  • Comment: (pictured) could also be (founder pictured) (as the article is about the company, not the company's namesake), but I prefer the former, as it better hides the punchline while still being technically correct.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Can you provide a reference for the hook(s)? DannyS712 (talk) 21:18, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, DannyS712. QPQ is provided above (HMS Sportsman). The hooks are sourced to Gowen 2009 (The Boy Allies of the Navy presents "the boy heroes practically winning the war single-handedly") and Abreu 1984 (Beverly Gray in three plane crashes). --Usernameunique (talk) 21:27, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
@Usernameunique: Thanks for the ref. The rules at WP:DYK say that You can do your QPQ review before or after you make your nomination, but for your nomination to be approved you will need to provide a link, at your nomination, to your completed QPQ review. (bolding added), so that's why I didn't pass it yet --DannyS712 (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
Thanks DannyS712. The link is provided above: It's the first bullet point after ALT1. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:56, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
@Usernameunique: I can see that you started the QPQ, but my understanding is that this can't pass until your QPQ is finished --DannyS712 (talk) 21:58, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
DannyS712, finished means that all the criteria have been checked, not that the review has led to a pass, and/or the successful running of an article on the main page. It does cause some issues (i.e., others have to pick up the slack) when a reviewer disappears from a review after doing the initial go-through, but it prevents articles from getting unnecessarily held up. You would find little trouble using this review, for instance—in its current state—as a QPQ for a nomination of yours. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:12, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
@Usernameunique: I've never seen that before, but given that the nom disappeared whatever. Good to go --DannyS712 (talk) 22:19, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
Thanks DannyS712. Could you please add the tick to ensure that it passes through? What qualifies as a "finished" review is pretty standard, which, if you do some more DYKs, I am sure you will see. Hopefully you do; I enjoyed reading the Alabama v. North Carolina article today. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:42, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Restoring back to nominations page. A discussion here settled on an acceptable hook, restated below. This could run with or without the image above.

ALT2: ... that Beverly Gray was able to survive three plane crashes thanks to A. L. Burt (pictured)? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:17, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
@Usernameunique: this is also okay. I think the image should be used, but if not that's fine --DannyS712 (talk) 20:23, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the tick, DannyS712. I've added (pictured) above, but it can be removed if needed. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:26, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
