Improved to Good Article status by Phlsph7 (talk). Nominated by Non-pegasus (talk) at 02:05, 20 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Logical reasoning; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Nice article, but I see the main contributor is @Phlsph7:, not @Non-pegasus:. Yet, Phlsph7 isn't mentioned in this nom. BorgQueen (talk) 09:00, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
@BorgQueen: Thanks for pointing this out. I assume, under "Improved to Good Article status by", it should be me, i.e. the one who improved and nominated the article for GA and not the one who reviewed the GA nomination. I'm currently quite busy with other things so I'm fine with Non-pegasus taking care of the DYK nomination. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:26, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
@BorgQueen: Definitely not trying to step on anyone's </ref>s! I can't locate the notification I received but Wikipedia seemed to automatically recommend the DYK nomination to me specifically and thought it was a fun idea, not even considering that I could have let the writer do it. I'll be sure to mention the original GA nominator if its a rule and I come across it again. Cheers 🦄 Non-pegasus (talk) 23:17, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
No problem, I've changed the attribution for the improvement and the nomination. As for the hook, I think it's interesting for someone familiar with the topic but it could be confusing for the uninitiated, see WP:EASTEREGG. More conventional alternatives would be:
But my experience with DYK is still rather limited so it might be good if someone else could weigh in on this. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:31, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
I think that the feathers—light—darkness hook will make a great quirky hook. @Bruxton and Theleekycauldron: What do you think? BorgQueen (talk) 08:35, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
@Mandarax: you're welcome to comment, too. BorgQueen (talk) 08:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
The feather hook It is in the article with a reference - citation #109. It is the only quirky hook in this three proposed. The other two hooks will not be as interesting and are academic and factual. I guess to illustrate the definition of the term ALT0 is best. This might make a good quirky hook.(?) Bruxton (talk) 13:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Ah, I wasn't aware of quirky-hook-guideline for the last slot. I agree, the feather-hook is the best candidate for it. Phlsph7 (talk) 14:18, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.
Overall: Approve ALT0. BorgQueen (talk) 19:59, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
