• The article is plenty long enough, well sourced, free of copyvios, and nominated timely. The hooks are sourced; I prefer ALT1 as the most interesting. The image is free and should show up well. The only issue is the need for a QPQ. Dumelow, if you can supply that, this nomination will be good to go. -- MelanieN (talk) 14:57, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the review MelanieN. I've now carried out a QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/John H. Hill, apologies for delay I haven't been very active here the past week - Dumelow (talk) 07:27, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, Dumelow; the nomination is now good to go. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:33, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
