Catto Memorial; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article new and long enough. Earwig gave a 30%, but that’s because quotations in the article. Hook interesting and verified by source that’s already inline. Nominator's 2nd DYK, so no QPQ needed yet, good to go. Juxlos (talk) 05:45, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did not promote the image because it just does not render properly in the size constraints. Bruxton (talk) 20:25, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
