5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:20, 28 September 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Hawkeye7, excellent work on this one, an important figure whose article was sadly lacking before you started your expansion. Review follows: 5x expansion confirmed from 20 September; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from sources I accessed; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; I can't read Dutch but the image license looks like its probably correct - Dumelow (talk) 11:17, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
