Created by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 23:33, 19 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Dragonesque brooch; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Forgot to include - new article started 16 December
New article, long enough, sourced throughout. Hook is sourced and mentioned in the article. Image displays clearly as a thumbnail and greatly enhances the hook so should be given the image slot. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 05:26, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Johnbod and Ficaia: Interesting article. I found the hook fact in the article and cited - the fact is found at the bottom of page 152. I think our hook does a good job of saying they might be hares. But our readers are likely going to be drawn in by dragons. Bruxton (talk) 15:07, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
