This page holds approved nominations that are waiting to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page. Following DYK approval, nominations are processed and moved into a Prep area, and from there, prep sets are promoted to a queue, and then to the main page.

To create a new nomination or to see those that are yet to be approved, see Template talk:Did you know. For the discussion page see WT:DYK. Click on the link to go directly to the Special occasion holding area.

  If some of the nominations are not showing up properly at the bottom of the page, these alternative pages can be used to view a subset of the most recent nominations.

Instructions for nominators

[edit]

This page is for those nominations that have already been approved and are waiting to be promoted. If yours has been approved but has not yet been run on the main page, it should either be on this page or will soon be moved here, or already promoted to a Prep area or Queue ahead of an appearance on the main page.

If you wish to create a new nomination, please go to the Template talk:Did you know page; there are instructions there in a section similar to this one on how to nominate an article for DYK.

Frequently asked questions

[edit]

Backlogged?

[edit]

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until someone promotes it to a preparation area. To alleviate this problem, if the approved page has more than 120 approved hooks, then sets will change twice per day (every 12 hours) instead of once per day (every 24 hours). When the backlog falls below 60 approved nominations set frequency returns to once a day.

Where is my hook?

[edit]

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been 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 other editors

[edit]

How to promote an accepted hook

[edit]
  • See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
  • In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
  • In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
  • In the prep set...
    • Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
    • Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
  • Back on DYK nomination page...
    • change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • change |passed= to |passed=yes
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save

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 the nominations 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 the nominations 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.

Nominations

[edit]

Special occasion holding area

[edit]
Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section on the regular nominations page, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began, or it was listed as a Good Article; be sure to 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 between 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: [1]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [2].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
Note for promoters: please be sure to add an "invisible" comment after a hook when you've placed it in prep, noting that it's a special occasion hook and including the date it is supposed to run. This should keep the hook from being moved after promotion, as sometimes happens to hooks when a queue needs a slot filled or a prep set needs to be made more balanced by swapping hooks between preps.

Liberalism in the Philippines

  • Source: 1, 2
Converted from a redirect by TheNuggeteer (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 11 past nominations.

🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 04:36, 7 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Long enough, new enough. QPQ done. Earwig highlights a couple of phrases, but I can't think of another way of wording them so calling WP:LIMITED. I think the {{improve categories}} template should be resolved. Could you talk me through the sourcing for the hook?--Launchballer 23:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the improve categories tag, what do you need? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 03:50, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing where in the article the hook is spelt out, unless I'm going blind.--Launchballer 09:45, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Philippine revolution and martial law, which both signify the ideology was used in revolutions. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 04:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
that's not "mostly". ltbdl☃ (talk) 05:01, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by that? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 08:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The hook reads as quite unspecific and vague, the meaning is not clear to a reader with no background. It would be better to have a more specific and concrete fact. CMD (talk) 08:12, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Another hook: ALT1: ...that the first liberalist party in the Philippines ended from government suppression? SRC 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 08:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Better, but you'd need an end-of-sentence citation for that party being the first.--Launchballer 10:45, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean by that? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 11:26, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that the Comite de Reformadores was the first liberalist party needs an end-of-sentence citation. See that link for what that means.--Launchballer 11:29, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 20:44, 7 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

@Jeraxmoira, the whole article confirms very closely with the prose-line anti-pattern. It would be nice to fix that issue before this hits the main page. (not particularly required for DYK) Sohom (talk) 03:38, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 05:47, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In my personal opinion, these hooks don't meet WP:DYKINT - ALT0 is basically "a cinematographer drew inspiration from people" combined with the seemingly unrelated "a cinematographer likes not using studios", ALT1 is "Cinematographer uses time-authentic film" and ALT2 is "Cinematographer got a degree, moved to Asia from LA for jobs". Feel free to disagree, up to the promoter DimensionalFusion (talk ▪ she/her) 10:09, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Created by BeanieFan11 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 237 past nominations.

BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:27, 17 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: No - Should clarify something like how late these shoes were and/or how much they're needed for running, but no other issues.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nom one week after creation and size 2330 B. Ref 4 ad 6 is broken, so I used [4] and [5]. @BeanieFan11: fix these issues and I'll approve. You may wanna update the article, but consider this optional. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11 and Miraclepine: Ping me if you need any hooks assessed.--Launchballer 10:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Since BeanieFan11 hasn't provided a hook in the past week, I guess I'll have to do it myself:
ALT1: ... that Mokulubete Makatisi placed eighth at the Commonwealth Games women's marathon despite running in new shoes she received late during the race? Ref: ALT0 + Athletics experts are convinced had she not received new running shoes late during the marathon, she was definitely going to put up a superb performance
Not gonna lie, this nom's gonna close just as late as these shoes. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:08, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the alt – I was having trouble thinking of a good way to word that. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1 is cited, interesting, and short enough. This could probably do with a longer lead, but this isn't required. Let's roll.--Launchballer 17:33, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A House in Jerusalem

Created by Makeandtoss (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 43 past nominations.

Makeandtoss (talk) 11:35, 11 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for pointing out this guideline.
ALT1 ... that the director of the Netflix-released film A House in Jerusalem, Muayad Alayan, is a Palestinian whose family was expelled from what had become Israel during the Nakba in 1948? Makeandtoss (talk) 09:06, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not too fond of the hook as it seems to be more about the director than the movie itself, but will let a different editor decide. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:59, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that hook is fine. The first hook wasn't, per WP:DYKFICTION. The film features the Nakba and its significant that the director himself was a victim of the same event. I can do the rest of the review shortly.VR (Please ping on reply) 16:41, 17 September 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
QPQ: Done.

