Slack; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Hi Hog Farm (talk), review follows: article promoted to GA on 24 March; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; sources are mostly offline so AGF on close paraphrasing, I did take a quick look at Bridges (1951) which is on JSTOR and found no issues; article is well written; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and cited, AGF on offline sourcing (though Bridges also confirms the fact); image is used in article and correctly licensed; a QPQ is ongoing - Dumelow (talk) 08:21, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Just a thought, this could run on the anniversary of the promotion on 17 April with the possible addition of "161 years ago today" to the hook- Dumelow (talk) 08:23, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
