Journalistic[edit]

Journalistic is an adjective not a noun, so you could add an appropriate noun after it, or alternatively it could be changed to something like photojournalist as per the first source. Editrite! (talk) 01:40, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:33, 8 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The image licencing does not look right to me; the photograph was apparently taken in 1967 and so cannot be in the public domain for the reason given. A QPQ has been done. Request is for 5th April appearance. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:29, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
