Frequently asked questions[edit]

How do I write an interesting hook?

Successful hooks tend to have several traits. Most importantly, they share a surprising or intriguing fact. They give readers enough context to understand the hook, but leave enough out to make them want to learn more. They are written for a general audience who has no prior knowledge of or interest in the topic area. Lastly, they are concise, and do not attempt to cover multiple facts or present information about the subject beyond what's needed to understand the hook.

When will my nomination be reviewed?

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first, it may take several weeks until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see instructions below).

Where is my hook?

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to this nominations page, it may have been approved and is on the approved nominations page waiting to be promoted. It could also have been added to one of the prep areas, promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.

If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the DYK discussion page, but as a general rule such nominations will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.


Instructions for reviewers[edit]

Main page: Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide

Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets all the DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article to which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the supplementary guidelines and the WP:Did you know/Reviewing guide.

To post a comment or review on a DYK nomination, follow the steps outlined below:

  • Look through this page, Template talk:Did you know, to find a nomination you would like to comment on.
  • Click the "Review or comment" link at the top of the nomination. You will be taken to the nomination subpage.
  • The top of the page includes a list of the DYK criteria. Check the article to ensure it meets all the relevant criteria.
  • To indicate the result of the review (i.e., whether the nomination passes, fails, or needs some minor changes), leave a signed comment on the page. Please begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed; your comment should look something like the following:

    Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.

    If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a line :* <!-- REPLACE THIS LINE TO WRITE FIRST COMMENT, KEEPING  :* --> showing you where you should put the comment.
  • Save the page.
  • After the nomination is approved, a bot will automatically list the nomination page on Template talk:Did you know/Approved.

If there is any problem or concern about a nomination, please consider notifying the nominator by placing {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page.

Advanced procedures[edit]

How to promote an accepted hook[edit]

At-a-glance instructions on how to promote an approved hook to a prep area
Check list for nomination review completeness
  1. Select a hook from the approved nominations page that has one of these ticks at the bottom post: .
  2. Check to make sure basic review requirements were completed.
    • Any outstanding issue following needs to be addressed before promoting.
  3. Check the article history for any substantive changes since it was nominated or reviewed.
  4. Images for the lead slot must be freely licensed. Fair-use images are not permitted. Images loaded on Commons that appear on the Main Page are automatically protected by KrinkleBot.
  5. Hook must be stated in both the article and source (which must be cited at the end of the article sentence where stated).
  6. Hook should make sense grammatically.
  7. Try to vary subject matters within each prep area.
  8. Try to select a funny, quirky or otherwise upbeat hook for the last or bottom hook in the set.
Steps to add a hook to prep
  • In one tab, open the nomination page of the hook you want to promote.
  • In a second tab, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.

Wanna skip all this fuss? Install WP:PSHAW instead! Does most of the heavy lifting for ya :)

  1. For hooks held for specific dates, refer to "Local update times" section on DYK Queue.
    • Completed Prep area number sets will be promoted by an administrator to corresponding Queue number.
  2. Copy and paste the hook into a chosen slot.
    • Make sure there's a space between ... and that, and a ? at the end.
    • Check that there's a bold link to the article.
  3. If it's the lead (first) hook, paste the image where indicated at the top of the template.
  4. Copy and paste ALL the credit information (the {{DYKmake}} and {{DYKnom}} templates) at the bottom
  5. Check your work in the prep's Preview mode.
    • At the bottom under "Credits", to the right of each article should have the link "View nom subpage" ; if not, a subpage parameter will need to be added to the DYKmake.
  6. Save the Prep page.
Closing the DYK nomination page
  1. At the upper left
    • Change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • Change |passed= to |passed=yes
  2. At the bottom
    • Just above the line containing

      }}<!--Please do not write below this line or remove this line. Place comments above this line.-->

      insert a new, separate line containing one of the following:
      To [[T:DYK/P1|Prep 1]]
      To [[T:DYK/P2|Prep 2]]
      To [[T:DYK/P3|Prep 3]]
      To [[T:DYK/P4|Prep 4]]
      To [[T:DYK/P5|Prep 5]]
      To [[T:DYK/P6|Prep 6]]
      To [[T:DYK/P7|Prep 7]]
    • Also paste the same thing into the edit summary.
  3. Check in Preview mode. Make sure everything is against a pale blue background (nothing outside) and there are no stray characters, like }}, at the top or bottom.
  4. Save.

For more information, please see T:TDYK#How to promote an accepted hook.

Handy copy sources:

  • To [[T:DYK/P1|Prep 1]]
  • To [[T:DYK/P2|Prep 2]]
  • To [[T:DYK/P3|Prep 3]]
  • To [[T:DYK/P4|Prep 4]]
  • To [[T:DYK/P5|Prep 5]]
  • To [[T:DYK/P6|Prep 6]]
  • To [[T:DYK/P7|Prep 7]]

How to remove a rejected hook[edit]

  • Open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to remove. (It's best to wait several days after a reviewer has rejected the hook, just in case someone contests or the article undergoes a large change.)
  • In the window where the DYK nomination subpage is open, replace the line {{DYKsubpage with {{subst:DYKsubpage, and replace |passed= with |passed=no. Then save the page. This has the effect of wrapping up the discussion on the DYK nomination subpage in a blue archive box and stating that the nomination was unsuccessful, as well as adding the nomination to a category for archival purposes.

How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue[edit]

  • Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
  • Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there should have been a link to it in the credits section).
    • View the edit history for that page
    • Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
    • Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
  • Add a transclusion of the template back to this page so that reviewers can see it. It goes under the date that it was first created/expanded/listed as a GA. You may need to add back the day header for that date if it had been removed from this page.
  • If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.

How to move a nomination subpage to a new name[edit]

  • Don't; it should not ever be necessary, and will break some links which will later need to be repaired. Even if you change the title of the article, you don't need to move the nomination page.

East Quoddy Head Light, a.k.a. Head Harbour Lighthouse
  • ... that there's an East Quoddy Head Lighthouse (pictured) and a West Quoddy Head Lighthouse across the bay from one another (in matching colors!) but that one is in Canada and the other is in the United States? Source: https://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=1022
    • Reviewed:
    • Comment: East Quoddy and West Quoddy are an adorable pair of lighthouses in the Bay of Fundy between Maine, USA and New Brunswick, Canada. They're both painted a bright red and white, (with America's in patriotic stripes and Canada's with a classic St. George's Cross,) and are just a delightful twin site. I noticed there wasn't an article for East Quoddy (a.k.a. Head Harbour Light), so I wrote one up and am submitting this now, hopefully you like it!

Created by Garnet Moss (talk). Self-nominated at 03:32, 4 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Head Harbour Lighthouse; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • I'm not sure this qualifies as a reliable source, it appears to be the self-published work of an amateur. nableezy - 16:27, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a thorough, secondary source for information about many lighthouses, which further cites primary sources. I'm happy to submit other links to more authoritative sources, but I chose this one because it included info about both East and West Quoddy in the same body of text, so it seemed most relevant. (Also, sorry if this is bad protocol, this is my first DYK!) Garnet Moss (talk) 23:12, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It is secondary sure, but it is self-published and I dont see anything indicating the author has academic works on the topic to make it a usable self-published source. So yes, please do include some other source for the statement. Thanks, nableezy - 14:17, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure thing; I'll note the "statement" is essentially just that this pair of lighthouses exists on the bay. If a simple tourism page would work, there's this one from the New Brunswick tourism department's website, noting that the lighthouse is twinned with West Quoddy. If something more 'serious' would be preferred, I'd have to cite a pair of pages, like this one from the official Canadian Register of Historic Places website, in conjunction with this one from the offician American National Register of Historic Places website. These don't reference one another, but they site the location in the same bay. Hopefully one of these options would work! Garnet Moss (talk) 03:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Im sorry, maybe I just dont have enough background here, but the tourism site just says It is the older sister light of West Quoddy Light in Lubec, Maine. It doesn't support the matching colors, which I know you can see from photos, but I dont know if this really rises to supported by a reliable source for the hook. nableezy - 16:19, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not entirely sure how to respond, I disagree with that assessment. They're sister lights, as is described in multiple sources, and their colors match. I think the sourcing is adequate. But if the consensus is against that, then I could just rewrite it! Maybe something along the lines of "... that East Quoddy Head Lighthouse (pictured) and West Quoddy Head Light are twin lighthouses on Passamaquoddy Bay, one in Canada and the other in the United States?" Or I'm happy to take other suggestions. Garnet Moss (talk) 02:32, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Passing through; but you can keep the original ALT0, I think—except the rather unencyclopedic bit about color?—using

  • Jones, Ray (2023). Lighthouses of New England: From Maine to Long Island Sound. Rowman & Littlefield. pp. 7–8. ISBN 978-1-4930-4727-7.

Or, how about, something more "ironic" (author's words not mine!):

ALT1 ... that the most easterly point of the United States is the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, off the coast of Maine?

The name of this light is ironic, since the tower stands on the easternmost point of land in the United States. Situated on a forty-foot-high cliff, the light overlooks Quoddy Narrows, which separates the United States from Canada. Across this channel lies Campobello Island, with East Quoddy Head at its northeastern end; hence the name West Quoddy Head for the American light. West Quoddy is among the oldest lights in Maine.

