Instructions for nominators edit

If this is your first nomination, please read the DYK rules before continuing. Further information can be found at the supplementary guidelines.

Nominate an article

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.

Sodankylä Old Church

The Sodankylä Old Church in 2019

Created by Juustila (talk). Self-nominated at 18:10, 27 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Sodankylä Old Church; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

  • Starting the review now. Updates to follow. Ktin (talk) 04:02, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall:   Article meets eligibility criteria. New. Long enough. No concerns with Earwig nor with tone. Some amount of copy edits might be required. Will note them below. Image is a nice one. Image seems to have been uploaded as "own work" with geo-location enabled. So, no concerns there. QPQ not needed. Ktin (talk) 04:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Hook
    • Hook says that the church is "one of Finland's oldest and well preserved wooden churches". The source however says [the church] ... is one of Finland’s oldest preserved wooden churches. So, basis this source, the first part of the hook is quoted and the latter part (i.e. "well preserved") is a subjective opinion that is not born by the quote. Furthermore, when we say the statement in the latter part of the hook, we should quote it to a source that is independent. Currently, the source links to the city's tourism website if I understand it correct -- that might not be the best source.
    • Consider retaining the first part and remove the subjectivity in the second part unless we are able to source it to a reliable independent source. e.g. "the church is one of the oldest preserved wooden churches"

Article feedback below. The article is largely good with some improvement feedback below.

  • Lede
    • "The church is considered one of the best preserved wooden churches in Finland" -- According to whom? Can we tie that statement to Finnish Heritage Agency? If so, this can be a compelling statement. However, if we are saying "According to Visit Lapland, the church is considered one of the best preserved wooden churches in Finland," that might not be compelling enough
  • History
    • Some amount of copyediting might be required here across the section.
    • You could start with when construction began and when it was completed, rather than starting with when construction was completed and then coming back three sentences later to say when construction might have started.
    • "Valuable persons" -- consider rewording this phrase. Prominent people? Consider adding a few examples of these prominent people
    • "is best preserved as a mummy" -- reword this phrase
    • "renovated again in 1979–1980 and 1992–1995" -- if you are giving a range of dates consider using "between" instead of "in"
  • Structure
    • "Medieval tradition" -- is there further qualification that can be added here? e.g. Medieval tradition of xxx
    • "Exceptional way" -- I do not know the architectural concepts here, but, are we trying to say the planking is different from normal rafter structure. If so, consider rewording
  • Other Notes
    • Can we add any notes on what the church is used for currently? The Visit Sodankyla website says it is not open for visitors currently.[1] Any details that you can add?

  Reopening per concerns at WT:DYK – some more reliable sources for the hook (and excising the non-reliable sources) would be good before re-approval. Thanks :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:37, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Copying my note from WT:DYK.I agree with @Theleekycauldron:'s note in spirit. In fact I had noted that in my review. That said, the revised hook is a very basic one which is hard not to prove. The hook basically says, the church is one of the oldest preserved wooden churches. The fact is so-basic, that the mere existence of the church (in whatever active capacity) is sufficient to prove the hook. And, the tourism department website proves its existence, in my opinion. That said, if folks want to get a WP:RS source other than the tourism department website, and the nominator is willing, I will not stand in the way. Cheers.
  • Copying my note from WT:DYK. Another issue is that the final paragraph, from "The church does not have roof chairs" appears to be an uncredited machine translation of the Finnish article. TSventon (talk) 10:12, 26 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
The preceding paragraph, from "Stylistically, the church represents" also appears to be an uncredited machine translation of the Finnish article. TSventon (talk) 21:40, 26 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the note and the findings TSventon. I am tagging @Juustila: to address some of these. Ktin (talk) 01:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
In parallel, wanted to ask about the specific guidance we should be sharing with the nominators on this topic. I am somewhat unclear, because in the latest Vector 2022 skin, there seems to be a push to translate Wikipages to multiple languages using machine translations as a starting action. I am assuming that the skin / workflow asks folks to do their edits / checks after the machine translation is generated? Ktin (talk) 01:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ktin, what guidance we should share with nominators is possibly a question for WT:DYK, but the guidance I was using was Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects, which says that content copied from Wikipedia, including translations, should be attributed in an edit summary. This has not been done, but can be done retrospectively. Help:Translation discourages unedited machine translations. I generally use Google translate, where the quality varies by language: Swedish to English often works well, Finnish to English needs more checking as seen here. I use the old skin, which also suggests translating articles using the Wikipedia:Content translation tool. If you are translating from English, the tool incorporates machine translation and asks you to review it. If you are translating into English, the tool does not incorporate machine translation. TSventon (talk) 01:22, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Juustila please have a look at the comments from TSventon at your convenience. Ktin (talk) 15:57, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

