5x expanded by Therapyisgood (talk). Self-nominated at 19:13, 8 March 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Article satisfies the length and recency requirements with a 5x-plus expansion on March 8. Earwig check does not disclose any problems with copyright violation or unduly close paraphrasing. Article is reasonably well-written, cited, and neutral. The hook is short enough and supported by in-line citations. The hook is a little on the "meh" side with respect to eligibility criteria 3 ("interesting to a broad audience"), but about on par with the average DYK. QPQ needs to be completed before this can be green-ticked. Cbl62 (talk) 20:54, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Cbl62 and Therapyisgood: happy to donate a QPQ if needed :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 23:07, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Theleekycauldron: I already reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Lloyd Madden after the reviewer left the review, should be OK now. Therapyisgood (talk) 23:08, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok to go. Cbl62 (talk) 23:57, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