Will review if required. Paging discussants: @Garnet Moss, Z1720, and Nableezy:. Cheers, ——Serial Number 54129 18:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input, that's a great additional source and a good idea for an alternative basis for the DYK. I'd propose an amended original, plus a new version based on your suggestion, whichever is preferred! First,
Alt2 * "... that there is an East Quoddy Head Lighthouse (pictured) and a West Quoddy Head Lighthouse across the bay from one another, but that one is in Canada and the other is in the United States?"
and second,
What do people think? Garnet Moss (talk) 18:37, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the hook/source from Serial Number 54129 works, and if he wants to review I'm happy to withdraw from this one. nableezy - 18:30, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Serial Number 54129: Do you plan on returning to this nom?--Launchballer 10:30, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies @Launchballer and Nableezy: I'm afraid I forgot about this. Nableezy, were you thinking of passing ALT1? I have no problem passing it over to you if that's OK (perhaps greater transparency that way, in any case!). You OK with that? ——Serial Number 54129 12:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Serial Number 54129 all yours. nableezy - 16:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Garnet Moss Since everyone seems to waffling on finishing this, I am taking over as reviewer. The article is new enough and long enough. I like Alt3 as a hook. The article currently does not state the hook fact as clearly as in the hook, and it doesn't have an inline citation to a reliable reference. That needs to be fixed before the hook can be approved. There are major WP:Verifiability problems with this article. In general, the referencing needs to be significantly improved before this can pass the WP:DYKCITE criteria. There are several paragraphs ending without inline citations, and much of the article is cited to www.lighthousefriends.com which is a WP:SELFPUBLISHED WP:BLOG. I note that the blogger has done the kindness of providing a bibliography to reliable RS, so I suggest trying to get a hold of those sources, and using those in the article instead. Unfortunately the blog itself is not usable for wikipedia's purposes as a reference. Likewise https://tourismnewbrunswick.ca/listing/head-harbour-lightstation-east-quoddy-head-lightstation , while a government website, is specifically a marketing department and is therefore questionable as a source for its lack of neutrality (if you are trying to trump of tourism, you aren't a neutral source). It also has no attributed author. Both of these websites need to be removed from the article as sources, and a minimum of two high quality independent references must be added to replace them. The source by Jones above is not even cited in the article currently, and would make one good addition to the article. Overall, this article is nowhere close to being ready for DYK. Given the age of the nom, I am putting a one week clock on this article to fix the above issues. If it isn't ready by then, I will be rejecting the hook.4meter4 (talk) 05:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: QPQ not needed. The article contains significant uncited material, and the hook fact is not itself cited in the article. These issues need to be resolved Homerethegreat. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:02, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Homerethegreat: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 02:35, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the sentence in a clear manner as requested. Apologies for the late response. Homerethegreat (talk) 21:05, 2 March 2024 (UTC) Regarding sourcing, is this alright: https://smarthistory.org/synagogue-dura-europos/ ? Thank you for your time. Homerethegreat (talk) 21:09, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: Is this ready to be approved? If not, what else needs to be done? Z1720 (talk) 18:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
there are still entire paragraphs with no citations, failing WP:DYKCITE. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry @AirshipJungleman29:, @Z1720: I did not notice, I must have associated the outline with the lead for some reason. I've fixed it. Anything else? Homerethegreat (talk) 07:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: Have your concerns been resolved? Is there anything else that needs to happen for this to be approved? Z1720 (talk) 15:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see where the article states, or which citation supports, the assertion that Dura-Europa "epitomizes" ancient Jewish art. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and it plainly isn't true! When the murals were uncovered about a century ago everyone was astonished. There might be a hook in that. For refs see the article on the site, which I've linked in the hook. Johnbod (talk) 02:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Homerethegreat: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 19:07, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify, any number of hooks saying that they are the most impressive/extensive etc ancient Jewish murals would be correct, & should be easy to reference. What they are emphatically not is in any way typical of other survivals. They are unique & stand alone, so "epitome" is not the right word. Johnbod (talk) 04:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for late response but I will be able to address the issue only later. In the meanwhile if you prefer another word to “epitome” than please feel free to change to whatever best suits Wiki rules, I agree it’s not the right word in retrospect so it can be changed to “characterized”. Thank you for the understanding. Homerethegreat (talk) 07:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the issues cannot be addressed in a timely manner, the DYK should be closed as unsuccessful. The review was started a month and a half ago and the problems have still not been fixed. Fritzmann (message me) 15:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • ' The article is currently in a good state and the verification issues were addressed. However, the hook as written does not match the text of the article. Even with the suggested language modification, it doesn't really work. We need a new hook. Given the age of the nom, I'm putting a time clock of one week to get a new hook proposed and passed. @ Homerethegreat Please provide a new hook. The hook must match exactly or close to exactly the prose text found within the article with an inline citation to a reliable source. The failure of the last hook was largely due to the fact that article's prose did not match the hook fact closely. Keep that in mind when proposing a new hook. Get this done ASAP or we will be rejecting this nomination.4meter4 (talk) 16:18, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I propose the following:
alt1 ... did you know that in ancient Jewish art, symbolic motifs such as the menorah were incorporated, the latter becoming a symbol of the Jewish people? “ citation: https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/jewa/hd_jewa.htm
I hope this is alright, feel free to change it. Thank you for the opportunity to try again. Homerethegreat (talk) 18:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Homerethegreat This is a good attempt but I notice that the article itself has a more nuanced take on the use of the menorah. I would suggest the following based on the article's language:
alt2 ... that in ancient Jewish art the menorah was originally used sparingly, but after the destruction of the Second Temple it evolved into a frequently used symbol of the Jewish people?
I will need another reviewer to examine this hook since I proposed it. @Homerethegreat It would be helpful to that reviewer to provide the sources for that information to verify the hook below. 4meter4 (talk) 20:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
4meter4 Sure no problem, but perhaps it’s best to say Second Temple since the first temple was also destroyed and we don’t want to confuse anyone. Homerethegreat (talk) 04:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer for alt2 hook needed.4meter4 (talk) 20:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see an end-of-sentence citation for the sentence containing the word 'sparingly'.--Launchballer 20:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Homerethegreat did you see the comment by Launchballer He is requesting that an inline citation be added to the sentence: "Symbols such as the menorah and the shewbread table were used sparingly, primarily as representations of priestly duties." At DYK we require any sentence with content found in a hook fact to have an inline citation directly following that information. It can't just be a citation at the end of a paragraph.4meter4 (talk) 15:52, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing it out 4meter4, I clarified the sentence pointed out by Launchballer and added an inline citation directly based on the source, it is in Hebrew and speaks also of Jewish religious authorities initially opposing such figurative expressions of the objects of the Temple. Is there anything else? Homerethegreat (talk) 19:32, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer does this satisfy your concerns?4meter4 (talk) 19:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have just noticed a large amount of close paraphrasing in the article; see the talk page for an example. The article has been tagged, and will likely need a near-complete rewrite. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @2x2leax: Since this is your sixth nomination, you will need to provide a QPQ for this to proceed. Z1720 (talk) 19:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720: I have done edits on this nomination for QPQ before starting this one. Are those edits valid? --2x2leax (talk) 20:50, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@2x2leax: Did you review all of the criteria in that nomination? All I see is that you reviewed the ALT1 hook. Z1720 (talk) 00:35, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, I recommended ALT1 as well as I have read sources used as citations for the hook. If that isn't enough, I will start reviewing for QPQ. --2x2leax (talk) 07:56, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On a second look, I think this QPQ will work, but I will let another reviewer take a look when they review this DYK. Z1720 (talk) 19:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revieewer needed. Z1720 (talk) 19:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, that absolutely does not count as a WP:QPQ. Please complete a full review of another article, assessing the criteria at WP:DYKRI.--Launchballer 20:58, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ Launchballer I am going to overule this and agree with Z1720 that we should accept it as a QPQ given that 2x2leax did the work of getting that hook over into the approved side of a DYK. The whole point of QPQ is to clear the backlog, and 2x2 did the work of sheperding another person's hook nomination past the finish line. Given that 2x2leax is just barely past the five DYK mark, I would say this counts as a good faith attempt at a first QPQ. Let's not clog up DYK by being pedantic over QPQ rules, and let a proper review of this nom go forward so we can get it cleared.4meter4 (talk) 16:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2x2leax: Created on the 13th and nominated within seven days and the article is 2751 characters so it is long enough. The QPQ is done, the tone of the article is neutral and the hook is interesting.
  1. Green tickY First, the hook fact is cited and in the lead. It is best practice to use the lead as a summary/introduction and then cite that material in the body. it is not a Disqualifier the way you did it.
  2. Red XN Second, there is a citation needed tag which needs attention.

  • Article is new enough and long enough. Hook fact accepted in good faith to foreign language source. However, the article uses only two references, only one of which appears to be reliable. The temple.dinamalar.com website appears to be a user generated website with no editorial controls. It should be removed entirely from the article as an unreliable source. All that remains would be the article from Maalaimalar: Tamil News; which is fine as a news source. What's sorely lacking here is any reference works from a reliable publisher with a more academic look at the temple. There really needs to be some better references added to the article to pass WP:DYKCITE.4meter4 (talk) 00:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
4meter4, temple.dinamalar.com is a temple-centric website by Dinamalar, not user-generated. The original website is in Tamil language. Maalai Malar and Dinamalar are both established news houses. I have also added the Tamil Times of India version reference.Redtigerxyz Talk 05:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... There's no attributed author. It looks more like a business listing. I'm not sure that this would constitute an independent reference or not. It would be helpful to know whether this was an independently put together listing, or whether the news service was paid to host these pages by participating temples. Is there some place where the website is explained in terms of editorial process/controls over these temple pages? 4meter4 (talk) 06:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
4meter4, https://temple.dinamalar.com/ - the main website is in Tamil, is very active with news items on temples. Dinamalar also publishes a Tamil temple-centric weekly magazine (Anmega Malar) https://ipaper.dinamalar.com/#anmegamalar, which is also linked in the main Tamil site. The article is also available on https://temple.dinamalar.com/new.php?id=1379, the Tamil site. I have added other Kannada and Hindi references.Redtigerxyz Talk 12:00, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Biodiversity Impact Credit

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Biodiversity Impact Credit; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • Comment. @Pinkchiken: Your hook oversimplifies and overpromises. "Designed to reduce risk" is not the same as "all you have to do is buy these Biodiversity Impact Credit to stop species extinction" which is what the hook you originally proposed suggests. Cielquiparle (talk) 08:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response. @Cielquiparle: Good point. I'd like to change the hook to "... that species extinction risk can be reduced by buying Biodiversity Impact Credits?" This version does not over-promise. You can buy the credits only if there is a corresponding project which has generated a reduction in mean species extinction risk. When you buy the credit, you cover the cost of the project (or part of), so you contribute to making it happen. If this logic was not correct we'd not be allowed to say that a donation to Oxfam reduces poverty in the world. Please could you help me revise the proposal such that it does not return to the back of the queue? Pinkchiken 17 March 2024 (UTC)
  • My suggestion would be along the lines of:
@Pinkchiken: I have suggested a better "safer" ALT hook above. Thus I am no longer eligible to review this, but perhaps we can find another reviewer now. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cielquiparle: Thank you. What I meant to ask was how to technically revise the proposal. But I think I got it: I just edited the text in this page. Let's see what another reviewer thinks. I'm trying to avoid watering the hook down so much that it might become unattractive to readers.

