G'day, as the article creator, how do you feel if I nominate Wilson Tucker (politician) for Wikipedia:Did you know? I am thinking of having a hook something like this: ...that Wilson Tucker was elected to the Mining and Pastoral region in the Western Australian Legislative Council despite receiving just 0.18% of the primary vote?

@Steelkamp: Sounds good to me, I like that hook.

On 28 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wilson Tucker (politician), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.
