Crim Dell bridge on William & Mary's campus

... that lovers on the campus of the College of William & Mary should cross the Crim Dell bridge (pictured) together, but may wish to avoid retiring to the Grim Dell "mattress"?

- Comment: I would really enjoy if this hook ran on Valentine's Day on 14 February 2024.

Created by Pbritti (talk). Self-nominated at 02:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Campus of the College of William & Mary; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

This is not a review, just a comment, but as is the special occasion request might not be granted right now as the nomination was started on December 12. February 14, 2024 is beyond the normal six-week limitation for special occasion requests. If there is still a desire to have this hook run on Valentine's Day, an IAR exemption could be requested at WT:DYK, but there is no guarantee that such a request would be granted (though from experience, WT:DYK tends to be somewhat liberal with regards to IAR exemptions as long as there's a good reason).

New review needed. Considering that it is now Jan 25, I would be OK with moving this to SOHA if this is approved and the reviewer thinks it is a good idea. Z1720 (talk) 19:11, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New enough and long enough. QPQ present. No textual issues. Worth noting neither of the linked refs above mention the "mattress", but [1] does and is in the article. Everything checks out, and I would not object to this running on February 14. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:10, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