Overall: New, not a stub. The film's reception section does include both positive and negative reviews. Earwig gives "Violation unlikely 23.1%." There's no citation for the althook, but in the article it appears and is cited to this source. VR (Please ping on reply) 21:56, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: and @Makeandtoss: any further comments? VR (Please ping on reply) 21:56, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nope all good. Makeandtoss (talk) 21:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Came to promote this, but I agree with Narutolovehinata5's concern about Alt1's lack of focus; see WP:DYKINT, third paragraph. Another angle should be taken. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 11:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then one of these two alts should be good @Nineteen Ninety-Four guy: @Vice regent: @Narutolovehinata5::
ALT2 ... that the Netflix-released film A House in Jerusalem is inspired by the history of the director's Palestinian family, who were expelled from what had become Israel during the Nakba in 1948?
ALT3 ... that the Netflix-released film A House in Jerusalem touches on the 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight from what had become Israel during the Nakba in 1948? Makeandtoss (talk) 11:25, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of questions: 1) How do we know that the reviews/reactions to the film are NPOV? Have other editors in addition to the prinicpal author of the article done a survey of the reactions? 2) What were the circumstances of the family's flight? Were they "expelled" or did they "flee"? The article and this nomination do not agree. Either word needs to be clarified as to the circumstances of this family and this event. SPECIFICO talk 13:10, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1)I did a quick google search and found several more reviews (guardian:[6][7], leftlion:[8], Church Times:[9]). The reviews are mixed, leaning positive, but with some criticism, like the movie feels slow and "languid", that the plot is convincing but does one plot hole. It would be good to integrate that into the article, but I want to caution we are not judging WP:GA status here and DYK entries are allowed to be incomplete.
2) The source says "Alayan knows Jerusalem’s tragedy well. He describes how both sides of his family were forced from the city during the Nakba." So the hook checks out.VR (Please ping on reply) 22:17, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reliable source was provided regarding the family's circumstances as mentioned by VR above. As for the reviews section, anyone is welcome to edit the section and expand it, but that bears no weight on this hook nomination. Makeandtoss (talk) 12:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've struck the problematic hooks. Under the circumstances, another editor should give this a fresh review. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 16:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Makeandtoss: The article does not spell out that the film was inspired by the director's history and ALT3 violates WP:DYKFICTION.--Launchballer 20:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: You are right about ALT2; I have just added that sentence to the article cited to the MEE source. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:38, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let's roll.--Launchballer 09:26, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

William, Prince of Wales, in film and television

William, Prince of Wales, wearing medals and a remembrance poppy
William, Prince of Wales
Elevator pitch to increase appeal of subject matter

Many years ago, European royal families were the most powerful politicians of their countries. Compare that to today, where (aside from Pope Francis) royalty serve as figureheads in kingdoms such as Belgium and Sweden. Or, in the case of the United Kingdom, you have a family of princes as the ultimate form of soft power, appealing to the masses worldwide through their charity work and family milestones.

Arguably, nowhere is this soft power more popular (at least for now) than in the form of Prince William, on deck to be king of the birthplace of the English language, the Great White North, Down Under, and 12 other countries. By presenting this article on Did you know, readers will learn much more about the public's fascination with this prince on the big screen and small screen alike. From two films on his wedding to a documentary on his advocacy for climate change, there will be plenty of intrigue and critique that will not disappoint!

Finally, as a more serious comment, I would like to note that this page's parent article appeared on Did you know less than a year ago as of this post. If this affects eligibility, please let me know.

Egyptian Labour Corps mutinies

  • Source: Deaths were in two of the mutinies on 6 and 11 September: "the Egyptians tried to get out of their camp and were fired on by the garrison battalion, who killed twenty-three ... "reinforcements were called in. Again there was shooting, in which five were killed" from p255 of James, Lawrence (1987). Mutiny in the British and Commonwealth Forces, 1797-1956. London: Buchan & Enright. pp. 252–257. ISBN 0-907675-70-0. I have gone with 27 as >Grint, Keith (2021). Mutiny and Leadership. Oxford University Press. pp. 280–281. ISBN 978-0-19-289334-5. gives four killed on 11 September and the CWGC lists seven who died on that day.

  • Reviewing
  • Article is long enough and new enough
  • Article is well written, neutral and supported by inline citations.
  • Both hooks are short enough, correctly formatted and supported by inline citations.
  • No copyvio detected on Earwig
  • QPQ done
  • I think the original hook is slightly ambiguous. It could be interpreted as meaning that at least 27 men were killed on each of the 2 occasions. If 'twice' was removed this would remove ambiguity and still be accurate.

So suggest ALT2 "... that in 1917 British soldiers in France opened fire on mutineers from the Egyptian Labour Corps, killing at least 27 of them?"

ALT1 approved for 6 September

  • Altogether a very detailed, informative and interesting article

  • Will be claiming this for review, but so far it looks good. The article was initially created in 2022 but was moved to userspace to be worked on as a draft; the article was moved back to mainspace on August 15, the day of the nomination, so for DYK purposes it should count as a new article. Earwig is down at the moment so I cannot check for close paraphrasing. A QPQ has been done. I have yet to check all statements in the article, but as for the hooks, my preference is the original one.

    • Hello–I am very sorry for the delay. Article is new and long enough, well-sourced, copyvio free, QPQ done. I also think the article is fairly neutral and accurately presents the objective facts and timeline of events. I had to add two {{failed verification}} tags because I did not see those claims in any of the cited sources. If I overlooked something despite my best efforts, please let me know. Vis-a-vis the hooks: since ALT3 failed verification, we cannot use it until that is addressed. ALT1 is my preference, as it demonstrates the impact this had on the community. ALT2 I like too, more emotionally centered, but I wonder to others if it would be less interesting than the community response.

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I have some concern about the roundabout way the citation verifies the hook. Presently, I think there are two logical leaps being made from "sought suggestions from the local hockey community, and Joe's name was recommended" → "receiving a recommendation from Canada?" and then "Finland was searching for a Finnish speaking instructor with knowledge of the Canadian ice hockey system." → "coached the Finland men's national ice hockey team" connected by the "after receiving" makes it sound like the coaching position was directly a result from the recommendation from Canada. Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:25, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm okay with Canada being a stand-in for "local community" (we're small, I get it; and it is limited at DYK) but the implied timeline seems like a bit of a stretch, but could be easily remedied. Suggested alternative: ALT1: "... that Joe Wirkkunen, after receiving a recommendation from Canada, would go on to coach the Finland men's national ice hockey team?" just to clarify. Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bobby Cohn and Flibirigit: Neither the article nor the source say where he was recommended from. It just says "to former Canadian Amateur Hockey Association president Frank Sargent".--Launchballer 09:48, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The source states "from the local hockey community", which is Port Arthur, where both Wirkkunen and Sargent resided and were involved in hockey. I have added that specific phrase to the article. Flibirigit (talk) 00:34, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Port Arthur and Canada are not the same thing.--Launchballer 21:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You'll note I did catch this on my first pass. An explanation as to why this botherered me less when I came to review this is that if something (i.e.: a person, a recommendation) comes from Port Author, it also inherently comes from Canada. Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is probably nothing I like seeing more on DYK than women scientists. Thanks for this one, Chaiten1. The article is new and long enough. It covers the subject's life and career perfectly well. The sources are of very high quality and even quite accessible too. There are two issues, however. Firstly, "Crane lived in Brighton for the rest of her life" and "a role later taken on by Crane's father" require citations. Secondly, the wording of the hook can be improved. I would propose something like:
  • ALT1: that despite having no university training, Agnes Crane described a new species of brachiopod in 1886?
Let me know what you think. Surtsicna (talk) 20:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not a review, more of a comment: the current hook is very US-centric. The rivalry will probably be understood by US readers, but those outside the US may not be as familiar with the Gators-Seminoles rivalry. My suggestion would be to add some more context to the hook, like saying Olsson helped the Seminoles in their soccer championships. As written, the hook doesn't even make it clear that she's a soccer player! Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:20, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hmm, I wouldn't describe that as US-centric, just local. But not being familiar with the rivalry is kind of central to the hook. Could add that she won championships but I think that would be wordy/distract. Added sport. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 13:32, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think most readers can infer that two schools within the same state are probably rivals. For the hook, I'd add Olsson's nationality to make it a bit clearer about why she wouldn't know about the rivalry. SounderBruce 03:17, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added Swedish to the hook for additional context. I think the additional context about her being a football player and being from Sweden satisfies my original concerns. Full review still needed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Might as well do a review as no one else has picked it up. The article is new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination. Her date of birth is mentioned in the article but lacks a reference, so that will need to be addressed. The lede also has a minor grammatical error ("Sweden at youth international level" instead of "Sweden at the youth international level"). I did not find any close paraphrasing, and a QPQ has been provided. The changes to the hook have addressed my concerns and I feel it now sufficiently meets WP:DYKINT as I think the hook fact works with the additional context, even if readers are not aware of the rivalry. Although I added "Swedish" to the hook, it does not fundamentally change the hook fact and it's already verified in the article, so I'll give it an IAR approval rather than ask a new reviewer to approve it, once the issues raise above have been addressed.

