Instructions for nominators

[edit]

This page is for those nominations that have already been approved and are waiting to be promoted. If yours has been approved but has not yet been run on the main page, it should either be on this page or will soon be moved here, or already promoted to a Prep area or Queue ahead of an appearance on the main page.

If you wish to create a new nomination, please go to the Template talk:Did you know page; there are instructions there in a section similar to this one on how to nominate an article for DYK.

Frequently asked questions

[edit]

Backlogged?

[edit]

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until someone promotes it to a preparation area. To alleviate this problem, if the approved page has more than 120 approved hooks, then sets will change twice per day (every 12 hours) instead of once per day (every 24 hours). When the backlog falls below 60 approved nominations set frequency returns to once a day.

Where is my hook?

[edit]

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.

If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the DYK discussion page, but as a general rule such nominations will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

Instructions for other editors

[edit]

How to promote an accepted hook

[edit]
  • See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
  • In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
  • In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
  • In the prep set...
    • Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
    • Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
  • Back on DYK nomination page...
    • change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • change |passed= to |passed=yes
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save

How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue

[edit]
  • Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
  • Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there should have been a link to it in the credits section).
    • View the edit history for that page
    • Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
    • Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
  • Add a transclusion of the template back to the nominations page so that reviewers can see it. It goes under the date that it was first created/expanded/listed as a GA. You may need to add back the day header for that date if it had been removed from the nominations page.
  • If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.

Nominations

[edit]

Special occasion holding area

[edit]
Shortcut
Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section on the regular nominations page, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began, or it was listed as a Good Article; be sure to indicate in the nomination any request for a specially timed appearance on the main page.
Note: Articles intended to be held for special occasion dates should be nominated within seven days of creation, start of expansion, or promotion to Good Article status. The nomination should be made between at least one week prior to the occasion date, to allow time for reviews and promotions through the prep and queue sets, but not more than six weeks in advance. The proposed occasion must be deemed sufficiently special by reviewers. The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. Discussion clarifying the hold criteria can be found here: [1]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [2].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
Note for promoters: please be sure to add an "invisible" comment after a hook when you've placed it in prep, noting that it's a special occasion hook and including the date it is supposed to run. This should keep the hook from being moved after promotion, as sometimes happens to hooks when a queue needs a slot filled or a prep set needs to be made more balanced by swapping hooks between preps.

Barquq Castle
  • ... that the front façade, gateway, mosque and minaret of Barquq Castle in the Gaza Strip were still standing until 2024?
  • Source: Abu Khalaf 1983, p. 182: "Nowadays the Khan is almost demolished, but the front part, which consists of the façade including the gateway and the Mosque with its minaret still stands."
Created by Onceinawhile (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 79 past nominations.

Onceinawhile (talk) 00:03, 23 September 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I have done the QPQ now. Onceinawhile (talk) 06:04, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

article is long enough, new enough and within policy. Hook is short enough and interesting. QPQ is complete. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:50, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Onceinawhile:@Gonzo fan2007: This hook implies that all of these things (the front façade, gateway, mosque and minaret) are no longer standing as of 2024. However, it doesn't necessarily say that in the article, just that the site was vaguely "damaged". If we know to what extent, and if we know that all those things are indeed no longer standing, then this hook is fine, that just needs to be mentioned sourced in the article. If not the hook may need to be tweaked somewhat to reflect the fact we don't know what parts are standing or not. Kimikel (talk) 14:19, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kimikel: thank you for raising this. The hook was written before the article was complete, so it was intentionally vague as to what happened during the war as we had not quite figured it out. Following further research, the article now says "The castle was damaged during the Israel–Hamas war." UNESCO have verified damage to the site, and the images in this article show what is standing and what is damaged. I suggest we amend the hook to:
Onceinawhile (talk) 18:55, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Onceinawhile: Okay, so 637 appears to come from 2024-1387, which a) would need a citation for 1387 (and given that this could conceivably be late 1387 and early 2024, I'm not even sure that's adequate); b) "the ... Yunis" is cruising for a pruning per WP:DYKTRIM, and c) given Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 203#Negative Israel hooks you should very seriously consider merging this with Old City of Gaza, i.e. some variant of ALT2: ... that the Old City of Gaza, the Old City of Nablus, and the 600-year-old Barquq Castle have all been damaged by the Israel-Hamas War?--Launchballer 11:50, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Launchballer. The 1387 is sourced twice in the article, most precisely in the inscription section. The Arabic inscription at the top of the gateway dates it 789 AH (ar:789 هـ) which is technically 1387-88. Perhaps better to say “over 600-year-old” or similar.
The proposed merger doesn’t work because Nablus has nothing to do with Hamas. I have already merged two into one, I don’t think three into one is workable - particularly as two are cities with many historical monuments and the other is just a single monument (if the only truly historical monument in Khan Yunis) - but happy to hear further proposals.
Onceinawhile (talk) 21:06, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Onceinawhile: How about "14th-century"?--Launchballer 00:34, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: that works perfectly. So it would be:
Onceinawhile (talk) 08:31, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me, and as I've introduced no new information let's roll.--Launchballer 13:10, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not entirely clear to me what "the eponymous historical monument" means Onceinawhile? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:43, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @AirshipJungleman29: the other name for Barquq Castle is Khan Yunis.
Yunis was a local leader under Sultan Barquq. Castle (or "qalat") is the local and common name for what is here actually a Khan (an inn for travellers).
Later a town built up around this "Khan Yunis". The town was named after the building, hence "eponymous".
Onceinawhile (talk) 21:02, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article says the town was named after the official, not the castle named after the official. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:58, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @AirshipJungleman29: I have clarified the drafting. Thanks for pointing this out. Onceinawhile (talk) 22:54, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hanif Kureshi

