Battle of the Frogs

(

)

Detail from banknote

... that the 1754 Battle of the Frogs was commemorated on banknotes (detail pictured)?

Source: The frog vignette appears on the $1, $2, $3, $5 and $10 notes in the lower right corner. The old notes reminded everyone that touched them about the then-famous battle of the frogs...

Piano score for the Frog Chorus

- ALT1: ... that an opera based on the Battle of the Frogs (piano score pictured) was compared to the fictional musical Springtime for Hitler? Source: Mr. Brouillard said that the operetta's story line is on the order of Springtime for Hitler, the musical in the Mel Brooks film, The Producers, that is so bad it is funny and becomes a Broadway hit.

Overall: Article was nominated for DYK within 7 days of reaching Good Article status. Article is over 1,500 words in prose and is well-sourced. Earwig picked up a copyright violation of 44.8% with "violation possible" as a status, but most of the detected violations were just the phrase "Battle of the Frogs" or quotes that were already properly cited. AGF on print sources. ALT0 is a good hook and the image associated is great. Image has no copyright violations as it is public domain. lullabying (talk) 06:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@Lullabying and Gobonobo: I went to confirm the hook {citation 10) and there is no page number - it was on page 4. Some other sources also have no page numbers. For accuracy can you add the correct page numbers to sources? If it is a matter of multiple pages you could use a system like this {{r|Weaver|p=4}}. I think it is a source=to=text integrity issue per WP:DYKCITE. Lightburst (talk) 00:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

@Lightburst: Thank you for catching that. I've added an inline ref for that sentence from the Paper Money source, which goes into more detail. I've also added page numbers where I could. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 17:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Note to the promoting administrator that earwig is not working for me. Lightburst (talk) 02:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
