Thanks The ed17. I have Newspapers.com access and there are a bunch of good articles on what happened around that time. I've been working to bring all the presidents of the Packers up to GA-status. Jones is my last! Should get expanded and go to GAN in September. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:22, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Other than that, this hook is GTG once that requirement is met. Great work. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:52, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Lol, I have never heard of that. Pseud 14, added. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:58, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: that was exceptionally fast :) It's temporary, at least until the backlog is cleared. Pseud 14 (talk) 20:00, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

I have 2 other noms, just stole a QPQ from one of them to move this one along. Now working on 3 more QPQs tho! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:03, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
