Horace Niall

  • ... that Horace Niall was a speaker of the parliament – and an executioner?
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Warren Truitt
  • Comment: To do QPQs within a day or two. Apologies for being slightly late, hopefully this can be excused per WP:DYKG: The seven-day limit can be extended for a day or two upon request.
Moved to mainspace by BeanieFan11 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 372 past nominations.

  • Regardless of the QPQ, which I feel should've been done before the nomination, this article appears to have been moved to mainspace eight days before the nomination, a day over the seven-day deadline. Unfortunately, this means this article is right now ineligible for DYK. If you still want to nominate this article for DYK, I recommend first nominating it for WP:GA; a successful nomination will make the article eligible for DYK again.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Article moved from draft 4 June 2025 and nominated on 12 June 2025. Per WP:DYKG, the seven-day limit on nominating an article can be relaxed by a day or two. The article is of sufficient length. Per Earwig comes up as 1.0%, which is no great surprise given that most of the citations are from newspapers.com. Though Ewarwig wouldn't pick up any copyvios from newspapers.com, of the citations I did read I didn't see any close paraphrasing. Hook is supported by a reference. QPQ is done. Good to go.
