Bias disclosure: I'm not really that big a fan of DYK. Having said that, the fact used here isn't all that interesting. Something far more interesting would have been along the lines of how the plans that the NPS drew up in 1962 allowed the cathedral to be reconstructed following the 1966 fire.
I could smell a DYK coming simply by observing the rapid expansion of the article. Nonetheless, nothing about it on this talk page until it was already over and done with, even though collaboration may have been helpful in this case. Makes me even more convinced that DYK is more an ego-stroking exercise than an indispensable part of the encyclopedia. RadioKAOS – Talk to me, Billy 14:03, 12 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
