... that land for a library for African-Americans in Virginia was donated by Pope Pius XII? Source: "The pope was magnanimous. Instead of a lease, he ruled the church would donate the land for the library 'for the next 99 years'." Cox, Ray. February 21, 2022. "Library serves for 100 years". The Roanoke Times. A2.

Overall: 2nd time 2O welcome please ping Geardona (talk to me?) 02:51, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

@Geardona: Thanks for the review. To be clear, this is my seventh DYK nom so does require a QPQ, which is forthcoming. If you're interested in a second opinion on your review, you want to use the 'subst:DYK?again' template prior to approval. I'm honestly not sure if that can be done once the review is in the Approved queue or not, though. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 15:38, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

@DrOrinScrivello: We shall see, if you get the QPQ done before it is placed into the actual queue by a helper, it shouldn't be a problem, as for the second opinion, it was just indicating that if I did something wrong, correct me. Geardona (talk to me?) 18:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

@Geardona: I have added my QPQ, so this should be good to go now. Thanks again. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 14:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
