General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: a) There is a "newness" problem, but perhaps you can explain it. b) I prefer Alt 1. c) as to the image, note that: "You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use." 2603:7000:2101:AA00:5DFC:4931:AA8F:8FB5 (talk) 22:52, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP, thanks for the review. Sorry, this got mistakenly listed as "created" on 6 August. It should actually be "moved to mainspace" on that date. It was previously worked on in my userspace and was moved to mainspace on 6 August in this edit. This scenario is covered at Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Guidelines#Newness "For DYK purposes, an article is considered new if, within the last seven days the article has been ... moved from userspace or draftspace into mainspace". As to the image the license, origin and changes is available on the image page, this is reachable by clicking on it which has always been considered "reasonable" on Wikipedia.

Thanks for your thoughtful and calm explanation. This sounds good to me - I'll just ask the promoter to double check me on it (since I'm not expert in this area), but I'll approve it. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:F1DD:10BF:ED62:6A15 (talk) 05:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
