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: Symbol confirmed.svg Symbol voting keep.svg.
  2. Check to make sure basic review requirements were completed.
    • Any outstanding issue following Symbol confirmed.svg Symbol voting keep.svg 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.

  • Symbol question.svg @Thriley: New enough and barely long enough at 1540 characters, but it reads shorter than it is because of all the choppy sentences. The TV show is legitimately interesting as a hook and checks out. Have you tried using Newspapers.com? It's now in the WP:TWL bundle for qualified editors. It has good paper density in New Jersey, and I'm finding articles like the one I've cited here.[1] I also clipped the newspapers.com version of a paywalled North Jersey Media Group article. I'd just like to see the article be less choppy and a bit richer before approving. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:49, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Thriley: I concur with Sammi Brie about the choppiness: perhaps the prose can be improved so that it is not so perfunctory. I did a copyedit of the early life section. I will promote and hope that work continues on the prose. Perhaps a career section? and adding years to his teaching career? We have WP:DYKSG#D7 to consider.

How about a version of one of these, Onegreatjoke? (I think there's something in ALT3, but it might need tweaking.)

  • ALT3: ... that in 1966 one of the Hawks (later known as the Band) played on "Obviously 5 Believers", which was later the name of a band (later known as the Hawks) who played on Obviously 5 Believers (2021)?

From Heylin (2021), as it's an offline source: "Dylan rejoined the Hawks [in New York]... [for the next set of sessions in Nashville] he co-opted Robertson" (p.392) BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:15, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@BennyOnTheLoose: hmm, but what about the band changing its name to 'the Band'? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 20:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Theleekycauldron: That's in the Guardian source which I had added: "the Hawks outgrew their leader. They hooked up with Bob Dylan in the mid-60s and by the end of the decade were superstars on their own who had renamed themselves the Band." Sorry this is a bit convoluted; the Heylin quote was intended to confirm that Robertson joined Dylan for the Nashville recordings (as actually the other Hawks didn't). 21:29, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Green tickY
  • Interesting: Red XN - n
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Symbol possible vote.svg Hook as written doesn't really say anything and the wording is confusing. Did Redick and McNamara physically bump him? Why is it interesting that Suder was passed in the record books? I made some direct edits to the article and added ALT1 hook as an option for a more descriptive hook. Would also improve the inline citing of your sourcing in the article. -— Preceding unsigned comment added by Longhornsg (talk • contribs) 03:17, March 21, 2023 (UTC) --TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:08, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Personally I do not see the significance of mentioning JJ Redick and the others in the hook. Would it not be enough to say something like "at one point, Rick Suder was..."? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:23, 21 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • My point is that Suder is less known than the other two people I mentioned, so it is sort of a big deal that it took a couple of much more famous people to bump him from the list.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:02, 30 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That would probably not pass WP:DYKSG#C2, or at least the spirit of it. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:29, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't really understand your point, which I think is suppose to be guiding the structure of my hook presentation.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:45, 6 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't think any of the proposed hooks are going to seem significant to readers unfamiliar with basketball and who don't know who JJ Redick is. That was the point I was making. If anything, their mention distracts from the main point and makes the hooks less accessible to general audiences (remember that we write even for audiences who aren't into basketball). It might be better to just leave their mentions out and just focus on the Top 25 thing without other names. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:21, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
JJ Redick is a surefire National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame for people who follow the sport. I.e., most people who know basketball, know him and would be intrigued by Suder's link to Redick. However, the mention of his name is not likely to detract attention from the hook of those who don't know the sport. I have presented an ALT3 and object to its use because it seems ridiculous to anonymize Redicks identity.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:19, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Order of Excellence for Women, Order of Righteous Son of Sudan

( Review or comment )

Created by FuzzyMagma (talk). Self-nominated at 21:22, 21 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Order of Excellence for Women; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply[reply]

  • This is a two-article hook.
    • Order of Excellence for Women: Created on March 16, nominated in time. Article is below 1500 characters of prose. I could include the descriptions in the tables as prose, which would put it over 1500, but it is unsourced.
    • Order of Righteous Son of Sudan: Created on March 16, nominated in time. This article is long enough and sourced. The first paragraph in "Insignia" is unsourced, though.
  • Symbol possible vote.svg Hook fact is interesting enough. One QPQ is presented, but a two-article hook requires 2 QPQ. Please expand and source the women's article, source that part of the men's article, and provide a second QPQ review. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:10, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Muboshgu: added a 2nd QPQ. as for sourcing the description of the badge or the insignia of both Orders, I thought I did not need a reference similar to the plot of a movie or the synopsis of book as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film#Plot WP:NONFICTION, as the it included in the thing itslef, i.e., the picture of the badge. Hope I am not wrong to assume that FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:40, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Even if we assume that it doesn't need to be sourced along a film plot, the film plot doesn't count to the character count of the article (I believe) and those descriptions shouldn't count to the character count of this article, making it too short. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:36, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Muboshgu: would you mind citing the policy as I could not find it in the DYK rules at Wikipedia:Did you know FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:11, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Muboshgu and FuzzyMagma: To clarify things, it is at WP:DYKSG that states that plot summaries are exempted from the "needs a reference" requirement. As far as I am aware, there is no rule that plot summaries do not count towards the length requirement. I think you're confusing things here: if the summaries are in tables or templates, then yet they are excluded as they don't count as prose, but Plot section do count as prose and thus are counted in article lengths. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:27, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@FuzzyMagma: Re-ping due to typo in my original ping. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:28, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for that clarification. I did confuse it. Content in the table does not count to the character count, and so the women's article is too short. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:58, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Muboshgu: it does not count because you are using the script (which excludes tables and itemised prose) not because it does not fulfils the rules of length or any other rules. I can surely take the text outside of the box but it aesthetically does not look right. If you disagree, please then cite the policy that says prose inside tables are to be excluded FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:29, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Symbol voting keep.svg After re-reviewing DYKSG, I don't see what I thought was there. If this comes up as an issue when it's time to promote this hook into the prep area, we'll talk about it more then. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:08, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@BorgQueen: issues with refs fixed. Other issues with inline citation were already discussed here FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:36, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@FuzzyMagma: BTW the edit you reverted was to format dates. Nothing to do with citations. BorgQueen (talk) 09:47, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@BorgQueen: I undid my undo immediately once I realised my mistake. Sorry FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@RoySmith and BorgQueen: the hook can change to Khaki green which is a variant, it’s an army fatigues descriptor. The whole idea of the hook is to highlight the using of military colours for men and what is culturally perceived as feminine colour to women, although both recipients are civilians
The broken link can be found in c:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Sudan#Government works
Anyway, I generally hate to push back if experienced editors are not comfortable with the situation. So! if the hook was declined does that mean I can use the two QPQ somewhere else? 14:29, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg I'm marking this as rejected. It's not a matter of "we can call it Khaki green". You're looking at the color and making a judgement call as to what the color name is. There should be a WP:RS which says what it is. But, deeper than that, you're looking at the two awards and making a judgement call about the meaning behind why they made each award the color it is. That's WP:OR and/or WP:POV. As for the QPQ issue, I don't know where the rule is written, but I'm pretty sure QPQs from failed noms are not transferable. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:34, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
deeper than that, you're looking at the two awards and making a judgement call about the meaning behind why they made each award the color it is. what are you taking about! it’s good to be open minded but just keep it inside while doing that. It similar to the sky is blue; are you not familiar with the region we are talking about? Are pretend like this is open to interpretation! What are you talking about!. And this not here or there. It’s a green Khaki unless you are color blind and I want to go forward with this nomination unless you have a a clear reason.
You changed your reasons three times already! Do you have a problem with nomination from these regions? Or you just making up reasons to block this
1st you said not mentioned in the text, then shifted to citation, then the color is not Khaki enough for your and now accusing me of things that does not relate to fact!
Unlike you, I’m from the country and well versed with culture to make that judgement; and even if you don’t like my anecdote then stick to the facts and do your review professionally and don’t just make up things as you ago
I tried to be considered and respectfully but you clearly saw it as something else. What a stupid argument to block a nomination, go any find a new one as this one is not supported any of the policies you have cited!
plus you can reject the hook (if you outlined a problem with it) not the nomination, unless there is a a issue with the article. I can propose hooks until the cow comes and you can reject them but you can’t reject the nomination.

