Improved to Good Article status by Peaceray (talk). Self-nominated at 21:57, 8 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Elizabeth Siddal; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

GA, date etc. all good. First hook seems much more interesting than the second one which reads like mundane trivia (people get chilled doing zillion things). QPQ check gives nothing, quick check of nom's talk page archives yielded two previous nominations, so per Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Supplementary_guidelines#H4 a QPQ review is not required yet, although encouraged. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:25, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
