- Reviewed: 1963 Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum gas explosion
- Comment: The image is considered a Quality Image and is rated as a Featured Image. I selected "1963 Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum gas explosion" to review and will do that within the next 2–3 days, commenting here when that is complete. If you like none of these hooks, I have several more ideas.

- Epicgenius, QPQ performed. I did an again to request another reviewer take a look because of some issues I found and because it was my first DYK review, although I have done several other types of reviews. Template:Did you know nominations/1963 Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum gas explosion
- Thank you for the comments! I know that indigenous people-related hooks get a lot of attention, so I thought those two may be of highest interest. I like ALT2 the best of the two. If someone brought me a huge bundle of this flower, I would probably fall in love! :) I hope the photo can be used with it on the main page when the time comes.

- Also, there is no rush putting this on the main page. It might be good for February, near Valentine's Day ("love medicine"). I hope to have it to FA status before its blooming season so that maybe it could be a TFA at that time. Eewilson (talk) 19:30, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

@Eewilson: nice work on improving this to GA status. Personally I prefer ALT2 and ALT3. I'm just waiting on your QPQ before I approve this. If you have any alternate hook ideas, though, feel free to suggest them. Epicgenius (talk) 17:54, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Thought I'd ping you to see if you saw that I noted above that I had done the QPQ DYK for this one. Let me know if there are issues. Thank you. Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 12:09, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
