Improved to Good Article status by BeanieFan11 (talk). Nominated by Lightburst (talk) at 18:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Oliver C. Dawson; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Approved: nice article, long enough, GA passed recently, and generally in good shape. Hook is short, interesting and sourced. QPQ is done. No other issues that I can see to keep this article off the front page: a good piece of work. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 15:00, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
