A fact from Henry Baylis appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 September 2022 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Henry Baylis kept the bullet that wounded him as a good-luck charm?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: New enough, long enough, sourced and neutral. Hook is (very) interesting in my opinion. The url cited for the DYK hook doesn't work for me, so I'll AGF. QPQ is not needed as the nominator only has four DYK noms.

"née Bartels" should be in parentheses (additionally, omit it from the infobox). Same with "née Murray" later.
Done
Based on the first body sentence, he had siblings, so it might be worth mentioning how many.
Added the number of children that travelled to Australia with parents
After gold was discovered in the Mudgee district in 1851, Baylis tried his luck as a gold prospector. Do you have any information about what happened or what caused him to stop?
Can't find any information on why he stopped gold prospecting
The main road in Wagga Wagga, has been named Baylis Street, after Henry Baylis. This line should be moved into the above paragraph rather than kept separate, and maybe reworded for better flow.
Moved to end of previous paragraph
As the police magistrate in the area, Baylis made monthly visits to the settlements of Urana and Narrandera, to hold court sessions. That last comma can probably go.
Done
these two men were later identified as bushrangers, Dan Morgan and his associate "Flash Clarke".
Unsure what you're trying to say here
That was a mistake. The quoted part is fine the way it is.
I suppose this article technically does the opposite, but it's probably worth bringing up
WP:SURVIVEDBY.
Removed the sentence about his surviving children
All in all, there are no egregious errors, and the article is accurate and sufficiently paraphrased. I will put it on hold.

And here's the full report, since I neglected to add it at first:
GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
I forgot to mention it up top, but while the images are suitable, the first one is tagged rather questionably, and also is missing a caption.
Added a caption to the first image
Could you add another tag, like with the second one? It's obviously old enough, but I don't think it's tagged sufficiently.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

An anonymous username, not my real name it's possible you have checked all the
criteria in this review but it's not possible to see that from the above, which looks like just a prose review. It might be worth using a template from
Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/templates as a work guide. To take one example which is a pass/fail issue, it's not clear you have checked that the images are tagged correctly and are appropriate with suitable captions.

Thank you for calling me out. I added one above. I did originally review the full article (not just prose), but I didn't notice any issues with anything else at first. I looked again since you mentioned it and there may in fact be some problems.
