Overall: Article seems succinct and sweet. The nom sneaks in at seven days since creation, so good job on the timing! Have done a little change and it would be good to have more info on his history before moving to Wisconsin, but it's good for DYK right now. Pretzelles (talk) 16:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
