:* [[File:Symbol question.svg|16px]] Nominated day after creation, so new enough. At 3k+ prose it is more than twice long enough. Article written in neutral manner. Each sentence has an inline citation. No copying or close paraphrasing found, matches in Earwig are only for proper nouns or for phrases such as "block of four" which can not be modified, else the most common language. Original hook is neutrally worded and within guidelines, however I believe that as a United States topic American spelling should be used (center instead of centre.) Citation is directly cited in article to reliable source. I think the reference to "Upside Down Man" would be compelling to the average reader. The ALT1 hook is likewise reviewed, but I find the phrasing more difficult to follow, and it is not as interesting. The hook image does not show in detail at smaller size, but it does invite a closer look. It is clearly in the public domain. Altogether this article is ready for main page exposure except for spelling of one word.

Created by Philafrenzy (talk) and Whispyhistory (talk). Nominated by Philafrenzy (talk) at 19:43, 17 February 2019 (UTC).
Nominated day after creation, so new enough. At 3k+ prose it is more than twice long enough. Article written in neutral manner. Each sentence has an inline citation. No copying or close paraphrasing found, matches in Earwig are only for proper nouns or for phrases such as "block of four" which can not be modified, else the most common language. Original hook is neutrally worded and within guidelines, however I believe that as a United States topic American spelling should be used (center instead of centre.) Citation is directly cited in article to reliable source. I think the reference to "Upside Down Man" would be compelling to the average reader. The ALT1 hook is likewise reviewed, but I find the phrasing more difficult to follow, and it is not as interesting. The hook image does not show in detail at smaller size, but it does invite a closer look. It is clearly in the public domain.