Needs a full review. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article was nominated within a week of being moved to mainspace from AfC, so is new enough. I'm not even going to check the length, it is way more than long enough. The article is properly in-line cited and the copyvio detector finds no issues. The hook topic is kind of the entire topic of the article, so there's multiple sentences I could say are cited in-line for it. So I'm going to count that one as good. Honestly, Cielquiparle, I prefer Pinkchiken's hook. I find it to still be an accurate description and it's a more interesting, quippy way to phrase things. Other than that, they're a new nominator, so no QPQ is required. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 16:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Silver seren: Sure, ALT0 may be a quippier hook, but it's possible during a 24-hour run on the main page that another reader like myself will ask where the evidence is that they do in fact reduce species extinction risk...especially if the source cited is so WP:WEASEL in wording. In which case at least you have a backup hook now rather than have to pull the hook entirely. Cielquiparle (talk) 19:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Needs more work. Referencing isn't up to scratch as discussed at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Biodiversity Impact Credit. I would also suggest that the content of the lead be distributed throughout the article, and a new lead be written that summarises the article. This would make the article comply with WP:LEAD. I'd fail this nomination if this aspect wasn't tidied up. Schwede66 23:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, totally missed the ping. The hook is still a little iffy though. Granted that's what the source suggests, but technically the full hook fact is not in the article. What is currently explained in the article is how one is "forced" into inviting one's friends (perhaps the hook should make that clear too), but that does not necessarily lead to an app topping the charts. Just tighten the hook and we should be good to go! Cheers, KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 16:20, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The currently-proposed hook is a bit hard to understand or read. Maybe it can be rephrased to make the context clearer?

Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - The first hook references an article by StatPearls, which is a potentially controversial source - see for example this discussion. Moreover, according to the StatPearl source, PIH may in some cases take years to resolve without treatment. On the other hand, acne as a cause of PIH is non-controversial (the hook could be citing reference number 3); and reference number 2 does mention that it resolves in most cases "within 6–12 months of treating the underlying inflammatory condition". Both these references are perfect medical sources anyway, so I think all will be fine if these two references are cited for the hook instead. Some rephrasing may also be warrantied, to allow for the facts that acne needs to be treated (or resolve) for PIH to go away; that hyperpigmentation is not generalized, but localized (ref 2: "brown, black, or gray macules or patches in the pattern of an underlying inflammatory condition"); and that it can be even more than 12 months. ALT1, is fine, though it can also cite ref 3.
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Primary hook more interesting and catchy than ALT1. With some changes in the hook and the hook's reference, as described above, I strongly urge advancing it; this is my second DYK review, so I would appreciate a more experienced reviewer to make the final decision.

  • The problem I have with this article is that this isn't a particularly 'good' 1,400+ characters; lose the three WP:SEAOFBLUE lists, and we're at little over 1,000. Even if we were to count the content in boxes, virtually all of the Description column is unsourced. I am reminded of arguments made earlier this month at 2024 Netball Nations Cup. In short, I wouldn't say no, but I'd want to see some more work on this. (Note also that I do my QPQs oldest first; other editors are free to jump in ahead of me.)--Launchballer 10:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Thank you for your review! I understand the policies; I still think that the table contains some substantial prose, and substantial encyclopedic content (unlike - I dare say - 2024 Netball Nations Cup). I believe the table format works well here, and changing it to prose would not serve a purpose other than to make it DYK-eligible. I do not think your concerns that the lead is not very substantial are unwarranted; though I truly don't think more introductory content, other than an outline of endocrinology as a medical specialty, is either needed, or indeed to be located in the sources. My seas of blue - which by the way are not the truest ones, as they are separated by commas - serve exactly to outline endocrinology, and I don't see why they should be excluded.
As regards citations, they are absent from (almost) all boxes in the Description column because the citations in the end of each row, under Uses, cover the respective descriptions as well. My research before nominating yielded few standalone lists in the DYK archives that I could use as guides, and not an absolutely clear policy on where in a table row inline citations must be placed. (Full disclosure: I do not exactly comprehend what WP:WHENNOTCITE tries to say about lists and tables). I also note Featured Lists from the sciences with somewhat comparable ostensibly uncited columns, like List of parasites of the marsh rice rat or Camouflage methods. In any case, the description of the ultrasound system is in citation 4, of a continuous glucose monitor in citations 7 and 8, and so on. Still, if you feel inline citations should be repeated there as well, that's no biggy.
Thoughts? NikosGouliaros (talk) 16:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm with you, this article is a bit better than the cup article. With the benefit of a few days, I wonder if it's worth letting the lists 'breathe' a bit, for example "the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, the thyroid" or "various diseases of the thyroid gland such as X, various metabolic bone disorders such as Y". I made a test edit, and I got it up to 1,497 without the "such as"es.--Launchballer 10:29, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, I apologise if I worded it incorrectly in the article, but the seclusion of the village being surrounded by reef knolls made it a safe haven during Scottish raids and the Civil War.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - I'm not sure about the hook, given that the article states, "The site of Wolvesey has been the home of the Bishop of Winchester since at least the late 10th century". This seems to contradict the idea that the castle was built on remains from the 12th century. I would be interested in seeing this explained a bit more in the article for clarity. Further, I am more interested in ALT1.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article was created as a redirect in 2011, then Godtres created the article on March 2, 2024. There are some questions regarding specific dates, as well as discussion regarding the remains noted above. Otherwise, I think this is looking good.

@Significa liberdade: Thank you so much for taking the time to review this nomination and the article itself. All your suggestions have been helpful, although I have made a few further edits. I've hopefully reworded the article to be clearer on the 12th-century remains. The buildings before the 12th century were not stone, so have been entirely destroyed. There was a chapel built in the 12th century (one of the first stone buildings). A new chapel was built in the 15th century on its remains, which survives. The rest of the palace was not built on 12th century remains. I worry with ALT1 that it is more relevant to Wolvesey Castle than Wolvesey Palace, which is the article I am nominating.

  • My first thought reading this was "that's not 34 characters".

    • @Launchballer: Just for some clarity, the (Chinese) name is " 李我要單列族名我的布農族名字是Savungaz Valincinan", which is translated to the following. There are some publications that remark the spectacle of it being 34 characters in length such as: "34 characters! Legislative candidate with the longest name in next year's general election hopes the government will pay attention to the demand for a separate ethnic name" ("34字！明年大選名字最長立委參選人 盼政府重視單列族名訴求 - 政治 - 自由時報電子報") but that is a whole other fish to fry because it removes a bit of the spectacle if I had included a sentence in a whole other language for the hook.

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: A finely put together article improving the coverage of food, Southeast Asia, and women. The article was new enough at the time of nomination, and it's long enough. There's a source at the end of every paragraph or quote (at the end of most sentences), and the hook is cited at its sentence. Earwig's detector comes back 20%, which from my reading is attributable to the quotations. The hook is interesting, since a Fifties aesthetic and Michelin fine-dining don't usually go together in one's mind. QPQ is done as well. There are only two minor problems—@Cunard: first, the text of the Time Out Shanghai article on its own doesn't actually make that Bai Liang Phad Khai includes eggs—it only makes clear the leaves and shrimp (the images don't load from where I'm reading, so if the information was in the images, that may be why I'm having trouble verifying that bit). Second, I think the summarization of the Frommer's source to say that both Raya and One Chun serve roast duck and crab curry is slightly off. Frommer's states, Raya’s sister restaurant, One Chun, also serves the famous crab curry along with a host of cheaper Thai classics, like roasted duck in red curry. The wording of "along with a host of cheaper Thai classics" I think means that while roasted duck is one of the "cheaper Thai classics" that One Chun also serves, alongside the crab curry that both Raya and One Chun serves (meaning Frommer's verifies that One Chun serves roast duck, but not that Raya serves roast duck; it does verify that both serve crab curry).

    • I agree and have tagged it as such. It's quite funny how the "Reception" section contains less reception (all positive, of course) than has beem inserted indiscriminately throughout the article. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:35, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • I revised the article to shorten and have fewer quotes as recommended by Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Impartial tone, which says, "Try not to quote directly from participants engaged in a heated dispute; instead, summarize and present the arguments in an impartial, formal tone." I hope this addresses editors' concerns. As the Wikipedia's article author, I do not have a conflict of interest with the restaurant. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Due and undue weight says, "Neutrality requires that mainspace articles and pages fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in those sources". I have complied with this policy by fairly representing reliable sources' viewpoint about the restaurant. Regarding "all positive, of course", I conducted an exhaustive search for reliable sources about the restaurant. I did not find negative coverage of the restaurant in reliable sources. Adding negative information about the restaurant to the article when it is unsupported by reliable sources would violate the neutral point of view and verifiability policies. Cunard (talk) 19:49, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • The minor edits you have made do nothing to make the article less like an advert or press release. IMHO the article needs a complete rewrite. The first major issue is the in-depth coverage of the menu. A good part of the lead and the largest section of the article is devoted to the menu. If you look at similar restaurant articles, the menu only takes up a paragraph at the most. Secondly, it needs to be written more objectively with less 'bigging up'. For example, Thai starlets in the source becomes Thai celebrities in the article. John B123 (talk) 23:14, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          • Two concerns have been raised: (1) the menu section is too long and (2) the article is not written neutrally. I find the premise of (1) to be inaccurate. I welcome feedback about (2).
            1. If you look at similar restaurant articles, the menu only takes up a paragraph at the most. – I do not know what the "similar" qualifier in "similar restaurant articles" means. There are featured articles and good articles about restaurants with "Menu" or "Cuisine" sections that are three or more paragraphs long. The only featured article about a restaurant is Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, which has a three-paragraph "Food" section. There are numerous good articles about restaurants. There are good articles with a five-paragraph "Cuisine" section, a four-paragraph "Cuisine" section, a four-paragraph "Menu" section, a three-paragraph "Menu" section, and a three-paragraph "Cuisine" section.

              Alongside a restaurant's history and decor, its menu and cuisine is a very important part of its background. One Chun's "Dishes" section is three paragraphs, while its "History" and "Decor" sections are much smaller. That is because reliable sources spend considerable space discussing and critiquing the restaurant's dishes, much more than they discuss other aspects of the restaurant like its history and decor. As such, a three-paragraph summary of what the sources said about the menu—and three sentences in the lead—complies with the due weight policy.

            2. Secondly, it needs to be written more objectively with less 'bigging up'. For example, Thai starlets in the source becomes Thai celebrities in the article. – when revising the article based on comments in this DYK nomination, I paraphrased the "Thai starlets" quote to be "Thai celebrities". As "celebrities" is "bigging up" compared to "starlets", I've modified the sentence to use "Thai starlets" again.

