A fact from Coat of arms of Naples appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 April 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that one legend on the origin of the coat of arms of Naples(pictured) claims that it alludes to the colors of the sun and moon cult practiced by the city's pre-Christian inhabitants?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Is the large Italian-language direct quote needed? I think it should be rewritten and cited in the body of the article. Perhaps suggest a more specific and interesting hook that has an in-line citation. I added the image from the article. TJMSmith (talk) 02:33, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@TJMSmith: A hook about the Constantine colors tradition angle could potentially work (as long as it's made clear that the information was legendary and not the truth), the issue right now (other than the reference needing to be duplicated for DYK purposes) is that it's not clear who the "they" in "which they were welcomed" is referring to.

Giving writing a possible ALT a shot. How does this sound?
ALT1 ... that one legend on the origin of the coat of arms of Naples(pictured) claims that it alluded to the colors of the sun and moon cult practiced by the city's inhabitants pre-Christianity?
The Constantine angle is the one I was trying to refer to, but the wording remains vague on what that meant (it isn't clear what "welcomed" means in this context). The hook makes it clear that it was just a legend and probably not real (reflecting what was said in the article as well). Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew11:45, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Assuming good faith on the scholarly Italian-language source. Approving ALT1 which is interesting. Updating status to until the question below is answered by the nom. TJMSmith (talk) 03:07, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@TJMSmith: Given that the wording of the "welcome" text remains vague, the nomination should probably not be signed off until that is resolved. I've left the nom a message and am awaiting a response from them. Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew03:04, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The nominator hasn't edited in 10 days as of this post; I've left them a final message, but unless they return or another editor can address the wording concerns then we may need to start looking at the possibility of this being closed. Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew15:00, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Approving Alt1 hook in good faith to the Savorelli article behind a paywall. Article's clarification issues have been addressed. The article is new enough and long enough and within policy.4meter4 (talk) 22:42, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