TSventon (talk) 16:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

If others think this is a better hook, then I give for ALT3 my approval. Juustila (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Juustila I believe that, as it is a government website, the source for my Alt3 is more reliable than the sources for Ktin's Alt2. The problem was the sourcing, not the hook. I have asked at WT:DYK if the sourcing of the article itself is a problem.
I noticed that the two paragraphs of the "Structure" section appeared been machine translated from the Finnish article. Are you aware now that coping within Wikipedia should be acknowledged in an edit summary, per Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects? I have changed a few of the words based on the Swedish version. Is the rest of the article in your own words? Copying or translating content from other sources may be a Wikipedia:Copyright violation. TSventon (talk) 20:05, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Partly it is in my own words. I admit that I have used a translator to help me in some parts, but nevertheless I tried to compose them to look like myself, because I do know that a direct translation alone is not enough as it is. Are you trying to say that today it is no longer allowed to take anything from other wiki sites ​​and translate them into English, regardless of how much factual information (with source materials) related to the topic it contains? I'm just trying to be useful and to join others in providing information! Is that wrong? Juustila (talk) 03:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Juustila it is fine to copy or translate from other Wikipedias, I did it myself with Block-pillar church. However you are required to use an edit summary such as Some content in the first edit was translated from the existing Finnish Wikipedia article at fi:Sodankylän vanha kirkko; see its history for attribution., which I have now done for you. You should review the translated text for errors, but it doesn't have to be perfect. I changed some odd translations of architectural terms here, let me know if you disagree with anything.
Also theleekycauldron asked for the non-reliable sources to be excised. I think that means lifeinlapland.com and tiedonportailla.fi. TSventon (talk) 22:42, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Very well then. In the future, I'll try to remember to mention if an article I've created is a translation. Juustila (talk) 02:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Ktin and Juustila:, I have now removed lifeinlapland.com and tiedonportailla.fi, unfortunately I couldn't find a better source for the oldest preserved wooden churches in Finland. Juustila are you happy with this, if not please can you suggest an alternative? TSventon (talk) 19:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm okay with this. Juustila (talk) 01:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Folks, I have been offwiki for some days with IRL priorities. I will take a look at this one in a couple of days, if that is alright. Ktin (talk) 03:16, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ktin, Juustila, TSventon, and Theleekycauldron: Hi all, looking in in the interests of getting this moving. Your best source is:

It will pretty much cover the original hook and almost everything else you could want; no need for primary sources, SPS websites any more. Perhaps something like:

  • ALT4: ... that Sodankylä Old Church, (pictured), was built in 1689, renovated in the 20th century, and has been described as "the best preserved in its original form in Finland"?

Can send a pdf of the piece if required; will re-review if required. ——Serial Number 54129 17:29, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Serial Number 54129, Ktin, and Juustila: I have proposed a hook combining Serial Number 54129's and my suggestions. The relevant quote is Sodankylä wooden church is a so called block pillar church, of which is best preserved in its original form in Finland. so I think that the quote in the hook is misleading without mentioning that Sodankylä is a block pillar church. TSventon (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Personally I don't see the relevance of it being a block-pillared church; it#'s still the oldest surviving church of any kind. I think adding additional info of a purely technical nature reduces the hook's impact and is liable to confuse the reader. ——Serial Number 54129 13:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I would not mind a simpler hook, but the quote is about block pillar churches and it is misleading to imply that a part of it is about churches in general. Sodankylä is not "the oldest surviving church of any kind" as there are earlier surviving block-pillar churches. There are even earlier medieval stone churches in Finland.

  • That's much longer, and I think the law's name being the same as the rapper adds to both catchiness and interestingness.--NØ 07:15, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • I have to agree here. Without additional context, the hook is hard to understand or at least not very hooky. The new proposal, while longer, does provide additional context that is more likely to at least raise attention. With that said, I do wonder if alternative angles can be proposed here. Maybe Launchballer can propose some ideas? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:23, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'd probably have approved ALT0 myself, or at least not expanded it by much (something like "the federal sex offender law Megan's Law" at most).

