I changed the template of the image formally to {{PD-US-no notice}}. New enough, long enough, well referenced, image is all right, hook verified. Everything OK, good to go. Snek01 (talk) 21:58, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
- Template:Ping The lead has been expanded. There has been improvements made to the article and infobox.The hook is referenced in the article. Will that work for another green tick?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:02, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
- User:Krishna Chaitanya Velaga Per your suggestion, lead has been expanded. Thanks for adding the infobox. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:03, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

- Template:Ping We can do that.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 00:55, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Although typically, according to the WP:MOS and the usual format, citations aren't required (or even encouraged) in the lead. Those citations for the material you have now templated as "citation needed" are in the article's text. If you want them we can put them in. Not a deal breaker, but the larger style issue actually transcends this one article. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 00:44, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- I put in the additional citations per your requirement. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:13, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section#Citations suggests that redundant citations in the lead are not encouraged. Take a look. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:19, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- Template:Ping All issues have been resolved. Is that good for another green tick?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:30, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
