The result was: promoted by Theleekycauldron (talk17:28, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Festucalex (talk). Self-nominated at 09:56, 23 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Samuel Dexter Lecompte; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • Recent expansion, interesting hook verified by the source. Length sufficient, QPQ not needed as this is the nominator's second DYK. Earwig only highlights one sentence about him being born and frankly there isn't much other way to write it. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 05:15, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Lecompte "unexpectedly" opposed Southern secession

[edit]

I've removed the claim about his opposition to Southern secession being unexpected because the Kansas Historical Society article doesn't seem to support it. There were a number of other pro-slavery individuals who opposed the idea of states seceding (e.g. Andrew Jackson). Partofthemachine (talk) 01:59, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
