• This article, created on 4 March, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. QPQ done. No copyvio or BLP issues. I think DYK has some room for astonishing links, especially in the quirky slot, and for a quote as good as this. @Chetsford: The image probably cannot run, as it would divert readers from the bolded article into a side article (per WP:DYKIMG), however, without it we can't tell that Franks is an American general, so how about as an ALT:

ALT1: ... that US general Tommy Franks reportedly didn't have time to become an expert on the Danish Air Force?

Let me know what you think. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 17:55, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

The ALT looks good to me - thank you, Tenpop421! Chetsford (talk) 22:16, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Hook interesting, in article, cited, and citation checks out. GTG. Tenpop421 (talk) 22:41, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
