: King of Hearts review follows: QPQ done, article is neutral, cited, well written, no copyvio. hook is interesting, AGF on sourcing to Pearce, the NPR mostly gets the whole hook fact, regardless. Article is new enough and long enough. Image is appropriately licenced, but I'm concerned it doesn't render very well at 100px-- it's not the best quality. Thoughts? Otherwise, good to go-- thanks for your work. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:22, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

: It's fine by me than. I'd say personally the image isn't a great one to run on the main page, but it isn't necessarily bad to the extent that it can't run. I'll leave that to the promoter. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 18:32, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
