These two articles are new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright issues.

- Template:U, that's done for Thackeray. For Wood, I can't do better than the citation from Alumni Oxonienses that he was eighteen in April 1861, so I have made his date of birth "c. 1842". Moonraker (talk) 19:40, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
