Overall: Article and nomination look good to me, Earwig checks out, and no QPQ is required as nom has 0 DYK credits. The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the image, which is not clearly discernable at the size displayed here. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 06:44, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

• Sorry to butt in, but does this pass likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest? A town having had three names is, I guess, a little unusual, but it's true of very many places. What about

• @Firsfron: how do you feel about this proposed hook? PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 06:40, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
• @PCN02WPS: Looks like Firsfron is inactive – would you be willing to review ALT1, and if the nominator objects, we'll circle back? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 09:50, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
  • @Theleekycauldron: thank you for the heads up, I'm cool with ALT1 personally, mentioned and cited in the article. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:01, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

I AGF on ALT1 source. I cannot access it at the moment. Bruxton (talk) 16:49, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
