  • Reviewed: I currently have fewer than five DYK credits, so I am exempt from the review requirement.

Improved to Good Article status by Jlvsclrk (talk), Aspening (talk), and Tigerboy1966 (talk). Nominated by Aspening (talk) at 03:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC).

  • DYK checklist template

General eligibility:

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: While the article had numerous changes building it toward GA status, there are no disagreements or edit warring. Article is sourced and NPOV. Plagiarism check yields result of 51%, but checking reveals most of that is legitimately duplicated quotations. Remainder is unavoidable duplication of phrases. I would opt for the original hook; its originality makes it far more interesting than the alternatives. The illustration is beautiful, sharp, and properly licensed. QPQ status accepted in good faith. The article is GTG. Recommend lead position on Main page because of photo.Georgejdorner (talk) 21:31, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm relatively new to DYK and didn't realize this until recently, but I noticed that there are a few submissions in the special occasion holding pen that are being saved for the article subject's birthday. Gun Runner's birthday is March 8 (just under two weeks from now). Is it still possible to save this for that date? Aspening (talk) 06:22, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
