Comment: My fifth and final free DYK nom. And I formally request that this be included in [one of?] the Christmas-themed set(s).

Is that better? It's a simple fix. SilverTiger12 (talk) 18:41, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
As far as I'm concerned, that's fine. But there are some people who interpret the rule differently. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:44, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Too bad we cannot use any images because of the very strict FOP in Iceland. The image is uploaded to commons but it should be deleted based on the strict FOP. There may be some fair use possibility for the image if uploaded locally but I am not sure. ALT1 works and checks out as it calls out the folklore aspect. There is a discussion about Xmas hooks on WT:DYK and perhaps this hook could be a part of that planned set? I also made note of the discussion on the creator's talk page about copying within Wikipedia. Bruxton (talk) 16:59, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
I've nominated the file for deletion on Commons. I'll upload it as non-free here if it gets deleted. QueenofHearts ❤️ (no relation) 04:40, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
SilverTiger12, good work. Reworded some very minor close paraphrasing. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (no relation) 02:44, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
