I will correct the hook citation i think there were two wales online citations. Also will add other missing citations. Nejaby (talk) 08:58, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Citation in hook corrected (had wrong Wales online article) Citations added for the other queries. Is this okay now? Thanks Nejaby (talk) 19:44, 16 March 2018 (UTC) @Lionelt:

  • Looks good! All issues resolved this is approved. Congratulations on your first DYK! I forgot to add to the review that the photo checked out as PD. Also, I took the liberty and made a minor edit to the hook which you can discard of you like. "nee" is unnecessary. This is for extra credit: I recommend that you rename the article and drop the "nee." – Lionel(talk) 02:36, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
