  • This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and I prefer the original hook, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:26, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this. I added a cite (the right one, I hope) for the hook fact of his being jailed for one year. But none of the sources are formatted with the date of the article; this would help to follow the timeline. Yoninah (talk) 09:27, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, thanks for adding that cite there. However, I don't exactly understand what you mean when you say that none of the sources are formatted with the date of the article, could you clarify? I'm happy to clear up any issues with the article, and would like to, so please let me know! Thanks, Jake (talk) 09:54, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
  • @Jake12195: Each of your citations just has a title, publisher, and accessdate. It would be more helpful to add at least the date of publication to each citation to show that these weren't all published at the same time. Yoninah (talk) 10:24, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, gotcha, makes total sense now. I can definitely update that later today, hopefully within the next ~12 hours. Cheers, Jake (talk) 12:55, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, took me a little longer than I said, but I formatted the cites with their publication date. Let me know if there are any more issues to clear up, I'm eager to get this article to the front page! Jake (talk) 07:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 10:43, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
