  • Comment: Expanded in recent days, 5x per DYK Check (and that's without 1036 additional characters not counted by DYK check per known issue with bulleted lines).

Sorry for so many hooks, but there are many angles to the Poddle. 7th nomination, QPQ applicable and performed a couple of weeks back - Template:Did you know nominations/Konrad Rupf

5x expanded by SeoR (talk). Self-nominated at 21:23, 21 February 2021 (UTC).

  • This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are largely cited inline (but not ALT6), the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. You have had exactly five DYKs and now need to do a QPQ. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:29, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Thank you. This nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

SeoR, I went to promote this, but see that there are a number of "citation needed" tags. These will need to be sorted before it can run. MeegsC (talk) 14:01, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

  • Thanks. I see two, will check for more, and will ping when done. SeoR (talk) 17:05, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Hi MeegsC, thanks again, all citations handled. SeoR (talk) 23:13, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Replacing tick. All hooks approved apart from ALT6. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:01, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • SeoR "and the powers were later in turn transferred to Dublin Corporation." in the The Poddell (Poddle) Commission section appears to be unreferenced. It might be in reference 29, but that reference is a broken link. SL93 (talk) 02:07, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Thanks SL93, strange how quickly a link can go dead - I have now replaced it with a reference to the law itself, which I finally located in volume form, and added a second reference to cover both that point and the onward transfer of powers to Dublin Corporation. SeoR (talk) 12:28, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Restoring approval. SL93 (talk) 13:38, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
