• I have reviewed this nomination for QPQ credit. The boldlinked article Bob Comfort appears to be new, of sufficient length, and adequately sourced. The hook is interesting, properly cited, and neutral in tone. 8321Leo (talk) 14:04, 2 December 2025 (UTC)
  • as per Charles Throsby Smith’s nom page, the first edit being a DYK review is not recommended by @Launchballer:. Roast (talk) 18:33, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Given the similarity of "0093Lisa" and "8321Leo", I'm inclined to think they're the same person. -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 19:50, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

At least from the same group. Launchballer assumed it was WikiEd. Roast (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
• Other problems: - Just as a minor point of concern, "sergeant" is misspelled both in hook ALT1 and the article (in both Canadian and American English, "sergeant" is the correct spelling). I have fixed this.

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting: - I find ALT1 and ALT2 interesting. While ALT0 is funny with context, I agree that you should clarify his occupation, as it doesn't make much sense without it.

QPQ: Done.
