- ALT1: ... that plotters met at Ye Olde White Harte pub (pictured) in Hull to remove the town's Catholic governor in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution of 1688? Source: "recent research has confirmed that the Old White Hart was the residence of the deputy-governor of Hull in 1688, and the location of the meeting to plot the overthrow of the Catholic governor, appointed by James II, following the arrival of William of Orange in England in November 1688.

Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 17:48, 23 December 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Added to mainspace recently and appropriate prose size. Neutral, cites sources, no copyvios or plagiarism. Hook is correctly formatted, neutral, cited within the article, and pretty darn interesting. QPQ is most likely good, no image linked. This DYK nomination is good, but a note for @Dumelow: on the article itself: the article only uses three citations, one of which can't be accessed online. I suggest finding more citations and finding a digitized version of the referenced Private Eye column. Very nice job! sign for User:MyCatIsAChonk 03:02, 27 December 2022‎
