Overall: @Toadboy123: Hi! There are certain concerns related to your nomination for the subject entry for DYK that require your attention and resolution. Article is new [created on April 7, 2023], and long enough [4434 characters (780 words)], neutral, cited, [Earwig's score is 46.5%]. The hook is good, as your 7th nomination, you are required to provide a QPQ, which is currently missing. Thanks RV (talk) 02:27, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

@RV Thanks for the review of my article as part of the DYK nomination. As per the issues you stated following the review, I did make some edits as per what you stated. I added the image, which was included in the DYK nomination, into the article where I also added a detailed caption regarding it. As per QPQ, I will hopefully get it done by tomorrow or day after tomorrow, as I am currently busy with my university assignment workload before the start of Easter holidays.

@User:Toadboy123 Thanks! Your recent edits indicate that the required picture has been added, so I have removed my related comments. Please take your time to complete the QPQ process and put in the effort to reduce [Earwig's score which is 46.5%]. RV (talk) 03:06, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

@RV I managed to make edits which managed to reduce the Earwig's score of the article to 36.7%. I will hopefully get the QPQ done soon. Toadboy123 (talk) 07:29, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
