  • @Mortee: Very interesting! New and long enough, within policy, QPQ done, Earwig finds no copyvios, hook checks out. While outside the DYK criteria, I believe the article would benefit from a fair-use image of one of his works. John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk) 03:09, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
    • John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) thank you very much for the review. I agree that the article would be improved by an image. Fair-use seems to have depths to it that I'm not yet familiar with but I'll see about adding one if I can (not for DYK use of course). › Mortee talk 00:49, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
