What a great little article! Never heard of this before and I think most readers will find it intriguing. DYK Check shows 2300 chars of body, but that's not accounting for the names so I'm going to give it a definite bye. New enough, well cited, GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Maury Markowitz, EEHalli, the hooks need tweaking because they contain links to the disambiguation pages First World War and Government Code and Cypher School, can one of you fix them? TSventon (talk) 16:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

@TSventon: seems to have been fixed already. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:09, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
