Briarcliff Manor Public Library[edit]
... that the 28-year director of the Briarcliff Manor Public Library (pictured) was the mother of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Hersey?
Created by Ɱ (talk). Self nominated at 22:51, 15 November 2014 (UTC).
Hook is interesting and verifiable, and of suitable length. Image is copyright free, and is visible at a small size. Article is neutral, meets required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Article was created on 14 November 2014, within seven days of this nomination (DYK nominated on 15 November). My only concern is QPQ; unless I'm missing something, this appears to be your sixth DYK nomination, which means you are no longer exempt from QPQ. Also, it might be worth adding Grace Baird Hersey's name to the hook itself—just an idea. Let me know. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 08:47, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

... that the Briarcliff Manor Public Library (pictured) was run by Grace Baird Hersey (mother of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Hersey) for 28 years? - ALT2 ... that 28-year director of the Briarcliff Manor Public Library (pictured) was Grace Baird Hersey, mother of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Hersey?
- ALT1
- Also, I suppose this is the first time that I need to do the QPQ. OK, will do (at Template:Did you know nominations/Habershon and Fawckner).--ɱ (talk · vbm) 17:47, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
QPQ is fine. I think ALT1 is the best hook, though I suggest changing the second set of parenthesis to commas:
- ALT3 ... that the Briarcliff Manor Public Library (pictured) was run by Grace Baird Hersey, mother of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Hersey, for 28 years?
- If you can agree with this, then we're good to go. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 00:53, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
By DYK rules, only images that appear in the article are eligible for use in the nomination, and the image here is not in the article. May I suggest, instead, that the image in the infobox be used? It's quite good. Also, it will show up better at 100x100px. (Both images are on Commons and licensed for use, something that should always be checked in a DYK review.)

- Image file changed to the one in the article's infobox; restoring earlier tick now that image issues are resolved. I've struck the original hook and ALT1 in favor of the later versions of each, though like Rhain1999, I very much prefer the wording of ALT3 (the revised ALT1) as more elegant. (I almost said "more graceful".) BlueMoonset (talk) 20:29, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
