A fact from Thomas S. Gathright appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 April 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.
Article length and age are fine, added an alternate hook highlighting a more unique aspect of Gathright's career. Hoped to have it be for teaching classics instead of military tactics?, but the sources given in that paragraph do not verify this claim. Would be worth it to double-check other sources in a more detailed way. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 12:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1 ... that the first president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas was fired for teaching classics instead of agriculture? Source: Chapman, David L. "Thomas S. Gathright: Dedicated to Success, Doomed to Failure". Cushing Memorial Library and Archives. Archived from the original on September 19, 2006. Retrieved 2008-02-27.
Article long enough, new at time of nomination. Alt0 is fine, I guess; Alt1 as proposed is more interesting - I also think it's more interesting saying agriculture (not military tactics), given "agricultural" is in the name. The text for the bold link is perhaps a little deceptive, but not so eggy to reject. The article as written is a little outmodish but seems perfectly correct. A random source check comes up clean. It doesn't show as a particularly high percentage of text copying, but I would recommend cutting down on the quotes. The article isn't perfect, but I think it is suitable enough for DYK.
