Improved to Good Article status by Silence of Järvenpää (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 23:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Water Droplets (Sibelius); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Note The target article needs to be in bold font in the hook. As the target article title is in italic font, it needs to use italic font in the hook, too. Schwede66 04:50, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- "when he was under the age of 18" is a rather odd phrasing and somewhat broad (the lead says ages 10–15, so perhaps "in his teenage years", or something similar, is better). Aza24 (talk) 03:01, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

- Teens start at 13, so that doesn't really make sense – I'd go with "as a young boy".

AGF on sources I cannot access The wording of the hook might be improved by using "when he was a schoolboy" as mentioned in the introduction of the article, otherwise "as a young boy" is also sufficient. The promoter can choose.
