Created by Flux55 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:28, 17 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Storm Poly; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

This article is just about new and long enough. The hook is cited and interesting enough. AGF on the Dutch sources. Three minor things though: 1) please add the article to a few categories if possible 2) "... as it passed through the nation" feels superfluous. 3) Awaiting QPQ.

Ok. How about this? ... that since Storm Poly caused several rail services to be cancelled, hundreds were stranded at the Amsterdam's central station? Source: ^[1] Also, this is my first DYK nomination so I don't think I need to do a QPQ. "Flux55"

Ok, thanks for letting me know. The alt sounds good to me! Cheers, KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 12:26, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Is there anything else I need to do to improve the hook. If not, should the discussion be closed? "Flux55" — Preceding undated comment added 17:36, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"toppled down"?[edit]

Under the section on Poly's effect on Germany is this: " ... while powerful gusts toppled down trees, ... " The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines "topple" as "Cause to fall headlong ... "; since falling is always down, I suggest that "toppled down" should be simply "toppled". What do others think? Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 07:52, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
