On 5 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Castlereagh–Canning duel, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1809, two ministers leading the British war effort against Napoleon fought a duel against each other?

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Castlereagh–Canning duel), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Good evening, my bad. I am not the copyright holder, I just did a copy & paste to use this as a basis, but got an update and instead of abandoning I published the raw version. Certainly this won't happen again.--Michael G. Lind (talk) 21:12, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
