Comment is there supposed to be an alt1? Heythereimaguy (talk) 14:34, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- No... but feel free to offer one if you are so moved. Victuallers (talk) 14:15, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've added an ALT, renumbering the blank ALT1 to ALT0a. I rearranged the original hook because it could be read to have an unintended sexual interpretation: that those lucky 700 airmen all received not only the Cross, but they received Ida too. (At least I think it was unintended. Maybe the ambiguity was intended to make an attention-grabbing hook.) MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 22:22, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - No that was not my intention - I never saw that interpretation. Thanks for the tidy up. Victuallers (talk) 14:18, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

article is big and new enough, was written by the person that claims credit. It is fully referenced and is not a copyright infringement. It does not appear biased. (One comment is that there should not be internal links to the Dutch Wikipedia. Instead these should be redlinks to English language articles as the topics are likely notable. But this does not affect DYK). Image is included, clear enough in miniature and is public domain. The hook does appear in the article, and is referenced. On of the references: "The Name “United States of America”" appears to have nothing to do with the topic as it was written in 1925. The other reference says over 600 men, rather than 700. But also says only woman in 731 men. So hook is confirmed. On QPQ front, it was done and this is the second of three. Only the first has been used so far. So I am going to reclassify this as good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:23, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