@FuzzyMagma: Unlike you, I’m from the country and well versed with culture to make that judgement; and even if you don’t like my anecdote then stick to the facts and do your review professionally and don’t just make up things as you ago. Unfortunately, I have to agree with RoySmith here. Even if you are from the country or location a subject is from, using your own opinions as a source for information in an article counts as original research and thus is not allowed. WP:BLUE is not literally about colors, but rather the idea that obvious facts do not necessarily need a source. For what it's worth however, there is disagreement about what colors count and do not count as khaki, so it would be better to have a source and be safe than sorry. This isn't an anti-Sudan bias or an anti-Africa bias, it's a Wikipedia policy and would apply regardless of what country the subject was from. Even if the subject was from the United States and talked about a US subject, original research would still not be accepted even if the article contributor is from the US and can vouch for its authenticity or reliability.

@Narutolovehinata5: I will reply in points to make my argument more coherent
  • is the sky actually blue? That question might seem pedantic but this what we are discussing here. What is different between green and Khaki green? I did some colour analysis and the ribbon colour is not green. You can do the same. Open the image in Microsoft paint and let paint detect the colour and then compare it to green. It’s not green. But when you say the sky is blue do you do colour analysis to confirm this or you go by perception which has an element of bias. Saying Khaki green or green is both correct and factual but more correct is Khaki green considering the colour that was detected by Microsoft paint. I hope you can sense why I consider latching to my anecdote as the reason for a rejection was as stupid as saying “is the sky actually blue?”. But regardless, it’s Khaki green more than green (as a fact, at least for the picture light setting), and I don’t think I need a reference for what included in the work similar to WP:NONFICTION
  • My argument bias is for moving the goalpost and changing why the nomination was declined 3 times with 3 different reasons that was changed everytime it was challenged. So it need to be addressed within that context. And there is no policy against challenging such a behaviour and question the root of it, wether it’s implicit or explicit bias as I did not see any1 being rejected over Color vision.
  • I can still propose alternative hooks but I want to get to why the current one is being rejected FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:27, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Your argument still does not change the fact that you declaring if it is khaki or not still counts as WP:OR. Indeed, doing color analysis by yourself would be a prime example of OR. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:31, 4 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Computer monitors are notorious for having poor color rendition. People who actually care about color (artists, printers, professional photographers) use special tools to calibrate their monitors and the room lighting the monitor is being viewed under. If you're not doing that, then you're just guessing. This is why color matching systems like Pantone exist. If you go to a printer and say, "I want green", they'll look at you funny. If you say, "I want Pantone 15-0343", they'll know exactly what you mean. Also, different people perceive the same colors differently. The dress describes a classic example of this. I'm not an expert at military decorations, but I'd be astounded if there wasn't somewhere an official description of what the award looks like, including what color ribbons are used. That's what you should be using as a source for the colors.
I don’t think I agree with you as your definition of WP:OR can include paraphrasing. As for the 2nd reply, is that how you find out it’s green? Glad you settled on this reason. Anyway, it’s a dead end to continue arguing so below is an alternative hook

Lorenzo Carfora

  • ... that in April 2023, Lorenzo Carfora became the first footballer born in 2006 to start a match in an Italian professional league? Source: Translated and re-adapted from Italian: "Carfora is the youngest of all [these players], so much that he made his debut a month ago against Südtirol, having just turned 17! And in the latest league round, head coach [Roberto] Stellone played him from the start [against] Bari, allowing him to become the first player born in 2006 in Italy to make it to the starting XI."
    • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/John Green
    • Comment: I think it's notable enough, since the player has even "beaten" the better-known Simone Pafundi by achieving this feat. I must point out, though, that every single source I've used to justify this statement contains a slight error: they all state that Carfora is the first 2006-born player to start "in Italy", but he's rather the first one to do so in one of our three full-time professional leagues. In fact, it's very likely that other people already managed to do the same before him in the semi-professional tiers of the pyramid... On a side note, my QPQ review is not closed yet, but I hope we'll get it done soon.

New enough, long enough. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done. There's one unsourced section at the start of the International career section but that can quite easily be merged with the following sentence.

@Launchballer: Whoops, sorry for reading your reply just now... I've made a few more edits to the article, accordingly: thank you for your suggestions. You're right about that dubious statement, as well: the thing is, I couldn't check if Carfora was indeed the first of his class to make a start in all Italian leagues without the risk of original research (I'm quite convinced someone had achieved the same feat before him in the semi-pro tiers, though). Plus, many Italian media have the bad habit of not linking their sources, so the citations I used couldn't help me on that front, either. Anyway, that's perfectly fine.
I like the new hook, but in my opinion, it might be more interesting to address that he's the first 2006-born player to feature in a Serie B match, as I reported on the article. What do you think about it? Oltrepier (talk) 08:15, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • The image is not of the article's subject, nor mentioned in or relevant to the hook, and so I think this needs to be a non-image hook.
  • The section of prose in the article about a collaborator needs citing.
  • The hook is cited, but I am unsure that the source referred to is a WP:RS; I am open to persuasion. The source it is cited to does not cover most of what is in the text cited, ie, neither the quote nor the bit about socio-economic analysis. The source doesn't even name Le Corricolo. Crucially, it does not support "it contains one of the first literary accounts of Neapolitan pizza". It says (my translation) "The first mention of tomato on pizza dates back to ..." - a different thing. And the source does not contain "published in 1843" which you use in the hook.
  • The lead is very short - a single sentence, and seems to serve as the first sentence of the main article rather than be " a summary of its most important contents" which "stand[s] on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic" as required by WP:LEAD.
  • The hook is about Neapolitan pizza, which is not mentioned in the article.
  • It is possible that all of this could be cleared up within the deadline, so I am watchlisting this and notifying the nominator. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:55, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hallo @Gog the Mild: and thanks for reviewing! I'll answer step by step:
  • The title of the book is 'Corricolo' (a dialect word incomprehensible even to an Italian), a kind of Neapolitan tilbury, which was the carriage used by Dumas to visit Naples. On commons there are several prints and photos of the corricolo, and the corresponding category starts with the introduction of Dumas' book, so I think there is some relationship. Perhaps we could write neapolitan Corricolo pictured instead of pictured. We could also change the image to a more Dumasian one (on Commons there are a couple of better ones in this sense, with monk, lazarus, scugnizzi and other passengers, exactly as Dumas describes them);
Within the article the connection is clear. A reader of the hook will be baffled as to why a tilbury is pictured. If you want to propose an ALT with a different image, go for it; remember that the image has to be used in the article.
  • Citation added;
  • Here I am perplexed, because apart from the quotation about being one of the first literary accounts (which is implied by reading the whole article), the text says it all. I quote it here below in Italian.

La pizza è finita perfino nelle pagine di Alexandre Dumas (padre), ne Il Corricolo, una serie di racconti su Napoli del 1843. Attraverso la descrizione della pizza, lo scrittore francese offre una breve analisi socio-economica della città: “La pizza è: All’olio; Al lardo; Alla sugna; Al formaggio; Al pomodoro; Ai pesciolini. È il termometro gastronomico del mercato: aumenta o diminuisce il prezzo secondo il corso degli ingredienti suddetti, secondo l’abbondanza o la carestia dell’annata”.

Are you sure you did not click on another link? In any case, I have added three other links, one of which is the Italian Encyclopaedia (surely an RS) where I have also quoted the sentence referring to the testimonies, the second is an academic paper and the third is a blog, but it is interesting because it photographs the original text. Actually, that of Dumas in the Corricolo is the first literary testimony to the existence of Neapolitan pizza: regarding the year, on some sources you find 1835 (the year of his trip to Italy, on some 1841 (the year of the beginning of the publication of the book), , on others 1843 (the year of the end of the publication of the book)
I'm sure. I was referring to the source you provide in this template. Your additional references in the article resolve this.
  • You are right here, the lead is definitively too short, I have expanded it a bit.
Looks good. As the lead is meant to be a summary of the main article, everything in the lead should also be in the article - usually in greater detail. Could you check that this is the case?
  • Neapolitan pizza is mentioned towards the end of the article, before the quote, and as you can see from the references a not insignificant part of the book's notability comes from being one of the first sources on Neapolitan pizza, so this information is important.
Fair enough.

