  • Hi RoySmith, review follows: article moved to mainspace 20 November and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to sources cited (that he built the lab is elsewhere in the article; a QPQ has been carried out. Can't see any issues here - Dumelow (talk) 11:04, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks RoySmith, image looks OK to me. Not an expert on the ins and outs of the copyright law in this instance but the licensing looks to be correct - Dumelow (talk) 15:44, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
