Hi Eddie891, review follows: article created 13 December; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources throughout; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hooks are all mentioned in the article, I can verify ALT0 and ALT1, happy to AGF on the paywalled ALT2; just awaiting a QPQ on this one - Dumelow (talk) 06:30, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Date of visit
edit@Eddie891: our article on Elizabeth II says she visited Washington D.C. in October 1951. By February 1952 she was queen. I think the Washington Post has the year wrong. Could you verify this date with another source? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:44, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Good catch, Yoninah. Most of the sources I found omit a date or say 1952, but I found and cited a Newspapers.com article published in 1951 about the incident, so obviously it had to have happened by then. I've corrected it in the article-- can you correct the hook, or am I allowed to? Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 22:11, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Eddie891: I'll do it. Thanks for the great ref! Yoninah (talk) 22:14, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
