  • ... that surgeon Herbert Haxton was the first to demonstrate that the patella was not just to protect the knee but also important for straightening the leg.[1]?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article meets eligibility criteria (newness, length). Article is well sourced. Tone of the article is neutral and has no issues. Article scores a tad high ~40% on Earwig's copyvio check. However, most of the terms are medical terms, and or terms that are referenced as is. Will request the editor to check this once again in good faith. Hook has been sourced to a physical book, and Google books has some preview pages. Seems to be rightly sourced. But, will WP:AGF for accuracy. Hook is reasonably interesting. Question to nominator: Any reason why the lede has the Patella called out as kneecap in the lede but not in the body of the article? It will be good to link the two. Similarly, my thinking is that adding kneecap to the DYK hook might make it understandable for the common layperson. Let me know of your thoughts. QPQ is done. Approving ALT 2.2 per discussion below.

  • Thank you @Ktin:... changed to kneecap... It's in the Bedi reference, but have added the original article. Not sure about "first" but how is this?
  • Thanks much. I was thinking this one through last night, and was wondering if we should drop the word "first," unless there is an explicit source that says so. In looking at your hooks, I think ALT2 (sans 'first') would be great to go.
