Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Srnec: The article was created on 11 March. It has a readable prose size of 1986 characters. Each paragraph has a reference. WP:EARWIG shows no copyright problems. The hook is interesting and supported by the quoted passage. QPQ was done.

By the way, it might be good to add a wikilink for the term "florilegium" in the lead since not all readers may not be aware of its meaning. Phlsph7 (talk) 10:51, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We are in WP:QPQ backlog mode. Double reviews are required.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:09, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. @Srnec: does this requirement apply to you since you have already nominated twenty or more articles? Phlsph7 (talk) 08:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, QPQ check says 14 nominations so this shouldn't be a problem. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The QPQ check tool to the right counts only 14. I don't really trust the QPQ tool that much because it barely counts 40% of my own nominations. But If the nominator feels that they have done less than 20 noms this can go forward or they can do the double. This case is on the honor system.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring original tick by Phlsph7; while I count 16 prior successful nominations, that is not 20, and this should not have been tagged for a second QPQ absent clear evidence that there were. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:04, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have way more than 20 DYKs over my time here. It's just 14 or 16 since QPQ was introduced. See User:Srnec/DYK. I see at least 96 pre-QPQ DYKs. I stopped doing DYK when QPQ was introduced. I don't know the rules for what counts vs what doesn't. If I withdraw this nom, can I use Template:Did you know nominations/Capture of Lemnos (1912) again later for QPQ? Srnec (talk) 20:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Srnec, thank you for your honesty in noting the earlier pre-QPQ DYKs. Regrettably, since this has already been reviewed, you cannot reuse Lemnos QPQ for some other nomination, so there's no point in withdrawing this nom (and it seems a shame not to have it go through). Perhaps another DYK editor would be willing to donate one of their extra QPQs to you, since you hadn't been aware of the second QPQ required? BlueMoonset (talk) 04:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a second review. Srnec (talk) 02:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that means QPQ is also fulfilled. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:28, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
