5x expanded by Eddie891 (talk). Self-nominated at 22:26, 3 March 2021 (UTC).
- Newness requirement satisfied by > 5x expansion from 400 characters to 4,000 characters. Article is long enough and appears policy compliant. Earwig detects no issues. Hooks are short enough, interesting, and supported by in-line citations. Subscription required for access to Iowa Heritage Illustrated but accuracy is assumed in good faith from established user/administrator. QPQ still needed. Cbl62 (talk) 18:07, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