@Zanahary, Narutolovehinata5, and Launchballer: Hi, can you indicate which hook you would like to move forward and maybe approve that?--NØ 23:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Given the nature of the hooks proposed I would rather defer the final decision to another reviewer. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

    • @MaranoFan:   Meets new/length, but significant issues:
      • Far too many quotations – including overquoting of full lyrics and play-by-play of social media comments

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!

  •   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

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.

  •   Modussiccandi, I don't see this meeting the criterion on having an interesting hook. I think people are generally shocked to be appointed or promoted to positions. Is there anything else you could touch on with an alternative hook? I also have some concerns about the limited sources (only 3), the intro having all of his titles (Pope Francis doesn't even include his multitude of titles, etc. but I think those can be resolved. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:38, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • Thank you for the review and thank you for pointing out the titles in the intro. I didn't realise someone had put them there. You are totally right, no point in including them. About the sources: I don't see a clash with the DYK guidelines here since they are reliable and independent. It is, of course, desirable to include as many and varied sources as possible in an article, but I don't see this as relevant to DYK. I also disagree with you regarding the hook: I would've expected him to have felt great excitement or joy (etc.), and I believe the author of the source felt the same, as they included the fact as a hook of sorts to their own piece. Since this seems to be a matter of taste, a third opinion might be an idea to resolve this. Modussiccandi (talk) 20:44, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
      • You are welcome to request a third opinion, but I will state clearly that someone expressing a simple and common emotion is in no way interesting to a general audience. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Came to review but I see the issue here. @Modussiccandi and Gonzo fan2007: if the article had little of substance on the person, I might agree that a hook such as Modus suggests might be adequate. But in this particular case, there's an elephant in the room, a massive Synodal Way-shaped elephant. Clearly, that is food for a far more interesting hook, and, while we must be mindful of BLP parameters, the section is sufficiently well-sourced that we must be able to use it. However, I note that the article somewhat hedges... it does not clarify his personal stance. What, for example, does Gössl rejected a fundamental document prepared by the commission due to disagreements with the wording including on the "tendency to abolish the bipolarity of genders"... However, after the conclusion of the Synodal Way, he joined the majority opinion calling for a reappraisal of homosexuality in catholic teaching mean, succinctly? It sounds as though, if we could be slightly robust, and clear, about his own views, there would be a good hook in there, and one in which would be universal interest, I think. ——Serial Number 54129 18:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Serial Number 54129. That is a good idea. I will have another look at the source and see if something clearer on his own views can be extracted. I don't have much time at the moment, but I'll make sure to propose an alternative hook in the not-too-distant future. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Serial Number 54129, I agree with your takeaway regarding other options, however I still disagree that ALT0 has any chance at being interesting. I work in mostly American football, this would be like saying that a college player felt great shock at being drafted, or a player feeling great shock at signing a contract, etc. This is a common emotion to feel when achieving something professionally and not at all interesting to even a very specific audience, let alone a general one. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:08, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

(I also see no evidence of any edits to any other Template pages than this one, which would mean no QPQ has been conducted.)

  •   I'm not sure about this hook. It seems rather technical or specialist, and a person who isn't familiar with gridiron football might not get what the interesting part here is supposed to be. Perhaps alternative hooks can be proposed? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:46, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • @Narutolovehinata5: That was the best hook that came to mind (as soon as I read about it I thought, "what the hell are tenders and half-tenders"? I think just the names themselves sound kind of interesting) - but maybe we could do something like ALT1: ... that a team of Canadian All-Stars twice played against the U.S. college football national champion and came within one point of winning each game?

