Created by ResonantDistortion (talk). Self-nominated at 22:16, 11 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gordon Ellis; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Hi ResonantDistortion (talk), review follows: article created 11 May and exceeds minimum length; I added a short lead to prevent the article being tagged (which would disqualify it); hook is interesting, I altered the wording slightly as "published his first commission" didn't read right to me, feel free to amend it; hook is mentioned in the article and cited offline, happy to AGF that the source supports this; article is cited inline throughout; sources used look reliable, I wasn't sure about HMSConway.org but its only used in conjunction with three other references so should be OK; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the online sources; a QPQ is not required. Looks good to me, nice work! - Dumelow (talk) 07:22, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