  • Hi Cambalachero! Overall, I think the article is well-written. Earwig showed no copyright violations, and the article was moved to mainspace on 16 August, so it is new enough. However, I have some concerns about the plot section. Although there are no specific standard for its length and the current plot summary is sourced, I think it is a bit too lengthy, as it is longer than the lead, editorial history, and reception sections combined. Trimming it down to around 400 to 700 words would be more suitable for the article, so it does not overly focus on in-universe content. —Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 13:01, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The French choreographer Jérôme Bel, also interviewed by The Times in 2010, said of Ms. Panetta, “If a dancer would be a rocket, she would be a launchpad.” He was her student at the National Center of Contemporary Dance in France, where she was the founding ballet teacher in the early 1980s. “Not telling you where to go, just giving you confidence in the universe,” he said."

Would you consider a slight tweak to the hook like:

  • ALT1:... that the developer of the The Crimson Diamond first created a series of pixel art rooms and later built a game around the house she had designed?

I realize it's almost the same. I think "lone" is not entirely necessary, and the emphasis could imply that no other people worked on the game at all. Also, it seems more direct and factual to say that she built the game than decided to build the game. If you're not interested in the ALT, feel free to strike.

Overall: Article was created 21 August and nominated on the same day. Fine article overall, thanks for your contribution. Regarding the hooks: the piped link to Will Wood (musician) should be updated to link to the article Will Wood directly, as redirects are not allowed. ALT0 is good, but somewhat more vague and mysterious than it is interesting, I think. ALT1 is more interesting, but jargony - I had to go looking through the source to learn what EBSynth is or why it's important. Can the software be omitted from the hook? As a suggestion:

Overall: The plot section does not have inline sourcing, but this is not required per MOS:PLOTSOURCE. ALT2 talks about using a bedpan to save and needing to empty it to save again, which is not exactly what the hook says. It may need to be reworded if it is the hook chosen, but I believe other hooks are more interesting anyway, especially ALT3. The source provided for ALT3 does not mention humanitarian aid, but this is mentioned in other sources in the article. I believe this DYK is ready to go.

  • Article is both new and long enough. No copyright violation. Article is presentable. Both sources are cited, one with one with a local newspaper and a student newspaper. No QPQ necessary. I feel the ALT1 is more interesting. I also think it might make more sense, in the original proposal, for the word "express" to be replaced with the word "portray" or "depict". Overall a solid nomination.

  • Article is in good shape, recently promoted to GA. The hook checks, though the provided source on bulldozers was incorrect -- I have changed it. It might not be the most interesting, given that trucks and bulldozers are commonly used in disaster recovery operations -- could you perhaps suggest a few ALTs?
I would like to see source data information for File:Urduja 17 Animation.gif, but that is not strictly a requirement for GA, and the article would also benefit from some further copyediting. I can find no evidence of the supposed CC1.0 licence on File:Kai-tak imerg 13-18 december 2017 animated.gif and File:Analysis of Tropical Storm Kai-Tak.jpg, but both should be PD as the work of a US government employee. I can find no other copyvio, BLP or other serious concerns.

  • Again, I'm not sure we've passed the threshold of interest there -- most tropical storms do that, and it's not particularly interesting that they do. Per WP:DYKINT: The hook should be likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest. Can you find anything in the article that would meet that -- for example, things which apply only to this particular storm, or might otherwise be surprising and motivate a reader to click on the article?

  • I started to review this, but then I got to copyediting so I'm ineligible to review. It grieves me to say that I could not find material for an even remotely off-color ALT. EEng 02:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. However, I don't think this hook works for two reasons. One, the fun of this hook is backwards. The punchline of this hook is when you get to the article and realize it is about a painting and not actual beachfront property. That's witty, but the wit isn't in what one sees on the main page. On its face, the buying of property along a beach isn't interesting, and I don't think the hook will draw in many readers so that they get the wit of the hook which requires actually going to the page. Two, the hook is factually inaccurate. Even if a painting depicts beachside property, the purchaser of a painting knows they aren't buying land, they are buying a painting. I get the humor/wit behind the hook, and if this were an April Fools hook proposal it would be appropriate. In short: we need a new hook that is hooky at first glance and verifiable.4meter4 (talk) 22:33, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting GA biography, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Of the hooks, I prefer ALT1, by far. "Possessed" is too ambiguous a word, and that spirit not known (at least to me). I like the description of the ceremony better than labelling her as priestess (ALT2), and ALT3 says nothing more than the obvious: that we didn't know her ;) - In the article, I'd say something about the lead image, such as "depiction".

  • GA status confirmed, date is fine. Various GA-related quality aspects confirmed as meeting DYK standards. Still needs a QPQ review. Hook needs improvements; not Nokia devices, but a single device (the article states "In homage to his first albums, which he spread using Bluetooth, he released a collector's edition Nokia 6120 handset."). And while this is not a DYK concern, I think this part of the article should be expanded - how can one spread albums using Bluetooth? How does one include an album in a handset (the source states it was pre-loaded onto a classic handset, which is confusing - what exactly was that item)? If I was a GA reviewer I'd expect this to be addressed (expanded with clarifications in the text).

