A fact fromUrien appeared on Wikipedia'sMain Page in theDid you know column on 15 July 2025 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Do you think there's a need? Besides the stuff in Harley 3859, pretty much all of the material surrounding Urien is 'literary' and later than his life just like the Arthurian material, though of course the Arthurian stuff makes much less of an attempt to be grounded in who the historical Urien may have been.Tipcake (talk)06:52, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status byTipcake (talk).Number of QPQs required:0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.
Article was promoted to GA status on June 15, satisfying the criteria of being new enough, reliably sourced, and presentable. Article is quite nice. Also long enough. Hooks are interesting, short enough, and properly sourced. I like both ALT0 and ALT1 about equally here, would probably go with ALT0. QPQ not applicable here. Very good job here on getting it to GA status. Should be good to go for the DYK section.Soulbust (talk)07:44, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