Ktin (talk) 01:27, 28 September 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • Extremely no-fun comment: If this goes on the main page, the copyright status of the images in it should be clear. I'm looking at c:Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/India, and it says that there is not freedom of panorama "For copyrighted 2D (paintings, drawings, maps, pictures, engravings, etc.)". It seems that only sculptures, and art that is not "Paintings, drawings, or photographs", has FOP. So.. did Hanif Kureshi dedicate his art to the public domain? Is his estate (if any) willing to, if he didn't? I'm not demanding the images be removed or anything, just that if we can't be sure, it may be better to withdraw the nom and keep the possibly questionable images than proceed with the nom if the image copyright status can't be ascertained. (Of course, if the copyright status can be ascertained to be good, then great.) SnowFire (talk) 03:06, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe we should be good on Indian freedom of panorama due to the 'permanently situate' clause. Specifically, this would be included in the freedom of panorama clause in India because the work is "permanently situated in a public place or premises to which the public has access". Will wait for the DYK review. Ktin (talk) 03:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • If I may ask, which country's street murals did you upload? If it was Indian street murals and the murals were in a public place, they should not have been deleted. Specifically as quoted above, if the work of art is permanently situated in a public place or premises to which the public has access, that should be allowed under freedom of panorama, in India. Ktin (talk) 00:44, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Street art in India is permitted under Freedom of Panorama if they were in a public place, specifically under clause Section 52(t) which says (the following acts shall not constitute an infringement of copyright) ... if such work is permanently situate in a public place or any premises to which the public has access. So if you had uploaded pictures of murals in India, they should not have been deleted. Ktin (talk) 03:52, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will take your word for it; but others might not. I've never seen a lead image in the PNG format before, especially one that represents a screen capture from a video. Viriditas (talk) 08:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing a read through and random spot checks. I don't like how you use multiple sources after a sentence; when I look at the source, I see that only one of the two (for example) supports the material in whole or in part, rather than both. I'm guessing this is due to older versions and too many cooks in the kitchen. Best practice is to have one citation at the end of a sentence or phrase or a word. I find it helpful to bundle sources if you need to use more than two, such that one appears inline only. Example: there's no reason to have two citations after "Kureshi was born on 12 October 1982 in Palitana, a town in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat", when the entire statement is supported by just one.[3] Viriditas (talk) 09:18, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And now I see that neither of the cited sources supports his birth date of 12 October. Please go through this article and make sure each citation is used judiciously and supports the material. Viriditas (talk) 09:21, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This source supports the birth date, but is not currently in the article. Also, because it was published on October 30, we don't know if there's a problem with citogenesis. Looking at the page history, the only source for his birth date is yourself. Perhaps you can fix this issue? Viriditas (talk) 06:41, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, the birth date comes from the social media account for the St+art India Foundation which announced his death on September 23.[4] It doesn't look like anyone else used it until much later, either copying it from Facebook and Instagram or from this article. I'm not clear how we go ahead and cite that other than IAR. Viriditas (talk) 06:48, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think I figured out a workaround. Vogue India posted a piece just before or after you created the Wikipedia bio. They directly cited a portion of the original Instagram post (an image), which preserves the chain of evidence in a reliable secondary source without citogenesis. I will go ahead and add this now. Viriditas (talk) 06:56, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm slowly making way through every sentence, and virtually every paragraph has the wrong source or a missing source. I am attempting to fix this, but this article was not ready for DYK when it was nominated. Viriditas (talk) 09:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Almost done, but I have to go to sleep now and won't be able to finish until tomorrow. If anyone reads this, the lead doesn't mention the Handpainted Type Project and it really needs to do so. I would be embarrassed to run this if it didn't. Viriditas (talk) 11:40, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ktin: your hook has to be based on information in the article. Currently, you don't mention anything about Daku inline. You will need to add that. In addition to adding it to the body, I would also add it to the lead along with the Handpainted Type Project. Viriditas (talk) 11:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas: I don’t have access to a computer that I can edit from. But I had a brief look and an IP editor and another one-edit editor has edited the article after I nominated the DYK to remove content from both the body and the lede. Please have a look. Alternately, I will when I get access again. Ktin (talk) 23:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ktin: Thanks for letting me know. I will take care of the issues, but by doing so, I won't be allowed to review the nomination. Please confirm that all of these images of murals were completed in whole or in part by Hanif Kureshi. I have added commons categories to all of them in good faith, but there is no identifying information in the image uploads indicating Kureshi is the author. Viriditas (talk) 23:54, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will attempt to add sources to the images later tonight. Viriditas (talk) 03:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ping me when you're done and I will review this.