              The sources are universally positive about the restaurants' dishes and decor. I believe the article complies with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view in fairly representing the sources' viewpoints. I do not believe "the article needs a complete rewrite". I sometimes overlook things like the "Thai celebrities" issue you pointed out, so I welcome specific feedback about how to make it "written more objectively with less 'bigging up'".

            • The articles you link to are generally larger articles, so the menu/cuisine sections form a proportionally smaller part of the article. Reliable sources spend considerable space discussing and critiquing the restaurant's dishes, most of the references in the Dishes section are short mentions in 'Where to eat in Phuket' type articles or directory entries such as Lonely Planet. WP:NOTPRICE seems to be applicable here: An article should not include product pricing or availability information (which can vary widely with time and location) unless there is an independent source and encyclopedic significance for the mention, which may be indicated by mainstream media sources or books (not just product reviews) providing commentary on these details instead of just passing mention. John B123 (talk) 08:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
              • For the featured and good articles I linked, there is plenty of coverage about the restaurants' history, decor, and menu, so the menu sections must "form a proportionally smaller part of [those] article[s]". For this article, there is less coverage about the restaurant's history and decor but more coverage about the menu, so the menu must form a proportionally larger part of the article. The decision of how much to cover should be done on a case-by-case basis reliant on how much reliable sources cover each area. The length of this Wikipedia article's menu section does not make it violate Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.

                WP:NOTPRICE says:

                A resource for conducting business. Neither articles nor their associated talk pages are for conducting the business of the topic of the article. Listings to be avoided include, but are not limited to: business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, contact information, patent filings, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions. An article should not include product pricing or availability information (which can vary widely with time and location) unless there is an independent source and encyclopedic significance for the mention, which may be indicated by mainstream media sources or books (not just product reviews) providing commentary on these details instead of just passing mention. Wikipedia is not a price comparison service to compare prices and availability of competing products or a single product from different vendors. Lists of creative works are permitted. Thus, for example, Wikipedia should not include a list of all books published by HarperCollins, but may include a bibliography of books written by HarperCollins author Veronica Roth.

                The information in the "Dishes" section is not a "A resource for conducting business". It is not a listing of "products and services". It is not "product pricing or availability information".

                It is information from "independent source[s]" with "encyclopedic significance for the mention". It is information from "mainstream media sources or books (not just product reviews) providing commentary on these details instead of just passing mention". The "Where to eat in Phuket" type articles and the Lonely Planet book are not "just passing mention[s]". They provide a few sentences to a paragraph about the subject that includes "commentary on these details".

                This is why I provided in-text attribution of reviewers' commentary contextualising and critiquing the dishes.

                If the first paragraph of the "Dishes" section was written like this, it would violate WP:NOTPRICE for being a listing without any "commentary on details":

                "One's Chun's dishes include crab curry made with coconut milk, Nam Prik Goong Siab, Mu Hong, and roasted red pork."

                But the first paragraph of the "Dishes" section includes "commentary on details" through contextualisation and critiquing so does not violate WP:NOTPRICE:

                Lonely Planet's Isabella Noble praised the restaurant for its seafood, citing its crab curry made with coconut milk. One Chun serves Nam Prik Goong Siab, a spicy entrée made with shrimp paste and containing dried shrimp that has been deep fried, giving it a "savoury crunchiness". The dish includes vegetables to alleviate the peppery taste, which Kasidit Srivilai of the Michelin Guide said "balanc[es] the mixture's saltiness and sourness". Two meat dishes are Mu Hong, a pork belly stew made with low-temperature cooking and flavored with the spices pepper and garlic, and roasted red pork.

                The "Cuisine" section of the good article Gage and Tollner discusses in substantial detail that restaurant's cuisine and menu throughout the years, while its reception section includes critics' commentary about the cuisine and service. For the "Dishes" section of One Chun's Wikipedia article, I chose to have the menu section include critics' commentary. This is up to editorial discretion. Both approaches are policy-compliant editorial decisions.

                • I note we have gone from reliable sources spend considerable space discussing and critiquing the restaurant's dishes to provide a few sentences to a paragraph about the subject that includes "commentary on these details", which is still overgenerous in a lot of cases. In my view the Dishes section is availability information so WP:NOTPRICE is applicable. No matter how you try and fit WP policies and guidelines to what has been written, the article still comes as a promotion for the restaurant. John B123 (talk) 10:41, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
                  • There is no conflict between my two statements. The "Where to eat in Phuket" type articles and the Lonely Planet book provide a few sentences to a paragraph about the restaurant's dishes. Collectively, the reliable sources spend considerable space discussing and critiquing the restaurant's dishes. I explained why WP:NOTPRICE is not violated: "availability information" does not violate the policy when there is "there is an independent source and encyclopedic significance for the mention". I linked to a featured article and multiple good articles about restaurants that discuss their menu in a similar way to this article, showing this is standard practice for restaurant articles.

                    Although I consider the WP:NOTPRICE concern to be unsupported by policy or practice, I remain open to feedback about specific parts of the article that can be "written more objectively with less 'bigging up'". Cunard (talk) 11:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

                    • Adding 'collectively' before 'the reliable sources spend considerable space discussing and critiquing the restaurant's dishes' makes a huge difference to the meaning of your original statement. You explanation of why you think WP:NOTPRICE is not applicable is fundamentally flawed. Firstly, phrases like another crab dish the restaurant serves is crab spring rolls require a huge stretch of the imagination to be thought of as of encyclopedic significance. Secondly, many of the sources used just give the restaurant a passing mention.
I'd draw your attention to the SNG for restaurants WP:RESTAURANTREVIEWS. This establishes the types of reviews that are 'significant' and can be included towards notability. Most of the reviews used in the article fail the test to be 'significant'. The SNG goes on to cover independent reviews and states Often, sponsored nature of a review is not disclosed and not immediately apparent. In particular, a strong indication of a sponsored or other relationship is a review that is excessively positive or negative Later it is stated Once notability is established, non-independent reviews may be used to verify some non-controversial facts in the article (e.g. number of employees, number of tables in a restaurant, product models) This suggests to me that reviews needs to be demonstrably independent or just used to verify non-controversial facts. What somebody thinks is a good dish is subjective and therefore potentially controversial. John B123 (talk) 21:04, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
                      • It has the same effect with regard to proportionality of coverage within the article. Regarding WP:NOTPRICE, I've removed the sentence about crab rolls. I consider the sources in the article to be independent reliable sources. Which sources do you consider to be possibly sponsored or "non-independent reviews" that are being used to describe "What somebody thinks is a good dish"? Cunard (talk) 22:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looking at the sources, and in the same order as the refs section:
  1. Manager Daily - looks like a paid piece, no author given
  2. Michelin Guide - Sound source
  3. SMH - Brief mention extracted from Michelin Guide
  4. Thansettakij - Churnalism based on the Michelin Guide
  5. Thaiger - Obvious churnalism, the author, Ye Man Pyae, seems to specialise in 'best of' articles ranging from eateries to nursery schools to best best places to teach English in Thailand (teach not learn)
  6. BK - Short listing, nothing there that's not on One Chun's Facebook which it links to
  7. Lonely Planet Thailand - Single sentence listing
  8. Lonely Planet Phuket - 3 sentence listing
  9. Michelin Guide - Sound source
  10. Manager Daily - Probably churnalism, no author given
  11. SMH - single sentence mention
  12. Nation - 2 sentence listing
  13. Michelin Guide - Sound source
  14. Manager Daily - Passing mention (half a sentence)
  15. Michelin Guide - Sound source
  16. Lifestyle Asia - Looks independent, information here that doesn't seem to be elsewhere. Probably too short to count towards notability, but still a reliable source IMHO.
  17. Timeout - Looks independent, but again probably too short to count towards notability
  18. CNN - Passing mention
  19. Manager Daily - Passing mention
  20. Frommers - Passing mention in (paid?) article about sister restaurant Raya
  21. Manager Daily - 7 sentences in a long article promting the Nissan X-Trail. As this an obvious promotional article, I doubt it would be considered a reliable source.
  22. Australian - Passing mention
  23. Khaosod - Passing mention

Having your specific concerns enumerated is very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to review all the sources. Some of the sources were listed as short or being churnalism for reporting on the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand designation. I do not consider either of those attributes as causing those sources to be unreliable so will not go into detail on those sources. The reliability of three sources—Manager Daily, Frommer's, and The Thaiger—was questioned, so I will discuss them below.

Manager Daily is a national business newspaper with a circulation of 300,000 in 2016. From my observations and a review of its articles, Manager Daily generally does not use bylines. A lack of bylines is standard for Thai journalism. According to this Routledge book, "Front-page political news stories in Thai language newspapers never carried a by-line; indeed, by-lines were rare for news stories anywhere in the Thai press, other than some weekly magazines. In part this reflected Thai traditions of journalism, but it also derived from the fact that these stories really did not have a single author."

I consider Manager Daily to be a reputable newspaper. From this working paper by Ramkhamhaeng University faculty member Suchart Sriyaranya:

Some newspapers pay a high monthly salary or even pay more for one article than their competitors. Many well-known academics write as columnists in Manager Daily on this basis. Manager Daily rose to become the most successful newspaper during an era of economic boom in Thailand. It was started as a weekly business magazine and later developed to be a daily newspaper. Its editorial direction is different from that of Matichon Daily. While Matichon represents mostly progressive readers, Manager Daily has targeted a rising group of younger urban professionals or Yuppies who work in business sectors. As it can offer the good-quality daily articles written by many famous intellectuals, as well as provide the news contents in focussing in the business sectors, Manager has succeeded in combining its globalized image with the contributions of academics and information demands of bussiness groups.

These articles are positive restaurant reviews written by Manager Daily's travel and food team. I do not think Manager Daily would publish sponsored articles without disclosure.

Frommer's is a reputable travel guide publisher. The Frommer's review rated One Chun's sister restaurant two out of three stars. I think a paid article would give three out of three stars, not two.

The Thaiger is a source with a less established history and the concerns about the author, a junior journalist, are valid. I've removed the content based on The Thaiger from the article.

I would have expected the phrase "received fewer votes". Not a dealbreaker in anyway, it just catches me off guard and wanted to flag it.

