Reviewed: Ebenezer Teichelmann
Comment: To coincide with New Zealand's first ever Wikipedia conference on March 20–21, we've nominated Ebenezer Teichelmann to appear in DYK on March 20, and it would be great if this could appear on that date too. We may be able to come up with a couple more Hokitika DYK noms as well.
