Improved to Good Article status by Llewee (talk). Self-nominated at 12:06, 17 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Victorian era; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Support. Would also be nice to know what that number was towards the end of the era in the DYK note. Nerd271 (talk) 15:04, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Article was nominated within 7 days of passing GAR. Article is long enough, neutral, and cites reliable sources. Only pings on Earwigs are for properly attributed quotes. Hooks are short enough, cited, and interesting; AGF on offline sources. Image feels somewhat superfluous and doesn't really reproduce well at a small size, but it is properly licensed. Nominator is QPQ exempt. Morgan695 (talk) 16:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
