Article is new enough, long enough, neutral and free of copyright violations (9.9% similarity). No QPQ required as nominator has less than 5 DYK nominations. However, (for ALT1) the hook fact doesn't have a citation at the end of the sentence, as required by WP:DYKHFC, so a citation needs to be added. Also, although not a problem for DYK, the article only has a lead and history section and could be divided further, like your other article. And another thing, why not consider adding an image to this nom, as you did with that one? JuniperChill (talk) 22:55, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Partly done For now, I added two subsections in the "History" section; its service in the UK and the US. I added the two quotes to support the quote about Michigan. I'll add the image in a moment. Jude Halley talk/contribs 23:26, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Done Added the image from the infobox. Jude Halley talk/contribs 23:31, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
Thank you. Its safe to say that I'm now going to accept this. JuniperChill (talk) 13:12, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
