  • Comment: created in sandbox only 24th March before it was moved to mainspace on 25 March. I'm still working on it aiming to fill the daya by over this weekend as I'm reviewing some 1,000 newspaper sources about it. Following on from I'll return to adding information from the 1970, believe thers some 10,000 plus sources on Trove for that. ALT2 has just come to light as I continue to work through the sources to me its a powerful message and a trigger of imagination that DYK benefits from.
    • followup lots of information added, now seeking out photos, Gnangarra 11:12, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Overall: The review undertaken at Template:Did you know nominations/Master of Walters 219 was not a full review, as an initial full review was provided by Pi.1415926535. Gnangarra, please provide a QPQ for a nomination in which you conducted a full review. Also, while I think all of the hooks are interesting and cited, I think you might be able to get an interesting one out of the 22 rifle incident; however, I'll leave that up to you. Please ping me when you've provided a valid QPQ. TarnishedPath^talk 09:23, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

@Gnangarra:, thanks for that. I've approved the nomination. TarnishedPath^talk 11:27, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

I'm surprised this article made it to DYK. It needs a pretty major copyedit - there's a lot of poor grammar and unencyclopedic phrasing. --Ef80 (talk) 19:34, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
