A fact from Iowa Cow War appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 November 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
It's definitely very thorough for such a niche topic, and mostly within the GA criteria, however I think there ars e a few things it could use (in order of importance):
Some kind of image(s). Obviously, photos of the actual event aren't exactly plentiful, but pictures of something relevant (e.g. bovine tuberculosis or Norman G. Baker) would help illustrate the page.
The fact that the compensation for the cows being slaughtered was less than their market value isn't mentioned in the article, which seems to be the main reason the protests started.
An infobox is always helpful for any page.
You might want to link Iowa National Guard. However, given the state the article is in, I could see why you wouldn't.
All in all, quite good, with excellent prose. Once these things are addressed, I will happily list it as a GA. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 17:45, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: @SL93: Good article! I need citations for the hook before I proceed though. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:27, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Onegreatjoke What do you mean? It is cited in the article. A citation being added to the DYK nomination page has never been a requirement. SL93 (talk) 20:32, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
SL93 I know, I just prefer having the citation be in the nomination template since it's easier than just scavenging the article. I will still approve since I verified this in the source. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:40, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Onegreatjoke I don't include it because the reviewer needs to review the entire article and its sources anyway. Thanks for approving it. SL93 (talk) 20:42, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
