- Reviewing... Article new enough, reads well and contains interesting hooks followed by references. QPQ done. Will complete soon. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:16, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- ... Dumelow...Both hooks short enough and in the article. Both are followed by inline citations to references containing hook. Either hook can be used. Image is free, but not sure how clear it would be on the home page. Are you able to reduce the copyvio a bit please? Whispyhistory (talk) 16:37, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Whispyhistory, are you talking about the Earwig score? It comes mainly from four attributed quotes, which I don't think aren't excessive. I have reworded a bit about the 1881 census which has reduced the score from 48.7% to 45.9% - Dumelow (talk) 20:09, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- ... yes, that was the bit I was thinking of. Pass image. Nice work. I wonder whether he had something like lymphoedema or a lipodystrophy. Whispyhistory (talk) 05:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