  • The hook does not meet the interestingness criterion as it is not likely to be perceived as interesting or unusual to a non-specialist audience. Merely saying that something opened on a particular date is not really hooky. I'd suggest proposing additional hooks instead. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:43, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry I've been slow to respond. I'll try to come up with a suggested change later today. Bneu2013 (talk) 15:08, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Update, Narutolovehinata5, the subject of my proposed hook was the fact that this was the first section of Interstate Highway opened in Tennessee, not the date it opened. I've seen similar hooks like this before. However, I can propose some tweaks. How about "...that the first section of Interstate Highway in Tennessee was a section of Interstate 65 near the Alabama state line?". Or "...that the first section of Interstate Highway in Tennessee was a section of Interstate 65 near the Alabama state line, opened in 1958?". Alternatively I could do "...that Interstate 65 was the first Interstate Highway in Tennessee to open?" However, that could be mistaken as implying that I-65 was the first Interstate Highways in Tennessee to be completed, which is not true. Bneu2013 (talk) 07:07, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So I guess something like this then?
ALT1 ... that a section of Interstate 65 was the first part of the Interstate Highway System to open in Tennessee?
Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ALT1 is confirmed and in the article. I guess it could be mildly interesting. The article was made a good article on March 6 and nominated the same day so it qualifies. In the credits the nominator said it was created but it should say improved to Good Article. The nominator has 11 nominations but I do not see a QPQ offered here (it was supposed to be done within 7 days per WP:QPQ) so that needs to be done before I can approve. I do not find evidence of plagiarism (Earwig >5%) and the article uses the correct inline citations. The article is neutral. Regarding the image, it has been uploaded by the nominator with a free license tag and I see that it comes from a book which was prepared by D.W. Moulton Commissioner of the Department of Highways and Public Works of the State of Tennessee. It is not the work of a Federal employee so I am unsure about using it on the main page. I do not see a copyright notice on the book so I could be wrong. It is ok for a promotor to look at the license and come to a different conclusion about the image.

Overall: Readable prose size expanded from 410 words to now 2045 words (2045/410=4.99... I'm going to defer to someone more senior than me on whether rounding up for this is fine). Copyvio check good. Two QPQs done. ALT0 doesn't have a source linked (I'm guessing it's this source from the article). Don't like ALT0 because it seems so uncertain. ALT1 and ALT2 are fine. Riley1012 (talk) 22:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Riley1012, DYK is based on prose characters, not words. The article had 2518 prose characters prior to the expansion beginning on 1 March, and has 12264 prose characters today, both according to DYK check. A 5x expansion required 12590 prose characters, so TonyTheTiger needs to add at least 326 prose characters to reach 5x, which is certainly feasible to accomplish. Once that's done, hopefully in the next seven days, the review can be concluded. (The 5x expansion calculation is one of the few guidelines that isn't rounded.)

  • Not a review, but this article might not be DYK material. (Primarily since our coverage is overwhelmingly negative) Sohom (talk) 16:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your input. I've striked out ALT2, given it focuses on the negative. The other two hooks, specifically the first, I'd consider as neutral as they come. The coverage in the article is overwhelming negative due to RS, not due to contributors, with a lot of consideration for using NPOV language and attribution as per BLP policy, as well as including everything positive about Tate, or in defense of him. I'd argue this type of article would come under one of the goals of DYK: highlight the variety of information on Wikipedia, thereby providing an insight into the range of material that Wikipedia covers. If we are not including controversial topics, then we are not achieving this diversity. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 17:31, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We do feature negative hooks about certain things (Site isolation had a semi-negative hook, despite having a overwhelmingly positive reception). I'm not insinuating that NPOV was compromised when building the article eithier (in fact the article great considering how freaking controversial the subject is). I'm just unsure if running a negative article about a BLP is the best idea. In any case, I'll defer to a actual reviewer. Sohom (talk) 20:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, appreciate the feedback. Just to clarify, we're not still talking about negative hooks are we? The hooks are currently neutral, if not positive. If the argument is along the lines of if Jimmy Savile were promoted to GA, and then nominated as a DYK, and that would be an issue, than I have no complaints. Simple as. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 20:59, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, that's my argument. The hooks look good from a neutrality POV (imo). Sohom (talk) 21:19, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
CommunityNotesContributor: I could do with you if I ever decide to GA Tate's Big Brother housemate Marco Pierre White Jr and try him on again here. I would just like to bring your attention to the bit of WP:DYKHOOK that says "Hooks that unduly focus on negative aspects of living persons should be avoided", emphasis mine. I see no reason why a rightfully negative article should not be promoted with a negative hook; we should not be providing WP:FALSEBALANCE. Out of interest, is there a reason you don't mention his appearance on Ultimate Traveller?--Launchballer 10:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CommunityNotesContributor: Please respond to the above. Z1720 (talk) 02:08, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably because there doesn't appear to be a reliable source with coverage, all I could find was one line from Independent (via Yahoo) documenting this [6]. The show itself doesn't appear to be notable, based on the lack of Wikipedia page, though this minor detail could be added to BB section for example. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 13:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a shame. I saw that the non-RS Rolling Stone mentioned that he flounced out of it with an eye infection, and wondered if there was a hook in it. Full review needed.--Launchballer 13:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article was created on time; however, the article creator was Aliceinthealice and not 8UB3RG1N3, so Aliceinthealice needs a credit as well. No QPQ required as the nominator only has three nominations. The article could probably use some minor copyediting: there are a few grammatical errors here and there, and the sentence "What made this unique was that the rocks they sat on would be a metre underwater at high tide in the crocodile infested waters." might need to be revised as it sound a bit like editorializing. My preferred hooks are the original hook and ALT1 with a slight preference for ALT1 although I will not oppose ALT0 being promoted instead. The issue is that ALT1's source, or at least the link given, doesn't mention the crocodile-infested waters thing. The link will thus need to be changed to the actual page on the website that mentions it. The source is primary, but given the noncontroversial nature it should be acceptable in this case.

    • Comments: Well done for creating such an article. However, to make this article more presentable as I mentioned in the Talk area of the article that the Japanese references in the article need to be replaced with English. Both JBIS and Netkeiba have English and can readily be used as references.
    • The statistics needs to conform to what is used in the English wikipedia space. There are columns with abbreviations which as specific in Japanese form reader but for the US/English make no sense. Also the odds are not displayed as payout coefficients. Margins are in lengths or part of horse's posture (head, neck, nose etc...) Brudder Andrusha (talk) 21:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • First of all, thank you very much for revising the article. The quality of the article cannot be decent without your help. Second, may I know whether there are any rules stating that English references are better than those which are not in English? For articles about Japanese stuff, isn't that Japanese references are more accurate and relevant?
      • Third, for your comment about the abbreviations in the statistics section, could you provide some good articles for my reference? You may guess that I am not that familiar with horse racing from my contributions (but obviously someone with limited knowledge cannot write this article). NinetyNineDragon (talk) 15:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a comment and not a review, but even as someone who's watched Uma Musume, I'm not a fan of the hook. It's more about Fujita or even the game itself than the horse, and the guidelines say that hooks that are only tangentially about the bolded article should be avoided. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I believe the hook is definitely not tangentially about the article. The information in the hook is completely mentioned in the headline of the source (the Nikkan Sports article) I put above. I guess not everyone here knows Japanese so let me put a rough translations of the headline here: "[Saudi Derby] Uma Musume's Fujita Susumu Got First Overseas Graded Race Victory, Owns Forever Young '[I] won'". If you google Japanese news articles about Forever Young, you will find it is not rare for them to mention Uma Musume at the same time.
    • If you think it is not generally interesting enough, is this better to you:
    ALT1: ... that someone wants Forever Young (pictured), the winner of the Saudi Derby, to be turned into a horse girl because he is owned by the CEO of CyberAgent? Source: https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2023/12/13/150914.html
I mean, even the source you provided (or at least the quote) focuses on the owner and not the horse itself. Having said that, ALT1 might be better and address my concerns, but the wording isn't the greatest given how vague the word "someone" is in this context.

Thank you David, but the rule is that QPQs must be done within a week of nomination, not creation, and I only nominated this three days ago. I have been extremely busy over the last few days and am currently in recovery, so will probably take another day or two before adding the QPQs.

My personal rule is not to review any DYK that is still missing its QPQ, and not to nominate until I have done my own QPQs. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
David, just for the record, I reviewed more than 40 nominations last month, none of which were QPQs, and could legitimately use any of them for this nomination, but my personal rule is always to offer newly completed QPQs for any nomination I make, not only to help out the project, but also so that the reviewer can be sure I am not using old QPQs that I may have used before. Which is why I almost always nominate before doing the QPQs. Cheers, Gatoclass (talk) 06:45, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dxneo: Please respond to the above.--Launchballer 22:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the wait Launchballer, I removed the parentheses and the deleted image. I might not fully understand what you mean by "must not be likely to change." If you have reviewed the article, you will come to realise that the subject is facing major time in prison and is considered a flight risk, meaning the chances for her to attend court cases from outside the walls or serve time under house arrest are slim to none. Please do ping me for a quick response. dxneo (talk) 23:30, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dxneo: WP:DYKHOOK says "The hook should include a definite fact that is unlikely to change", and she isn't going to be in prison indefinitely - she will ultimately either die there or be released. (You'll want to address those maintenance tags per WP:DYKTAG; I watchlist this page, so there is no need to ping me.)--Launchballer 23:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the main problem here is {{Recentism}}. What if the hook was written in the form of past tense, like "[x] was arrested for...?" as that can never changed. Pointers on how the hook can be improved? dxneo (talk) 00:41, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1: "... that the celebrity doctor Nandipha Magudumana was imprisoned and investigated for twelve crimes including murder connected to a fugitive's prison escape" might work - although I wonder whether this would be acceptable under WP:DYKINT, which says "excessively sensational or gratuitous hooks should be rejected."

