 * Symbol confirmed.svg Date, length, sources, hook all check out. Good to go. Gobōnobo  + c 05:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * The centenary of Brown's founding of the Maynesboro Stud will be celebrated on September 15, 2012. Propose holding until that date, possibly with a different hook (requires separate approval). Gobōnobo  + c 07:51, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * ALT1: ... that Arabian horse breeder William Robinson Brown founded the Maynesboro Stud 100 years ago?
 * As the approver proposed the alt, he's obviously good with it. Pumpkin Sky   talk  09:48, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * If this runs for DYK on or within 24 hours of the day they are celebrating the 100th anniversary (Sept 15) that would be the best hook.  Otherwise, the other one is probably more "hooky." I'm OK with either one, though.  Montanabw (talk) 21:45, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
