General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - Page says "Goodwin put in 13-hour days", but ref 13 says 8:30am to 11:30pm, which would be 15 hours.
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nom on creation day and at 4120 B, and, except one issue above, page looks good. AGF ref 8. @Sammi Brie: fix the above issue and you're good to go. There's info I found in the sources like his UWO professor job, MOS:FIRSTBIO prefers both lifespan dates being in the lede, and the "Clark Kent of The National" quote should have a MOS:ELLIPSIS between of and The, but consider these optional. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

• • That's my math error, Miraclepine. It's been fixed, and I made the other changes, too. Totally missed the professor part. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:39, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
