Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 06:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Coronation glove; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Hook is interesting enough and checks out. All paragraphs and hook are well-cited. Article has a neutral tone. Earwig found no close paraphrasing, copyright or plagiarism. The 1902 image is old enough for the main page. Fixed a few trivial typos. Good to go. Edwardx (talk) 00:16, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