  • Suggestion: “Pantouw later joined another organization in Makassar, Syukai Gi In, which later became Sudara (Sumburan Darah Rakyat, lit. "Source of the People's Blood") after the end of the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies.”
  • Ref 3: “Together with Ratulangi, Najamuddin Daeng Malewa and other Republicans, he had been active in various organizations in Sulawesi such as Source of the People’s Blood (Sumber Darah Rakyat, Sudara) and the Party of Popular Sovereignty (Partai Kedaulatan Rakyat, pkr). But eventually he came to the conclusion that nothing could be achieved through such organizations. He therefore joined the NIT together with Malewa, cooperated with the Dutch, and became minister of information in the first cabinet of the NIT. His main concern was to tackle the many social problems confronting the Indonesian people due to the Japanese colonial rule and the Allied bombings. Pantouw was fully aware that the NIT was widely regarded as a Dutch puppet. But he was determined to turn it into a tool to push the Dutch into ending their colonialism. Pantouw argued that it was impossible for the Republic of Indonesia – which had no power, no army and no weapons in this part of Indonesia – to fight the Dutch effectively.
  • Article: “Pantouw, together with other nationalists including Sam Ratulangi and Nadjamuddin Daeng Malewa, were active in Sudara as well as the Party of Popular Sovereignty (Partai Kedaulatan Rakyat, PKR). However, he came to the conclusion that nothing could be achieved through such organizations. He, together with Malewa, therefore chose to cooperate with the Dutch. Both Pantouw and Malewa joined the first cabinet of the Dutch-backed State of East Indonesia (Negara Indonesia Timur, NIT). The latter became prime minister, while the former became minister of information. Pantouw's main concern was to tackle the many social problems confronting the Indonesian people. He was aware that the NIT was seen by many simply as a Dutch puppet state. But he was determined to turn the state into a tool to push the Dutch into ending colonialism. Pantouw argued that it was impossible for the newly proclaimed Republic of Indonesia — which had no power, no army, and no weapons in this part of the country — to fight the Dutch effectively, thus joining the NIT was a necessary step given the political situation.”
  • Suggestion: “Despite being active in organizations like Sudara and the People's Sovereignty Party, he decided to collaborate with the Dutch government after realizing an inability to achieve much with the former, and he joined the first cabinet of the Dutch-backed State of East Indonesia (NIT) as minister of information, under the leadership of prime minister Nadjamuddin Daeng Malewa, also a fellow nationalist. Despite being aware of the NIT’s reputation as a puppet state, he was determined to not only address Indonesian people's social concerns, but also to pressure the Dutch into decolonization, arguing that "it was impossible for the newly proclaimed Republic of Indonesia — which had no power, no army, and no weapons in this part of the country — to fight the Dutch effectively".”
  • More suggestions: Remove “As a member of Jong Minahasa“ as redundant and replace with “and”, and replace “participated” with “stood” or “ran”.

@Kaythehistorian: Almost everything is good, except:
  • Change "during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies. The organization changed its name" to -> "before it changed its name"; redundant since the next sentence is already clear he remained in Sudara around the time he collaborated with a post-war puppet regime; also this helps fix a close-paraphrasing issue, and it helps if you look at WP:POSA.
  • Change "was the best way" to "was essential"; the former implies there were other options even though the source doesn't make such seem as obvious as the latter.
  • Fix the "210–1" to "211–2"; I checked the source and I assume it's probably a mistake, just like "re-establish" (a minor grammar issue I fixed myself).
Fix these and only these and I'll approve ALT0a. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:09, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Right and the Wrong

To say this topic's title sounds highly reminiscent of the Bell Dramatic Serial soaps...but that's besides the point here.
For those keeping track on XTools (at least for the next couple of hours), this nomination officially marks my 20,000th edit on the English Wikipedia--14 years after my last milestone. (Helped a lot--and then some--by my ongoing backlog-clearance drive of AFC's unassessed list, whose near-conclusion my pitch also coincides with.) Many thanks to those I've met on this edition ever since February 2005--whether they're still editing or not.
Seriously, WP needs more coverage on audiovisual media from the Commonwealth Caribbean--and we've only just started by now. A special shout-out to Trinidadian stalwart Guettarda (talk · contribs · count), and CaribDigita (talk · contribs · count) of Barbados; as an occasional reminder, I'm a Commonwealth of Dominica expatriate. Guettarda's recent essay, "Decolonizing Wikipedia" (which I discovered several hours before press time), is recommended reading for future Caribbean-based editors. Here's hoping more from my own native homeland take up the mantle from here.
As always, stay tuned for several more candidates of mine in the months to come. Take care--and I'll see you back!
P.S. Reddit's loss had better be this community's gain--and I know it as a veteran of both platforms. (It'll be Digg all over again when reports of the userbase's vitriol this week over an extremely loathed, uncalled-for UI revamp hit the wires of The New York Times et al....if they ever do--and they should.)

As for the hook, the article seems a bit unclear: the hook says one of the first two in Trinidad, but all I see in the prose of the article is 1970's The Right and the Wrong and The Caribbean Fox, both directed by Harbance Kumar, were the first English-speaking films to be produced natively in the West Indies. Could you clarify in the article that it is one of the first two Trinidad films if that is the case?

  • Article is new enough, long enough, and well-sourced. Earwig was down for me but a spot check showed no issues so AGF'ing on the rest. QPQ done. All hooks are sourced and found in the article. I'm not crazy about ALT1 due to the vagueness of what could be considered a "major" nation. In my opinion, ALT0 is slightly stilted and would benefit from a rewording to "...because it lacked the funds to do so?", though I may be in a minority with that opinion. In any case, my preference is for ALT4, followed by ALT0, ALT2, and ALT3, though I leave the ultimate decision to the promoter. Nice work on the article, Epicgenius.

  • Overall great article, ALT2 is my favorite hook, then ALT1, ALT0, ALT3, ALT4. All check out regarding sourcing and are . The image doesn't really work at the low resolution IMO, I think one of the aviary shots would be better. Some assorted comments since I read the whole article, but are minor and don't block the DYK approval:
    • The Animals section starts with "The zoo is home to as many as 112 species as of 2013" (and in the infobox); is there really no updated figure 10 years later?
    • "The administration of mayor Ed Koch and the New York Zoological Society signed a fifty-year agreement" - did the administration really sign the agreement and not the mayor himself? The NYT source says the mayor signed it.
    • Many animals are not wikilinked on first reference in the Description section, but later are during the Animals section - was there a reason for that?
    • I'm low-key skeptical that the non-free logo in the infobox adds anything, it basically just says the zoo's name. Legoktm (talk) 06:55, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks for the review. I added some links and changed the text about the agreement to reflect the source. The logo is outdated, so I removed it.

