The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Reviewed: Milton (electoral district) (Currently exempt, but likely won't be shortly, given that I have a bunch in the queue).
Comment: Can't think of another reasonable hook that links the two authors together, so have only included one. Very much open to suggestions! Flagging that I've sourced hooks for both to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, which is paywalled (unless you have a UK public library membership, I'm told).
*Perhaps just in case the double hook proposal doesn't gain traction, you can also provide at least one separate hook about each of them? I'm not sure how common it was for writers at the time to have only one known work so I'm not sure how suitable or "hooky" the current proposal is.

Comment I like the original hook best, but the current wording suggests this is positively known about them, where it seems to be "as far as is known", or "only surviving" etc. Johnbod (talk) 01:57, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AleatoryPonderings: These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the articles are neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I suggest rewording the hook to ALT1. A single QPQ has been done, you now seem to have 10 DYK credits, so perhaps you could do another. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Slightly reconsidered. How's alt1a? It was arguably OR for me to call them writers of the English Renaissance, as I don't have that fact specifically cited inline. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 12:29, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Alt1a ... that Martha Moulsworth and Alice Sutcliffe, two 17th-century English writers, are each known for a single literary work?
Thank you, approving Alt1a. Extra QPQs are always helpful, there are over 100 nominations to choose from! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