  • Symbol possible vote.svg @Alessandro57 and Gog the Mild: I have some concerns about close paraphrasing. The following sentence from the article jumped out at me: The book is an extraordinary blend of literature and of real life, allowing the reader to grasp the city in its bustle and history. This corresponds to the following passage from the source: Le Corricolo, extraordinaire mélange de littérature et de vécu, permet de saisir Naples dans son bouillonnement et son histoire. Google translation: "Le Corricolo, an extraordinary mixture of literature and experience, allows us to grasp Naples in its ferment and its history." Checking further, I found more similarities between the article and the above-linked source, eg. Dumas only stayed in the city for three weeks, but this time was enough for him to capture the essence of the city (compare Dumas ne reste donc que trois semaines dans la ville, mais ce temps lui suffit pour saisir l’essence de la cité). Some other passages, eg. the sentence beginning This explains the book's effectiveness... have been reworded enough to avoid close paraphrasing, but clearly offer opinions that should be attributed to the source rather than stated as fact. I haven't checked out the whole article, these are just examples of some of the issues I found. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 09:57, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @Sojourner in the earth and Gog the Mild:, thanks for noticing it! I will check and when necessary paraphrase again the text and notice you when I am finished. Bye, Alex2006 (talk) 11:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    Earwig only detects exact matches, so it doesn't pick up on close paraphrasing at all, let alone from foreign-language sources. I don't believe the changes you made to the passages I mentioned are sufficient; you have replaced some words with synonyms but the sentence structure remains the same. These passages (and others in the article that are too close to the sources) should be completely rewritten in your own words. See WP:CLOP#How to write acceptable content for more advice. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 20:05, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Symbol redirect vote 4.svgIn this case Earwig's usefulness is very limited. Thanks for posting the essay about close paragraphing, now I get it (I hope). However, consider that some statements, such as those on the "sentimental consonance" between Dumas and Naples, are not characteristics of a single source, but are universal. I found them written everywhere, in French and Italian sources, ranging from 1950 to ten years ago. Can you please check again, @Sojourner in the earth:? Thanks! Alex2006 (talk) 09:23, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I appreciate your efforts to resolve this. Let me first address your comment on the "sentimental consonance". The idea that Dumas's personality was similar to that of the people of Naples, and that this contributed to the success of the book, may be stated in numerous sources (I take your word for it), but it is still an opinion, and as such should not be stated in WP-voice as fact. You've already fixed this particular sentence, but there are others like it in the same paragraph, such as This makes Le Corricolo a valuable and still irreplaceable guide to discovering the city. The relevant policy is WP:Subjective. To expand on the example given in that section, the article on William Shakespeare says "He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language", but doesn't say he is the greatest writer in the English language, regardless of how many people hold that opinion.
    Tonal problems can be an unintended consequence of close paraphrasing. Your source is a critical review, but you are writing an encyclopedia article; the information must be organized and presented in a different way. With your latest changes to the article, you've again reworded some sentences, but I still don't believe you're fully understanding the problem. For example, the source says that Dumas's technique of shifting from one genre to another gives the reader the impression that they are boarding the corricolo and travelling alongside Dumas in his journey through Naples. This is not a simple fact that can be restated in different words; it is the creatively-expressed opinion of the author. As long as these two ideas are linked together, i.e. that the shifting of genres creates an immersive experience, you are engaging in close paraphrasing. I don't have the expertise to say whether your latest alteration of that passage takes the text far enough away from the source to be non-problematic from a legal point of view; but the text still expresses a non-neutral opinion which should have in-text attribution.
    To be blunt, I don't believe that extensive close paraphrasing can ever be "fixed" except by erasing the article and starting again. It introduces so many problems, and once you start playing the game of rewriting individual sentences in slightly different ways, you're only covering up those problems, not fixing them. However, other DYKers are more tolerant of this, so I suggest you wait for someone else to come along and conduct a new review. I would like to re-iterate, though, for the benefit of the next reviewer, that I only spot-checked a few sentences, and my first comment in this thread should not be taken as an exhaustive survey of the article's close paraphrasing problems.

  • I have watched lots of other editors come in and make these DYK templates after I've done the work on GA. It is nice to see but I am not sure if I am supposed to comment or if I can even provide any kind of input. I would change a few words to make the DYK comment more accurate:
    ALT2: ... that the video game case Micro Star v. FormGen Inc. affirmed that copyright owners have the exclusive right to make sequels?
    Technically the precedent for this is much older but Micro Star is a more modern case applying it directly to video games. Jorahm (talk) 19:35, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Symbol delete vote.svg The hook is difficult to resist, but I am not satisfied with the sources and the amount of coverage I see. It appears to me that the case has not received enough in-depth coverage in reliable sources, i.e. something more reputable than salon.com, to warrant a standalone article. Furthermore, the tone of the article strikes me as too casual for an encyclopedia. I suggest that we first resolve the question of encyclopedic notability.

  • Comment. While the article survived AFD, it was only "no consensus". And furthermore, this article hook seems to skirt the line of 4a on "articles that focus unduly on negative aspects of living individuals should be avoided" (I presume Mr. Strong is still alive). At least with stuff like "normal" crimes, there's also the victim side, but... meh. It's not really agreeed on how strong "unduly" is, but I'd weakly suggest giving this one a skip on DYK on 4a grounds. SnowFire (talk) 23:01, 14 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    SnowFire, just so we're all clear the only reason I even worked on this article is that it was an appeal AND has been cited in other cases. If this was just a case with a man pooping his pants it would be super unethical to create the article about it, but two appeals later (Strong appealed to the Supreme Court) and some legal citations later I didn't feel that this was inappropriate and that's the only reason I nominated this for DYK. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, just I understand that when we deal with living people we need to be careful and considerate. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 08:06, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I respect that this is a good faith effort, of course. I still feel the article ends up reading somewhat lurid. Like I said, it's a weak objection, but I feel it's still an issue (and an "issue" is not quite the same as "problem", just, not every article that is keepable on Wikipedia is necessarily DYK-certified).
    While we're here - the "legal analysis" section seems to be primary sourced currently. Are there any sources that directly connect the Strakoff case with the Strong case? Both the current citations are before 2010. (I'm not saying delete it, because it does seem to potentially be relevant, but it would be nice to have some other source connect these cases.)

  • Passerby comment (this is not a review, others should still feel free to grab this as a review). Given that there's plenty of sources on this topic and that it's pretty controversial, I'd suggest removing Newsweek as a reference from the article and from any proposed hooks without a truly powerful justification for why any specific Newsweek story is reliable. See WP:NEWSWEEK, that publication has gone downhill since 2013 or so and just makes stuff up these days, and is considered a suspicious-if-not-entirely-deprecated source. While here, I'd check the sources against WP:RSP in general - WP:FORBESCON suggests that using the hook referenced to a Forbes contributor is also not great and should be replaced if possible, unless there's an independent case to be made that the specific author is reliable.

Symbol delete vote.svg Hold up. What is this person's claim to notability as per Wikipedia:Notability (people), let alone Wikipedia:Notability (academics)? Highest academic rank is as an associate professor, the coverage in the press seems to be sparse, and much of the article is based on a summary on her opinions on this and that topic, or mentioning some small organizations she founded and leads. Not one award, not one piece of evidence about her significance in the field(s) she covers, not one single position as editor of a journal or leader of an academic body. Until and unless some of these criteria are shown to apply the bio should not be included on DYK, and should in fact be deleted as promotional cruft. Dahn (talk) 09:06, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Hello Dahn, thanks for adding your point of view. It was her foundation of Gender Centru and her work as a pioneer of gender studies in Moldova that means inclusion here is appropriate. I've added a three further sources, which have expanded the article somewhat. I would encourage you to think holistically about the field of gender studies - this article was written as part of an Women in Red theme (I'll cross-post this discussion here) - since the discipline itself is under-research and under-represented. I see you're a Romanian speaker - so I wonder if you have access to further sources, particularly scholarly reviews, that could help expand the article? Many thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 07:15, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Lajmmoore Yes, please let's not go down the loaded-language path of "thanks for adding your point of view" when I am quoting wikipedia policies. Do go over them and cite me the part that would make Bodrug-Lungu notable for this project: as compared to those criteria, and not some others we invent especially for her, how is she notable? (For instance, is she called a "pioneer of gender studies" by a leading newspaper, or is you calling her that, and asking us to comply with your claim?) Yes, I do speak Romanian, and yes, I have to say she is not notable even at that -- there are no hidden inaccessible sources that make her more notable than she currently seems; not that the burden of proving she is notable would fall on me -- it falls on you, as the author.

