... that Winston Churchill painted Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque, his only painting of World War II, at the Villa Taylor? Source: Sir Winston Churchill's Life Through His Paintings (2003), David Coombs (p=163)

@KJP1: New enough and long enough. QPQ needed. I'd consider changing "the war" to "World War II" for context in the hook. AGF offline cite (it is not Coombs p163 but Gilbert p314 that the article has). A tick will be granted when you have a QPQ; ping me then.

Sammi Brie - Many thanks indeed. Have adopted your suggestion on WWII. Re. the cite for the hook, both are accurate but I can certainly flip it to the Gilbert if required. I have done a QPQ here, Template:Did you know nominations/Kuzych v White. Unfortunately, I’m rather a DYK novice, and I’m not sure I’ve closed it correctly? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

@KJP1:

It needs a tick template, either DYKtick or DYKtickAGF depending on your ability to read the hook source, to be marked as approved. These templates are substed. I just used the AGF one to close out this nom. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:13, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Current use - and an image

Does anyone have any reliable sources regarding its current use. There’s some debate as to whether or not it is now run as a riad. Also, an image would be a great addition. KJP1 (talk) 06:16, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
