Created by KJP1 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:38, 15 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Monkton House, West Dean; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • No, unfortunately that won’t work, as the planned dining room was at James’ London house, not at Monkton. I now think that’s the fatal flaw in my nomination, the hook is only parenthetically connected to the article. A pity, as I thought the hook rather nice. Could somebody better versed than I in the mysteries of DYK close this one. KJP1 (talk) 19:49, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
  • No worries. I shall place this mark here and that'll initiate the process of the nomination to go away. Schwede66 01:21, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