  • The "document" (indeed, Biruitorul is correct to call it a press release -- on which see WP:PSTS) says that she created a Masters' course, which is not the same thing as her scholarship being pioneering of anything. Dahn (talk) 17:36, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • You’ve misread my view, and, I believe, WP:NPROF. Both the policy and I take the view that significant contributions are decided by sources, not personal opinions of what kinds of scholarly contributions count. Innisfree987 (talk) 13:34, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Significant contributions are decided by sources independent of the subject, and which refer to scholarship. If they do not refer to scholarship, then it is you inferring the claim that they still should be taken into account. If you want to cite criterion 7 of WP:PROF, you will need to show sources (many, independent, and themselves of importance) explicitly sating why she is significant: "she is the leading expert in the field of" -- that sort of statement. Dahn (talk) 20:42, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Incidentally, "Gender Centru" (a name that somehow manages to be ungrammatical in two languages) is a minuscule NGO, precisely as I mentioned; it has no virtually no coverage in the media, a website that is under construction, and seems mainly a one-person operation by Bodrug-Lungu. This is not an issue of gender bias -- it's an issue of claiming Bodrug-Lungu should have a puff-piece on wikipedia because there supposedly is a gender bias (which she herself makes a profession out of pointing out, incidentally). Dahn (talk) 07:32, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • There is frequently a tendency to try to have articles about academics deleted if they are not about full professors. In this case, whatever Dahn maintains about lack of media coverage, the fact that the UN and the Council of Europe have referred to Bodrug-Lungu and/or to Gender Centru in multiple articles makes her notable. We should therefore proceed with the DYK as planned. (I had no difficulty in finding coverage of Bodrug-Lungu in the Moldovan media [3], [4]).--Ipigott (talk) 11:30, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • But the level of coverage she’s received in the Moldovan media is trivial. In the first source, she is quoted as insisting on a gender quota for the government. In the second, she recites some platitudes. Neither source adds to any claim of notability. Which of her publications has made a scholarly impact? What academic prizes has she received? What discoveries has she made? Or are we reducing our notability standards on a whim?
  • Moving on, simply invoking “the UN” does not exclude those sources from close scrutiny. All this does is attest she once appeared on a panel; surely not all panelists are notable, UN or not. This is a press release, of the type that agency puts out by the dozens.
  • There is still no objective evidence of WP:PROF or any other notability criterion being met. I too object to promotion. — Biruitorul Talk 12:05, 17 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Bruxton (talk) 14:27, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Disagreed. The vocals are objectively processed and unrecognisable and you just have to play the first few seconds of the song to hear them. "The song is good/bad" would be an opinion, this is not. Your proposed hook is not interesting or DYK-worthy so I'll stick with the one already approved by another reviewer.

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Extremely intersting hook. Article and hook all meet criteria. Would say it could also run in a more concise ALT1: ... that meteorological phenomena have recently been observed in exoplanet atmospheres? I only say this because this version might be even more interesting to general readers, but ALT0 is good to go, as is, already. QPQ just needs to be done and then it'll be greenlit.

@Soulbust, thank you for the review; it's great to hear that you enjoyed the hook! Thanks for suggesting an alt hook and image as well. I'll add your suggested hook to the nomination, but I'd still like to include some facts in the hook instead of trimming them all out. How about ALT2: ... that meteorological phenomena, such as wind speeds of 2 km/s (1.2 mi/s) around HD 189733 b (pictured), have recently been observed in exoplanet atmospheres? I guess that one is a tad more concise while still including the interesting fact. As for the picture, I'll add that to the nomination as well, but I need to add it to the article first. For QPQ, this is actually my first nomination for DYK (and one of my first article edits in general); I would still be happy to review another nomination to help out!

@BorgQueen:@Bruxton: Finally was able to cite most of the statements and remove others, but there was one statement that I'm not exactly sure how to cite - the last sentence in the 3rd paragraph. By the definition of exometeorology, an exoplanet needs an atmosphere in the first place to have time-varying conditions in that atmosphere. However, I have not been able to find any studies that state that or contradict that in a peer-reviewed context. Thus, I wanted to ask you Bruxton - why did you add the citation needed tag to that sentence? Was there anything specific you hoped I could find to support that statement? Also, to everyone who reviewed my nomination, thanks for being patient. Is it still eligible for DYK if I can get all the citation needed tags taken care of?

  • ... that Leonard Abrams was the founder of the East Village Eye, an arts and culture magazine which in 1982 is believed to have been the first publication to print a comprehensive definition of hip-hop? Source: "Despite its downtown focus, the Eye also cast a glance uptown and beyond to chronicle the world of hip-hop as it hurtled toward the mainstream. It ran early feature articles about Afrika Bambaataa, Run-DMC and the graffiti artist Fab 5 Freddy.
    Indeed, Mr. Abrams and others associated with the Eye long claimed that it was the first publication to print a comprehensive definition of hip-hop, with a parenthetical in a January 1982 interview with Mr. Bambaataa by the writer Michael Holman that summarized the term as “the all-inclusive tag for the rapping, breaking, graffiti-writing, crew-fashion-wearing street subculture.”"

  • I will take this review:

General eligibility:

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Symbol question.svg Created 9 days before, which is pushing the discretionary envelope a bit (8-10 days are sometimes still possible). There are also some key phrases from the NYT article, leading to an Earwig hit of 30.6%, albeit one of those is from a quote and is appropriate, and two others can be addressed (and the actual similarities are a fraction of the NYT article total). The hook needs some reworking, as right now it could be misread around the 1982. So with a little work, this can be ready, subject to a second opinion and / or an explanation on the delayed submission. SeoR (talk) 14:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • The target article needs to be linked and in bold font. Schwede66 19:20, 3 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Comment. This is not a full review, but there are some issues with the hook. First off, if you're using a YouTube video of non-trivial length, it is respectful of others' time to point out the specific spot to check. Are you citing the comments from 7:55 - 8:30 or so? Because if so, I'd argue the hook is somewhat misrepresenting what Warriner said there. He said it was one of his proudest achievements, yes, but he clarifies that it was because it was essentially a duo project. Shorn of context in the hook, however, one would presume that his pride is due to it being one of his best creations, rather than "much done with few people." This changes the tone. And more generally... I'm not sold the hook suggestion is all that interesting anyway. "Did you know a programmer who worked hard says their own work is great" isn't really very unique or interesting, it's basically expected that they'll like their own works. (Not to mention that "one of" really defangs the impact - Warriner seems like a cool guy, but he's not THAT famous, and this is an off-the-cuff remark. Lots of works can be "one of" the best.) Any other hook ideas? SnowFire (talk) 00:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    All great points. I'll ponder on a more interesting hook. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:21, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @SnowFire: Is this better? - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:53, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    It is better, but maybe more alts would still be good. I don't think you need the "The" capitalized and part of the link. I'd also question the relevance of "mad suggestion" referenced to a press release - it's a little promotional and also still uninteresting (what was so mad about it? To a general audience, that is. I presume the answer is really "the GBA was considered underpowered" for this, but I doubt many main page viewers would catch on.). And is "designers" really the best word? I'd suggest something more like this, at least if keeping the same basic fact:
  • ALT1 ... that development of the Game Boy Advance version of Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars was largely made by just two people?Source: https://www.eurogamer.net/article-30537 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh_uECxlC9M (starting at 7:55)
    This might be still considered too uninteresting, though. I'll defer this to the DYK reviewer, just throwing an idea out there. SnowFire (talk) 17:26, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Hmm, I dunno... maybe I should just withdraw the nomination. It's a game that's practically most well-known for its quaintness, which itself doesn't lend itself to having an interesting DYK aspect. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:48, 20 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Speaking as a non-reviewer, I did find it interesting that a largely two-person team ported a game to the GBA (small indie team-sized teams weren't so common back then), but maybe it's just because I have an interest in video games, so I'm probably not the most impartial person to give an opinion.

