Depiction of the Danum shield

• New enough, long enough (!), neutral, no copyvio, has inline citations. It's a long article, I'll give it a proper look over later today and confirm, but on a first pass this will be good to go - nice work. GirthSummit _(blether) 16:11, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
• QPQ is done, hooks are sourced, of appropriate length, and interesting - my preference is the one about the bonfire, that seems hookier. Source is behind a paywall, but happy to AGF. Good to go. GirthSummit _(blether) 17:05, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
