Hughesdarren, thanks so much for reviewing this nomination. I apologize for my slow response, as I was away from technology for the weekend. I have not done a QPQ, because I currently have four DYK's under my belt, and this would be my fifth. It's been a couple of years since my last DYK, but if I recall correctly, DYK "newbies" (with less than 5 credits) were exempted from this requirement. If that has changed, I'd be more than happy to do a review. —grolltech^(talk) 04:40, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
