  • Article has been created in the last seven days, exceeds the length requirement, and is within policy having no obvious neutrality or copyright issues, and cites sources with inline citations. The hook is an appropriate size and properly formatted, is interesting, and is supported by an online source (as well as an offline source) in the article. I wonder if it might be adjusted somewhat to clarify that Taylor entered the camp as during its liberation, rather than as a prisoner. Image is relevant and appropriately licenced although looks a little "muddy" to me at low-resolution. No QPQ. Should be okay to go once the above issues are responded to.

  • Would adding , when it was liberated ? to the end work better ?

I don't think I can suggest anything regarding the muddy appearance of the image. That was the best resolution available for that particular picture. Taylor was using watercolours at the time and his other pictures of the camp survivors have a similar background wash which, I guess, is causing the effect. 14GTR (talk) 12:15, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

  • ALT1 hook is much better. This is only your fourth DYK so no need for QPQ. Good to go. Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:34, 15 October 2016 (UTC).
