Regrettably, this was nominated nearly two months after it was listed as a Good Article, far too late to qualify for DYK. I'm sorry this wasn't realized sooner, including by myself when you first nominated it.

that the memorial (pictured) honoring Revolutionary War general Peter Muhlenberg in Washington, D.C. was not dedicated until October 26, 1980, 52 years after Congress authorized its construction?
- Comment: I'd like to see about getting this a DYK on the 26th, if possible!

WaPo is paywalled and I'm out of my monthly free articles. Everything checks out. NOTE TO PREP TEAM: Please set this up for October 26, 2019 as requested by the nominator. 3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 03:20, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- Oh, whoops: Approved for the first hook, which is shorter and more catchy.
I'm sorry to create a hitch, but I don't believe that the image is usable; "freedom of panorama" doesn't include works of art like the statue in the monument, or even monuments themselves, which I think do have their own copyright. (Buildings are a different matter.) Pinging Nikkimaria, who if she doesn't know, would probably know who would. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:28, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hmm, it does appear that you are right Commons:FOP US. Thank you!--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 19:00, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- Agree, the image likely cannot be used on the main page, although potentially a case for fair use could be made within the article. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:44, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
- If the image is removed from the hook, I can approve it. @Rockhead126:.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 22:21, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- The nominator hasn't responded, I'm happy with approving this hook without an image. if image is removed.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 13:12, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay. Sounds good to me. Rockhead126 (talk) 17:29, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
This article received a GA icon on August 6, nearly 2 months before the nomination was made. This does not satisfy DYK rules of nominating within 7 days, or even 2 weeks for a new nominator. Yoninah (talk) 22:24, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