Both as "MLB" and "Major League Baseball", this is under the 200 character hook limit. "Fletcher and his wife, Kierra, married in January 2019 and reside in Orange County, California." The wife's name should be removed per WP:BLPNAME. Fletcher is acclaimed by fans and baseball media alike for his defensive abilities in the middle infield. this requires more than one citation to prove "baseball media alike" and the word "fans" isn't in the cited article at all. Thus, NPOV violation. Article has sufficient inline citations. No image in hook so OK there. QPQ done. Hook is interesting to a broad audience once MLB is changed to "Major League Baseball". Similar to Angels Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, that's nowhere in the citation. Hook is neutral and doesn't focus unduly on negative aspects of living people. First source to ESPN is a dead link and needs to be re-cited. Thus, the hook isn't cited in the article at current. Free from close paraphrasing, as copying entity copied us.

(English: In 1910, he established a private clinic and gynecologists' hospital where poor women were treated free of charge; link to the reference).

  • Symbol question.svg While the article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been provided, the hook as currently written is rather bland and requires specialist knowledge to really get it. If I were you, I'd probably focus more on the Metropolitan Opera angle as that's one that's more well-known and probably more familiar among non-specialists, as basically saying "performer did his job at a particular festival" isn't really something that would interest someone who already isn't interested in the topic. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:05, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I am sorry but don't understand. The Met is the destination of the hook, no? We can add a year to the Met performance, and can add that it was a live broadcast. Any world premiere is noteworthy, I think, even if you don't know Glyndebourne, but for others it's one of the most notable opera festivals, which was mentioned in hooks before (Liselotte Hammes for example, Marina de Gabaráin for another, - the greatest singers appear there, many having made their career from there). Gabaráin's lead (article not by me) says: "Marina de Gabaráin ... was a Spanish mezzo-soprano. Her international career began at Glyndebourne in 1952, where she appeared in Rossini's La Cenerentola as Angelina (Cinderella), which became her signature role."
    Right now we have a hook on the Main page about a singer saying more or less only that she sang well but was fat. Can we for a change inform, about a career beginning in Glyndebourne and leading via Australia to the Met? - If that's too long, we can skip Australia, but I think that it's particularly interesting as the composer is from there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:24, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There's probably an overestimation here about how much broad audiences would understand about such things or find it interesting. It's one of the DYK criterion that a hook needs to be interesting even to those with no specialist knowledge, and as currently written, the hook doesn't meet that. That's not to say that the article can't meet that criterion and like I said I think a hook focused specifically on the Met might solve my concerns. But remember this: we write the hooks for broad audiences, even those who don't care about opera and classical music. We don't write hooks for the nominator.

Every world premiere is a distinct interesting fact, and 2017 is still rather recent news. ... that countertenor Christopher Lowrey took part in the world premiere of Brett Dean's Hamlet? - that would be an acceptable hook. Everything else is extra, and provides context. I find it astonishing, and worth telling the audience also ...
  • ... that this piece by an Australian composer (with a recognizable title) was premiered in England at all
  • ... that it was premiered at the Glyndebourne Festival which to know doesn't hurt
  • ... that this young man made the typical start for a world career, being noticed in Glyndebourne
  • ... that a production travels from Glyndebourne to Australia and the Met (I didn't know that!)
To focus on the Met would be undue weight because there he only performed minor roles. Why not supply e bit of extra information? - Btw, the "fat singer" hook was modified, and I felt understood - which feels good! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:27, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Such a hook is too reliant on specialist information, and we try as much as possible to avoid that. It may appeal to you but it does not appeal to non-opera fans, and Wikipedia isn't the Operapedia. You even admit in the above that he "made the typical start for a world career", which means his circumstances aren't even unusual. What makes him any different from the many other international opera artists that got their big break at Glyndebourne and performed internationally elsewhere? I'm sure Lowrey is a talented man and deserves to reach where he got to be, but this hook appeals to a very small niche, which goes against the DYK criteria. What I mean to say is: it proves his talent, but it doesn't make him atypical from any other person who were noticed at Glyndebourne and performed in a country different from their own. It's no different from a hook about how Carrie Underwood was discovered when she won American Idol and has since performed outside the United States. It shows Underwood is talented, but it doesn't make Underwood different from the many other American singers who have performed outside America.

ALT1: ... that countertenor Christopher Lowrey took part in the world premiere of Brett Dean's Hamlet?
What in my claim that this is an acceptable hook did you not understand? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't think the hook would make much sense to people who don't know Lowrey or Dean. Sure, Hamlet is a recognizable name, but the hook doesn't make it clear how Lowrey being in this particular world premiere is any different from any other actor who was also in said premiere, or how this version of Hamlet is any more special than the many other versions of Hamlet to make Lowrey's participation intriguing by itself. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:11, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I didn't mean the hook to run without context, but it says a lot about the singer:
  • He is a countertenor.
  • He is ready to take part in a new piece.
  • He was ready to leave home.
I will never understand why people would have to know Dean when there is a link. Those interested in new composers can click, and the others can skip the hook anyway. Trying to meet what everybody knows already is for me the exact opposite of "Did you now ...? - expecting a no for an answer, and supplying as much unknown stuff as possible. There's a world of opera to explore beyond the ten composers and 50 operas that "everybody" should know, and for some, even countertenor might be new. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:34, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
To serve the wish to say something about him that is unique:
ALT2: ... that when countertenor Christopher Lowrey appeared at the Oper Frankfurt for the first time, as Medoro in Handel's Orlando in 2023, he was the only guest singer?
If you really like that better I can find a ref. However, a countertenor in contemporary music is much more unusual, did you know? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:48, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I suppose that's a better option. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:03, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I added the ref. The line in question translates to "Medoro is countertenor Christopher Lowrey, house debutant and the only guest in the vocal quintet". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Symbol question.svg Article is new and long enough. Article is neutral, reliably sourced, and only pings on Earwigs for a properly attributed quote. QPQ has been completed. I'm not crazy about the hook; calling the original a "classic" feels a bit puffy, as does "a faithful remake" (according to whom?). I would recommend coming up with alternative hooks, or revising the existing one. Morgan695 (talk) 04:12, 27 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Morgan695, I am open to other ideas, would you have any suggestions for alt hooks? But the sources I am familiar with (cited in the article) are pretty consistent on both counts - they consider 1994's game "classic" and the recent remake quite faithful. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • Piotrus My understanding is that because DYK is being stated in "Wikipedia's voice", any subjective statement needs to be attributed to the person or group of people who made that statement. I think ALT0 can be used if it is revised to reflect that; I'm at a bit of a loss for alternate hooks, since this generally seems to be a pretty unremarkable remake.

Firstly, we go by nomination date and not review date, so even if we wait three weeks, the request cannot be granted without an explicit discussion that gives an IAR exemption.

More of a comment but we usually try not to mention people who don't have Wikipedia articles by name in hooks. The hooks themselves are solid but mentioning Hoagland by name may not be ideal. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:17, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: Thanks, I did not know about that. The NRHP nomination names it as the Hoagland Memorial Presbyterian Church not the current name First Memorial. I found it interesting that he could fund such an impressive building as a memorial.

  • Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, adequately sourced, and a QPQ has been done. The hook is cited inline and I'm assuming good faith on the sourcing. However, I'm not convinced that the hook as currently written is going to be interesting to those who are unfamiliar with computer programming. It says that it was AT&T's first microprocessor, but considering virtually all modern microprocessors can run C now, it's not really a big deal without the additional context of the microprocessor dating to 1977. I do think there might be some more potential in how the processor's assembly language was "deliberately written" to resemble C, but as currently written, the hook seems too specialist.

Symbol question.svg Detailed interesting GA, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Of the hooks, I like the short ALT1 best, however, for formality: the fact needs a (duplicattion of a) citation right after that sentence. The image is licensed, but doesn't show much of his face in stamp size, - I believe that the photograph or the 1938 drawing would serve the purpose to introduce him better. I'd have a lot to say about image placement (don't sandwich text! let people look "in"!) but that is not relevant for DYK, - perhaps look at it anyway ;) - How do you feel about an infobox (... which is also not relevant to DYK, but by now rather the standard)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:22, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • For me the hook is interesting so I will give you a little leeway on the time. So before you started expanding on 23 April I make it a bit under 200 words and when you finished on 6 May almost 900 words so that is fine at more than 5 times expanded.
  • So the Guardian says "Michael also showed that in land-scarce situations, poor farmers managed the land more intensively and more efficiently than richer ones". Was that the quote you wanted to cite? If so we should maybe adjust the hook slightly.

Overall: Symbol question.svg @Launchballer: I see this was deleted in 2018 has been outside of mainspace since that time, and that you expanded the recovered deleted version.

