark to this nomination. The Rufus Clark article is only like 70% baked and will be substantially expanded during the next 24 hours as I needed to publish it before it had been a week since the South Denver, Colorado article had been published. Let me know if you have any concerns!