That's definitely a better hook than the original proposal. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:11, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Full review needed. Z1720 (talk) 18:35, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  •   Taking a proper look at this now. The article was made on time and a QPQ has been provided. No close paraphrasing was detected. The original hook, for reasons I brought up earlier, is probably unsuitable. The second hook, looking at the article, may seem interesting at first... but as it turns out they lost 0-1 each time, since the football played then was not the football that is known now. At the very least, ALT1 does seem a bit misleading since it makes the margin more impressive than it seemed. Other issues include the fact that the term "national champions" does not appear in the article and in fact does not even indicate that Harvard was the "national champion" at the time, and how the hook says they played twice when in fact the article states that the team faced Harvard three times in the span of two seasons. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:39, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • @Narutolovehinata5: For the "national champion" part, it says Harvard went undefeated with four wins in four games and became the college football champions for the 1875–76 season, with a ref saying "national champion". We could change it to U.S. college football champion and exclude the "national" part. For how many times they played, it technically is still correct that they played the U.S. national champion twice, as Harvard was champion for the 1875-76 season (when they played twice), whereas they weren't for the 1876 season (when they played once). Even if the game was different then, I still think saying "came within one point of winning each game" is correct as that is still what happened. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:55, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Technically correct, but also a bit misleading and also somewhat hard to get from the article. So while I understand the sentiment, the article doesn't directly support the hook facts, at least not in an easy-to-get sense. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:47, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not quite sure I understand. The article mentions that each game was lost by a score of 0–1 (i.e. one point) – the fact that the scoring rules were different back then doesn't change the fact (not sure what communicating it in "an easy-to-get sense" would be?). I also note that there seems to plenty of hooks that could be considered "misleading" in some way – though again, I don't quite see how this falls under that since it still is correct that that is what the scores where. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:01, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry my previous response wasn't clearer. When I brought up the "hard to understand" part I was referring more to the champions aspect, not the score thing. That's a different issue. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hmmm. The article does say Harvard went undefeated with four wins in four games and became the college football champions for the 1875–76 season – can you think of way that would make it less "hard to understand"? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:33, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I must have missed that! I was looking for all mentions of "champions" in the article and somehow overlooked that. Though that still doesn't resolve the other remaining issue (two games but they actually played Harvard thrice in total). I think that can be resolved by adding the year or season to make it specific that they played Harvard twice that year (I understand that Harvard were not the champions the following season, but this is just for clarity's sake).

Sorry for the late response. I don't know how I missed the previous comment. Both changes are fine by me. In the hook, I think we can include (coin pictured) next to Eretna instead of the Eretnid dynasty, because the coin belongs to Eretna, and his descendants used different motifs in their coins. So, hook: that the Eretnid dynasty that ruled central and eastern Anatolia during the fourteenth century was founded by Eretna (coin pictured), an Ilkhanid officer of Uyghur origin?

  •   The article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been provided. I didn't find any close paraphrasing.

Thank you for offering. I still believe that almost anything about a Slovak musicologist will be new to our audience and thus interesting, - shouldn't we expand knowledge about things they don't yet know? Comparing:
  1. I can live with ALT1, but think that the exact years provide the same duration with easy math, and additionally say when that happened, while ALT1 could play in the 19th century.
  2. I believe that a longtime service at the national academy is much more interesting than a single dissertation, which might have led to no later work.
  3. I can live with ALT3 but believe that a sheer number of works is less interesting (if interesting at all) than the long-time service ...
This, of the four, I prefer the original. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  •   Given I proposed new hooks, another editor is needed to make a final decision. In the interest of fairness, I would highly suggest not messaging any specific users to invite them to take a look at the nomination, and instead to have a completely uninvolved, unpinged or unmessaged reviewer. This is to encourage an impartial review and ensure whoever sees the nomination has fresh eyes, rather than the nomination being brought to their attention directly. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:25, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
ALT0: checks out here, would need an end-of-sentence cite and not interesting anyway.
ALT1: similar problem, marginally more interesting (what's a musicologist doing getting involved with sciences as well?)
ALT2: also no end-of-sentence cite, and not interesting at all (it's always going to be on something)
ALT3: most interesting of the four and checks out; source says "over 150 musicological works, monographs, studies, academic texts, articles, reflections and profiles"; I say "works" is an accurate summary of these. Why don't you suggest a version of ALT3 that incorporates his tenure?--Launchballer 09:14, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