--Launchballer 15:16, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I will. The article is very problematic, and I'm having to go through every sentence, line by line, source by source. There's also an enormous amount that isn't here, so there's a potential WP:DYKCOMPLETE problem that I'm also trying to solve. Viriditas (talk) 21:24, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ktin: I'm trying to finish this up, but I noticed that professor Sanchita Khurana has included a lot of great images of Kureshi's public art online with a photo credit to the St+art India Foundation. Does that mean I can upload the images to commons, or not? Given that Kureshi co-founded this project with the idea of getting art to the people, it would make sense if the images were released to the public, as that philosophy would be aligned with the original intent of the foundation. It would also vastly improve this article. Otherwise, we currently only have one image of Kureshi's work, and because the angle is rather extreme and the lighting is harsh, it's not a good one, and I would like to remedy that by replacing it with a non-free one if need be. Viriditas (talk) 21:25, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Viriditas: I still do not have access to a computer that I can edit from. However, these images — are they images of buildings / streets that have the murals on them or are they pictures of the murals isolated? If the former they would be allowed under freedom of panorama in India, but, if they are the latter, they are copyrighted. We can always reach out to St+art India on instagram and ask them if they are willing to upload a picture or two onto commons and release them under cc3 or similar. I have seen folks do that in the past. Unfortunately we can’t use non free image under the *fair use* principle because it will be argued that it is possible to walk up and get a picture of the building / street art. Furthermore, iirc fair use would require that the picture be used as the identifying graphic for the article. I hope to get access to a computer to edit from over the weekend and I can lend a hand. Ktin (talk) 04:15, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas: I am back with availability over the weekend. Feel free to let me know if you need anything from me. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 08:35, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ktin: Thank you. I am trying to wind things down and wrap this up. I'm hoping to be finished in 14-16 hours from now, if I can get it together. Viriditas (talk) 09:32, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ktin: I think I figured out why I was having so many problems. The merge of Daku (artist) was never completed. I only just saw this. This is why I made the comment about DYKCOMPLETE up above. What I'm seeing in the sources and what I'm seeing in this article didn't line up until I looked at the original Daku article, which shows me all the missing content. Viriditas (talk) 11:00, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ktin: It would be very helpful if you could upload some more free images. I understand if you can't, but the only image we have of Kureshi's work is sadly captured from the wrong angle. That particular work (We Love Dilli) is supposed to be captured from the front to show the script floating. With the current image taken from the side, you can't actually see that effect, and it pretty much detracts from the entire point. I understand that the photographer probably wasn't aware of this, but photographing art is very tricky, and there are, in fact, pieces which defy the act of photography itself. If that means requesting images from the various art collectives Kureshi worked with, that would be great. Viriditas (talk) 10:05, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas: I have asked on the Instagram page of St+art India. Will keep you posted. Ktin (talk) 19:15, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas: Btw, the graffiti that image that you have added from Goregaon. I had seen that before. While it does read "Daku", I had no way to verify that it was indeed Kureshi's creation. Hence, I had not added it to the article. From a stylization standpoint, it does not line up with any of his other creations. I might be wrong. But, what we have there is unverified. Ktin (talk) 19:24, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not so sure. The WSJ said he spent a year tagging buildings in Mumbai, and that he "shies away from being associated with just one face or identity. He doesn't want to be known for only one kind of art." I'll consider removing it if I can't find anything else to support it. I should also note that the Gujarati language Wikipedia pretty much confirms this: "Over the years he wrote his name in different colors and patterns in cities like Mumbai..." Viriditas (talk) 21:54, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: I've made some significant progress, and I'm at an inflection point. I don't want this to time out, so I'm wondering if I can have another day or two to work on it. Viriditas (talk) 22:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, take your time.--Launchballer 22:39, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I just want to note that the hook has to be rewritten as it completely underplays the point of why Kureshi was using Google Street View, which is the most interesting part of the hook. Viriditas (talk) 23:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: I'm ready for a review. Viriditas (talk) 11:57, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ktin and Viriditas: Alright. This is certainly long enough at just under 7500 characters. The problem I have is that - per the talk page - this article previously existed at Daku (artist), where it was just under 5000 characters. Even if I yeeted all the {{cn}} stuff on BLP grounds, it would still be over 3000. I think this needs to go through GA to be eligible. I'm very sorry.--Launchballer 13:03, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Firstly, thanks for your patience on this one. I just want to note that this article Hanif Kureshi was built independently of Daku (artist) until we found that article. The context here is that the pseudonymous name Daku and related contributions were roughly one third of Kureshi's overall contributions. There was hardly any content that was brought in from the Daku article into this one when we merged the two. If you see Viriditas's note re: WP:DYKCOMPLETE also partly stemmed from that. With this, my submission is that we should consider this article independently. That said, I can understand if you think this nomination should be rejected. Thank you. Ktin (talk) 16:32, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas: Given that you have worked more than I have on identifying additional sources and expanding the article, I am happy to nominate this one for WP:GA on your behalf if you have the availability to work on any feedback that comes from the review process. I am happy to lend a hand as well. I will keep you posted on the response re: the ask for additional images. Ktin (talk) 16:50, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pings won't work unless you sign in the same edit, but Viriditas should still get mine from earlier. My problem is that this wouldn't be eligible if you'd found that first and expanded it. The nearest equivalent I can think of is Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 200#Request to close nomination, at which IAR wasn't mentioned. If you put in a request at WP:GARC, you might be able to get it done before this times out.