Comment: ALT0 requires running December 31. An article on a secondary daily paper that we surprisingly just did not have at all.

Created by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 04:48, 25 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Nominated for DYK on the same day it was created, and is about 5000 bytes, satisfying date and length criteria. The statement "sold its equipment to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville" is not supported by the associated reference. Some of the details in the penultimate paragraph (from "On December 2, 1991" to "by the Persis-owned Daily Times") are not present in the attached source, but are in this one. Hooks are suitable and sourced (albeit, ALT0 uses "106-year run" whereas the article states the years 1885 and 1991, and "December 31, 1991" instead of "30 years ago today", but I assume these are fine as they rely on simple date math). QPQ completed. Once the minor sourcing glitch is fixed, this will be ready to go. Mind matrix 16:50, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mindmatrix: Done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:23, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go, but I also added a citation to a an extant ref for one claim, as the claim did not appear in the previously attached source. If ALT0 is chosen, it should be held for December 31. Mind matrix 17:47, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