QPQ:   - Not done
Overall:   There are significant problems with this nomination. On a DYK level, the QPQ is not complete and the hook is not interesting. Those problems can be overcome, but their are fundamental problems with the article. It only cites primary sources, in contradiction of the original research policy, which forbids basing an entire article on them. I have thus marked it as possibly not meeting WP:NEVENT, and am marking this nomination as rejected. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm confused. How can the Cablenews-American, a newspaper, be WP:PRIMARY? I suppose official government election reports are primary but not newspapers?
Please bring this to WP:AFD if you think this is not notable. Howard the Duck (talk) 16:30, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
If the whole election was a tie, maybe yes that would work as a hook. But the tie was for only one town, so it's not really that hooky in this one instance, especially without additional context (like why is it important that it was in Biñan that it was tied, out of all places?) Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I dunno, even if a gubernatorial election was tied in a certain town, wherever it is, it's interesting, even if the election itself wasn't. The election itself was a landslide, with the winner carrying 6 towns, the loser 4, and one tied. A landslide election saw a tied result in one place. Imagine that. Howard the Duck (talk) 01:04, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I must admit to being very confused. I cannot see how the 1,400-1,000 victory can be described as a landslide, I cannot see why the not-rare occurence of ties in areas with a small population is being talked about like it's a mystical event, but most of all I cannot see why the fundamental issues of an incomplete QPQ and a complete reliance on primary sources are being disregarded in favour of this comparative tangent. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 04:18, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm confused myself. How is the "Cablenews-American" newspaper a primary source? AFAIK, this was not an instrument of the American government. If you think this fails WP:GNG, send this to AFD.
A 60:40 victory is a landslide in most definitions. The source itself calls it as a "big majority".
I'm actually looking for similar sized elections where the overall result was lopsided, but it was tied on one or more subdivisions and can't find one. Maybe I should try harder, I guess?
See WP:PRIMARY: "For Wikipedia's purposes, breaking news stories are also considered to be primary sources." I will nominate at AfD tomorrow if there are no further objections; do you know of any WP:SECONDARY sources Howard the Duck? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 06:04, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
How on earth are newspapers from 1910 breaking news sources? The way the world works by then, the time you read the paper, it's been at least 24 hours after the event took place (LOL). But please, do go ahead with the AFD. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:36, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Re: Other sources, the Cablenews-American talks about another newspaper, La Democracia, covering this event. So that's another, only that we don't have access to the specific issue; the University of Santo Tomas Library has copies of some issues, but we don't know if they have issues relevant to this event. Online uploads of newspapers from the Philippines from this time are hard to come by. It's a miracle we have this. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Comment: I'm afraid this hook just won't work. It plays with technical knowledge on too many levels, and is utterly confusing to the general reader even after they've read both articles. I had to spend a minute or so to figure out that it's playing on differences in botanic and zoologic nomenclature rules, where tautonyms are acceptable in the latter but not the former. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Paul 012: what about a simplified ALT1: ... that double names are allowed for animals like Aniculus aniculus, but "forbidden" for plants like Androsaemum androsaemum? Fritzmann (message me) 20:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • That does make it more understandable to DYK readers, but it still needs to be better explained in the articles. The Androsaemum article, for example, only says, "A publication on botanical tautonyms by Ernst Huth in 1893 rejected the name Hypericum androsaemum, which meant that the new and invalid name Androsaemum androsaemum would take priority," which isn't nearly enough context. Why was it rejected? Why was it invalid? Why was this possible? What happened next? The sources also barely mention these specific examples (not at all in the case of Aniculus, as the source is just touching on the concept). While it's simple logic and I wouldn't regard it as violating WP:SYNTH, I don't think it's acceptable under DYK's rules. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  •   Thanks Paul for the comments, they're very helpful. I would appreciate a second opinion, preferably as part of a full review, so I'm able to assess whether the required changes are fully necessary and if so, if they are feasible or if I should drop the hooks.

  • Reviewing:
  • Both articles were newly created on February 12. Both are several multiples of the required 1500 characters.
  • Both songs are thoroughly sourced.
  • Currently one article claims the song is a country song and the other article claims it is a ballad inspired by country music, which does not mesh with the hook that they are both country songs.
  • The copyright violation check points to a lot of direct quotation with WP:ICs.
  • QPQs done.
  • Prose is neutral.
  • Hook is interesting enough.
  • Only one article has the hook facts and citations.
  • Hook is properly formatted.

  • @TonyTheTiger: Okay, I've driven the copyvio score of both articles to a comfortable level according to Earwig. The "16 Carriages" article now explicitly describes the song as a country ballad. I don't think the hook fact belongs in that article unless artificially placed in, but from my understanding it is not a requirement for a hook to appear in both articles of a double nomination. Cheers.--NØ 17:18, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

 @ModulationBend and MaranoFan: Hooks pulled from queue due to lack of response to concerns on WT:DYK. My concern is that the proposed hook did not state any facts about 16 Carriages: a hook featuring both songs should have a hook about both songs or these should be separated out.