--Launchballer 17:43, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Use Special:ComparePages for this kind of problem. Here is the result. Daku (artist) and Hanif Kureshi are the same, but two separate articles with different content. The reason they are topic dupes, is because the original article was based on the anonymous career of Daku’s work as a graffiti artist before he became known as Hanif Kureshi. Ktin created this article after Kureshi died. I believe this means this DYK is still eligible. This kind of problem has come up before so this shouldn’t be a problem. Viriditas (talk) 17:49, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:DYK5X, "this calculation is made from the last version of the article before the expansion began, even if text from the original was deleted in the process (unless the text was a copyright violation, in which case it does not count towards the size of the original)." You can take it up at WT:DYK if you like, but I still don't think this is eligible.--Launchballer 01:16, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It’s not a 5x problem. They were two separate articles; Ktin wasn’t even aware of the other article until two days after writing this one, and as you can see from the ComparePage diff result up above, there’s no overlapping content. The original article was about an anonymous graffiti artist; this article was about the man himself. I realize that this must be confusing for you as it’s an edge case, so I won’t be taking it up anywhere, however I do remember this kind of thing happening before in the past. Have a great week. Viriditas (talk) 01:38, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I could not have said this better. Thank you Viriditas. Ktin (talk) 03:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you nominate it, you will need to find time to work with the reviewer. My task here was to try and salvage this DYK, which appears to have failed. In the future, always check for article dupes under different names before creating a new one. I think your article still qualifies for DYK since it was original content not based on the Daku article. Viriditas (talk) 18:25, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with Launchballer; just because another article on the same individual was redirected to this one does not make it ineligible. My only gripe with the current hook, @Viriditas and Ktin: I cannot see how this particular street art can be described as having been "painted". "Constructed" seems a much better word. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:12, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If there is consensus I'm on wrong on that point, then I will withdraw my objection and finish the review. I see I already read the article; the QPQ has been done and the hook would otherwise check out. I don't see anything else that might disqualify this.--Launchballer 13:34, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Ooh, a quadruple hook. All of the articles are new enough, long enough, and well cited. There are a few places where phrasing could be a bit more neutral (I feel like inspired would be better than empowered, for example), but those may also be stylstic considerations. Earwig isn't happy, but it's the large block quote that speaks to Plummer's inspiration in that instance. Ideally Hehir's article would have a bit more on his early life, but if the sources aren't talking about it, rather difficult. (Minor quibble: the source says "unfortunately" rather than "unfortunate", but I think it works here).  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook discussion
Thank you very much for taking on this review! I was not sure about the hook myself. Alternatives could be that it's (1) the second solo ice show tour to be ever produced or (2) that the show deals with the ethics of artificial intelligence among others (which is a rather unusual topic for an entertainment event). Do you think, that might work? If yes, I will try to figure out how to phrase and source the hook best. Henni147 (talk) 07:12, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the current hook would pass scrutiny per WP:DYKSO: The hook should not put emphasis on a commercial release date of the article subject. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:13, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging @Henni147:, I guess ALT1 (...that Echos of Life Tour is the second solo ice show tour to be ever produced?) may do the job? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:22, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5 and AlphaBetaGamma: Then let's go with ALT1? I just need to find a source that explicitely mentions 'Echoes of Life' as the second solo tour production. It's quite a clear fact because Hanyu's Repray Tour in 2023–24 was the first one, and no other skater has ever produced or performed a solo ice show. But we need to support it by a reliable secondary source. Henni147 (talk) 08:23, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1 is probably not a good idea as it is an exceptional claim and thus would require exceptional sourcing. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:21, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: We just got the news that a full story book will be published before the first show for better access and understanding of the story. Would that be suitable for a hook text? It's quite unusual that a show or concert tour is accompanied by a book. I expect Japanese newspapers to publish some detailed reports within the next few hours. Henni147 (talk) 09:57, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, because a hook about a book being published would arguably count as advertising and would not fly among the DYK regulars. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:00, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: True, didn't think of the promotional aspect. There is one more idea for a hook:

ALT3: "... that the Echoes of Life Tour by two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu is directed by Mikiko who also choreographed the Tokyo handover segment at the 2016 Summer Olympics closing ceremony?"

This hook is supported by the source above and this one by the Japan Times newspaper: "The Tokyo handover segment of the Rio 2016 closing ceremony balanced cool imagery, references galore and meme-worthy moments. That team included musician Sheena Ringo and choreographer Mikiko Mizuno [...]" Henni147 (talk) 11:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to the tool I'm using, the hook is 203 in prose, which exceeeds the 200 limit. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 00:06, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AlphaBetaGamma: Oh okay, so the "that" at the beginning is not included in the count. Does this adjustment work?

ALT3 (shortened): "... that the Echoes of Life Tour by two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu is directed by Mikiko who was also involved in the choreography of the 2016 Summer Olympics closing ceremony?"
Sources: Hanyu Yuzuru to unveil 'Echoes of Life' show on 30th birthday (Olympics.com) and The Olympic opening ceremony that wasn't (The Japan Times).

This hook should have 195 characters now, but better check as well to be sure. Henni147 (talk) 07:25, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's 195 characters. Guess that's a wrap? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 09:31, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AlphaBetaGamma and Narutolovehinata5: Thank you very much for checking the hook and taking on this review in general. I hope, all issues have been fixed now. I wonder if the review template at the top needs to be updated to conclude the review? I'm not familiar with the system. Henni147 (talk) 10:11, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Henni147 and AlphaBetaGamma: I'm not sure I find the hook too enticing. Like, the fact that the performer and director were both in/at the Olympics is cool, but not the kind of thing that would make someone likely to read the full article. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:58, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Theleekycauldron: The idea behind this hook is that the Echoes of Life Tour is a solo tour of figure skating performances, and figure skating is an Olympic winter sport. Having the only two-time Olympic champion of men's skating since 1952 as the main performer and an Olympic choreographer as a director is basically like watching an Olympic-level performance, which should be triggering enough to read more about it.
Background info: The athletic content of Hanyu's last two solo shows levelled the complexity of the current world record in men's singles (6 clean quadruple jumps among others) and featured multiple Olympic-winning programs. This is not just some fancy ice show, but a serious sports performance as well. Since 'Echoes of Life' is the third installment of the series, the athletic merit is expected to be of the same caliber as its predecessors.
I'll try to figure out how to adjust the hook in a way that it sounds more exciting. I'm open to smart suggestions. Henni147 (talk) 10:02, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Given that this is a figure skating article, maybe Figureskatingfan might have some hook suggestions? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:29, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since you asked, I think that ALT3 is fine. How 'bout this for a shorter version, though: ALT4: "... that the Echoes of Life Tour by two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu is directed by Mikiko, a choreographer of the 2016 Summer Olympics closing ceremony?"

WP:EARWIG shows no copyright problems. QPQ has not yet been done. I have a minor quibble about the hook: it seems to me that it tries to convey too many individual facts. What about something simpler like

or

Thank you for reviewing, and the suggestions. I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Mind. I believe that the one thing fascinating "Maestro Berio" (as he is called by the cellist) as well as the ordinary Main page reader is this drumming. We can rather do without the series if it's really too much. I can also imagine to improve the series article to make it a double hook. ALT1 is no option for me because some kind of reverence for the cellist (and drummer) was the motivation to write the article. Making him GA seemed harder ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah I see. If we want to go without the series, we could use something like
ALT3: ...that Sequenza XIV for solo cello by Luciano Berio was inspired by the childhood experiences of cellist Rohan de Saram with Kandyan drumming?
But I think your original suggestion also meets the DYK requirements so the decision may be more a matter of taste. Approved. Phlsph7(talk) 07:57, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I think that ALT3 is a bit smallish, - the childhood drumming is just part of the inspiration, the playing of one of the most inspiring cellists of all times should not be left out completely ;) - I learned of his death from a friend who is a cellist, and felt his enthusiasm remembering a live concert of Xenakis. Berio knew why he added to a series that had already been considered complete ("complete" recording in 1995), - it's an outstanding piece in every respect and deserves a little longer hook, imho. We can't use any of the pics, sadly, because de Saram's is not free, and Berio's is way too young for one of his last works. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One last alternative if we want to go for the full package: what do you think about the following, a version of ALT0 copy-edited only for better flow:
ALT0a: ... that Sequenza XIV for solo cello by Luciano Berio, completed in 2002 as the last work in a series begun in 1958, was inspired by Rohan de Saram's artistry, including traditional Kandyan drumming?

Someone runs a series from 1958 to 2002, and you think that's not "enticing"? We have no room for that the series had been deemed complete in 1995, but someone made an exception. Someone plays cello and Indian drum, and you think that's not unusual? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:03, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the part about completing a series started over 40 years earlier should be interesting to the average reader. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:13, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Completing a series of works over a long span of time is not unusual in classical music. The span of time between Shostakovich's first and last symphonies, for example, span the same number of years as that between the first and last of Berio's Sequenza. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While interesting, ALT0a seems too unfocused (Phlsph7's original contention) to me as a promoter; is "for solo cello by Luciano Berio" necessary and could the rest be made more concise? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:59, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Sahaib, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 16 October and is of good length; article is well written and cited inline throughout; I hadn't heard of the publisher used for the citaiton for the hook but the author looks like they are reliable, holding a PhD and having written on the history of Scottish police elsewher (and being a former police superintendent); hook fact is mentioned in the article and supported by the source; image is OK and looks to be public domain by virtue of age; I didn't pick up any issues with overly-close paraphrasing from the online sources; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks OK to me - Dumelow (talk) 10:24, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Sahaib your hook currently says it was to demonstrate it was impracticable for the police to light the stairs but the article says it was to prove that it shouldn't lie with the homeowner and then was taken on by the police board. What does stairs mean in this context; I am presuming public streets like the Waverley Steps or the Vennel in Edinburgh? In reading the article I also came across a sentence I couldn't work out: "On 28 August 1850, Smart ended the practice of night constables deciding their hours and half hours with the exception of five and half past five." presumably "deciding" is the wrong word here? - Dumelow (talk) 17:18, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dumelow: you are correct, I changed it. (later in 1866 they no longer become the responsibility of police, so I can see why I got confused) The book "The First Chief Constable" is not available online, I went to the National Library of Scotland to use the book to create a draft, the full sentence from this edit "On 28 August 1850, Smart ended the practice of the night constables calling the hours and half hours with the exception of five and half past five." I do not know what that means. Sahaib (talk) 17:38, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I think ALT2 is OK. It used to be that wathchmen and the like would call out the hours of the clock; like the trope you see in old mediaeval films: "Six o'clock and all's well". That the Glasgow police did it is confirmed by p170 of Alison, Robert (1892). The Anecdotage of Glasgow: Comprising Anecdotes and Anecdotal Incidents of the City of Glasgow and Glasgow Personages. T. D. Morrison.. I think you could stick with "calling" or use "announcing" - Dumelow (talk) 17:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    All the better for views if you ask me, but technically that hook would be about dog meat and thus it would fail WP:DYKHOOKSTYLE, so with regret I've struck it. ALT0 is available for review; might have a rummage for hooks myself. (Also, that image of 'a female dog nursing' is adorable.)--Launchballer 19:28, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm doing a tick to make clear that this comment is not an objection, but just excerpts from the two sources verifying the hook fact. The earlier article says, "The researchers determined that dogs were probably domesticated from now-extinct wolves between 11,000 and 16,000 years ago — before humans began farming around 10,000 years ago."[6] and the more recent article pushes this timeline back further,[7] "Dogs were the first domesticated species and the only animal known to enter into a domestic relationship with people during the Pleistocene [...] dogs were domesticated in Siberia by 23,000 years ago, possibly while both people and wolves were isolated during the harsh climate of the Last Glacial Maximum. Dogs then accompanied the first people into the Americas and traveled with them as humans rapidly dispersed into the continent beginning 15,000 years ago [...] The earliest generally accepted dog dates to 15 ka (from the site of Bonn-Oberkassel, discussed below). However, claims for the existence of domestic dogs as early as 40 ka (22–28) have been made on the basis of morphological (22, 24–27), isotopic (22, 29), genetic (22, 28, 30), and contextual assessments (24, 31) of ancient canid remains. Yet, none of these potential domestication markers is fail-safe, owing to the fact that wolves and early domesticated dogs can be difficult to distinguish from each other."

