• Ooh, Stonewall! Article eligibility and condition checks out, became a good article a few days ago. I like the ALT0 here best, though I would suggest linking those names. Assuming good faith on the sourcing. Obviously, going to have to wait til the QPQ is resolved to officially check this off. And I think June 28 would be a wonderful day for this hook.

      • @Epicgenius and Generalissima:, as it is over six weeks until the proposed date (and was something like ten weeks at nomination approval) an exemption needs to be obtained at WT:DYK per WP:DYKSO. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
        • I started a discussion on WT:DYK, which has been archived. From the comments there, I think there was a consensus to allow the request, but since there were only 3 commenters, feel free to correct me if this needs more discussion. Epicgenius (talk) 01:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
