5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 21:46, 24 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

The well-written bio is long enough, having been expanded 5x since 22 June 2022, AGF for print sources, no copyvio or other issues detected. Hook short enough, well-chosen (hooky!), cited inline, and again AGF since it's sourced to a print book. It's a superb expansion of a worthy subject. Besides, probably no other WP bio has ever referred both to "pigsticking" and "mountebank"! GTG. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:30, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