  •   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

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.

Thanks, Hameltion, and I will look into those right away. Medium has very mixed content, it is true, and while I think these are all genuine (and local) sources, those two are indeed not ideal, and I will check for substitutes. It is probable that there are more sources in various of Nigeria's many languages, but I have not found them (and unfortunately the Hausa and Yoruba wikis are rather smaller than EN, and have not got to this topic yet, or they might offer more). I had hoped that since the film was on a global platform, there would be more reviews / commentaries, but as yet, only inadmissible IMDB, no RT or similar. I will ping when I've done some further work, as I also really like the concept here. SeoR (talk) 23:04, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Those were nice links, thanks, and there is also, from this Nollywood Reporter, [6], but none of these covers the really remarkable point that this whole cinematic complex, turning out 000s of films, lacks kids' movies.

Unfortunately, despite many articles covering the film, I have not yet found one covering quite the same point, but I have finally found an abstract of one saying "first kids film", so I will try to source that; I have also ordered a library book on Nollywood, which I will pick up Monday.

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.

Right now I am unable to do a copyvio check due to technical issues, so for now, I can also add that no QPQ is needed as this is the nominator's first nomination. The hook is the issue here. The hook talks about it being "one of the worst seasons by a professional football club in the top-flight of a country", the article says instead that it had "the statistical worst season of the modern era of professional football", a statement that does not have a source.

I mean, to be fair, that was not a positive article by any stretch of the imagination.

Unfortunately, no. I have had two hooks pulled from the Queue when I allowed something like this to go through in other reviews in the past. (not my articles; ones that I reviewed) Based on those experiences being over ruled, the hook fact has to be in the article in a single location with an inline citation using the language (or very close to the language) of the hook. It can't be inferred by pulling together facts dispersed through the article.4meter4 (talk) 20:15, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Book ref for the hook lacks page numbers. Gatoclass (talk) 13:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Gatoclass: I don't follow. The source for the hook isn't a book ref. Unless you're referring to the New York State's Covered Bridges source, which I've added. 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 00:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Okay, most of the sources state that this is the oldest covered bridge "still standing" in Sullivan County, which implies there may be some covered bridges that still exist but are no longer standing. So perhaps you should add that phrase to the hook and article. Gatoclass (talk) 10:54, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Gatoclass:, does that suffice? 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 18:08, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Not quite, but I've added the phrase "still standing" to the article for clarity. However, I'm a little concerned that some text in the article may violate WP:CLOP as it has similarities with the New York State Covered Bridge Society article - although that website doesn't appear to have any copyright notice. Nikkimaria, would you like to venture an opinion? Gatoclass (talk) 04:53, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
In the absence of a copyright notice we have to assume the work is copyrighted, and I would agree some restructuring would be beneficial. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:17, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Gatoclass:, I redid a handful of sentences that struck out to me as close paraphrasing of the source. The Associated Locations and History sections were the biggest offenders in my opinion. I changed an additional sentence that didn't quite meet criteria just out of an abundance of caution. I went line by line and hopefully got them all. If there are any more, please let me know. 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 21:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Gatoclass: Have your concerns been resolved? If so, are you able to provide a full review and get this approved? Z1720 (talk) 15:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
No it hasn't. The offending paragraph is the one that starts Sometime after 1958, concrete refacing of the dry-laid stone abutments occurred. Normally at this stage I would just massage the text a bit myself and ask for another reviewer, but unfortunately I am very busy off-wiki right now and don't have the time. Maybe by the middle of next week I will be able to come back and take another look. Gatoclass (talk) 02:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Gatoclass:, I've made some additional changes. That being said, many of these sentences are simple phrases that are difficult to rephrase, and are starting to hit WP:LIMITED or would require breaking MOS to resolve.

Overall:   @Your Power and Lk95: The article overall looks fine, and I really like that cheeky hook, so good job! I should point out, though, that a QPQ submission is still needed...

Will handle the QPQ soon, @Oltrepier. Anyways, I am not too entirely convinced of the request above. The DYK as it stands is already factually correct, and adding this specificity to the hook only serves to clutter it with additional, unnecessary information, which I feel diminishes the interest factor.

