New enough, large enough, Earwig checks out, article generally well looks good. The "like a wet blanket" line isn't in the article, though. There's a lot of great hook material in here - maybe something about him having Newton, Wordsworth, and Volatire in the scene set far before they were born, or the caricatures of his self-promotion?

Just confirmed that the line is in the article. Look to the direct left of the "Burma gets aid" headline on the same newspaper page. Maximilian775 (talk) 04:34, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Maximilian775 I meant that it isn't the wikipedia article. My understanding is that all DYK hooks must use information fully contained in the article. Rusalkii (talk) 22:12, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Incorporated wet blanket phrase into article. Maximilian775 (talk) 23:04, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, missed this. Looks good now. Rusalkii (talk) 06:40, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing ::ALT1 ... that after being sold due to its creator's bankruptcy, Benjamin Haydon's painting Christ's Entry into Jerusalem was cut from its frame and dragged "like a wet blanket" to save it from a fire? -- Just changing "work" to "painting" to make the nature of the art clearer!