    General eligibility:

    Policy compliance:

    • Adequate sourcing: No - I will kindly AGF the offline sources, but many parts of the article is unsourced. Paragraph four has an unsourced statement, and the "Biology" paragraph is unsourced; there’s also one ending in "FAO REF?". Ref 1 doesn't specify it's a "gamefish" beyond vague "if fished incidentally" (which doesn't clarify individual scale nor if it's done commercially or recreationally, especially when next to "commercial importance") nor mention angling. I can't seem to find the 2.5g weight in ref 11. Ref 16 doesn’t say “the silver porgy is generally standoffish and seldom approaches divers”; while it says “D. argenteus had always been seen in the gulfs”, it doesn’t go beyond only a few year-round divers identifying the species. "Or anything to do with Argentina's etymology" seems so OR-y and debatable; both of them come from the same Latin word.

    Overall: Nom four days after creation and size at 3871. There are several sourcing issues you'll have to fix, as well as a QPQ to provide; see above. Also, it would help if you could provide online links to the refs since it'll make the reviewers' jobs better; I had to find some of them myself with the WP:LIBRARY providing access to some of them, and I’ve linked them in the refs. And please refrain from using redundant sources; I only needed 12/13 to verify one of the claims that also had ref 9 attached. ミラP@Miraclepine 22:13, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I believe I've fixed most of the more pressing issues around left over annotations and poor sourcing. That said, I recognize that there could be a case to be made for OR and have provided an alternative hook, that I am much more in favor of using.

    @Ryan shell: While the ALT1 seems boring, I'm fine with ALT0 because the issue I raised was on being related to Argentina's etymology but not Argentina the country. That said, while the gamefish issue has been fixed - I crossed off the ref 16 issue because I put in the wrong ref, silly me - no other issues have been resolved and the article still has unsourced paragraphs. BTW I'm pretty sure it's more convenient to add the QPQ in the "Reviewed" line. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:25, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • : Seems new and long enough, almost entirely written by nominator; I have a few very minor problems with the sourcing that I think can be resolved by just copying some nearby sources, which I tagged: specifically, I think there should be a citation for the 1st paragraph of "Svayamvara in the Rg Veda" and one place in the 1st paragraph of "Damayantī's Svayamvara". Also, I think it would be more clear if the source at the end of the last paragraph of the lead were duplicated to the first two paragraphs as well if it applies to them, and per the DYK guidelines, I think that the source given has to be present at the end of the sentence giving the claim present in the hook. Don't see any neutrality issues. Article is (listing criteria) presentable, image & hook seem good, no other complaints.

    • Hi @CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath:. Article is new enough, long enough, well-written and cited. Earwig didn't detect any copyvio. No QPQ needed. The source for each hook checks out. I think ALT1 is the most interesting hook, but the phrasing is a bit awkward and probably hews too close to the source you've given.

    @Tenpop421: I agree alt1 is the most interesting. I really struggled with the wording with that one because MOS:MEDLANG kind of frowns upon using the term "doctor" hence why the sentence is a bit closer to the source than I would usually write.

Earwig also shows that the article is copyvio free. However, I have some concerns about the hook. I do not find it particularly interesting, and the reason for Yang's execution is not clearly conveyed. The People's Daily source cited in this nomination mentions that Chiang Kai-shek personally called Yang before ordering his execution, which is a much clearer and more interesting detail for a hook in my opinion. But this is just a suggestion for possible amendments to the hook, and it is not compulsory. If the nominator prefers to keep the current hook, that is perfectly fine with me as well. —Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 14:39, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Prince of Erebor. That tidbit is mentioned in several of the sources. However, given that they are all state media, and their likelihood of being non-neutral in detailing Chiang Kai-shek, I'm a bit iffy reporting it as objective fact (I think at least one mentions that he basically threw the phone in response). I can add a few lines making it clear that this comes from a state source, then we can do an ALT. Let me revisit the sources. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:04, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Crisco 1492: Thanks for your swift reply and update! It is true that state media should not be taken at face value, but it appears that all the other sources cited in the Later years and death section, such as China Daily and The Paper, are also state-owned, leaving us with limited options.

I checked the major sources and didn't find anything that could be construed as close paraphrasing; besides the few things that couldn't easily be said any other way ("born in Hong Kong and raised in Honolulu"). I brought up issue with the provenance of sources but if this is not an issue please forgive me as I am very new to DYK. I have no other comments. Reconrabbit 19:19, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Reconrabbit: As a frequent creator of academic biographies, I'm pretty sure the sources in question are reliable for basic facts (her own site included) and I don't think there are any ABOUTSELF issues, especially when the affiliated institutions are non-profits (especially the educational ones). Further, I added more secondary sources to be safe. ミラP@Miraclepine 18:05, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Miraclepine: I wasn't aware of the nonprofit situation. Overall it looks like a fine hook and the basis for the statement isn't disputed. The addition of secondary sources is of course appreciated. I support this nomination. Reconrabbit 18:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Interesting hook but slight problems that could be resolved before I can complete a final confirmation for it to be approved for DYK. In the hook, it mentions "lbisu created a bulgogi taco honoring the Koreatown neighborhood of his hometown of Annandale, Virginia". But in the article, it states Washingtonian magazine described the Vienna menu as a “love letter to Northern Virginia”, with a “7 Corners Shrimp” taco honoring Eden Center’s hub of Vietnamese restaurants and “Bulgogi Bullfight” drawing on Annandale’s Koreatown neighborhood. Could you edit the article to state the hook directly so that the viewers can easily view and understand it? (eg.Albisu created the “Bulgogi Bullfight”, a taco which honored the Koreatown neighborhood of his hometown of Annandale, Virginia.)

