A fact from Potters Crouch appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 April 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the potter of Potters Crouch may have been Le Pottere, whose son was also a Pottere?
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.
Overall: The article is new enough (expanded from a single-sentence stub this week). According to this the character count is 1446 characters, which is slightly less than the minimum requirement of 1500 characters - would it be possible to expand the article slightly in order to address this issue? Sourcing and neutrality are OK, and Earwig's Copyvio Detector stands at 1%. I would remove one of the mentions of "2012" in the sentence "In 2012, it was revealed that Potters Crouch had a problem with water pressure following a 2012 fire..." Hook cited and interesting, and I think it can be used for 1 April. QPQ done. With the minor adjustments suggested above I think this would be good to go.

@The C of E: the length of this article is currently showing as 1383 bytes of readable prose, which is not long enough for the DYK rules. And it is due to run in the next main page set, at midnight UTC tonight. It looks like a copyedit yesterday may have taken it down, although even before that it was showing as 1490 bytes according to the size measurement tool. Are you able to expand it at all in the time available, or shall I pull it and reopen the nom to give you more time? Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 13:23, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@The C of E: Thanks for the changes. The article now has 1528 characters, so it just passes the minimum requirement. Looks good to go now. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 08:32, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
