Bsoyka, I'm not reviewing but I believe that this photo is almost certainly in the public domain as a US government work. Maybe consider making this an image hook? Bremps... 23:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Bremps: I completely agree and am almost certain it is too, but even after searching I haven't actually found a source that says it's his official photo. I didn't want to technically assume it was PD though, so I just went with fair use hoping to later find proof it was government work. I don't think it'd be a good choice for a Main Page photo at this time because there's no definitive answer that it's freely licensed. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 00:00, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Overall: Everything checks out, and the promoter can choose the hook unless the nominator chooses a main preference. SL93 (talk) 01:42, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

I have a slight preference for ALT0 but I think they'd all be good. Promotor's choice! (By the way, SL93, if you leave the |eligibilityother=, |policyother=, and |hookother= params in the review empty, it cleans things up a bit. I believe those specific ones are only meant to be used if there is an issue. Thanks for reviewing!) Bsoyka (t • c • g) 02:28, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
