  • Comment: I would like this one to run on January 8, the 80th anniversary of the murder. It is not entirely complete as of the time of this nomination; so keep that in mind.

    I may also be able to get a picture of Ms. Werner to supplement the nomination.

I have gotten it. Daniel Case (talk) 07:51, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. Image is public domain. One quibble that doesn't have to do with DYK: Please flesh out the French references that are citing a book or a chapter, not sure what. Excellent work! Good to go.
