New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook is interesting and backed up by the clipping in the source. No textual issues. I approve, but Muboshgu, please clip the remaining 20 or so newspapers.com citations that are unclipped links. I did make a couple tweaks to clip one or two and also to consolidate the May 11, 1920, Sacramento Bee article that spans two clippings into one citation.

- Thanks! I'm still clipping. WP:NODEADLINE and all. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:38, 14 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
  - Yeah, I figured. Wanted to at least point you to how to do the multi-clipping citations, since those require a bit of care (and I'm quite familiar with them myself). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:41, 14 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
    - Sammi Brie I see how you did that. I think this is the first time I've cited two pages for one article, and I'll use how you did it as a guide going forward. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:45, 14 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
