Hi 97198, review follows: article created 29 July; article is well written and exceeds minimum length; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources I checked; a QPQ has been carried out; hook facts are interesting and the article states that "Strong performed one of the world's first reduced-size liver transplantations" but the extract you've provided above doesn't quite support that, is it clearer elsewhere? Happy to AGF that the source supports so will give this a tick in the meantime - Dumelow (talk) 12:13, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dumelow. The World Journal of Surgery has a long section that supports the statement you've quoted from the article but I have a PDF version that I couldn't copy/paste an excerpt from for the purposes of the DYK template, so I added a quote from another source above to verify the hook fact. Hope that's okay. 97198 (talk) 12:37, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
