The article is new and long enough. It is neutral and cites sources inline. Earwig's Copyvio Detector reports no copyvio issues. I prefer the ALT1-hook, which needs to be expanded maybe as "... predicted in a report with two others that the ..." to be conform with the original text. The hook would be within limit also in this case. The image is included in the article, and is ©-free. QPQ was done by the creator Whispyhistory. However, to my knowledge, the nominator has to do QPQ. CeeGee 12:42, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, the quote is directly from Roney in the part that he wrote. Please view the ref. It's immediately before "Your very obedient servant, C. P. Roney". Anyone can do the QPQ. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:55, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- OK! It was not clear to me as I could not read the whole source tetx. Forget my recommendation about an extended ALT. However, I am not convinced with your statement "anyone can do the QPQ". Maybe a more experienced WPan can help here. After this issue is resolved, I can approve. Sorry for any delay. CeeGee 13:41, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
- CeeGee, anyone is welcome to donate an unused review of theirs as a QPQ; in this case, it's the article's co-creator doing the donating, which is the most common case, and perfectly fine for DYK. So long as the donated review covers all the DYK criteria, it should be fine. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:35, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you very much indeed BlueMoonset. This was the information I needed to know. CeeGee 13:27, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
