Did you know nomination

John Arnold Tibbits
  • Source: Strings of power: "...Thomas Waller of New London [was] narrowly elected governor in the 1882 state elections...Tibbits, a zealous Republican, editorialized against Waller's candidacy in the harshest of terms"
  • ALT1: ... that John A. Tibbits (pictured) and his law firm partner served as consecutive U.S. consuls to Bradford, England? Source: The Whaling City: A History of New London: "...when Benjamin Harrison became president, John A. Tibbits was appointed consul at Bradford, England, 1889 replacing Waller" (Decker 280); "John A. Tibbits lost his collectorship in 1885 and interestingly, Waller and Tibbits reestablished a law firm with Waller's son, Tracey" (283)

  •   Article is easily new and long enough. Both hooks are good but I find ALT0 to be far more interesting. Article's sourcing is excellent and both hooks are present in the article. I suspect the sourcing checks out for both, but could you provide page numbers for each hook (both are sourced to FN 11) so I can double check? (As a note, I recommend {{sfn}} for book citations, that way each instance of the citation has its own page number - of course, this is separate from the DYK nom, just a tip that I have found helpful). Earwig looks good, basically all "violations" are the exact phrase "Connecticut House of Representatives" so no issues there. Image is public domain and nom has no prior DYK credits so no QPQ is required. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:35, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
