Interesting story, and fine to have it in two articles, on few but good sources, offline source accepted AGF. I like the hook but think that "World War I" right before the "?" makes reading a bit difficult, - how about saying "First World War", or give a year and just say "World War" (because at the time it was the only one). How about mentioning "in Vilnius", for interest. For DYK formality, perhaps mention the "first" also in the publisher's article, and have a ref right after the sentence. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:46, 11 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
