- ALT1: ... that even though Faith and Confidence (pictured) by William C. Beall won the 1958 Pulitzer Prize for photography, the jurors who selected it were unimpressed by all of the entries? Source: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Picture_Coverage_of_the_World/Dw0Gx8XsWdUC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Faith+and+Confidence+photo&pg=PA38&printsec=frontcover unimpressed by the entries and said no single picture impressed us as being outstanding.]

- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Yule cat
- Comment: Second QPQ for double hook Template:Did you know nominations/Nikolauskirche (Oberndorf) I will also continue to polish the articles.
Created by Bruxton (talk). Self-nominated at 03:27, 28 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Faith and Confidence; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Both articles are new enough and long enough. Sources are excellent. Neutral. No copyvio issues (Earwig gives a score of 30% for Faith and Confidence, and 16.7% for Beall, but it's due to quotes and proper nouns). Hooks are cited and interesting, and I like the main hook. I think the image is in the public domain. Both QPQs are done. Good job!
