Interesting life, on good sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and a good illustration? I am not happy with the hook. One header says "A rebel of many causes", and this sounds too tame for my taste. I will approve it if you insist ;) - In the article, I find the first images confusing, - can you try to not have them sandwich the text and displace a header. Perhaps by dropping the one of his father? If not, I'd still approve, but first try, please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:08, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- I still need to complete my QPQ for this nomination, but otherwise, I think I've addressed your concerns. Michael Barera (talk) 16:47, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

- Thanks, Gerda Arendt. I've now completed my QPQ (Nettie Lee Benson) and copied the ALT hook just below my initial hook to make it more visible. I think this nomination is ready for your final review now. Michael Barera (talk) 16:50, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
