A fact from George K. Teulon appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 January 2025 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that according to George K. Teulon all of the presidents and vice-presidents of the Republic of Texas, and four-fifths of its government officials, were freemasons?

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.
Article was nominated within the relevant window and is long enough (extensive quotations do make that a bit hazy, but they're used appropriately). Earwig suggest that there was likely a problem regarding copyright, but a manual check suggested that it was all appropriate quotations and names giving false positives. No images (I think you could add the Texas star in there somewhere!). Not a barrier to running, but the infobox accepts his death as being in Calcutta despite the possibility that it was in Hong Kong; consider providing both possibilities there. Overall, a swell little article—good work! Preference is for ALT1 on basis of it being more interesting to me. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! An image with the star has been added now. I believe that Calcutta is more likely to be the place of his death than Hong Kong because Brown only gives a scant mention of Teulon and the other source seems to be much more certain. Aneirinn (talk) 05:29, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

"Did you know that according to George K. Teulon all of the presidents and vice-presidents of the Republic of Texas, and four-fifths of its government officials, were freemasons?"
OK, but were they? What do modern historians say? I would have expected it to be easy for them to prove or disprove such a claim, at least as far as the presidents and vice-presidents are concerned. And this is rather important for the degree to which the statement is of interest. 62.73.72.3 (talk) 11:07, 3 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
