Just realised we could have this on the mainpage on its anniversary on 1 March, so would request a special occasion slot, hook could be modified to indicate the significance of the date - Dumelow (talk) 12:57, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New article that was moved to mainspace on 7 February 2022‎‎ is 8,474 characters long and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected (AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 123 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 18 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source. QPQ done. Image is free and in the public domain. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 04:45, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

~~Note that I will move the hook to the Special occasion holding area after it gets added to WP:DYKNA.~~ Please ping me if you want to add something along the lines of "151 years ago today" to the hook. —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:27, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Bloom6132, I was offline yesterday. Yes, I think your wording or adding "1 March" to the hook to make the link clear would be good - Dumelow (talk) 06:34, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dumelow: no worries! I've made the change. —Bloom6132 (talk) 07:07, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
