A fact from Storm Poly appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 February 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Storm Poly caused hundreds to be stranded at Amsterdam's central station as it passed the nation?

This article is just about new and long enough. The hook is cited and interesting enough. AGF on the Dutch sources. Three minor things though: 1) please add the article to a few categories if possible 2) "... as it passed through the nation" feels superfluous. 3) Awaiting QPQ. Best,

Ok. How about this? ... that since Storm Poly caused several rail services to be cancelled, hundreds were stranded at the Amsterdam's central station? Source: [1] Also, this is my first DYK nomination so I don't think I need to do a QPQ.

Under the section on Poly's effect on Germany is this: " ... while powerful gusts toppled down trees, ... " The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines "topple" as "Cause to fall headlong ... "; since falling is always down, I suggest that "toppled down" should be simply "toppled". What do others think?
