  • Both articles are new enough, long enough and meet standards for neutrality, sourcing and avoidance of paraphrasing and copyright issues. The hook is within length limits, is interesting and properly sourced in both articles. QPQ requirement has been met. The image is appropriate and meets standards for DYK.

  • Comment I think something's a bit weird about the image, though. I'll do a quick new restoration, because that's... a very pale face he has after the levels adjustment, to the point of looking plastic. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:42, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Compare File:Gen. Lewellyn F. Haskell - NARA - 528622.tif - don't get me wrong, it's a good restoration (as far as it goes - there's a few bits left), just the underlying image has some oddities that're... interesting to work with. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:56, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
@Adam Cuerden: So are you doing that quick new restoration? KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:11, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
If we are indeed using this pic on MainPage, let's not do so too close to June 8th. A similar pic is scheduled for POTD on that day. --PFHLai (talk) 10:23, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
