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

Article appears to meet DYK criteria – new enough, long enough, appears well-sourced and neutral. The hook is sourced, interesting, and of appropriate length; Earwig flags no plagiarism. Good to go! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 05:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
