• No QPQ needed. Article is in decent shape, long enough, and is fully sourced with no evidence of copyvio. The sources check out and seem appropriate magnitude for a "first (X)" hook, and are also used for the hook in-article. Hook is pretty interesting. Looks good to me!

Name

Hi @Samoht27: I hope you don't mind, but I've renamed this to simply "Les Purce", which seems to match what the sources in the article call him, even though his full name started with Thomas. If you object to this please let me know and we can discuss further. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 15:12, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