Fair enough. Try this:
ALT1 ... that before Ashley Jade entered the UK Top 40 as a singer, she had played the lead in the BAFTA Award for Best Short Film-winning About a Girl? --Launchballer 19:27, 6 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, I think ALT1 is better, as it at least has something relatable. She only just made it too by the looks of it! The sentence seems a little tongue-twisting towards the end though, so I may suggest perhaps:
ALT2 ... that before Ashley Jade debuted on the UK Singles Chart, she had played the lead in the BAFTA Award-winning short film About a Girl?
As the focus is not necessarily on the fact that it specifically won the short film award, I think we can shuffle it around a little so it flows better? The archive BBC reference supports her involvement in the film and her singles debut is officially recognised too. Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The casual nature of the post is less than ideal and a firmer citation would still be advantageous, but I can't see anything elsewhere that suggests it's wrong, hence it would be preferable to use something firmer, but I don't think for the purposes of this DYK it needs to be mandated.

    • Comment: There are many juicy stories here but I lack the correct front-page reporter skills to exploit them. Help with more exciting hooks very welcome. The Stoney Bowes story is part of the plot of The Luck of Barry Lyndon, famously adapted as Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, but that leads a little bit away from Planta-Stephens. It might be worth saying that Mary Eleanor Bowes was a great-great-(...)-grandmother of King Charles III and the richest heiress in the country in the 1760s.

I also couldn't find this source, not even in the original description. I'm finding some things are considered implicit in these old scientific papers and are just not mentioned.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Red XN - See below.
  • Interesting: Green tickY

QPQ: Red XN - Not done.
Overall: Symbol question.svg Article created on 9 May, and is well beyond the required minimum length. All sources are, as far as I can tell, reliable for the material they are cited for—though I have not been able to access all of them. There are no obvious neutrality issues. Earwig reveals no copyvio and I didn't spot any instances of unacceptably WP:Close paraphrasing. Both hooks are interesting. For ALT0, I don't think we can say it was updated to "be based on" the war, though maybe "resemble" could work. I would have to WP:AGF on ALT1 since I can't access the source. QPQ has not been done. Some comments about the content:

  • Videotext is a disambiguation page.
  • Most of the first paragraph isn't verified by the cited source, which I'm guessing is intentional as it's basically all background information. That being said, to someone unfamiliar with Prestel, this is hardly WP:BLUE. I'll refer to Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines#D2, which says All content, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
  • By 1982, the service had about 18,000 regular users in the UK and about 5,000 more in the United States – the source says "There are 23,000 global subscribers--18,000 of them in England". England/UK distinction aside, was the United States the only other country where it was available? This source suggests otherwise.
  • using an emulator on the Apple II – the source says "Prestel is accessible on any Apple home computer", which would seem to suggest to me that other models were also used.
  • Obliterate! was written by Bill Wadsworth and Gary Zabel in early 1981 – the source says "Obliterate had been on the British data base service Prestel for nearly a year before the Falklands crisis", which I don't think would make it early 1981.
  • selecting a Spanish-sounding name for the enemy ship based on a UK brand of canned meat (itself named for a port city in Uruguay) and the submarine based on their own company – I don't find this in the cited source.
  • The updated version went live on 7 April. – I don't find the date in the cited source.
  • This initial coverage led to other newspapers picking up the story and creating a press frenzy with worldwide front-page coverage. – this seems mostly fair considering the source quotes Zabel as saying "the whole press seemed to seize on the idea and it really blew up out of proportion", but "worldwide front-page coverage" sounds hyperbolical and isn't supported by the source.
  • saying "Prestel is a household name... due to our game!" – I don't find this quote in the cited source.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Red XN - See below.
  • Interesting: Green tickY
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Symbol question.svg Article moved to mainspace on 13 May, and is well beyond the required minimum length. All sources are, as far as I can tell, reliable for the material they are cited for—though I have not been able to access all of them. Earwig reveals no overt copyvio, but there is some WP:Close paraphrasing. There are no obvious neutrality issues. Both hooks are interesting; I prefer ALT0. ALT0 has a problem with "zoologists" (see below); ALT1 I would have to WP:AGF on as I can't access the cited source. This is the nominator's first nomination, so they are QPQ exempt. Some comments about the content:

  • Verifying this gets a bit annoying, as some information can be verified by sources that are cited in the article but not in the proper place.
  • "Platypusery" should either be "platypusary" or "platypussary". This occurs twice.
  • Cecil and Penelope slept during the days except for their hour-long break to see visitors. At night, they came out to eat dinner of 25 to 35 live crayfish, 200 to 300 worms, one frog, several scrambled eggs, and mud. – WP:Close paraphrasing; the source says Cecil and Penelope never varied in their basic routine: they slept by day (with an hour's break for visitors), came out at night for dinner (25 to 35 live crayfish, 200 to 300 worms, one frog, several scrambled eggs, add mud and stir).
  • Cecil would bit onto her flat tail and hold on as Penelope waddled around her the pool – this needs copyediting: "bit" should be "bite" and "around her the pool" is an anacoluthon.
  • Zookeepers were eager to see captive platypuses mate because – this is not in the cited source, nor can it be since the cited source here is from 1944.
  • scratching with her twenty claws is a rather conspicuous paraphrase of the source's scratching furiously with all of her 20 sharp claws.
  • The next year, during the North American mating season in the spring, Penelope was more receptive to Cecil's presence. – that's not what the source says. The source says that Penelope acted the same way in the spring of 1952 as in the spring of 1951, and did not change her demeanour until June. The reference to a North American mating season is not in the source and extremely dubious considering that platypuses are not native to North America (or the Northern hemisphere at all, for that matter).
  • Zoologists reported that they "had been duped" by Penelope, calling her a "faker" and accusing her of "posing as an expectant mother just to lead a life of luxury on double rations". – the source does not attribute this to zoologists but to "Officials at New York's Bronx Zoo". You could write "zookeepers" instead.
  • Am I to infer that the entirety of the first paragraph in the "Escape from the zoo" section comes from the NYT article cited in the middle?
  • In 1958, the Bronx Zoo received three more platypuses named Paul, Patty, and Pamela. All three died within their first year in North America. Cecil died two years after Penelope's disappearance. – not in the cited source.

  • Symbol possible vote.svg @Evrik: I have had no luck finding the information in the hook in the given source. Also for citation 5 in the article, I cannot find any information about fire baskets. Then there is this Sentence "During the Middle Ages fire baskets filled with sulfur were used to repel the Black Death" - the given citation #4 contains no information about fire baskets. I cannot access other sources but we should start with this. Lightburst (talk) 20:11, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • For the hook look on page 81,

    The establishment of lighthouses to increase safety at sea along Denmark’s coasts started in 1560 when the Danish king Frederik II ordered the erection of bascule lights at Skagen, Anholt and Kullen to mark the main route through Danish waters from the North Sea to the Baltic.

For reference 5, "Lyskilden var kulbaseret i en fyrpande på tårnets top", " The light source was coal-based in a boiler at the top of the tower." There is also this source. If that's not good enough we can drop the sentence. --evrik (talk) 01:37, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I see that you have the hook correctly referenced in the article now. For citation 5 I think there is just an issue with my machine translation. But I am still unable to reach the conclusion that I see in our article, that "During the Middle Ages fire baskets filled with sulfur were used to repel the Black Death" I cannot find that information in the given source in the article.

Okay, this is what I read, "For the wealthy, the burning of incense in large braisers was a luxurious form of fumigation. Fumigating one’s garments with incense, not only as a perfume but as a form of plague prevention became common among the elite. However, bonfires, sulfur/saltpetre burning, and even spraying deadly mercury compounds were used in public fumigations."

Symbol redirect vote 4.svg I am not going to refactor the article. I cannot find anything about Christmas in citation 3 either.

QPQ: Red XN - ?
Overall: Symbol question.svg @Bneu2013: Article is recently moved, long enough, neutral, extensively sourced, no copyvio according to Earwig. Could be slightly tightened in a few spots but otherwise well written. Not sure on QPQ, looks like you're above the threshold but didn't see any so let me know on this. However, the hook has an issue. The source given does not state that this specific interchange is "one of the worst bottlenecks for trucks in the United States"; the study it mentions is about several interchanges and the story doesn't tease them apart. Fortunately though, this is a simple fix since I was able to find this statistic attributed to a researcher in a Yahoo News article. This article also gives a more specific scope -- it was listed as one of the worst 100 bottlenecks in America -- which may be more interesting than the somewhat vague wording in the hook now.

