Capture of the Dutch fleet at Den Helder[edit]
- ... that the capture of the Dutch fleet at Den Helder (illustrated) is the only time in military history to have seen a naval fleet captured by a cavalry charge?

Length is okay, but the Hook is not cited in the article. Page has no apparent sources listed and is lacking a References section and also has no Bibliography or Sources section. -- Gwillhickers 23:50, 6 September 2013 (UTC)- Page was created 20 May 2013 and was merely renamed on 6 September 2013, with no 5x expansion. -- Gwillhickers 17:43, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- Hey, the move to article space counts as the date for creation. AFC or sandbox moves to an article count as the date moved. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:01, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for that Graeme, the date rule, indeed all the DYK rules, always seem awfully bureaucratic to me. But I will admit the article could be better referenced. I have no particular inclination to do that so I am willing to let the nomination lapse. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:30, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
