[edit]
"Good evening Gentlemen, I dare say you did not expect me here. Can one get a night's lodging along with you?"

Improved to Good Article status by Auntieruth55 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:55, 3 April 2017 (UTC).
Article promoted to Good article on 3 April and DYK nominated on the same day. So fits the date range. The nominator has 5 Days so QPQ is required and not done yet. Original hook looks weird to me for some reason so I prefer ALT1. The source for the hook is from the offline book so assuming good faith as the article was GA passed recently. - Vivvt (Talk) 15:07, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- added link to pages. :) I wasn't sure I was supposed to do that. I like Alt1 better too.auntieruth (talk) 15:17, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Review
"Articles that have featured (bold link) previously on DYK, or in a blurb on the main page's In the news, or On this day sections are ineligible. (Articles linked at ITN or OTD not in bold, including the recent deaths section, are still eligible.)"
A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on December 5, 2008 and December 5, 2009. - Earwig is clear. No close paraphrasing or copy vios.
- Sorry to chime in. But this looks DOA to me. So you can do WP:QPQs and worry about timing, etc., but this is all 'rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic.'
- FWIW, it is a really worthy article. But the rules are (IMO) clear. Not eligible. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:57, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
