- Apologies, I started this the other day but left it without pushing the button on DYKMake (busy work day), and submitted properly on the 8th day; the article was built up in the first 2-3 days, so I hope this can be allowed as a small flexibility.
-ALT1 was generated from new information submitted by a third party after I started to formulate, and I verified at The Irish Times archive; Irish Times refs are often paywalled, but multiple Irish editors have access. -9th DYK nom., 6th QPQ submitted (and will do two new QPQs today for future submissions) Created by SeoR (talk). Self-nominated at 10:55, 23 April 2021 (UTC).
This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and I think ALT1 is the most interesting, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:47, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
Dada - any information or links edit
I was surprised to find that I could not link to an article on this article subject's PhD thesis topic - the language "Dada" - especially as the encyclopedia is usually good on IT topics. I vaguely remember the name from somewhere, but that could be just because it's a familiar type of label - and good ol' Google proposed only Dadatype, and it's not clear that that was a language as such. Any expert input welcome. SeoR (talk) 23:30, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Personal life edit
Hi. Good article, interesting profile. Personal data is out of date, spouse now is technology and data rights journalist Karlin Lillington. 80.233.48.103 (talk) 14:37, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- The children were all adult by 2013. Since then the Askefield demesne has hosted dogs and donkeys, with Lillington active in King Charles Spaniel (KCS) circles, and in caring for rescued equines, not sure if Horn also works with these. 51.171.242.16 (talk) 14:22, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
