@Evolauxia: It would really be great to get this into the Did you know? section on the Front Page of Wikipedia, where LOTS of readers would see it. Needs to be expanded to at least 300 words of prose, with more about Crane himself. Also, more good RS sources if at all possible to establish WP:NOTABILITY beyond questioning. (I know, that sounds ridiculous, but trust me, there are editors who would be all too happy to squash this story.) We have 6 days left to submit it. Cgingold (talk) 10:00, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've gotten DYK placements before and considered submitting it given the Snowden/Drake and Hitler aspects. I'm interested but don't know if I'll have the time (I'm mostly an inactive editor now). Here is another original work article from Government Executive. There's a lot of material in the available articles. Evolauxia (talk) 21:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I just finished submitting it at DYK.... Got in under the wire. Cgingold (talk) 00:59, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
