ALT1: ... that archaeologist Karl Frederik Kinch found a tomb, and discovered within a lost 3rd-century BCE painting of a Macedonian cavalaryman? Source: p. 189-190 of Makedonien - Europas første stormagt, which is available on Wikipedia Library at Project MUSE if you want to confirm yourself.
ALT2: ... that archaeologist Karl Frederik Kinch identified the location of the philosopher Aristotle's hometown, Stagira?

("Det lykkedes Kinch at finde og identificere Aristoteles’ fødeby, Stageira")
Overall: It looks good to me, always good to have a second opinion when it comes down to it. I have never nominated something before, but I want to set some standards and do the QPQ portion early for my end, just so I get into the habit. This was a fascinating piece, since it tapped into a niche of Classical Greek scene that I have not read into before. ALT2 seems to be the most interesting, I highly recommend this one. ALT1 on the fresco despite being personally interested would seem generic compared to the Aristotle piece. NeverBeGameOver (talk) 05:08, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the review! I'm obviously biased, but I don't think you really need a second opinion on this, @NeverBeGameOver:. Plenty of people hesitantly start DYK reviewing with less controversial promotions, so it's probably fine. (And, in theory, if a promotion is really crazy, the promoter who moves the hook to the queue generally takes a short overall look and can flag a nomination as needing more work, although it's not good to depend on that of course.) That said, it's up to you.
As a side note, on your minor edit - this is a bit of a trap since it's not obvious, but the DYK expectation of one source per paragraph doesn't apply to the lead section per WP:LEADCITE. Just a random gotcha out there, and yes, lots of editors / readers don't know this guideline either - more an FYI deal. SnowFire (talk) 17:34, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
