  • ... that Tickner Edwardes (pictured) was a beekeeper who wrote the earliest account of hitchhiking? Source: Riding with Strangers p. 131
    • Reviewed: Kenneth Lo (writer)
    • Comment: The nom may technically be a day or two late but the page is being expanded and so there's the 5x test too. The subject seems quite interesting so it may be worth giving the benefit of any doubt.

  • The dash between 'hitch' and 'hiking' can be removed to avoid an unnecessary redirect. The source here is not present in the article and so should be added there. The article just about meets the 1500 character limit but could do with a longer lead and needs additional citations. Other than that, I'm willing to accept this under the 'expanded fivefold' criteria. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 22:09, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Great! I'm hopeful that it'll turn out much more comprehensive once it's done. For now, I still need those two uncited claims to be have an accompanying source before I can approve this hook. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 00:53, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
