Michaelgav09, this is a good start, though it would have been better to have done this in a sandbox. Note the tags by User:KAP03 (I'm sure you saw them) and address these matters: they are valid concerns. For those book sources, we need page numbers. Good luck, Dr Aaij (talk) 01:50, 27 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Michaelgav09, if you want to score some points, write up a DYK hook. Dr Aaij (talk) 04:11, 3 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Dr Aaij, I just completed one not an hour ago, but not sure where it went.
Michaelgav09, those tags don't disappear by themselves, but I'll have a look, and I'll look at the nomination as well. Dr Aaij (talk) 00:45, 4 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
OK, good work. You need a citation, though, for that "current" amount: it's not in the Raventon book, and it's in the hook, so that's the first thing someone is going to look at. Dr Aaij (talk) 00:55, 4 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Ha, interesting. OK, let's wait and see what the reviewer says. I'll ask around--don't worry about it for now. Dr Aaij (talk) 01:46, 4 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
BTW, with that hook and nomination, you passed. It wouldn't have been so close had you not missed some assignments earlier on. Dr Aaij (talk) 01:47, 4 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Some local folk said the wolf was already so old when the agent catched him, so it's not heroic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.194.227.177 (talk) 21:15, 25 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

I have assessed the article for quality and importance. Regarding quality, the article is borderline between C and B. It is well-referenced, and with some wider material on the subject - including more detail about the hunt which is available - would see it sit safely within a B.
