Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 196 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.Maury Markowitz (talk) 23:28, 15 April 2024 (UTC).
- Article definitely long enough and presentable (although is almost entirely sourced to one source, so introducing other sources would probably be advisable.) The hook is verifiable by searching "nails and wire" on the Google Books page. Still needs the QPQ for official sign off, of course. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 23:01, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, as written, this would deserve {{more sources needed}}, so definitely needs more sources.--Launchballer 10:46, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Generalissima: Sorry, no pings on this one and I forgot about it. QPQ 2024 Loblaw boycott Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I added an image to the article which might be suitable if cropped. I don't see any others for this day with an image, is it worth adding? Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
Good to go as at the current juncture, though Launchballer's point that a more sources needed tag could very well get added is salient. I'd recommend doing a little more digging just to flesh this out if possible. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 15:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- As a DYK promoter, I would be inclined to think that at least one more source needs to be added, a concern that Launchballer expressed earlier. Also, the wiki article doesn't make it clear that the quote was stated by one Army Air Corps member. PrimalMustelid (talk) 01:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- @PrimalMustelid: added cite changed wording. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:42, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Better. Does the Description section need a source?--Launchballer 15:26, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- I think the first sentences need to either be merged with another paragraph or be cited. PrimalMustelid (talk) 19:50, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
