Created by Tim O'Doherty (talk) and Alansplodge (talk). Nominated by Tim O'Doherty (talk) at 16:33, 17 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Coronation of George II of Great Britain and Caroline; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • Hi Tim O'Doherty (talk), review follows: article created 17 April and is of good length; sources used look to be generally reliable (the blog is a British Library one from one of their curators so looks good enough), I am not familiar with Historic UK and I could not see any news articles or books by the author (Jessica Brain), could you advise what makes it reliable? I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing and Earwig looks OK (it is thrown by some quotes and book titles); image is used in article and is correctly and freely licensed; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in the article; ALT0 checks out to source cited, I will have to AGF on the offline source for ALT1; a QPQ is awaited. Would be a good one to run on 6 May, the date of Charles III's coronation - Dumelow (talk) 20:27, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, just realised you are exempt from the QPQ requirement as you have no prior DYKs. Just my query on Historic UK then - Dumelow (talk) 20:28, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Dumelow, thanks for the quick response. I used Historic UK for no particular reason; it just happened to be convenient at the time. Historic UK runs a historical magazine, which should be an RS. There's similar information on Walpole's own article, and the sources there seem to be reliable (see this). Caroline and George's FA articles also have the same information, each with their own sources, which, I admit I haven't read, but they seem to be reliable also. Yes, I agree that it would be good one to run on the 6th. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 20:47, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply Tim O'Doherty (talk). If you are happy with it then I am good to AGF on the source, the statement it cites is not especially contentious - Dumelow (talk) 06:32, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot. If needs be, I can always find another source. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty (talk) 06:49, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Coronation of George II of Great Britain and CarolineCoronation of George II and Caroline – There's no need for the title to be this long (WP:CONCISE). Every other coronation article is titled "Coronation of {Monarch} and {Consort}" ("Consort" where applicable), so WP:CONSISTENT applies here too. Estar8806 (talk) 19:44, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support for consistency. However, I do think we should hold to Tim O'Doherty's suggestion.

@Estar8806 Changing vote to support - the DYK has been deselected. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