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - See below.
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - See below.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article created on 18 March, and meets the length requirement. All sources are, as far as I can tell, reliable enough for the material they are cited for. Earwig reveals no copyvio and I didn't spot any instances of unacceptably WP:Close paraphrasing. Both hooks are interesting. ALT0 has an extraneous "s" in "billions" and is not properly cited in the article as the article does not mention that the Tsar Bomba was the most powerful nuclear device of all time. ALT1 is properly sourced but I don't think most people know what "inclination" means in this context—"axial tilt" would likely be better. QPQ has been done. Some comments about the content:

  • In general, this needs a thorough copyediting for grammar and whatnot.
  • See MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID.
  • The WP:Fair use rationale for the image doesn't hold up to scrutiny. A free image of the concept (though not this particular example) of a destroyed Moon could certainly replace this WP:Non-free image.
  • 12*1028 – nonstandard, see MOS:SCIENTIFICNOTATION. Don't use an asterisk for multiplication, and pick either scientific notation or engineering notation—this is neither.
  • a comparable asteroid – should probably clarify that this means an asteroid of the same size as an individual piece of hypothetical Moon debris (as opposed to the total amount of Moon debris, for instance).
  • substantial atmospheric heating due to friction – the sources don't say friction, nor should they. See e.g. Meteor air burst#Explanation.
  • oscillate chaotically beyond 45° – this needs to be rephrased, for a few reasons. Oscillations are always between to values rather than beyond one, for one thing. For another, "chaotically" here is presumably in the mathematical sense but sounds like it means "violently"... except the sentence then goes on to say that it would be fairly slow.
  • beyond 45° on the scale of tens of thousands of years, possibly reaching 85° – the source that mentions the latter also gives a much longer timeframe.
  • Apart from being practically unfeasible – it certainly is, but the sources don't say so.
  • Abian claims have no scientific basis - destroying the moon would actually cause natural disasters. – I don't doubt that the general consensus is that Abian's a crank, but a statement like this really needs stronger sourcing than it currently has. Make sure to make this compliant with WP:YESPOV.
  • The capture of Triton by Neptune possibly destroyed the previous moons of Neptune. – the impression I get from the cited source is that those moons are believed to have been ejected, not destroyed.
  • I might mention that Phobos is expected to be destroyed in the future.
  • The "In fiction" section lacks proper sourcing. WP:Primary sources are not sufficient here, the content needs to come from secondary or tertiary sources. See e.g. MOS:POPCULT or WP:IPCV. Do sources on the overarching topic—Destruction of the Moon—discuss fictional depictions? If not, this section should be removed per WP:PROPORTION: An article should not give undue weight to minor aspects of its subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject. ("on the subject" is key here). I took a quick look at the relevant entries in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Science Fact and Science Fiction: An Encyclopedia, and they don't seem to mention this aspect.
    • I'll clarify a bit here: I see that you have added sources to the individual entries. Those are however sources on the works of fiction themselves rather than sources on the overarching topic—destruction of the Moon. That's not sufficient. You have also added a general source on the subject of fictional depictions of the destruction of the Moon. That's much more like it, though this particular source is a bit questionable; while Gizmodo is generally reliable for technology, popular culture, and entertainment per WP:RSP, this is a listicle and those are typically unsuitable for establishing WP:WEIGHT (or WP:NOTABILITY, for that matter), and furthermore it explicitly says that it was Compiled with the aid of TV Tropes, an unreliable source (see WP:RSPTVTROPES).
      The issue here is that fictional depictions of the destruction of the Moon need to be covered in the article no more extensively than in WP:PROPORTION to the coverage of that aspect in the body of reliable, published material on the subject. If sources that deal specifically with the overarching topic of this article—destruction of the Moon—only mention fictional depictions briefly or in passing, the article must likewise keep it brief. A plain "The destruction of the Moon has appeared in some works of fiction such as X, Y, and Z." might be all that we can justify based on the balance of the sources. I would also strongly recommend against presenting this in a list format; it in general invites the addition of poorly sourced material, and in this specific case the additional visual prominence really serves to over-emphasize this WP:ASPECT in violation of WP:NPOV.

General eligibility:

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article created on 19 March. It does not meet the length requirement (despite some needless repetition that artificially inflates the length), and substantial copyediting is needed for grammar and whatnot. The sources appear to be reliable ones, but they do not verify all the information in the article (and are not cited in all places where they should be); I have added some maintenance tags to this effect. There are no obvious neutrality issues. Earwig reveals no copyvio, but this is a false negative caused by the tool's inability to parse Google Books text—for instance, the article says It was written by Ralf Burger in 1986 as a demonstration program for Chaos Computer Club conference. while the source says It was written by Ralf Burger as a demonstration program for the Chaos Computer Club conference [...], which is obviously way too WP:Close paraphrasing. The hook is properly cited and interesting. This is the nominator's first DYK nomination, so they are QPQ exempt. TompaDompa (talk) 23:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article is new enough and long enough. Hook fact is verified to the cited source and is interesting and of appropriate length. However, there are issues that need addressing. While normally plot summaries do not need citations, this is a documentary about real people and real events of a highly sensitive and controversial nature. While Kitagawa is no longer living, many of his victims are still alive. The events discussed in the summary involve living people. For this reason, even the summary needs to be thoroughly cited to high quality sources to pass the spirit of our WP:BLP guidelines. There are currently not enough inline citations in that section to pass a DYK review. Additionally the hook fact itself is not as strongly or explicitly stated in the current prose of the article as it in the hook. In order to promote this hook, the current text needs to be altered to more closely match the language in the hook fact. Lastly, the use of the word "talents" reads strangely. While it is true that talent managers manage creative people, the plural form of that word when assigned to people has no s. (i.e. "I manage the talent." is correct when referring to people in the plural form and "I manage the talents." is incorrect) Talents with an s is limited to referring to skills. That wording needs to be addressed. I would suggest not using the word talent at all when referring to people he was managing as a group, and instead using the word creatives. Once these issues are addressed please ping me.4meter4 (talk) 03:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for reviewing. I don't think "creatives" is a good word to describe them. The way the Japanese pop industry works is that young people are contracted within a talent company where they learn to sing and dance. The company then arranges their line-up, name, image, and song when they feel they are ready to debut a certain group or individual, in which they are known as idols. A career as an idol is usually seen as a stepping stone for other fields in entertainment, usually as an actor or personality (AKA someone who becomes a panelist/regular on variety shows). Johnny & Associates' acts are either groups/singers, actors, or television personalities. What is a better word used to describe all of this? They are not "creatives" in that most of them don't produce their own works. lullabying (talk) 23:48, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lullabying Entertainers would be suitable. Or you could just call them clients of Johnny & Associates which is what they were. You'll need to go through and remove all uses of the word "talents". Let me know when the article has been properly sourced.4meter4 (talk) 01:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Lajmmoore: A neatly put together article improving coverage of women of color in the Britain. The most critical guidelines appear to be met. However, I noticed some other issues that I think would be best cleared up before advancing the nomination. While there's several, I think they could be cleared up relatively easily and don't need to impede the nomination much. Most of these matters are about clauses that either need a source or need to be trimmed because they lack a source.

  • Kully Thiarai FRSA is an artistic and creative director, whose career began in theatre: I think that comma is a splice and is best off trimmed, as the clause that follows is dependent, not independent.
  • During this time she commission a variety of new: Some typos: commission should be commissioned, and there seems to be a noun missing after new.
  • Kaahini by Maya Chowdhry: I suggest either finding a different source or trimming this info; something doesn't sit right with using as a source a URL that takes the reader by surprise by downloading a DOCX.
  • End of Season by Noel Greig, Sleeping Dogs by Philip Osment, and Crush by Rosy Fordham: The linked source, Greig's interview notes, only verify that End of Season was a show during Thiarai's tenure as artistic director at Red Ladder; I was unable to verify the rest.
  • co-instigated the Asian Theatre School: I was unable to identify in the provided sources why you use the word "co-instigated"; I didn't see a fellow "co-instigator" indicated. Additionally, would the source titled Dermot's Blog be considered self-published? Wikipedia's rules for biographical information about living people prohibit the use of "self-published sources" unless they are created by the subject themselves (generally this means eschewing the citation of blogs; however, newsblogs produced by journalistic publications are excepted). This Guardian interview seems like it'd be a better source for Thiarai's involvement with the Asian Theatre School.
  • In 1998 she moved work as Artistic Advisor at Contact Theatre in Manchester: The provided sources verify that Thiarai was an artistic director at Contact Theatre; not an advisor. Additionally, none of the sources verify that she began working at Contact in 1998; the History of Red Ladder only verifies that she left Red Ladder in 1998, and the other sources don't verify when Thiarai started at Contact. Additionally, when a term like artistic director is a relatively common title, does it need to be capitalized?
  • Whilst there she also worked with Noel Greig to create: Although the Guardian interview verifies that Thiarai was a Co-creat[or] of Contacting the World, the interview does not verify Greig's involvement, so that element is not verified.
  • She was later Artistic Director of Contact Theatre: Since available sources don't verify her having a different role at Contact, this sentence can be trimmed once the "advisor"/"director" matter is straightened out.
  • Thiarai was s co-artistic director with Paul: small typo.
  • She has used the term 'porous' to describe how to integrate communities practices with more traditional forms of theatre: Not strictly a problem—or at least, not a DYK-level problem—but this sentence seems rather random. Is smack in the middle of the chronology of her career the right place in the article for this comment about her creative philosophy?
  • National Theatre Wales in its inaugural year: The sources provided at the end of this sentence don't verify that this was specifically National Theatre Wales's inaugural year. Is that necessarily a needed detail anyway?
  • In 2012 she directed Mandala: The URL currently in the article is dead and unarchived; this link seems to go to the article you want.
  • based in Nottingham: The source appended to this sentence is labeled in an inadvetently misleading way; Issuu is a host website, not a publisher. This source would be better if identified by the author and publisher (or trimmed if such information to indicate reliability/verifiability is not available).
  • a new £22 million venue: Not strictly speaking a problem, but why cite CAST's website as a primary source for this when the same information is already in the Independent article, a secondary source? I would suggest moving the clause to appear before the Independent article citation.
  • One of her most noted productions was an adaptation of Kes: The two play reviews do verify that one of the productions was an adaptation of Kes, but they don't notify that this production was "most noted" above all other of Thiarai's productions. To conclude that would steer into original research.
  • Notable productions during her time there included: We’re Still Here: This is both odd to list with a colon when the list is only one item long and, like with Kes, not quite verified by the source. "More immediately" seems to be not a measure of importance but proximity. I would suggest rephrasing this just to remove the editorializing and say that We're Still Here was one of the productions. Also, a minor typo: you used a curled apostrophe rather than a straight apostrophe; the Manual of Style guides us to use straight quotation marks and apostrophes for consistency.
  • Thiarai moved to work as Creative Director of LEEDS 2023 in 2020: The source appears to verify that Thiarai's departure from NTW to work as director of LEEDS 2023 was in 2019, not 2020. Does creative director need to be capitalized when it is a relatively common title? Also, something about the particular link in the source citation did not work, though this link does.
  • critic Gary Raymond wrote: The citation in this sentence seems oddly placed; wouldn't it go here, at the end of the clause, or further down at the end of the block quotation?
  • an announcement that came days prior to the presentations that UK bidding cities were due to make.: This portion of the sentence does not seem to be verified in the cited sources. Including this source is confusing because it seems to erroneously put forward a claim precisely opposite what is in the article and is verified by the other sources.
  • Thiarai stated in December 2023 that, through This seems to be an unwarranted comma.
  • Northern Power List: Per the source, should this be "Northern Asian Power List"?

