Winston Churchill in 1942
- ... that Winston Churchill (pictured) wrote an essay on extraterrestrial life on the eve of the Second World War? Source: BBC News

- Comment:
FYI 1: The review/approval of Alexis Soyer (QPQ) is still ongoing.FYI 2: I would actually prefer a different hook than the one provided above (... that Winston Churchill published an essay on extraterrestrial life during the Second World War?), but I could not find a source which clearly stated that fact (even if it is clearly true, as the article was published in 1942). FYI 3: This is my first try with an image for DYK, please be extra careful when checking it.

- Regarding the nominator's preferred hook, might this be a case of WP:BLUESKY (and the same principle that applies to WP:CALC)? Graham (talk) 06:05, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
The copyvio detector picks up 68% copy, but it is just that our article has block-quoted the essay. Regarding the hook our article states that the essay was penned on the eve of WWII. September 1, 1939 Germany invaded Poland to start WWII. I added that it is an 11 page essay. I added the sentence: "Churchill drafted the 11 page essay in 1939, just as Europe headed towards World War II". per the reference. The QPQ is done. The image is properly licensed and PD but I do not recommend using it since it because it is not about the essay. The article has the correct inline citations and the hook is cited.
