Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, neutral and plagiarism-free. Hook is cited and interesting. However, I have a question: does he still hold the record? The article suggests he does but the hook says otherwise. I also think it might be hookier if we mention the amount of petitions he had. Picture is free, used and clear. QPQ has been done.

OK, added the number. I'd not want to get into whether anyone has recently broken the record (unlikely, but hard to verify a negative), the claim is that he set a record, so said that in ALT1. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:49, 13 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