@Bneu2013: Got it, thanks. A few more notes:
  • "Another study that same year by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute ranked Chattanooga the second-most congested midsize city in the country." -- The source given does not specify that Chattanooga is the second-most congested midsize city. The study it mentions might.
  • The article says "The city rated high among the second group in terms of annual hours of delay per commuter at 28". I've reworded to be more consistent with the source.
  • "After the first phase was completed, the two-to-one lane bottleneck on the ramp from I-75 northbound to I-24 westbound was left in place for the second phase, which was criticized by some" -- "criticized by some" is a bit vague (WP:AWW).
  • Reworded.
  • "[Phase 1] was the second-most expensive highway contract in state history." -- Inline citation for this doesn't mention anything about it being second most expensive, is this mentioned anywhere else?
  • I know I've read this in some newspaper article, but I'm having trouble finding it now. Articles about the second phase are clogging up the search results. Removed for now.

  • Symbol question.svg Onegreatjoke, thanks for nominating this. i had been interested in reading more about this marathon, and had not realized that we now have an article on it.
    • general: article is long enough and was promoted to good article status recently enough.
    • policy:
      • article is sourced and neutral. earwig shows nothing of concern.
      • spot checks of at least three different sources did not reveal any close paraphrasing, but did raise other issues.
        • the source in the honolulu advertiser cited for the first two sentences of the race summary section states that there were 250 runners, which does not appear to support the article's assertion that there were 186 starters. i also could not find anything in the source supporting the start time mentioned in the article, though i did find it mentioned in another source. confusingly, the honolulu advertiser also states that runners "f[ought] the humidity", while one competitor is quoted as saying that "it felt really dry", so i cannot tell if the source supports the statement that the race "took place in ... dry conditions". (interestingly, the source also states that cooksey's previous personal record was 2:58:47, which is more than 12 minutes slower than her finish time in this race, while the article states that cooksey broke her record by over 7 minutes, so i am not sure if reliable sources simply disagree on this point.)
        • the article "avon marathon facts and figures" in the atlanta constitution states that the race was conducted by the atlanta track club, not that it was licensed by the club. i am admittedly not sure what licensing a marathon would mean in this context. does it mean that they certified that the course covered the marathon distance?
        • the article "world will watch atlanta" in the atlanta constitution gives vahlensieck's record time as 2:34:47.5, which, i believe, should be rounded up to 2:34:48, not down. the article on her also uses 2:34:48, as does the article on the race in which it was set.
    • hooks:
      • hooks are under 200 characters, interesting, cited, and neutral.
      • alt0 is accurate. according to mos:lq, the '.' should be dropped because the quotation is not a full sentence.
      • for alt1, i cannot seem to access the sports illustrated source, so am assuming good faith.
    • points outside of the dyk criteria:
      • regarding the roads mentioned in the last sentence of the course section, the cited source spells all three roads with "Dunwoody", not "Dunwood". i am admittedly not sure why the en dash is being used; the source seems to just use a hyphen, and google maps tells me that the modern names do not appear to use either.
      • i also took down some notes regarding a few grammatical and stylistic errors. if you're interested, please let me know.

Cheers dying. I'm really busy off-wiki at the moment, but if you want to put these (non-DYK) notes and any other thoughts you have on the article talk page, I'll have a look when I'm able. Off the top of my head, I recall there being a fair bit of contrary information, a lot of which seemed like promotional or marketing spiel, so that might cover the 250/186 issue for example. I've tried to use what seemed most reliable or most regularly used throughout, but I obviously may have made mistakes. Will look over when I can. (I'm not watching this page.)

      • spot checks of at least three different sources did not reveal any close paraphrasing. in fact, some of the sources did not seem to discuss the cited material in the first place. did you remember to check to make sure that all the sources cited actually support the statements for which they are cited? from what i can tell, this article made its way from ru wikipedia via es wikipedia, so i think all the sources should be checked to make sure that issues that may have originated on one of the other two wikipedias are not being reproduced here, and that errors that result from an article being translated twice are not being introduced either.
        • the bigpicture.ru source cited for the lead does not appear to mention her birthplace. also, as the source was archived in 2020, it presumably does not mention the album released in 2023 either.
        • the sobaka.ru source cited for the release of элегия does not appear to actually mention the album.
        • the the-flow.ru source cited for the release of the 2023 album does not appear to state when the album was released. the source was published in march but speaks of the release in past tense, while the article asserts that the album was presented in april.
      • the discography is only partially cited. my understanding of the dyk requirements is that everything in the article needs to be cited correctly. i admittedly don't recall reviewing an article with a discography at dyk before, but i would assume that there is no exception for discographies. (i know that recent death nominations at itn/c are often held up due to an unsourced discography.) is providing proper sourcing for the discography something that you are able to do?
    • qpq: provided.
    • hook:
      • hook is under 200 characters, interesting, and cited.
      • the source is an interview, so although i don't doubt that she earned the money for her guitar by busking, i would hesitate to state that she "had to buy her first guitar" with money made by busking, even though this may be how she described it herself. presumably, she could have earned the money in a number of other ways, and she did not have to spend it on a guitar. in the interview, she states that her mother was initially unsupportive, so there does not seem to have been any maternal pressure to buy a guitar; it appears to me that she wanted to buy a guitar herself. the article also does not use such wording, stating that she simply bought the guitar with money she earned via busking.
      • the hook uses "busking on the violin" while the article uses "with her violin". are both prepositions acceptable? i would normally think that "busking on" would be followed by a location (e.g., "busking on nevsky prospect"), but i am not sure about that.
      • if her stage name is virtually always presented uncapitalized, i think we can do the same in the hook, as per mos:lcitems. in addition, the {{lowercase title}} template can be used in the article itself to have the title presented in the same way there, if desired.
      • to address the above issues, i thought i might propose an alternative hook.

        alt0a: ... that Russian indie pop artist polnalyubvi bought her first guitar with money earned busking with her violin?

    • points outside of the dyk criteria:
      • should "completed her studied and announced" be "completed her studies and announced" instead?
      • album names should be in italics, and song names in double quotes, as per mos:title. the article is also inconsistent regarding how it provides the original titles in russian: sometimes it uses the {{lang-ru}} template, while sometimes it just uses double quotes and italics. by the way, due to the proper name exception of mos:foreignitalic, proper names in a language other than english are generally not italicized, although they may be italicized for a reason other than simply not being in english. this means that, for this article, the russian titles of her songs should be in double quotes but not in italics, while the russian titles of her albums should be in italics (because they are album titles, not because they are in russian) and not in double quotes.
dying (talk) 12:06, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi dying, thanks for the feedback! I agree with all of your points, have fixed refs accordingly. New hook look good. I do have a problem with the Discography section though; I can't find a reliable source that doesn't involve user generated content. If you want I can just scrap the Singles and Collaborations subsections for being uncited, as they stand they also bring up issues with BLP. What do you think? Frzzl 21:47, 23/05/23
Frzzl, i am admittedly not an expert on what sources are considered reliable for music releases, but it appears that polnalyubvi has released much, if not all, of her discography on apple music, so if apple music is considered a reliable source, then here are a number of urls for you.
note specifically that "песня последней встречи" does not appear to have been released as a single, but as a track on a tribute album, along with tracks from other artists. also, a piano version of "кометы" was released as a separate single in 2022, but i don't know if it should be included. in addition, the song "новогодняя колыбельная" appears to have been released as a single, but it is not currently in the list of singles in the article. that last song is also credited to "смешарики", so i am not sure which section of the discography the single would be listed under.
admittedly, i believe that, if i start getting too involved with actually helping you satisfy the dyk requirements, i ended up being considered too involved and will have to recuse myself from the review, but hopefully, simply providing urls isn't a problem if i'm not adding them to the article myself. if any other editor feels otherwise, please let me know.
by the way, i recently realized that you are inconsistent with how you transliterated her surname. most of the article uses "Demeshchenko", but the lead and infobox both use "Demeschenko". if you haven't found anything indicating that the artist has a specific preference, i would assume that either transliteration should be fine, as long as the article is consistent. in addition, on a completely different note, the m24.ru source currently appears twice in the list of references. both of these minor points are technically outside the dyk requirements, so they won't hold up an approve, but i thought you might like to know.
anyway, once you've updated the article appropriately, i will go ahead with a full source review. this is not normally done for dyk nominations, but as the article failed three out of three spot checks, i feel that i would be shirking responsibility if i didn't perform one. i assume that there shouldn't be any issues if you have completed one yourself. dying (talk) 04:20, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Ok, thanks for the links, I've added the references. I think that although Apple Music is an affiliate source, it works fine. Fixed the m24.ru case as well as the transliteration mistake. I've had a look at the sources, so while I think things should now be fine, a check from you would be much appreciated. I don't think the piano version of "кометы" should be included as its own listing. Frzzl 12:41, 29 May 2023

The article has a "This section is empty" tag, which at the very least needs to be resolved in order for this nomination to proceed. Actually, the second paragraph of "Jewish internees" has no sources at all; per the DYK rules, each paragraph in the body must have at least one citation. This nomination can still be promoted if you continue working on the article to resolve these issues within the next few days. Otherwise, if this nomination is failed or withdrawn, you'd have to expand the article fivefold or improve it to Good Article status for this article to become DYK-eligible again.

