• New enough and long enough. QPQ present. This guy has done a whole lot of stuff! Note that the headshot is currently nominated for deletion as copyvio on Commons and should not be used; the pole image is, however, usable. The hook facts all check out and are neutral and interesting. Earwig does flag a few passages from the official bio, but almost all are organization names and I think possible copying from this page. No other issues I see. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:55, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
