A fact from The Noble Fisherman appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 April 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that The Noble Fisherman unusually places Robin Hood in the seaside town of Scarborough, and he ends up fighting French pirates?

No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: Since I know people might ask - it's a bit of a mess, but as best I can tell, ballads generally have neither italics nor quotation marks. Since they're songs or short poems, it seems like quotation marks should be called for by MOS:T, but that doesn't appear very commonly in the sources. That said, some WP articles on ballads italicize them, so... shrug emoji, not a clear case. SnowFire (talk) 03:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed my mind on this, and edited the hooks to be italicized after all. Suppose a majority of the sources do italicize. SnowFire (talk) 20:17, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SnowFire, article 5x expanded within 7 days of nomination, new length is well past the minimum. Sources appear reliable and properly used. No concerns about POV, CV, or anything else in policy. All 3 hooks are fun, but I think the pirates are most likely to pull clicks on the main page, since it's a bit of a Batman vs. Dracula-style matchup oddity. (And people love pirates). I think you still need a QPQ, but otherwise this is good to go. ♠PMC♠ (talk)21:49, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
