Hi Bruxton, review follows: article created 15 August and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what appear to be reliable sources for the subject matter; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; quick query on the image, can you prove it was published in the US before 1927? I couldn't see any mention of publication date at the source - Dumelow (talk) 06:20, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: The image was taken from the Library of Congress website, and it was part of a year 2000 legacies project. But I am taking the image out of the nomination. Bruxton (talk) 13:45, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi Bruxton, yes the rights position for images on the LOC website is not always clear and they are not always the copyright holder (some detail at Commons:Commons:Library_of_Congress#Rights). I see the Wisconsin Historical Society is claiming copyright as part of its collection here, but it wouldn't be the first time that someone tries to assert copyright over a free work! A QPQ has been carried out so this is fine to run without an image - Dumelow (talk) 13:57, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
