@Hawkeye7: Thanks for that. Yes, working on QPQ which will be my first so may need some guidance. Can you tell me the issue with the nomination and I will sort it. Papamac (talk) 08:23, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
No other issue; it just needs a QPQ. I'm obliged to contact you in case you forgot about it. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 09:47, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Comment: I "reviewed" the article, missing that it was already i progress. I wonder why the first image is not in the infobox, miss a citation for one paragraph, think "the college" would be better than "the College", and would arrange the students in columns. Just suggestions. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
Many thanks @Gerda Arendt: I've now included all four of these helpful suggestions. Papamac (talk) 15:20, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
@Hawkeye7: Thanks for the review. QPQ now done Arthur Rook
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm having trouble finding the sentence in the source that verifies the hook fact. Could you point it out to me? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:02, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah: The sentence quoted in the hook is the first sentence in the paragraph headed "College activities"Papamac (talk) 06:40, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
The source cited is an archive which is not currently available online, so I have added an additional online source verifying the hook fact. Thanks for pointing this out. Papamac (talk) 15:55, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Restoring tick per Hawkeye7's review. Yoninah (talk) 17:41, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
