A fact from Nils Elias Anckers appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 March 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Interesting: - I believe this could be improved. I don't see what is interesting about his service in the Congo or winning the Silver Star. See bulleted comments below. I would highlight he is a Swedish Navy officer - not just a Swedish officer.
Hook is cited to a reference in Swedish (which I don't read) - but AGF
I like the picture, but have to agree with @
1ctinus: - it's too blurry for usage on the homepage DYK. Recommend to remove if you can't find a clearer image.
The hooks should come from the submitter - but... I like the juxtaposition of military officer and artist - could you submit one that highlights his role as a kommendor in the Swedish Navy with winning the silver medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition for his art?
One QPQ has been completed - however new guidance states that editors with greater than 20 DYK should do two QPQs to reduce the backlog
@
Yakikaki: I've completed my review and rated it as maybe. I think these issues I've highlighted can be addressed and we can get this approved. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you
Dwkaminski for your both kind and constructive review! I think I have solved the issues with the references, replacing one with a link to a pdf and replacing the bad link in the other with one that hopefully works. For the foreseeable future I would struggle with identifying more (probably off-line) sources to add, because I'm not living in Sweden right now. I hope it can still be deemed sufficient? I know some of the sources are a little old, but to me they seem reliable and serious. As for the picture, I agree with you actually, looking at it properly it is very grainy and unsuitable, so I think we can disregard it. And then for ALT hooks, perhaps either of these could work?
@
Dwkaminski: By the way, I found a slightly better picture of Anckers, and updated the article with it. It is still probably not good enough for the main page though. Best,

Thanks again! Actually, I would prefer to run this DYK without a picture. The present one is really just a portrait, not very exciting as a picture in its own right. So if it is OK for you I would be in favour of skipping it altogether in the DYK? As for the extra QPQ, I was informed this is only applicable for nominations done after the backlog mode went active, which was early March sometime. Best,

The picture used in this article is extremely low resolution. Using a quick tineye search did not yield anything for higher resolution. Can somebody please find a higher resolution image, especially given its DYK status?
