This article is long enough, new enough, and utilizes appropriate sources which are internally cited properly in the text. The corresponding hook and image work well and meet DYK criteria. This one is good to go--great job! -- Caponer (talk) 17:03, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

The DYK criteria for images include the following: "suitable, attractive, and interesting at a 100 × 100 px resolution". I'm not sure how an image that appears to be missing most of the right side of the face and neck below the glasses (facing us) fits those criteria. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:56, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

It's a bit faded, yes, but it's not so bad as to be a showstopper. However, I'm not opposed to submitting this hook without the image. -- Caponer (talk) 18:07, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