    • New enough (submitted within four days of creation), long enough (8,654 characters). Well sourced with inline citations; written neutrally. Earwig flags up a "violation possible" with a high percentage of similarity, but this turns out to be due to the large number of memorial quotes which are properly attributed; personally I think there are too many of those memorial quotes for an encyclopedia article (it's an encyclopedia article, not an obituary), but not a deal breaker for DYK. (The other copy fix I would recommend is to find alternative wording for "she was heavily involved following the 2022 Winnipeg serial killings", which doesn't sound good.) QPQ is done. The hooks are both interesting and verified by the sources provided...but a tiny gotcha is that the "first woman" part referenced in ALT1 is actually not mentioned within the actual article. Fix that issue within the article and this is a pass. Thanks for creating the article. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Length of both articles ok. Date perhaps such have bee 6 Sep, but ok. No close paraphrase found. Image free on Commons. I prefer the original hook, but don't see sentences in article (directly referenced) clearly stating the fact. The articles need some editing, sentence such as "He died shortly after, and the" appears incomplete. Also, is the Arabic script names correct? I know nothing about Arabic script use in North Caucasus, but نازمودن is not Najmuddin in Arabic. --Soman (talk) 14:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Soman:, I'm not quite sure if it would be written with the same letters as Arabic or if it would be written in the same style as Cyrillic/Latin-script forms of Avar. I wouldn't have any bias towards changing the spelling of Najmuddin in Arabic-script Avar to the Arabic form. The problem of an incomplete sentence has been fixed, as was a spelling error in the body. Mupper-san (talk) 21:18, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, I learnt something new today. Usually non-Arabic languages retain Arabic spellings of Islamic names when using Arabic scripts. But I now understand that the spellings in Avar with Arabic differ from Arabic (I note the spelling of Rasul here for example). I also now find the hook fact in each other articles, --Soman (talk) 22:45, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • I may review this nomination later today, but a quick comment is that while the source goes into detail about why !Nawatiseb was chosen to drive the car, why other party leaders were supposedly upset, and ostensible explanations as to why the car was reassigned, the article itself only talks about !Nawatiseb's embarrassment over the car being taken.

    Sorry to butt in, but the article isn't good enough for DYK. At first, I intended to remove the stub tag (we don't run stubs at DYK) but it's arguably still a stub. There is nothing outside of his political career; no early life, education, or what he did before politics. The article therefore fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Secondly, the date and place of birth are both unreferenced and that's a violation of WP:BLP. Thirdly, about half the article deals with controversies and that feels unbalanced; hence it fails WP:NPOV. There's a lot more work required to get this ready. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Overall: New enough, long enough, sourced and neutral, Earwig detects no copyvio issues other than long names and quoted passages, the hook is interesting. I am awaiting the QPQ as mentioned by the nominator. Ivanvector I want to clarify with you the value of "4,000 years" mentioned in the hook. I see a value of 3000 years as mentioned by "suggest the possible presence of a drowned site dating within the Woodland Period (which spans from about 3000 years ago to the recent historic period)." but I'm not sure whether the "to the recent historic period" is inclusive of an additional thousand years or not, I am not familiar with the terminology enough to make my own determination.

    @Narutolovehinata5: thanks, I was not aware of that.

Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ornithoptera: the source for 4,000 years is "First Look at the Proposed Pituamkek National Park Reserve" in National Parks Explorer, reference #6 in the article, which reads "These shores and forests have been home to the Mi’kmaq people for more than 4,000 years [...] ." I've added an additional inline citation. I interpreted "the recent historic period" as meaning the time period right up to European contact and the Acadian expulsion in the 18th century, and the section you're referring to I believe describes the estimated age of that particular drowned site or to the Pitawelkek site described in the source, not to the whole island chain. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:07, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To clarify the rule, it just means that a QPQ should have been provided at the time of making the nomination, if it is a review that was done previously. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:03, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for getting back to me with the QPQ. I can verify that the new source for 4000 years explicitly mentions the date mentioned in the hook. For future reference, it might be ideal to not assume "the recent historic period" based on what you might assume, rather, finding a source that can attest to it within a relevant source is the safest way to go. The phrase can be interpreted in a variety of ways and would not serve as a strong source for this context. Thank you for your time Ivanvector, wonderful work on the article regardless.

CMD (talk) 08:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi CMD, I chose the quote above as it tells the story in one easy citable passage. I think Haggard is just making clear his source; other publications I have cited in the article state it more directly. Eg: "Hugh Bunel, who was exiled from Normandy after hacking off the head of Mabel of Bellême as she lay in bed, lived for twenty years among the Saracens, studying their customs and language: as a result he was able to offer useful services to the armies of the First Crusade." from: Fletcher, Richard A.

    • Long enough. New enough. Inline citations throughout. Eight of the 15 sources are behind Proquest, so AGF here. Other sources do check out. Generally well written; I did make a few minor copy-edits. Copyright "violation unlikely" (9.1% similarity) per Earwig. Both hooks are cited. I find ALT1 more interesting; plus, it references directly to the very Stradivarius cello once owned by the man. GTG for ALT1.

