DYK for John Vickers (abolitionist)

On 19 January 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John Vickers (abolitionist), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Quaker abolitionist John Vickers hid fugitive slaves in the kiln where he made pottery? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John Vickers (abolitionist). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, John Vickers (abolitionist)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
