Created by Prodraxis (talk). Self-nominated at 22:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Draken (roller coaster); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • noting that the previous hook was ... that Draken (pictured) is the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in South Korea?...has been changed since then, see below. Tails Wx 23:01, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
  • Prodraxis, good work! Recently created, no copyvio issues, sufficient length, well-sourced, hook mentioned in article, QPQ not needed as stated above. The only issue I have is that Draken is tied with Giant Splash in Busan per the "steepest" source. Can the hook be changed to mention that? Tails Wx 22:33, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
  • @Tails Wx: I'd prefer not to add the bit about Giant Splash or the steepness because Giant Splash does not have an article yet (perhaps I can write it sometime later....) Normally in hooks like this Giant Splash would be wikilinked but I feel like it would be kinda... off not to wikilink Giant Splash and I don't want a redlink appearing on the main page either. What about
  • ... that Draken (pictured) is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in South Korea?

  • We could also do:
  • ...that Draken (pictured) is the tallest, fastest, and tied for the steepest roller coaster in South Korea?

  • Great idea! I like this hook. #prodraxis connect 22:53, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
  • To another reviewer:hook above agreed on. Tails Wx 22:58, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
@Tails Wx and Prodraxis: Nice job on the hook. Now, the article needs to be updated to match the hook and the cited sources, or else it can't appear on the main page. Cielquiparle (talk) 19:43, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 Done Updated the article to include the bit about Giant Digger. #prodraxis connect 22:08, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
@Cielquiparle: @Tails Wx: Looks like this has stalled for a while..... #prodraxis connect 19:35, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

New reviewer needed, although I hope that Cielquiparle or Tails Wx return to finish this off. Z1720 (talk) 18:00, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Z1720, sorry, but I can't review my own hook as I suggested above. Hopeful that this will be reviewed after nearly two months. Tails Wx 18:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
@Tails Wx and Prodraxis: Nice. Even better if we state a point in time, like "as of $MONTH 2023"...so the article remains true even if the roller coaster is surpassed in the meantime (especially since this DYK is taking so long to approve). (Note: This is the problem with the fastest/tallest/first-type claims... They tend to get examined and re-examined all the way to WP:ERRORS on the day it's published.

@Tails Wx and Cielquiparle: What about...
  • ALT3: ...that Draken (pictured) is the tallest, fastest, and tied for the steepest roller coaster in South Korea, as of October 2023? #prodraxis connect 01:49, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
ALT3 sounds good to me! Tails Wx 01:57, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
I would approve the current ALT0 – I put the $DATE (as of October 2023) in the article rather than the hook. AGF on non-English sources. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:05, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