    • This is new enough and long enough. QPQ done. Some copyediting is needed to reduce close paraphrasing from the most-used source. I also think a new hook is needed. The hook suggests the selective collection is universal, while the article states this is only for the Orang Asli of Negeri Sembilan. If a fact is to be made about a group or groups of Orang Asli, I am unsure why the Malay name would be used in the hook. Lastly, the linked kenduri article suggests that the practice is Javanese, which is quite removed from Negeri Sembilan Orang Asli. CMD (talk) 08:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi Chipmunkdavis! Thank you for taking the time to read through the article, I will try my best to address your concerns and see what we can do to resolve your concerns:
    1. "Some copyediting is needed" I will work to resolve this in a few, I will reply to this once completed. It should be resolved now.
    2. "Orang Asli of Negeri Sembilan." I will propose an updated hook, or workshop an ALT1 to address this concern if that could help.
    3. "I am unsure why the Malay name would be used in the hook." Tan and Lee identify the language as Malay, and the Orang Asli communities presumably used Malay when communicating with Yoke Mui Chan. I can also just refer to J. lanceolata as the "slender joey", but the vagueness of chica could be hook-ier.
    4. "the linked kenduri article suggests that the practice is Javanese" Kenduri is in fact not exclusively Javanese, it is practiced in Malaysia as well. Per Britannica: "important life events ... are usually celebrated by a feast, known in Malay as kenduri ... In rural areas the kenduri is normally held at the house of the host family." I'm assuming that the original author of the Wiki article was or is more familiar with the practice in an Indonesian context but both countries have kenduri, and Saw and Chan explicitly identify the practice as kenduri.
    Hope this can address all the bases outlined by your concerns. Thank you for your time! Ornithoptera (talk) 23:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Examples that are too close text-wise:
    • "Compared to related species, the leaves of the Slender Joey are narrower"/"Compared to other species in the same genus, the leaves of this species are narrower"
    • "The leaves of the palm were used by local Indigenous peoples for roof thatching"/"The leaves of this palm are used by the local indigenous people for making roof thatch"
    More broadly, the Description section has copied the structure of the source, each sentence mirroring the source's sentence placement.
    To clarify, I don't object to the Malay name per se, it's just that when reading about an Orang Asli tradition I would expect to see nouns from their indigenous language. However, you make a good point that they are likely to have communicated with others in Malay.
    Would you be able to make a very small edit to kenduri based on your knowledge, so that its use in the hook will make sense to readers? Then we could also specify that the hook refers to the Orang Asli of Negeri Sembilan and the hook concept will work. CMD (talk) 03:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Chipmunkdavis, I have taken the time to adjust the article accordingly. In addition, I have adjusted the kenduri article per your request. I don't know whether you have read the table or not, but the names provided are presumably the ones the Orang Asli communities do use. On an informal basis, the Orang Asli communities of Negeri Sembilan presumably speak a similar language to Standard Malay (they're quite closely related, so there is an assumption of mutual intelligibility). There isn't much information on Ulu Kelaka in English language sources, nor is there much information regarding the Orang Asli communities there but I would have tried to provide further information on the matter. In terms of the name, I would have to reasonably assume the name is the same in both languages and would not be different in the local language as recorded. I highly doubt this is a matter of a separate Malay name being prioritized over an unknown Indigenous name, it is simply a matter that the language identified is Malay and that it is also the name that the communities use. Regardless, I will propose the following ALT hook per your request:
    Good to go per further editing and explanation. CMD (talk) 02:02, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article is new enough and long enough, no QPQ is needed. The article seems mostly sourced to the primary source, but having a quick search I am satisfied the subject has further coverage. While the source given in this nomination is non-English and without a page number, the hook is sourced in the article to the primary source which does support it. The article would be improved by the use of page numbers for sources. I am unsure about the image copyright, I do not think it can be own work as it is a photograph of an artwork. CMD (talk) 09:25, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Chipmunkdavis:, Thank you for reviewing my first DYK submission. The 'ancient-buddhist-texts' English source is a primary source, but I added it mainly for clarity and better understanding in English. The article is fully supported by the Burmese source, and even without the 'ancient-buddhist-texts' reference, it remains comprehensive. The Burmese source, Kutha Zatdaw (PDF), Myanmar Alin (in Burmese), 16 June 2005, p. 10, is sufficient to cover the entire article. An article from the Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science is also an additional reference that can be used to verify the entire content of the article. If you're unable to verify the Burmese source, please feel free to seek assistance from other Burmese-speaking editors. And I added more English source and page numbers.
    Regarding the image, the Buddhist temple artwork is not copyrighted, which is a common case in Myanmar. Buddhist Jataka tales are often depicted in many temples and monasteries across Myanmar. For instance, File:071 The Defeat of Alavaka (9022063790).jpg is an example. In Myanmar and Thailand, temple arts of Buddha cosmology are generally not subject to copyright. Thanks! Hteiktinhein (talk) 20:06, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No problem, it is an interesting article. On the sources, there is no specific issue with non-English sources (although the English backup is appreciated), but as a general point I would suggest including page numbers next to specific claims for all languages. Would you have a link for more information about that copyright situation? CMD (talk) 14:53, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As I’m not an expert on copyright, I’m not sure how to explain it very well. I do know that Myanmar is not a freedom of panorama country, but the Aung Myin Dipa Temple in Patheingyi was established around 1880 by Min Dipa, a minister and court official in King Thibaw's court. The paintings in the temple seem old, but there is no indication of the year they were made or the owner’s name. So, they could be considered under the PD-Myanmar license. However, I don’t want to delay or cause any arguments, so it’s fine to promote my DYK without the photo. I’m withdrawing the photo for now. Pls kindly review. Thanks!

    QPQ: No - One QPQ has been done, but this nomination needs three QPQs. It's a little confusing, given that this nomination page claims that only one QPQ is needed, but WP:QPQ says that "Where a nomination offers more than one new or expanded article, an article-for-article quid pro quo (QPQ) is required for each nominated article. As soon as a new nominator's hook includes articles beyond their fifth nomination of an article for DYK, each of those requires a separate QPQ review." Since you have six DYK credits, you need two more QPQs - one for each of the three articles.
    Overall: @Tenpop421: Nice work on these articles. This nomination actually needs two more QPQs (this nomination page claims that you are required to give 1 QPQ, but that is an error and doesn't match what WP:QPQ says).

    • New enough (draft), long enough, no QPQ needed. A couple of paragraphs lack citations, although they read as if they might simply use a duplicate of other existing citations. Earwig gives a high value, but this seems to be mostly quotations. If there is another way to word "converted the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction" that may be useful, but if not, I have not found copyvio. The hook seems interesting from a common law perspective, but I am concerned the language does not easily track the article which may make it difficult for readers to find. For example, "freeze" does not appear in the article, neither does "Lord Chancellor". I do think it is in the sources given here, although I cannot access the source in the article. This should be a simple fix, either with tweaks to the article or the hook. CMD (talk) 10:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @Chipmunkdavis:
      1. Added references for those few paragraphs I forgot to cite.
      2. To make it easier to find the support for the hook, I have rephrased the intro a bit, duplicated a footnote there from the body (optional per MOS:LEADCITE), and added non-paywalled sources for it. Additionally:
        • I have changed a "frozen" into "freeze" for sake of CTRL+F. (There were already 8 instances of "freezing".)
        • Likewise I have added "Lord Chancellor" to the lead, though "the Chancellor" and "the pre-Revolutionary Chancellor" appear in the article and refer to that. I used "Lord Chancellor" in the hook rather than "Court of Chancery" (the former court of the Lord Chancellor) mainly since it sounds more interesting (and is accurate), but I would be fine with instead using "Court of Chancery" in the hook.
        • Re: "although I cannot access the source", if you log in to the Wikipedia: Library, then you should be able to access that paywalled sources via HeinOnline at Maloy, "Expansive Equity Jurisprudence: A Court Divided" (and likewise the other paywalled source at Haines, "The Conservative Assault on Federal Equity").
      3. While I have now very slightly changed the wording, "converted the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction" (Google) is not original to the case, and the exact phrase is used by the Supreme Court, the court of appeals, and multiple sources (Burbank, Grenig)—in each instance without quotation.

    • Claiming this for review and hoping to finish the full review soon. For now I'll just note that the first hook is probably the best option here. It's mentioned in the article and properly referenced. I couldn't find where in the Chinese source the part about her using her own clothes is mentioned, but the English source confirmed it so there's that. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hi Narutolovehinata5. First of all, I am confused, as I believed User:MaranoFan had approved this nomination yesterday, and your statement does not imply a denouncement of their review. So I am unsure why Marano's review was overridden. As for the Chinese source, it is actually written in Cantonese. It writes "'First of all, I would like to thank Sandra Ng for providing many of her own beautiful clothes. In fact, we are the real scam syndicate, as we first asked Ng to play this role but couldn’t advance her payment. Then we "made" Ng into lending us her costumes, and even she joked, "are you guys really that poor?"' Ho Miu Ki expressed gratitude for Ng's professionalism and kindness to help the production crew saving a significant amount on wardrobe expenses. (首先要多謝君如提供許多私伙靚衫。其實我們才是真正的詐騙集團,首先請君如演這個角色,但又未能預支片酬;然後再『氹』君如借出服裝,連她也笑言『你哋係咪真係咁窮呀!』」何妙祺感謝吳君如的專業與不計較,願意為劇組節省大量服飾上的開銷。) It does not mention Ng wearing her clothes, as it was cited to support the first part of the sentence about her "[lending] her own wardrobe to the costume crew" and "to help to save money". It is unrelated to the hook, which is why I did not include that source in this nomination. But as you mentioned, the English source has already checked out the hook, so I am still uncertain about what the problem is here. —Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 15:50, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • This is a new and substantial article, that has no copyvio problems, and is well sourced. The main source for the article, and the hook, is a book (not digital) so AGF for this. Hook ALT0 is effective: it is short, and surprising, and is stated in the opening lede of the article. ALT1 is less immediately easy to understand without a bit more context. Good to go!

