DYK

[edit]

This article should be eligible for appearing on the main page as a "Did you know" entry, if it is nominated it soon; it is supposed to be nominated within 5 days of being created or significantly (5x) expanded.

The instructions for nominating it are at Template talk:Did you know. Basically, all you need to do is take this code if you created a new article: 

{{subst:NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=new | author=  }}

or this code if you expanded it 

{{subst:NewDYKnom| article= | hook=... that ? | status=expanded | author= }}

and write the hook, a concise and interesting bit of info from the article beginning with "... that" and ending with a question mark. The info from the hook has to be present in the article and supported (in the article) with a citation. Someone will double-check to make sure the source says what it's claimed to say.

Once you've come up with a hook, fill in your username as the author and fill the title of the article, then add the above code, including your hook following the "hook=" part, to the top of the appropriate section for the day the article was started on the DYK template talk page. The code will produce an entry formatted like the others. After that, just keep an eye on the entry; if anyone brings up an issue with it, try to address it. I'll keep an eye out as well. If everything goes well, it will appear on the Main Page for several hours a few days from now.

I agree. It does need to be fixed up first. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:41, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I will do the updates tonight for the DYK component. Thanks! Football1502 (talk) 19:00, 28 April 2011 (UTC) Football1502[reply]
Splendid. If you need any help at all, just ask. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:52, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Please hold off on consolidating refs for the next couple of days. It would make it hard to copy edit. Thanks, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:30, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Potential move?

[edit]

Considering that this article is entirely about the United States, perhaps its title should reflect that fact? Just a thought. Seegoon (talk) 00:06, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, that sounds like a good solution. Qrsdogg (talk) 19:41, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea. What do you suggest? (By the way, the article is about the policies of the National Wireless Initiative. Not sure if that should be part of the title.) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:28, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking that simply Policies promoting wireless broadband in the United States might work. Policies promoting the National Wireless Initiative might be more exact, but less of a common name etc. Qrsdogg (talk) 04:57, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I like Policies promoting wireless broadband in the United States. National Wireless Initiative is already a redirect, so that's covered. But googling "National Wireless Initiative" doesn't find this article. Hmmmm. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:53, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting, well, I moved the page for now. Qrsdogg (talk) 14:38, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
