- Comment (not a review) – two thoughts on the image. Firstly, and this isn't your fault at all, this is obviously an image by cartoonist Toby Morris; it's unmistakably his drawing style. I'm most surprised that he wasn't credited on Commons (I've fixed that). Secondly, I don't think it's suitable for the mainpage as it's got a caption that is part of the file, and it's way too tiny to read. Maybe it would look better if it got cropped as there is a lot of whitespace around the image. Maybe the caption should be cropped off. But either way, in its current state, I suggest it's not suitable. Schwede66 09:12, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
New enough (when it was nominated), long enough, QPQ done. Thoroughly sourced (maybe more thoroughly than I would choose; each sentence is separately footnoted, even when the same footnote is repeated for consecutive sentences, but not problematic for DYK). Earwig found only properly marked quotes as copied. Topical and interesting hook, within rules, properly sourced in article. I'm not a WP:MEDRS expert but the medical claims in the "background" section appear to be properly reliable and secondary; the rest of the article does not fall under MEDRS. I'm not convinced the infobox image is relevant enough to include, but again that's not actually a DYK issue. Good to go, without the image (as the earlier comment states, the image is not suitable for the front page at DYK sizes). —David Eppstein (talk) 02:38, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