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:   - 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:  
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.

  •   Article is sufficiently new, long and cute, and looks very impressive, especially for somebody who has just started editing! I've checked a few sources manually for copyright violations, and they came out clean :). Imagine is clear at low resolution, and is appropriately licensed.
    • The DYK line contains jargon (flagellum), which makes it less interesting for the mainpage. Is there a way to explain? The article itself also does not explain what a flagellum is, which is a shame. Typically, Wikipedia wants the lead of an article to be relatively easy to understand, with a bit more leeway for jargon in the body.
    • The source statement is slightly different from the DYK statement (up to 3x vs more than 3x).
    • The statement "Although 12 phenotypes are theoretically possible, only these 5 have been demonstrated in both a field and laboratory setting" does not seem quite supported by the source.

  •   Hi Khaltinner! Welcome to DYK. This page is new enough as a move-in from userspace and long enough. The nominator is quid pro quo (QPQ)-exempt. The hook facts are all in the story from The Washington Post and the article, but ALT1 is not worded well because it's 203 children alone plus other people. ALT0 (the first hook listed) and ALT2 check out and are approved.
    This is a very promising start, but there are some issues with the formatting and style that need fixing to bring this closer to other encyclopedia articles, including:
    • The Individual-level factors subsection's reliance on bold text as bullet points is not typical and should be restructured to not need that. Consider an intro paragraph listing the four factors and then the content from each of those four.
  • I am also a bit concerned that this independent WikiEdu effort might be duplicative of School shooting#United States, which frankly is eligible for being split out into its own article. I know this might seem like a lot to take in at once, but I'd also like to encourage you as an editor to join WP:DISCORD—it's full of experienced editors (like me) who would be happy to help you out.

  • 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. I think your hook does streamline things much better so thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ornithoptera (talk • contribs)
  Okay, so to format this properly: ALT1: ... that an activist protested the use of Chinese characters for Taiwanese Indigenous names by changing hers to "Lee I want to exclusively list my tribal name, my Bunun tribal name is Savungaz Valincinan"?

  •   New enough and long enough, nicely sourced with no NPOV, BLP or copyvio issues in evidence. Hook is interesting and well sourced. NZ has freedom of panorama, so the image checks out. There are, however, a few spit-and-polish matters which should be addressed before promotion: firstly, in New Zealand is better grammar in the hook: secondly, there are quite a few grammatical errors in the article which can be fairly easily fixed. A sample:
  • Its tea brands gives
  • R. Wilson and Co (full stop after one abbreviation, not the other)
  • The costs were at over $1 million

  •   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.

      • 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

Liberty 5-3000

(
)
  • ... that Anthem heroine Liberty 5-3000 is from a society without any? Source: The one slogan-word that has nothing to do with the collective is "Liberty." Although its adoption by the society was perhaps due to the association with "Equality" and "Fraternity" in the slogan of the French Revolution, its use stands out in a society that has no liberty whatsoever [...] The name Liberty 5-3000, moreover, is the name given to the heroine, from Shoshana Milgram Knapp, "Ayn Rand’s Anthem: Self-Naming, Individualism, and Anonymity", Names: A Journal of Onomastics 64, no. 2 (2016): 78–87, here 83.
    • ALT1: ... that Anthem heroine Liberty 5-3000 is from a society without any liberty? Source: Same as ALT0.
    • ALT2: ... that Anthem heroine Liberty 5-3000 starting a monogamous family with the male protagonist "stands alone" in Ayn Rand's usually love triangle–laden corpus? Source: The name Liberty 5-3000, moreover, is the name given to the heroine, from Shoshana Milgram Knapp, "Ayn Rand’s Anthem: Self-Naming, Individualism, and Anonymity", Names: A Journal of Onomastics 64, no. 2 (2016): 78–87, here 83. And Anthem is somewhat of an anomaly in Rand’s body of work in its representation of gender and reproduction. Liberty is [...] monogamous and reproductive—pregnant by Equality at the end of the novella. This sentimental romance-to-maternity plotline stands alone in Rand’s original fiction, to be replaced later by intensely eroticized romantic triangles, no pregnancies in sight, from Lisa Duggan, Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and the Culture of Greed (University of California Press, 2019), 44.
    • ALT3: ... that scholars have called the heroine of Ayn Rand's Anthem, Liberty 5-3000, "an ideal Randian" and "a frivolous trophy wife"? Source: The name Liberty 5-3000, moreover, is the name given to the heroine, from Shoshana Milgram Knapp, "Ayn Rand’s Anthem: Self-Naming, Individualism, and Anonymity", Names: A Journal of Onomastics 64, no. 2 (2016): 78–87, here 83. And Liberty is described as an ideal Randian imperial subject, from Lisa Duggan, Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and the Culture of Greed (University of California Press, 2019), 44. And By the final chapter, Rand has elevated the penitent Equality 7-2521 to a titan and reduced the once-steely Liberty 5-3000 to a frivolous trophy wife, from Thomas Horan, Desire and Empathy in Twentieth-century Dystopian Fiction (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), 140.

