Created by Natasha Khaitan (talk). Nominated by DesiBoy101 (talk) at 14:38, 9 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Composite miniature painting; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Comment p. 418 does indeed say the upper elephant trunk is a brontosaurus, but this is not mentioned in the article, which it needs to be. Johnbod (talk) 15:12, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for the comment @Johnbod. How do you suggest adding this information? In the image description or as a separate paragraph? Dinosaurs, being reptiles, are already mentioned in the History section. DesiBoy101 (talk) 06:13, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- "Dinosaurs, being reptiles, are already mentioned..." - no that's not nearly enough! I'd expand the text a little with a clear mention, and also mention in the (article) picture caption. Johnbod (talk) 16:04, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:16, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset - thank you for bringing this to notice. Will someone take this up on their own or do I need to mention about this on the DYK talk page? Regards - DesiBoy101 (talk) 04:58, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- The article was created nearly three months before it was nominated. That is far too stale for the purpose of DYK. Surtsicna (talk) 08:22, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment @Surtsicna. So apparently the page creation happens when the draft is created, irrespective of the time when it is moved to mainspace. Correct me if I'm wrong so that I can avoid it in the future. Although, would it possible to make an exception to the rule in this case? The page watchers have given optimistic feedback and I'm sure a wider audience would find it interesting. Let me know if that's possible. Regards DesiBoy101 (talk) 13:32, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- No Surtsicna did not notice that it was only moved to mainspace on 3 July, so is ok on timing. But the nom should note such moves. I've removed his symbol thingy. Johnbod (talk) 14:27, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Indeed, it went completely over my head. I even looked for a catch like that. Well, I've made a couple of minor changes. I would suggest editing the lead sentence to say when the style was prevalent. I've left tags where I could not make changes myself. I believe I have addressed all the orthography issues but grammar and style need attention from someone who understands the subject matter better. Surtsicna (talk) 19:32, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

@Surtsicna and DesiBoy101: What is the status of this nomination? Is this ready to be approved, does this need a new reviewer, or can this be withdrawn? Z1720 (talk) 14:29, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
I have inquired about the grammar and style requirements at the DYK project talk page and it seems that they are not as high as I thought. The article is otherwise long enough, comprehensive, fresh, and free of any plagiarism issues as far as I can tell using online tools. The hook is interesting, but I believe it could be more interesting. I do not wish to hold this back any longer, but I will leave a suggestion below. Surtsicna (talk) 15:18, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that since the 15th century, humans in India could be seen fused with animals, including dinosaurs?
