Created by JJonahJackalope (talk). Self-nominated at 03:48, 15 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/William Penn Memorial Fire Tower; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Hi JJonahJackalope (talk), review follows: article created 9 June and exceeds minimum length; it is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject; hook fact is a little mundane but probably just interesting enough; I didn't find anything troubling when looking for overly close paraphrasing, the Earwig figure is somewhat high but shows nothing of concern; hook fact checks out (a note that funding was granted and construction started in 1938 so we are right to use "Works Progress Administration" here, rather than "Work Projects Administration" to which it was renamed in 1939 and to which some sources refer); a QPQ has been carried out; image is good and appropriately licensed as the nominator's own work. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 05:16, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
