Thomas Figures, Michael Figures
( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that Thomas Figures prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan and Michael Figures bankrupted it?
- ALT1: ... that Thomas Figures prosecuted two members of the Ku Klux Klan for murder and Michael Figures bankrupted their organization in a civil lawsuit?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Rost (Tashkent newspaper) and Template:Did you know nominations/Dick Harris (center)
- Comment: These hooks pertain to the lynching of Michael Donald, where assistant district attorney Thomas Figures secured two murder convictions and state senator and attorney Michael Figures (along with Morris Dees) litigated a civil suit that bankrupted the United Klans of America. Thomas is a new article but Michael is a 5x expansion.

- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- I would go with ALT1. ALT0 might cause issues at WP:ERRORS because technically it was only two KKK members who were prosecuted, not the whole group.
| QPQ: Done. |

@Muboshgu: Nice work. Everything looks good except for the QPQ. Epicgenius (talk) 14:10, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Epicgenius, it's harder to do reviews now with backlog mode. I've started the review on Template:Did you know nominations/Dick Harris (center) to complete the QPQ. ALT0 is more fun, but less, uh, precise. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:24, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Epicgenius, QPQs are done. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
