Age, length, neutrality fine; no text stealing infringements from the sources I can access; QPQ done; Pic is usable and discernible at DYK size (black-and-white headshot is a bit yawny, but he's a dapper chappie, so why not?). Hook fact cited, and I can't find anything that states the contrary, so everything is good; let's go! Belle (talk) 12:40, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Forgot to say: I corrected the spelling of Henri to Henry (to make it match the first mention) and Bartholemew to Bartholomew, but I know Americans like to mess around with spellings :P, so please change them back if they are now wrong; and I don't know if you'd like to include the patent information anywhere, but I think it is quite useful for establishing his claim.