The article is better than before, but it still feels a bit incomplete at parts and would benefit from copyediting. For instance, I just picked a random sentence in the article, and it has two grammar errors: "As the war progressed and the NAzi invaders fgot further into the Soviet Union". There are also some places where it will be beneficial to add details, e.g. the "Life in the camps" section, which seems to be a list of facts rather than a coherent narrative. While these are not DYK eligibility criteria, fleshing out the text would benefit the article greatly. What is a DYK criterion is the issue that the hook fact does not appear to be mentioned in the article, let alone have a source. At the very least, you need to state the hook fact explicitly in the article and include a source at the end of the sentence where that fact is mentioned. I hope this feedback is helpful for you as you continue to improve the article. Epicgenius (talk) 22:32, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

AT3 is BBC sourced but need to be included in the article first

I’m confused, isn’t the first citation exactly this BBC source? Or do you mean to change the currency from yuan to dollar? But the BBC source did mention how much yuan they were fined and confiscated in paragraph 10 as follows:

They then confiscated 1.32m yuan of what was deemed to be illegal income, and fined the company another 13.35m yuan, according to Xinhua.

As for the source for AT2, I am confused, too, for saying it wasn’t cited; some sources even used ‘comparing army to dogs’ or ‘likened Chinese soldiers to feral dogs’ in their titles, like these two that follows.[1][2]
And that wasn’t what Li was doing, as per discussion here on the talk page, he was at most comparing his dogs to the army, not the other way around. Therefore it is indeed ‘some people thought’ he was.

Symbol question.svg Nice addition to Wikipedia content on San Francisco, staircases, and public artwork. New enough (submitted within one day of creation); long enough (currently at ~2262 characters); neutrally written; Earwig says copyvio unlikely. Appears to cite appropriate sources, although I would point out at least two references are missing the name of the publication, one of which is ABC7 and should be archived immediately due to the short lifespan of their links. Also, I'm never quite sure what to make of travel blogs (e.g. McCool Travel and California Through My Lens), especially when it comes to local details which can be difficult to find elsewhere. My advice is to cite them sparingly and only if you absolutely have to, and try to replace them with sources with higher RS scores if you can; you could probably move one or two of those to "External links" if you think they provide value to readers. QPQ review is still pending. Finally, with regard to the hook and the corresponding claim in the article text: Is the Tiled Steps project really claiming that it is the world's largest mosaic staircase? Or is it other people who are making that claim? I know this is extremely picky, but the "claims/claiming" wording seems like it may not be quite right in both the hook and the article. Cielquiparle (talk) 03:02, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I added the publication names for the references. ABC7 is unable to be archived as Internet Archive hasn't archived it yet. Also, for the hook, would replacing "claims to" with "may" (making it "... that with 163 steps, the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps may be the world's largest mosaic staircase?") be better than before? Lastly, when you say "QPQ review is still pending." would you mean that you are seeking a QPQ review from me? Or are you referring to your own review? (this is the first article I have ever nominated) DarkNight0917 (talk) 03:54, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@DarkNight0917: The picture you currently have is good, but hard to see at 140px (the main page resolution), so I suggest we use this cropped version, because the flowers on the sides are not important to the image.
Changed image. DarkNight0917 (talk) 00:30, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Amending review. QPQ review is not required, as this is the nominator's first DYK submission. The new photo accompanying the hook is a cropped version of an image which has been on Commons since 2015 with a CC BY 3.0 license. (Thanks to PalauanLibertarian who did not sign their comment above.) I've gone ahead and added the words "(pictured)" to the original hook. However, the issue remains with the hook wording. A Google search suggests that there probably aren't any other mosaic staircases in the world with more than 163 steps, and it seems most sources agree that the "world's largest" claim is likely true...with a few saying it's "possibly" the world's largest mosaic staircase just in case. In the interest of trying to get this DYK nomination approved in as few steps as possible, I'm going to go ahead and propose a bunch of alternative wordings, and leave it to another reviewer to weigh in and give final approval. So some possibilities for qualifiers are:

Ein Samiya
  • ... that Ein Samiya, which provides the water for Palestinian beer, was depopulated in 2023 after decades of harassment by neighboring Israeli settlers? Source: Meneley, Anne (2014). "Resistance Is Fertile!". Gastronomica. University of California Press. 14 (4): 69–78. doi:10.1525/gfc.2014.14.4.69. ISSN 1529-3262. JSTOR 10.1525/gfc.2014.14.4.69. The only ingredient that guarantees Palestinianness is the natural spring water from the Ein Samia spring. This is an important point, as water in Palestine is now under serious threat, with Israelis controlling 80 percent of the water in the West Bank, and springs, like olive trees, are very much a target of Israeli settler colonialism. Manning (2012: 223), speaking of Georgian beer production, has an interesting analysis of how European beer technology insures quality of production, but marketing authentic Georgianness focuses on two elements: the ethnographic tradition of Georgia's mountain peoples, and Georgian nature in the form of the mountain spring water that has been renowned for centuries. In the case of Palestine, the Ein Samia water is the guarantor of Palestinian authenticity while the European ingredients and techniques are the guarantors of quality. In Taybeh's promotional material, it is not ethnography that is drawn upon but discourses about resources in Palestinian nationalism; water is as much of a concern as land. Customers are urged to Drink Palestinian in order to Taste the Revolution, linking beer consumption to a wider political project of freeing Palestine from the Israeli occupation. and "Palestinian community forced to evacuate Ein Samia - UNOCHA". The Jerusalem Post. 2023-05-26. Retrieved 2023-05-26. A Palestinian community in Ein Samia has been evacuated on Monday to make room for settlers, according to a report by the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA). Members of a Palestinian shepherding community in Ein Samia in the Ramallah district of the West Bank have begun dismantling their homes and leaving. Residents said they are being forced to leave due to the violence from settlers; Ein Samia was home to 178 people, including 78 children. Acting Humanitarian Coordinator Yvonne Halle claimed: "These families are not leaving by choice; the Israeli authorities have repeatedly destroyed houses and other buildings they own and threatened to destroy their only school." She added: "At the same time, the available grazing land has dwindled due to the expansion of settlements. Both children and adults have experienced settler violence."

  • @Epicgenius: Thanks for the review; I hear your concern but personally don't see how the hook is unclear - something was complex so it took longer than expected, is context necessary (or indeed relevant to the point)?

    • Sorry for the confusion. I mean that you can just say "... that at one building, Antoni Gaudí wanted a tile design so complex". You don't have to mention the building directly, but currently it's unclear what Gaudi wanted a complex tile design for - the hook just says that he wants a tile design, but not that he wanted the design for a building.

Overall: Symbol possible vote.svg @Kiran891: Good article. Though, is there a better hook that could be made? alt1 isn't that interesting while alt0 could work but I feel like it also couldn't. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:44, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

QPQ: Red XN - Not done yet
Overall: Symbol question.svg I just have some questions about the use of this source for the hook and throughout the article. This is WP:ABOUTSELF as it is published by the company about the game. We either need to find other sources for this or write the text differently to show this is a claim they are making. Once this and the QPQ are sorted it should be good to go. Well done!

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: [18]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [19].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