In all the pages of Sahagún that deal with Aztec cuisine and with chocolate, there is not a hint that it ever entered into an Aztec dish. Yet today many food writers and gourmets consider one particular dish, the famous pavo in mole poblano, which contains chocolate, to represent the pinnacle of the Mexican cooking tradition." - Coe and Coe: The True History of Chocolate

    Not a review for a moment: Hi @Rollinginhisgrave:! Before I review this, could you please revise the sources? They appear a bit messy in visual (no offense intended). I suggest organizing them by listing the article title or the publisher's name (e.g: Sources: British GQ) Also, the source on ALT 0 and ALT 1 haven't sources or link, could you provide the source? Thanks! Royiswariii (talk) 14:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Is it okay if I don't? Sorry, I'm using Template:sfnp, so the inline sources are arranged by Author, Year, Page/Section (if applicable). So I think it makes sense that the sources would follow the format of author and then date. And I did put the authors in alphabetical order. It's also the natural way they are generated using template:cite journal, template:cite book and template:cite web. Hope this is okay.
    The sources for ALT0 and ALT1 are for a third edition of a book which is unfortunately offline. For that content, they are the same as the first edition, so I can put links to that? Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 14:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • New enough (moved draft), long enough. No copyvio from spotcheck of the first 3 sources. Very nice work with the newspapers. On prose, just a double check on whether we should be writing "Europe and the Orient", it feels outdated. Perhaps it should be in quotes, as I am unsure modern readers will understand what "the Orient" means. In Career, I am unclear how she joined a company in 1928 if she had already travelled with them in 1927.
      For the hook, I am unsure where "ancient" comes from, it is not in the sources. I would also suggest wording it as "royalty in Calcutta", as I'm not sure Calcutta itself had specific royalty. Otherwise, it is interesting and sourced. CMD (talk) 13:48, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Hi, Chipmunkdavis! I've fixed usage of "the Orient", per your suggestion. I only used the term because the papers in question did without technically defining what area that referred to. I've fixed the year discrepancy. I've changed the hook to "in".
    As for ancient, I would love for alternative suggestions on that one. I included it for a particular reason. If it just says "classical dance", then people are going to assume that means ballet or ballroom dances, when that is absolutely not the type of dances being referred to. The dances she used were things like ancient Assyrian and Egyptian dances. However, the sources on her dancing before the Calcutta royalty didn't specify which dance types she used in that case, so I wasn't comfortable automatically including either of those two cultural names. SilverserenC 21:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Interesting that the sources all seem to use classical dance, perhaps its meaning has shifted. After a quick look around, would something like "folk" or "traditional" work? The royalty wording should be tweaked in the article as well. CMD (talk) 00:56, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I suppose traditional classical dances will work. I've made the change in the hook above and fixed the royalty sentences in the article. SilverserenC 01:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We are good to go, in the hopes of one day getting a Wikipedia article on this meaning of classical dance. CMD (talk) 01:29, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This is a new article, with no copyvio problems. Referencing is appropriate. QPQ is not required. It is of appropriate length, is interesting and certainly merits a DYK. I have one issue, which is that both the hook and the opening lede of the article are quite technical, rather than accessible. In the opening of the article, it mentions 'AGN'; this might be better written out in full, as it is a niche abbreviation. In the next paragraph, for example, what is a Seyfert nucleus? Also shouldn't reference 4 also be linked in the top paragraph (this is the paper, on which the press release is based?)

    Can I suggest a very light copy-edit to the article to make it more accessible?

    Second point, on the hook. How about a small tweak for readability:

    Chaiten1 (talk) 08:09, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Chaiten1 I've edited to write out active galactic nucleus (AGN) in full and used reference four in the opening paragraph as per your suggestions. I'm not sure about rewording "Seyfert nucleus" though without adding quite a bit of unnecessary content. If people read the type 2 Seyferts link I think they should get the idea. As per your alternate hook, I kinda like my one a bit more because it starts of a bit mysterious but I'm open to yours. Please let me know if you think rewording "Seyfert nucleus" is absolutely necessary. TarnishedPathtalk 09:21, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @TarnishedPath Thank you for the prompt edits; very happy with these and, as you say, you already link to type 2 Seyferts so nothing else is needed there. For the hook - I guess it comes down to preference. Without wanting to hold things up can we see if another editor has a prreference? Perhaps Bremps, as they already engaged with the article? Chaiten1 (talk) 10:03, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I’m no astronomer, so take this with a grain of salt. But if we estimate the black holes to collide within 10,000 years or so based on information that took light speed to reach us, would the black holes not have already collided a billion years ago? If so, I think the hook might need to be altered for accuracy. The article says the galaxies are a billion light years away. Bremps... 17:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Bremps, part of the problem with rewording to take into account the distance is that a light-year is a unit of distance, not a unit of time. So saying that they collided approximately 1.06 billion light years ago would be a technically incorrect usage of terms. However it could be potentially reworded like:
    or
    The hooks are slightly more clunky but I think they address your comment. What do you think?
    @Chaiten1 thoughts? TarnishedPathtalk 05:28, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your continued work on this! I think the billon year part makes the hook more intriguing; the 'were colliding' is a nice touch. My preferences is for ALT3. Happy to sign this off for the next step.Chaiten1 (talk) 08:03, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Approve hook and image Article was made yesterday, so is new enough. At around 5000 characters, it is long enough. The article reads neutrally and properly uses in-line citations. Due to non-English sources, the copyvio detector isn't all that useful, but some spot checks I made look good. The hook is interesting, short enough, and cited in-line. The sources for the hook check out after translating. The image used is in the public domain and works fine as a small image. The QPQ has been done. Everything looks good to go! (One concern I have is whether someone will object to the image of the paper just because of its content, but I guess we'll deal with that if it happens).