While these are numerous, I think most can be resolved either by deleting a sentence, replacing a source(s), or correcting wording, which is why I remain open to the nomination. Once all these are resolved, I'll happily approve the nomination. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 06:24, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hydrangeans, thanks so much for the review, these changes all approve the article. I really appreciate the time you have taken to do this. Lajmmoore (talk) 21:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lajmmoore: I'm just glad to be helpful. I notice a few matters that seem to have slipped through:
  • She also co-founded the Asian Theatre School: The provided sources still don't seem to verify the "co" part; no other human founders are mentioned. Is the Theatre in the Mill being treated as the other "co-founder"? That seems odd, since Theatre in the Mill is an institution, not an individual.
  • In 1998 she moved work at Contact Theatre: Is this meant to be "moved to work at Contact Theatre"? Or "began a new job at Contact Theatre"? By way of note, I presume good faith that the The Art of the Artistic Director verifies the 1998 aspect of this information.
  • In 2012 she directed Mandala The Birmingham Live link is still dead. The problem seems to be that you are putting HTTP instead of HTTPS in the URL: the former is dead; the latter still works.
  • (Notable productions during her time there included: We're Still Here: Not a problem, just a note: on a reread, I see the Guardian article explicitly states It was NTW's equivalent of the National Theatre of Scotland’s Black Watch, one of those rare shows that people still talk about with awe, so I think that's verification.)
Thank you for the revisions so far. Once the above three matters in need of revision (since the last bullet is just a comment and not something needing revision) are resolved, as I've said I'll be happy to approve the nomination.

Additionally, the article doesn't specify that it was the villagers were the ones who rejected it, just that the village rejected it. This could imply a number of different things.

A couple of issues here. For one, what is "Source:" at the bottom? For another, the lede is far too long compared to the article's body. Generally, the lede should summarize the text in the article below, but in this case, it is the majority of the article. That does not seem difficult to fix, simply splitting it up. Perhaps the statement "and so provides astronomers..." could be sectionized out, leaving the lede as a summary. And while I'm here:

Overall: Article was nominated for DYK within 7 days of Good Article status. Article is more than 1,500 words in prose. No issues with sourcing; Earwig picked up an unlikely copyright violation of 10.7%. QPQ is done; nominator has done less than 20 nominations so a second one is not needed at this time. The first ALT is bit vague about the "contradictory elements", so I prefer ALT1. However, I'm not sure what makes ChuApp a reliable source. If ChuApp can be justified as a reliable source or another can be found in its place, it's good to go. lullabying (talk) 07:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lullabying I'm presuming ChuApp to be a reliable source due to it's holder, Beijing Yunji Media Information Technology Co., Ltd., owning other reliable sources listed at the Chinese Video Games reliable sources list, as well as the source getting through GAN both here and on zh.wiki. The source was also recommended to me by an experienced zh.wiki editor (and translator) over at List of Genshin Impact characters#English source searching. With this, I assume the source is at least "good enough" to be sourced in a hook and in the article, though you or anyone else are obviously free to disagree with this.

  • I'll review this. Article length and eligibility checks out, and is generally quite presentable. I see no evidence of copyvio. Out of all of these, I think ALT2 is the best; but I don't really see evidence that it "loves lime" beyond its name, and the article is a bit vague about what the "loving" portion of "lime-loving" means. Unfortunately, I think the other two hooks are lengthy and not very interesting to a non-specialist audience. Can you find any sources about why it's a lime-loving lichen? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comments:
@Generalissima, Hey thanks for reviewing the article. The term "lime-loving" in the common name "Lime-loving Tarpaper Lichen" refers to the preference of Enchylium limosum for habitats with alkaline or calcareous substrates. Limestone, which contains calcium carbonate, is commonly referred to as "lime," hence the name. Lichens like Enchylium limosum thrive in environments where calcium-rich minerals are present, such as limestone or dolomitic rocks. This particular fact is mentioned throughout the sources that are used in the article. Common names given to species are pretty much self-explanatory in most cases, including this one. These sources, although not particularly about the article's subject, will give an idea of why such species of the genera are called "lime-loving." 1, [2].
Sources that mention Enchylium limosum's calcareious habitat and common name are abundant and used throughout the article hence I felt it's redundant to mention them here.
I hope I was able to provide some ideas. Let me know if you have other questions/suggestions. Regards.
Edit: If you feel necessary, I can try to add more information explaining/shedding some background behind its common name in the etymology/taxonomy section. X (talk) 08:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm not sure if this is the right way to add a comment, but the information given above is largely incorrect. The COSMOS field is not one of the deepest images ever taken of the universe and it is definitely not the deepest Hubble image ever taken either. It is also not really accurate to say that it's one of the largest surveys of the universe ever. The esahubble.org page cited as the source doesn't make these claims either. It is one of the largest (maybe the largest?) contiguous fields ever mapped with Hubble, but that is different from the statements made here. Aldebarium (talk) 23:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]


    • Still, most of the items listed above are incorrect. It is definitely not correct to state that this is one of the deepest images ever taken (either by Hubble, or more generally). There are many Hubble images that go deeper than this one. It is the largest contiguous survey field ever observed by Hubble, but that’s different from stating that it was one of the largest surveys of the universe ever. Partly this depends on what you mean by “largest”: if referring to angular area covered, other surveys like SDSS are vastly larger. Aldebarium (talk) 15:03, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pace the GA reviewer, there is a minor problem with the FUR on File:Undertale Art Book sans progession.png: the FUR includes as a key term The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site., but this image is a scan from a book, not a screenshot.

  • Not a review, and I do my QPQs first so would not get to this any time soon (but would not object to anybody else jumping in in the interim); refs 5, 8, 19, and 26 have errors, and I'd want to see a very good reason why WP:IMDB is being used on a BLP. I also recommend explicitly citing their pronouns with a source that specifically says "uses they/them pronouns" or somesuch, like I've done at Charlie Deakin Davies. (A good article would state exactly when they began using them if available, but that's probably going beyond the DYK criteria.)--Launchballer 08:52, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I corrected the 4 refs, replaced IMDb with The New Republic, and created a note about pronouns. The note links to two Internet Archive captures, which is the best source I know about.

(Any excuse to plug one of my favourite musicians.) I should have said WP:JEZEBEL shouldn't have been in there either, but as everything was already in Cosmopolitan I took it out myself. WP:EL says external links "normally should not be placed in the body of an article", but as this is a note and the alternatives would be either violating WP:REFPUNCT or WP:SEAOFBLUE I'm IARing it. I also propose the following ALT, which I may come back to, as a rewording of ALT0:
ALT0.5: ... that the pro-choice Satanist Jex Blackmore did performance art with 100 pounds (45 kg) of rotten fruit (pictured) before their second abortion?

  • Article is long enough, new enough, neutral, without copyvio, and QPQ is done. However, I have concerns about the wording of the hook. The source does not exactly say what is said in the hook; the closest statement being that "this is the first time the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has sent all three of its forces, the infantry, navy and air force, to participate in a single exercise with Russia." The hook seems to imply that more troops were sent than ever before, which is not clearly stated. Anonymous 16:18, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Bomapoodle: Hello and welcome to DYK! Unfortunately, the hook might not be a good fit for DYK as it's somewhat specialist, meaning unless someone is well-versed in biology they might not necessarily get what the hook is trying to say. I would suggest proposing a hook or two that's targeted more towards readers who may not known much about biology. In addition, the current hook is also confusing: it's not clear that Euwallacea validus is actually a beetle rather than a fungus, a possible misinterpretation given the wording.

Source: in the projected eleven-volume Oxford History of the United States (of which this volume is the second in chronology and the first to appear in print), in Don Higginbotham, review of The Glorious Cause, in William and Mary Quarterly 40, no. 3 (July 1983): 455–458, here 455, DOI:10.2307/1917207. And [Robert Middlekauff, The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763—1789 is visibly listed as chronologically first of all current published volumes on page 407] It also highlights how little attention in this series is going to be paid to the colonial period. Peter Mancall, the author of Volume I, and Fred Anderson and Andrew Cayton, authors of Volume II, have to deal with whole centuries, in Trevor Burnard, "America the Good, America the Brave, America the Free: Reviewing the Oxford History of the United States", Journal of American Studies 45, no. 3 (August 2011): 407–420, here 407 and 413, DOI:10.1017/S0021875811000508.
    • ALT1: ... that in 1982, historian Gordon S. Wood harshly criticized the book The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763–1789, and in 2020 he recommended it to readers? Source: Although Gordon Wood had recently agreed to write the 1789–1815 volume abandoned at long last by Elkins and McKittrick, he appeared to question the overall soundness of the narrative approach in a long and sharply critical essay review of Middlekauff ’s book in the New York Review of Books, in James C. Cobb, C. Vann Woodward: America's Historian (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2022). And recommended by Gordon S. Wood [...] You’ve named four books that illuminate the Fourth of July [...] The Glorious Cause is your next choice. How does this work, by Berkeley historian Robert Middlekauff, in "The Best Fourth of July Books, recommend by Gordon S. Wood" (interview), Five Books, July 2, 2020, title, subtitle, paragraphs 8–10.
    • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/One Chun
    • Comment: ALT0's viability depends on considering the arithmetic by which one concludes that if there are a volume I and II before The Glorious Cause, then The Glorious Cause must be volume III, to be an example of "[r]outine calculations [that] do not count as original research". I didn't find a source (aside from like, Amazon and Audible product listings) that definitively said "The Glorious Cause is the third volume in the series"; what Burnard does clearly say is that there are two volumes planned in the series that cover history set before The Glorious Cause. As an additional note, I would avoid piping the article name to shorten it to just the title The Glorious Cause because there is a different book about the American Revolution with that title.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.


