Created by Ficaia (talk). Self-nominated at 21:10, 9 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Rape of Lucretia (Ficherelli); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article's new enough and long enough. The "story" section needs its last few sentences sourced; this is a mythology with various versions so I wouldn't apply WP:PLOTCITE here. I'd imagine that at least part of #1 (the source) actually refers to the information in the image rather than the webpage. The text however implies that the servant (not: slave) is aware that he'll be the fall guy, while the source explicitly says he isn't. Which source mentions Guido Cagnacci? #4 needs some more detail to know who this is. I figure it is Livius or Livy but it isn't self-evident. Didn't notice any copyvio or plagiarism. Hook is interesting, sourced in the article and image seems OK to me. QPQ is fairly basic. No guarantee that putting a rape-related DYK on the main page will pass muster, though.

- @Jo-Jo Eumerus: (1) I've added another reference to Livy in the 'Story' section. (2) 'Servant' is a bowdlerisation, but I've reworked the sentences a bit. (3) Cagnacci is mentioned here (already cited in the article). 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 17:02, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

- @Ficaia and Jo-Jo Eumerus: Should the hook say "artist" - painter may not be the right word. I understand why we cannot name the artist in the hook since the work can be attributed to either Felice Ficherelli or Guido Cagnacci. Bruxton (talk) 18:13, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
