- Comment: I have not participated here before. But I will see if i can review one nomination. For now it looks like I may be exempt based on my lack involvement with DYKs.

A QPQ review is not required until you make your fifth nomination. — Maile (talk) 22:42, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you will continue to contribute to the project. Your article on the Bicycle King of Chicago is new enough (created 12/11), long enough (c. 2300 characters of text), sourced, and neutral. Our Earwig tool found nothing problematic in the ways of copyright violation or plagiarism. Both hooks are short enough and interesting. For some reason, Google books is now allowing me to read the full text of the source ("Unrivaled Chicago"), but I accept the nominator's citation in good faith. If Google allows the promoter to have a look at the book source, that would help. Image (from 1897) displays well at small size and is public domain. New user is exempt from QPQ.

FYI - I am able to read the full text of the source, and can verify the information is there. Google Books makes me input Adolph Schoeninger in the search bar to pull it up, but it works on my end. — Maile (talk) 16:29, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
