Created by Andrew Davidson (talk). Self-nominated at 16:00, 21 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Stanhope Demonstrator; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

New enough, hook in article and followed by citation to reference which requires subscription. No copyvio issues. Image is clear and free. Ping once expanded and added QPQ. @Andrew Davidson: thank you Whispyhistory (talk) 13:32, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

@Whispyhistory: Thanks for the quick review. I've done the QPQ but have no time for significant expansion right now. My priority currently is to crop the picture to focus more on the central display. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:33, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

@Andrew Davidson: How is this going? Also, have you considered c:Commons:CropTool for the cropping of the display? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:04, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

I have already cropped the image and have no further plans for immediate expansion now. The article is already large enough for DYK and so we should press on. Andrew🐉(talk) 00:11, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Pinging the original reviewer Whispyhistory for disposition. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:02, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

.... QPQ provided, copyvio 0%, article long enough. AGF on much of text cited by references that require subscription. Image free and clear. Hook is interesting and length okay - it is in the article and followed by a citation to a good reference that contains hook fact. Thank you Whispyhistory (talk) 07:11, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