  • Objection - the content in the hook three consecutive missiles fired by an Israeli drone cannot be presented in Wikivoice using this Haaretz source, which said that the information comes from Israeli defense sources. Haaretz has not independently reported the information (without attribution). starship.paint (RUN) 00:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Starship.paint: The same material has been covered in RS including NYT, Al Jazeera, BBC, and Bellingcat; and in visual investigations not just reporting articles. All RS have provided the same information about three missiles being shot. I don't see why information from RS requires attribution, especially given that all these RS agree on the same exact point. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source article links please. starship.paint (RUN) 10:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Makeandtoss: - you are assuming too much of the sources. (1) Bellingcat does not say three consecutive strikes, they simply say Israeli airstrike, Bellingcat cannot confirm that it was missiles or that they were even fired by a drone: Although not possible to be certain without fragments of the munition itself, the WCK vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike by inert or low-yield missiles ... In order to successfully accomplish a laser guided strike it is necessary for a platform, such as a drone, to “illuminate” the target with a laser while the missile is launched. (2) BBC writes that the evidence suggests there was more than one strike, but this is not confirmation, BBC's experts also do not confirm that it was a drone strike: Chris Cobb-Smith, a former British Army officer and ex-UN weapons inspector, said the attack was probably the result of drone-launched Spike missiles ... Justin Crump, a former British Army officer who runs Sibylline - a risk intelligence company - agreed. He says the attack "was likely drone-launched and targeted". He added the strike had probably been caused by a missile, rather than a bomb or mortar. (3) Al Jazeera goes the furthest, their article text says The shelling targeted three vehicles belonging to WCK, one at a time, but if you read the article text, there is no mention of drone missiles, instead they say: Analysis of images of the second and third targeted vehicles showed signs of a projectile entering from the top and exiting through the bottom, suggesting that the cars were targeted from the air. Now, Al Jazeera's image does mention "drone strikes" and missiles, but I find it peculiar that they didn't mention (or even attempt to explain) it in the article text. The sources are simply weaker than you portray them to be. None of them confirm, all of them are simply suggesting / probably / likely etc. starship.paint (RUN) 11:55, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can I suggest some edits to the hook to make it clearer what happened? I'd suggest something like Humanitarian and aid organizations suspended their operations in the Gaza Strip after seven World Central Kitchen aid workers were killed when their marked cars on a preapproved route were bombed by Israeli drones. I think its really important to make clear they were in marked cars, they were also on a route approved by the Israeli military. Makeandtoss what do you think? Also have any additional sources been published that would resolve the dissagreement above? If not maybe a third party could be involved to help resolve if the sourcing meets Wikipedia's rules.

@Starship.paint: @John Cummings: Thanks for commenting. Starship.paint, building on our discussion on the talk page, I think we can both agree to this ALT1 version: ... that the attack on World Central Kitchen convoy in the Gaza Strip, which killed seven aid workers, was likely a result of three consecutive missiles fired by an Israeli drone? Makeandtoss (talk) 14:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I can add anything more than what starship.paint and John Cummings have said. Any hook we run on this topic should be widely supported across a cross section of media, and be independently verified. Otherwise its likely to be challenged at Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors.

I would be ok with this as long as there are no objections to featuring violent content at DYK. There has been some pushback of late against featuring potentially disturbing hooks. That said, this hook appears to have wide support in media, and is so widely reported I don’t think an argument for censoring would be successful.4meter4 (talk) 02:59, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, our main page constantly features potentially disturbing content, so I don't see why this can't be, either. Right now, our ITN section: A severe earthquake strikes near Hualien City, Taiwan ... In Syria, an Israeli airstrike kills 16 people at the Iranian consulate in Damascus, including brigadier general Mohammad Reza Zahedi ... A bus falls from a bridge in Limpopo, South Africa, killing 45 people ... The Francis Scott Key Bridge in the U.S. city of Baltimore collapses after being hit by a container ship. starship.paint (RUN) 06:08, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
DYK and ITN have different goals. In addition, the issues with IP hooks have never really been about violence but rather tone and POV. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One might consider, is the problem Wikipedia's "tone and POV", or does the event inherently make one side look bad? I'd say the answer is provided by the BBC: There are also moments, like the last few days in the Middle East, when events leave belligerents and their allies at a crossroads with big decisions to make ... The killing of foreign aid workers in Gaza might finally exhaust the considerable patience of Israel's allies, led by the United States. and Reuters: the killing of a group of aid workers by an Israeli air strike summed up both the dire humanitarian crisis and the lack of a clear way out of a conflict that is leaving Israel increasingly isolated. The attack on Monday night that killed seven staff of the World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid group, including six foreigners, has angered even some of Israel's closest allies, adding to growing pressure for an end to the fighting. starship.paint (RUN) 07:09, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, QPQ is not required due to first nomination. I do not have access to that book nor can really read French, so I'm going to assume good faith that is accurate. However, I have concerns over the hook itself. Now feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I don't find the hook provided particularly interesting or catching - I can't imagine most people would immediately know what a "Citroën 2CV" is. In addition, the source used to make that statement and the one cited here doesn't appear to be the same, but again, I can't read French so someone who can may need to weigh in here.

Also some inconsistencies I have noticed on a glance in the article itself is a few unsourced statements, such as under the "From a technical point of view, Gerboise Verte was a failure." and "Gerboise Verte is also discussed in Thomas Cantaloube's first novel, Requiem for a Republic (2019)." part, which I have marked. This needs citation to reliable sources. If these issues can be addressed and perhaps an alternate hook put forward then perhaps this could be accepted.

Second hook – It is an interesting fact in my opinion but seems much more focused on the illusionist El Mago Pop instead.
Third hook – "Republican Party" is probably referring either to the Republican Union Party (Partido de Unión Republicana) or Republican Party (1913) (Partido Republicano). But I am not quite sure.

Source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/4467073 "Tomas Treviño de Sobremonte: A Jewish Mexican Martyr" by Seymour B. Liebman. Text to support: "A contemporary, Gregorio M. de Guijo, recorded in his diary that even during the march to the stake on 14 April 1649, there were "no words of condemnation of Tremiño" (sic).' He added that the onlookers of the parade were left with admiration when Tomas refused to kiss the cross. His refusal denied him the privilege of garrote (a speedier, less painful, death) and, consequently, he was burned alive. In the publication of De Guijo's diary, Manuel Romero de Torreros wrote that Treviño exclaimed as the flames licked at his body, "Throw on more wood, this [fire] is costing me enough money." page 63.
    https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv47w8sq.9?seq=80 chapter "El siglo de integración" from "Historia general de México" by Andrés Lira, Luis Muro (in Spanish). Text to support: Célebre fue aquella ejecución de 1648, en que uno de los reos, Tomás Treviño de Sobremonte, condenado a morir en la hoguera, por no haberse arrepentido o "reconciliado" -como la gran mayoría solía hacerlo-- decía al verdugo, después de resistirse al franciscano que lo exhortaba para que pensara en la salvación de su ánima, "echen más [leña] que mi dinero me cuesta". Translation by Jaguarnik: "Famed was the execution of 1648, in which one of the condemned, Tomás Treviño de Sobremonte, condemned to die at the stake for not having repented or "reconciled" - as the great majority usually did - said to the executioner, after resisting the Franciscan friar who exhorted him to think of the salvation of his soul - "throw more [wood] on, for it costs me my money." page 450.

  • Everything looks to be in order, but I would like you to consider a slightly more interesting hook. I would encourage at least some detail as to know Sanda Pankhurst was and what the documentary's themes were. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:21, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How about "... that 2022 Australian documentary film Clean, centered on the life of Sandra Pankhurst (a former sex worker, drag queen, and crime scene cleaner), was released after her passing?". Dunno, I would be open to suggestions on how to improve it. I thought it was best to focus on one thing: the fact she died before her own film was released. This person was the epitome of interesting, but I don't want to bring too much into a short hook. Ideas? Pbritti — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 00:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You definitely can't put the word "passing" onto the main page as per MOS:EUPHEMISM. Schwede66 02:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is a very interesting documentary about a very interesting person. Thank you, MaxnaCarta (talk · contribs)! I made some copyedits to the article. Except for the citation requirement, the article meets DYK requirements. The "Synopsis" section is unsourced. If Sandra Pankhurst were still living, citations would be necessary to comply with WP:BLPSOURCES. But as she has been dead for at least two years, WP:BLP does not apply.

From Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction#Sourcing and quotations, "The plot summary for a work, on a page about that work, does not need to be sourced with in-line citations, as it is generally assumed that the work itself is the primary source for the plot summary." However, Clean is a documentary, not a work of fiction, so that guideline is not fully applicable. To err on the safe side, I recommend adding sources to that section so that there is no question that WP:DYKCITE is met. Sourcing is needed to comply with DYK guidelines since the information about her being "a former sex worker, drag queen, and crime scene cleaner" is not sourced in the article. WP:DYKCITE says, "The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear."

The lead contains information that is not sourced in the body of the article. For example, the release month in "Clean was released in Australia in June 2022" is unsourced. The sentence "It was nominated for two awards at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards in 2022" is unsourced also. I recommend going through the lead to confirm that everything is sourced (or is mentioned in the body of the article and is sourced there).

Here is an alternative hook that tightens MaxnaCarta's proposed alternative and removes the euphemism:

... ALT1: that the posthumously released documentary Clean centered on the life of Sandra Pankhurst, a former sex worker, drag queen, and crime scene cleaner?

As I am proposing an alternative hook, Schwede66 or another reviewer will be needed to review the wording. Cunard (talk) 09:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • The character's name is censored in the original book. I think the real-world implication of ALT0 is the age of the book: it would be unsurprising to learn that this sort of material is in a contemporary book, but people are often unaware that dildos and cross-dressing existed in the eighteenth century, or that 18thC books had sex in them.

The image is free to use, based on its license, and could be added to the nom. QPQ has been provided.

When this type of request is made, it is customary to offer the godmother a large brilliant brooch . However, on this occasion I had an idea and asked Eugenides if, instead of this traditional gift, he would give me the necessary means to organize a cruise during which I would invite all the royal families of Europe […]. There were different reasons for organizing this cruise. First, Paul and I wanted to open the doors of Greece to tourism . […] But the first thing we needed was to get the world's attention. As the world press was responsible for giving wide publicity to the cruise, everything worked very well. Immediately afterwards, shipping companies began to organize cruises exactly following the program and itinerary of ours, and soon hotels and other land-based services and facilities began to bring tourist money to the country. Another reason was that, since World War I , royal families had not reunited internationally. […] The trip was a great success. We were 110 people, of twenty nationalities and speaking 15 different languages; despite this there was not the slightest difficulty during the ten days that the cruise lasted. […] "
