The article is long enough, new enough, and neutral with reliable sources. There are no copyright violations. There are a few issues. The part with "now-famous memo" has an external link, and external links should not be in the article's body. The last part of the Cancellation section needs to be referenced. As for the hook, the article actually says, "it would have been the premier supercomputer of the era". Conway likely was referring to the world, but the quoted words do no say that.

@SL93: fixed! Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:12, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Maury Markowitz: The part with "now-famous memo" has an external link, and external links should not be in the article's body. I can approve it once that is taken care of. SL93 (talk) 00:15, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: This does not appear to be a reason to hold up DYK, but whatever, changed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:29, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want people complaining to me about letting an error I saw appear on the main page. I don't see why you have an issue. Approved. SL93 (talk) 00:36, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
