General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting hook, but the sources should be replaced to show the updated fundraising amount. The picture used in the article is not freely licensed, and does not meet the fair-use criteria (pictures of living people can generally be freely created).

Thanks DHN. I have amended the article so that there is now a BBC-sourced citation for the £1.7m final figure. In light of the lack of a Commons-licensed image, I hadn't envisaged use of one in the DYK. Paul W (talk) 13:59, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul W: Thanks for updating the sources. I meant that the image shouldn't be used in the article at all, since it doesn't qualify for fair use (could easily be replaced by a freely-licensed image). DHN (talk) 18:22, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification, DHN. The image was added by another editor. I have removed it from the article. Paul W (talk) 13:36, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