    QPQ: Done.

    Overall: Article was expanded more than 5x, (from 314 to 9854 characters) within the allotted seven-day limit.[8] Earwig shows no outstanding issues, but some similar wording of common phrases. I don't think this is a problem. The article is sourced and neutral, however, I did take exception to minor issues, which I have noted in a separate section on the main article talk page. After thinking about it, I do not believe these issues rise to the level of interfering with the current DYK nomination. My main problem in that regard is that the material is slightly selective and excessively bland based on the sources which are anything but (for example, the Zink 2024 publication linked above is written in an incredibly interesting and exciting format, and many of the main points found there did not make their way into this article). As for the hooks, I have no real preference, but they all check out. I have struck ALT2 as it needs to be rewritten ("a pottery's presence" makes no sense). So in lieu of new hooks, I approve ALT0 and ALT1, which I have confirmed in the sources. ALT1 adds a bit more than appears in the current article, but this is implied by the existing text and I don't think that should hold it up. Per comments below, ALT2 is back in play, which I evidently misread in my haste to write a review. My apologies. Viriditas (talk) 09:11, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Lbal: could you make ALT1 slightly more explicit in the article? I agree with Viriditas that it can be inferred that the slaves were fugitives and hiding in the tunnel but would be hesitant to promote it with those stated in the hook but explicitly in the article where the citations are.

    @Viriditas: I am active! Haven't been getting notifications for some reason. I would like to point out "pottery" in ALT2 refers to a pottery shop, the sources use a more antiquated term for it. Would rephrasing it that way put ALT2 back in commission? I can make the requested change for ALT1 in the article.

    Yeah, that makes sense. I restored it and crossed out my comments. Viriditas (talk) 03:51, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      The above source was published on 11 July 1984. Chiu Yuh-chuan competed in the 1984 Summer Olympics, which took place between 28 July and 12 August 1984. The article notes:

      屏東縣唯一入選一九八四年奧運國家代表隊的舉重國手邱毓川，五次打破全國紀錄獲頒多面中正體育獎章，但自省立體專畢業迄今一年多卻苦於一職難求，經報導後，台北市慶宜股份有限公司深表同情，昨日特打長途電話到本報屏東採訪辦事處，表示願主動提供工作機會，解決邱毓川就職問題，熱忱感人。

      台北市慶宜貿易有限公司進口科長李聰哲在電話中表示，該公司經營多種商品貿易，為一頗具規模公司，因閱報獲知舉重國手邱毓川一職難求困境，基於為國家培育選手立場，願提供推廣企劃工作機會，除每月待遇一萬八千元左右外，并有業績獎金制度，只要邱毓川願意屈就，該公司竭誠歡迎。

      From Google Translate:

      Chiu Yuh-chuan, the only national weightlifter from Pingtung County to be selected for the 1984 Olympics national team, broke national records five times and was awarded multiple Chiang Kai-shek Sports Medals. However, it has been more than a year since he graduated from the provincial three-dimensional college and he has been struggling to find a job. After reports, Taipei City Qingyi Co., Ltd. expresses its deep sympathy. Yesterday, it made a long-distance call to the Pingtung office of this newspaper to interview and expressed its willingness to proactively provide job opportunities to solve Chiu Yuh-chuan's employment problem. The enthusiasm was touching.

      Li Congzhe, the import section chief of Taipei City Qingyi Trading Co., Ltd., said on the phone that the company is engaged in the trade of a variety of commodities and is a large-scale company. After reading the newspaper, he learned that the national weightlifter Chiu Yuh-chuan was in a difficult position. Based on the stance of cultivating athletes for the country, The company is willing to provide marketing and planning work opportunities. In addition to a monthly salary of about 18,000 yuan, there is also a performance bonus system. As long as Chiu Yuh-chuan is willing to give in, the company wholeheartedly welcomes him.

