Created by Vanderwaalforces (talk) and FuzzyMagma (talk). Nominated by Vanderwaalforces (talk) at 18:12, 17 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Benin Moat; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Recent GA with no indications of copyvio. Hook is quite interesting - I cannot access the exact source used to cite in the article, but a cursory Google Books search indicate that the 800-1460 date is mentioned by several sources. QPQ is not needed for what I believe is the nominator's first DYK. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 10:28, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
