• Going to review this one! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 13:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Article is new enough, having been moved from draftspace on October 12.
  • Three times the required length, certainly long enough.
  • Very well sourced, copyvio doesn't show anything substantial, no POV or BLP issues to be found.
  • Article is presentable. If we want to quibble on the details, the second picture is staggered from the infobox on V10, but that's not the kind of presentability issue that really matters at DYK.
  • Thankfully, the book is in open access! The first hook is fully cited there, and the second one is mostly cited there, although it does not mention that the will was drafted prior to him becoming Attorney General. To be fair, as Hopkins died two years prior, the inference is pretty obvious.
  • Both hooks are short enough.
  • The first hook is not necessarily amazing, as it already presumes knowledge of what a state's attorney in a city is (I didn't realize it was a distinct position from "attorney general" at first), and it isn't that surprising that someone drafting a constitution would get one of the offices it established. ALT1 is more interesting in my opinion, although it might depend on how recognizable Johns Hopkins is.
  • All images used in the article are public domain, and the hook image is present in the article and clear at a diminished size, so it is a good image.
  • QPQ has been done ahead of time.
  • No other issues, as far as I can see.
• Should be fine for ALT1 at least! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 13:28, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