    • Will be claiming this for review and hope to get to it soon. Among the two hooks, ALT1 is probably the more unusual or interesting once since it's less reliant on NHL knowledge (and thus specialist knowledge), although I would suggest also putting "sports broadcaster" before her name. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:23, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination, and I didn't find any close paraphrasing. A QPQ has been completed. Both hooks are cited inline and verified (I am accepting the use of Facebook and Twitter as the FB link is the official Kings page and the Twitter link is her own, so meets the guidelines at WP:SPS). As mentioned above, the second hook is the better hook as it's less reliant on familiarity with the NHL or ice hockey. Good to go.

    • Hi CitrusHemlock, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 30 October and far exceeds minimum length; it is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable (largely offline) sources; I didn't pick up on any issues with overly close paraphrasing; image is obviously magnificent and PD by virtue of age; no QPQ is required as nominator has only one prior DYK credit; ALT01 is stated in the article and checks out to source cited. I have struck ALT1 as the article states there is doubt that Regulus himself appears in the piece and ALT2 as the article only says that "Gilbert claims" the driving in of the paint was done. Happy to consider alternative hooks if you want to suggest any? - Dumelow (talk) 14:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dumelow: Thanks for reviewing the nom so quickly! I was a bit sloppy with the phrasing of the ALTs, the first could probably be rephraised to "...that the painting Regulus is based on a Roman general who was blinded by the sun?" and the second "...that J. M. W. Turner reportedly repainted Regulus by "driving" white paint into the center of the canvas?" Regardless, the stabbing is the most compelling hook in my opinion, but any of them would work well.

    Interesting painting, covered well and detailed on fine sources, subscription sources accepted AGF. I am less happy with the hook. My understanding - which of course may be wrong - is not that they found it too modern, but that they thought those who had bought it earlier should have found it too modern, which is a completely different thing. I would prefer to get a bit more info in the hook about the subject than "a 1914 painting" - painter, style, subject, whatever. The title alone didn't prepare me for the beautiful thing I saw, and the hook would not have made me look, - it was your name that hooked me ;) - If you still want that hook, I'll approve it, of course. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:06, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Gerda Arendt: This controversy is covered by the NYT,[14] so I won't go into it too much here other than to say that this subject, American Impressionist Childe Hassam (1859–1935), was called "conservative to the core" by New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl in 2004, and that is the accepted opinion by art historians. To address this slightly further, Hassam embraced an older, antiquated kind of modernism dating to about the 1870s, which represented the art of the generation before him. Ironically by the time the American art world accepted Hassam as status quo, perhaps by the time of the Armory Show of 1913 or thereabouts, the time of the American Impressionists had come and gone. Hassam was on record expressing his extreme displeasure at the ascendancy of the new Cubism, so his conservativsm as an artist was well known. I won't go into Hassam's social conservatism, as there is quite a bit written on that subject, similar to that of Renoir, and it's somewhat separate from his conservative approach to art. The quirky nature of the hook is centered around a 110-year-old painting by an artist who vocally objected to the trajectory of modern art in 1913 and yet was considered "too modern" by Valparaiso University in 2024 based on a specious legal argument that hinges on the definition and interpretation of "conservative" art, a definition that is disputed by art historians and legal experts. I should like to add one final thing: while writing a series of articles about this topic, I found that the legal argument made by Valparaiso University doesn't hold up based on the history of art. It turns out that the techniques and philosophy found in the Hudson River School, attributed to its founder Thomas Cole, which forms the underlying basis of Valparaiso's argument that Hassam's work is too modern to be included in the university collection, are in fact, almost identical to the working technique and philosophy of Childe Hassam. I laughed out loud when I realized this (and I think I woke up my neighbors at 2 AM) because it means Valparaiso's case should never have been approved by the courts. It turns out that Hassam used the same technique that Cole talks about in the 1840s and 1850s. This involves "creating compositions of both representational and imaginative landscapes, where the artist creates a fusion of what is both in the natural world and in the mind on the canvas". Hassam famously did this throughout his career, most notably in the painting Point Lobos, Carmel (1914) to such an extent, that the artist he was working with, Francis McComas (1874-1938), had a fit and complained to his wife about Hassam's conservative, anti-modernist approach, and the incident made its way into the history books. To summarize: I think it's possible you missed the point I was making. With that said, I am open to creating new hooks as always. Viriditas (talk) 00:40, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Darth Stabro, review follows: article promoted to GA on 3 November; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources in a spot check; hook fact is interesting, stated in article and supported by citations (I note one source says "almost 10,000" and one says "more than 10,000" so I think you are OK just stating 10,000); a QPQ has been carried out; my only query is on the image: do you have confirmation that it is a work of a US military person, I couldn't see anything in the source? It is likely to be the case but we should confirm - Dumelow (talk) 18:54, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I use the term global to mean a tournament open to worldwide/global contestants. Such tournaments select honorary teams to recognize the best performers in the tournament. These teams are called all-tournament teams and the players chosen are honorees.

