Created on October 6, and nominated at DYK five days afterward (with mandatory QPQ given by seasoned nominator); 612 words in length prosewise at this writing (from 3643 bytes). A concern (per PMC's later commentary below) is that the GBooks preview differs from the article text, which says "traces the origin...to the 11th century" instead. Although Earwig returns a 59.7% score by way of StackExchange (thanks to the inclusion of this extract from the General Instruction of the Roman Missal), the text in question is blockquoted. I find the hook 90% interesting, though. This may be good to go unless another editor expresses concerns.--Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?)21:01, 14 October 2024 (UTC)07:11, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Coming here from the QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/Hammond's Hard Lines. The hook here doesn't match the text - the hook says the practice "has been traced back to the 12th century", but the article text says that that academic "traces the origin...to the 11th century". ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:05, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Slgrandson and Premeditated Chaos: Thank you for time and the kind review. PMC, you are of course correct, this was an error or typo on my part. It should read "11th century". I corrected it above. WatkynBassett (talk) 20:07, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
