Overall: @Tim O'Doherty: Good article. But, is the hook really that interesting? Maybe something better could be proposed. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:53, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: How about: ... that Edward VI was only nine years old on the day of his coronation? Tim O'Doherty (talk) 17:58, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Approve. Though May 6 is already filled so I'm unsure if this can be placed there. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:10, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sadly the discussion about May 6 went sideways. I will check this one out for promotion. Bruxton (talk) 15:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
