( Article history links: )
- ... that nearly 1,000 airmen who were killed on the Western Front and have no known grave, including Pruett Mullens Dennett, are commemorated on the Arras Flying Services Memorial (pictured)?
- Comment: I have populated this nomination template on behalf of a very new Wikipedian, ACP2011 (talk · contribs), who has created several good-quality articles via Articles for Creation. These were both created through AFC and were moved to mainspace on 7th and 6th March respectively. The user has not experienced DYK before, so I have offered to oversee this nomination.

Great to see another editor's work brought to the attention of the wiki! My first DYK was a nomination by someone watching me start an article, so I get it. :) Dates are good, March 3 and 3, lengths are good, 4813 and 3609 characters of readable prose. Citations are good, as is neutrality. Hook is proper length, and online citations confirm it. May I offer an alternate arrangement of the hook? Binksternet (talk) 02:46, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

- Regarding the choice in hooks, Hassocks5489 said on my talk page, "Hi Binksternet. Your ALT looks fine; probably flows a little better. I am happy for either hook to be used."
So it's ALT1 for slightly better flow. Binksternet (talk) 13:47, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
