QPQ is not done, ping me, however the article is new. Its well written and cited and exceeds minimum length; Earwig and I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook facts are interesting enough and the article is neutral. I trimmed the second hook to leave the core fact. The hook sources are reliable and on-line. I suggested a new alt - if you like it. Sadly no photo of her. Nice work.

@Victuallers: Thank you for the review. QPQ now done. Sorry, I'm not a big fan of ALT2, since I think the point of the ALT1 is the fundraiser. I asked someone to help getting an image, but I don't think it will be clear enough for DYK. Corachow (talk) 14:02, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to go with your view. Well done. Victuallers (talk) 08:03, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
