  • Hi Sammi Brie, I was intrigued and created an article on Kid Canfield. I could propose this as a double hook (I can contribute the additional QPQ) or, if you prefer, keep it separate. Let me know - Dumelow (talk) 10:44, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
  • @Dumelow: Honestly, he's probably interesting enough that he merits his own hook! Thanks for creating it, though. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 17:45, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
No worries, I'll knock up a new nom - Dumelow (talk) 19:13, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
  • This is a great hook, attached to a DYK-compliant article, with an appropriate QPQ. Having said that, the article doesn't currently make it clear the criminal trial was a murder -- scalding frequently refers to non-fatal injury. I'd be happy to approve if you can make it clearer.
