- Comment: Last appeared as a bold link on December 28, 2020 at OTD. Per the rules "It is also ineligible if it has, within the year prior to nomination, appeared as a boldlink..." so it should be fine.

- Comment (not review): Onegreatjoke, the verb in ALT0 should be crowned, not coronated, per the article and British English. TSventon (talk) 19:52, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Article has achieved Good Article status. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. QPQ is done. Hooks are interesting and sourced. I like the primary hook. Looks all ready to go. Would this be appropriate to run in May on the day King Charles is crowned? Thriley (talk) 21:04, 4 March 2023 (UTC)- Comment (not review): Agree with Thriley, would be great to run ALT0 on the day of the coronation (6th May) if that's possible. ALT1 would need a bit of rewriting- I keep trying to add a footnote to that part of the article explaining that we don't know for sure the remains buried as Edward V are really his, but alas my editing skills cannot yet pay the bills. ALT0 has my vote! JRennocks (talk) 19:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
