  • Comment: This is my 4th DYK.

• Hi there. I will review this DYK. I elect for ALT1. The article was sufficiently expanded. The hook was confirmed by a reliable source. No QPQ cause this is still your 4th nomination. Length is 175 characters so it is within the hook criteria. No copyright violations with the photo. Trillfendi (talk) 06:17, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Hi, thanks! I appreciate your time and comments. ALT1 is my favorite and may be the most interesting, with two additional links, skydiving and Elizabeth II, to hook someone. Eewilson (talk) 12:04, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Trillfendi Is there anything I need to do before it goes from a grey check to a green check? That part is a bit confusing. If so, let me know. Thank you again for your time. Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 21:54, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
