- article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. Hook is short enough and interesting. I prefer ALT0 as the most interesting and engaging to a broader audience. No photo provided on the nomination.SoWhy, let me know when QPQ is complete, and this should be good to go. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:59, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

A fact from Elsie Joy Davison appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 August 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
|
Being an experienced pilot, Davison was quickly sent on a conversion course on how to fly fighter jets
"Being an experienced pilot, Davison was quickly sent on a conversion course on how to fly fighter jets" is, in my view, impossible. The first British jet fighter did not fly until 1941 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloster_Aircraft_Company#1941_%E2%80%93_Arrival_of_the_Turbojet).
I'm reluctant to change it myself as it's got a citation and I don't have access to the book being cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Southof40 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- Was in the process of adding the dubious tag to the article for this reason at the same time you were making this comment. Dpmuk (talk) 00:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
