State Auto's Christmas Corner display circa 1935

... that State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company's "Christmas Corner" holiday display, initially created in 1931 as a "Christmas Card to the Community", has donated its life-size nativity scene to the Museum of Catholic Art and History for display at St. Joseph Cathedral?

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

@Maximilian775: New and long enough, within policy, Earwig detects no copyvios, QPQ done. Hook is too long at 273 characters. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 01:02, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey, @Antony-22 and Maximilian775: what do you both think of this possible ALT1:
  - ALT1 ... that State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company's life-size nativity scene, made in 1931, was donated to the Museum of Catholic Art and History in 2023 for display at St. Joseph Cathedral?
- It cuts down on the character count and corrects a minor verb-related grammar issue. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:52, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Maximilian775 and Pbritti: Nice improvement, but according to the article and sources, the Nativity display was created in the 1960s (two sources say 1962, this source says 1966). You also might consider using "State Auto Mutual" to tighten it further. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 18:57, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Maximilian775 and Pbritti: Just waiting for correction to hook. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 17:38, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
