- Comment: New article moved from user space. If the first suggestion is used, perhaps this can be held for 1st August (anniversary of the Battle of the Nile)?
Moved to mainspace by Ykraps (talk). Self-nominated at 07:44, 14 March 2020 (UTC).
This is a solid article, long enough and well sourced, moved to mainspace in date. AGF on offline sources. QPQ has been done. Hook facts are sourced in article. I'm not keen on Alt2, though chronologically accurate it suggests a causality that is not supported in the article/source, where Hore merely wonders if the coach journey had some effect on Nelson's decision. The first hook I think is strongest, and would go well with an anniversary date, but given that it is well over six weeks until the date in question, this would need a specific exemption. Perhaps ask at Wikipedia talk:Did you know to see if a consensus could be gained. Spokoyni (talk) 12:19, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
