- article is new enough and long enough. Sources are all reliable enough. Checked the hook cites to Tucker and noted no copyright issues or source-text integrity issues. Image appears to be public domain and is used in the article. Recommend that this one be used in a Christmas set. Hog Farm _Talk 19:45, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