  • 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

    • 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.

  •   Article new enough and long enough, well cited with no reliability issues seen in the sourcing. However the Description section is still very close in wording to what is found at Fungi of Great Britain and Ireland, reorganization of the section and wording adjustments are recommended.--Kevmin § 18:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Kevmin Hi, thanks for your evaluation. I've substantially rewritten the description section and introduced new sources. Also minor section/format tweaking. Regards.X (talk) 23:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  •   Article is new, long enough and neutral. It is referenced with sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports few text similarity, commenting "violation unlikely". The hook (I prefer the original one) is well-formed and interesting. Its length is within limit. It is inline referenced in foreign language, and for the accuracy of its fact, I AGF. Only one of the two required QPQs was provided. I will approve after the second QPQ isdone. CeeGee 12:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC).Reply

History of the Jews in Dubrovnik

(

The Jewish Street, Dubrovnik
  • ... that the decree on the expulsion of the Jews from Dubrovnik made exception for physicians and was not consistently enforced? Source: "This perception ... was responsible for an edict of expulsion on May 4, 1515. ... the government exempted Jewish physicians. [These laws] were never fully enforced nor were they to last long" Birnbaum, Marianna D. (2003). The Long Journey of Gracia Mendes. Central European University Press. p. 68. ISBN 9789639241671.
    • ALT1: ... that the Jewish ghetto of Dubrovnik initially consisted of one street (pictured) walled in on both sides with a gate that was locked at night? Source: The [ghetto] was set up ... on Loijarska street, later called Zudioska. ... The street was walled in on both ends and a gate was built into one wall. Residents had to be inside the walls at night when the gate was locked. Birnbaum, Marianna D. (2003). The Long Journey of Gracia Mendes. Central European University Press. p. 68. ISBN 9789639241671.
    • ALT2: ... that the Jewish community of Dubrovnik grew due to the expulsions of Jews and Marranos from the Iberian peninsula? Source: It is a well-known fact that, after expulsion from Spain (1492), and later from Portugal (1498), Sephardic Jews travelled along various routes in search for a new homeland. One of the countries they were directed to was the Ottoman Empire, at that time developing into a powerful state which welcomed and tolerated the banished Jews, who brought with them their vast knowledge and culture.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited:   - See below.
  • Interesting:  
  • Other problems:   - 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.

  • Other problems:  
QPQ: None required.

Overall:   No images, QPQ also unnecessary. Claim is properly cited, and mentioned multiple times throughout the article. No copy-vio issues upon spotchecks and the source is reliable. Article was recently promoted to GA after a lengthy review, so congratulation are in order for that.

The source's quote is specifically In addition, more than 1.2 million new cases are diagnosed and global prostate cancer-related deaths exceed 350,000 annually, making it one of the leading causes of cancer-associated death in men

I could maybe see a close paraphrasing issue here but I'll chalk it up to WP:LIMITED since these are simple facts that are hard to reword.

Also I'll try and find a more recent statistic for the number of people connected.

Special occasion holding area edit

The holding area is near the top of the Approved page. Please only place approved templates there; do not place them below.

Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section above, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began; indicate in the nomination any request for a specially timed appearance on the main page.
Note: Articles intended to be held for special occasion dates should be nominated within seven days of creation, start of expansion, or promotion to Good Article status. The nomination should be made at least one week prior to the occasion date, to allow time for reviews and promotions through the prep and queue sets, but not more than six weeks in advance. The proposed occasion must be deemed sufficiently special by reviewers. The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. Discussion clarifying the hold criteria can be found here: [23]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [24].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
