Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Golfballia ambusta; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

Article is new enough and long enough. Hook is plenty interesting and cited. I see nothing impairing it from going through. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 19:19, 8 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Krisgabwoosh and Interaccoonale: Citation for hook fact must be at the end of the sentence not paragraph. WP:DYK#3b. Bruxton (talk) 15:52, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ah, yes; always forget that rule. I've gone ahead and done it for the nominator @Bruxton:. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 15:58, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Krisgabwoosh: Thanks for doing it. I post here because the nomination has been closed. Hope this will not disturb you. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale ^{Will be the raccoon race}_{(talk・contribs)} 16:06, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
