Why George T McDonald? All the references call him George McDonald? Victuallers (talk) 00:06, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Victuallers, I picked that from this disambiguation page George_MacDonald_(disambiguation). If it needs to be moved -- let me know. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 03:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Victuallers, Also, we have George McDonald (social worker) which links to this page. Ktin (talk) 03:22, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ktin That is a better choice as it preserves the name he is known by. I updated the dab page but I wouldn't rename the article as it messes up the DYK nomination. I'm ready to tick this, but I am worried by the image - which we could use under fair use as its provenance at commons is dubious. Victuallers (talk) 09:09, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Its long enough, the subject is notable, it has sufficient refs. The photo isn't used in the DYK. The hook is hooky and referenced. I did some copy editing and it would be good to go,but the QPQ is claimed/promised but not done. Victuallers (talk) 23:49, 7 February 2021 (UTC) (I copy edited the hook - OK?)[reply]
  • Thanks Victuallers. Fair enough. The uploader seems to have self-certified that they are the copyright holder. Also, the uploader's username might give some more information. Please have a look and let me know of your thoughts. If we need to take this outside of this page, I am happy to do so. Copying Cwmhiraeth as an FYI. Ktin (talk) 02:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not intending to hold this up. The image is labelled as fine. My point is that its provenance is dubious and the image may be challenged once it is on the main page. So good to go but my stage whisper is to not put this in an image slot. The hook length is less than 200 chars if "pictured" is not included. Victuallers (talk) 08:15, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
