A fact from John Barefoot appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 June 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that John Barefoot's catalogue of British Commonwealth revenue stamps grew from 142 to more than 500 pages between its first and tenth editions as new stamps were discovered?

No further edits should be made to this page.
... that John Barefoot's catalogue of British Commonwealth revenue stamps(pictured) grew from 142 to over 500 pages between its first and tenth editions as new stamps were discovered?
ALT1:... that stamp dealer John Barefoot described his specialism of revenue stamps as "fat-free" as they were not designed to exploit collectors?
This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, though I prefer ALT1. The image is a book cover and I am not sure that it is correctly licensed, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done.
