- I'd also like to submit the following image as an alternative hook image for this DYK nomination:

Obviously long enough and new enough. ALT0 sourced and just short enough. I prefer IMG1. Good to go. Have a look at the good article nomination for the article - it doesn't usually take this long. I reckon you've done something wrong.--Launchballer 00:22, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
Unfortunately, Launchballer has neglected to review any of the Within policy criteria: neutrality, overall article sourcing, and close paraphrasing/copyvio, and does not comment on whether either or both of the images are free, another requirement, or whether the submitted QPQ was satisfactory. These need to be done here. West Virginian, I see nothing wrong with the Good Article nomination: as there are currently nearly 450 unreviewed GAN submissions, waits well in excess of six weeks are unfortunately too common. With any luck, the current GA Cup competition will help whittle down the number of outstanding nominations in the next weeks and months. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:14, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
- The last time I nominated one of my articles for Good article status I received a response within a number of days! Why are you making me do QPQs for DYK articles with that sort of backlog over there? I might have a look at reviewing that myself. In any event, the first image is in the public domain and the other has been released under a Creative Commons license. I cannot see any neutrality problems and every paragraph has a reference. Most of the sources are offline so I'm assuming good faith. Good to go.--Launchballer 10:29, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