    Overall: The article exceeds the 1,500-character minimum of readable prose. The information is succinct and informative, written in a neutral tone, with no apparent bias or promotional language. While the article is sourced adequately, it could benefit from a few more inline citations in the "Notable burials" section (Please note that all of the individuals listed can be verified via their respective Wikipedia pages, but citations linking to reliable secondary sources would strengthen the section). I checked for potential plagiarism or close paraphrasing using online tools, and the content seems original. I noticed the DYK submission currently lacks an image, the free image in the article would enhance the article's visual appeal and could engage readers more effectively. A nice read, all three hooks are valid and more or less interesting. For me it's good to go. el.ziade (talkallam) 13:29, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The article is quite long and very well written so I can excuse the fact that it is not quite as fresh as it should be. I am more concerned about the fact that I can find almost nothing about this woman via Google, Google Books, or Google Scholar that was not published after the French Wikipedia's article about her. It seems so unlikely that the first woman to stand as a candidate for president of France should be so little known. I was able to find just enough to ascertain that she did indeed exist, but I am still a bit uneasy. MumphingSquirrel, do you have access to the 1910s sources cited in the article?

    • Interesting hook but slight problems that could be resolved before I can complete a final confirmation for it to be approved for DYK. Overall the article has no copyright problems and both the hooks are mentioned in the article. But the problem is related to how the hooks are mentioned in the article. As I see when it comes to ALT1, it mentions that ' that Gail Damerow's book described by the New York Times as the "authoritative book on ice cream" was created because of the lack of good recipes in her ice cream maker's recipe booklet?. However in the article where the hook ('Awards and Honors') is mentioned, it just states 'described by The New York Times as the authoritative book on ice cream'. Hope you can fix this issue by adding more of the ALT1's fact here. The first hook is fine. So just fix the stated issue and after that I can give green light for your article for DYK. - Toadboy123 (talk) 09:54, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Toadboy123, do you mean the part of the hook on why the book was created? Because that's in the beginning of the Career section, with the source I gave above. SilverserenC 22:45, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Silver seren I suggest that you mention the hook also in the 'Awards and Honors' section so that readers can easily notice it when they read the article. - Toadboy123 (talk) 13:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Toadboy123, I wasn't aware of that being a requirement for hooks? I've had a number of hooks that involved multiple parts of an article. And the info about the inspiration for the book doesn't really fit in an Awards section, particularly since it has to do with events in her life and where she was living.

    • @Czarking0: I'll start by addressing WP:DYKNEW. This article last appeared at In the news on 12 April 2011, and the on this day on 11 March 2023. This was over one year ago, so it can go on the main page again.
    The article recently became a good article so it is eligible for DYK. Earwig's is not working so i'll assume good faith when it comes to copyvios. QPQ not needed.
    I'll review ALT0 (I think it is the most interesting). The hook matches the article.
    I'm worried about the source for this hook because it is a preliminary report, which uses predictions of health effects rather than observations. It also doesn't say about the evacuations and also says In the highest dose location ... For leukaemia, the lifetime risks are predicted to increase by up to around 7% over baseline cancer rates in males exposed as infants However, a 2020 source says that No adverse health effects among Fukushima residents have been documented that are directly attributable to radiation exposure from the FDNPS accident.

If there is a problem, I cannot find it. Thank you. Cardofk (talk) 21:32, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article is fine in every respect (long enough, well-written and recently enough promoted to GA), and the hook is good, but it is not backed up by the wording in the article. In the article it simply says that the standards are "much longer" than the body, now "twice the length". There should also be an inline citation supporting the claim directly after the sentence in which it is made. It's a small fix, after which the article should be ready for DYK. Yakikaki (talk) 22:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      I believe that the length given of a broad secondary flight feather[4] on each wing elongated to up to 53.5 centimetres makes sense to describe as "twice the length of its body" since earlier the bird's length is given as this medium-sized (20–23 centimetres (7.9–9.1 in) long) nightjar and 53.5÷2=26.75 > 23 cm. Though since it's "up to" I could see justifying adding "that can be" after "wing ornament" in the hook. Additionally the quote in the source describes the bird's body as "21-22 cm" and immediately after gives a minimum length of 45 cm with the standards. I could change it to say directly in the article "over twice the length" instead of just "much longer" though. Reconrabbit 00:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, I wasn't arguing that the facts were not in the article or not supported by the inline citations. DYK used to have a rule, though, which stated "The facts of the hook need to appear in the article with a citation no later than at the end of the sentences in which they appear." However I see now that the rules have changed and become more flexible, and I can therefore happily drop this minor objection and give the green light to the article. Nice work!

Can I suggest that prep promoters sit tight for a few days to see whether the zoo would like to make a photo available? Panamitsu, maybe you'd enjoy giving Magill's bio a bit of a tidy up – it could certainly do with one. Schwede66 08:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      • @Thriley and Olympian: This is a really interesting subject. I have several concerns for WP:DYKCOMPLETE and WP:NPOV before promotion:
        • Until World War I, the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire controlled the Caucasus, and both collapsed during the war. At least some mention of this would help readers unfamiliar with the region understand the situation better. Right now, I only see this hinted at with "attaining independence from Russia".
        • Regarding "In 1920, the region [Zangezur] was invaded by units of the Red Army" why is this in the background, when it discusses events events after the agreement is signed?
        • Regarding "In March 1920, the local Armenians revolted with the support of Armenia" the same as above, why include this in the background section?
        • Saparov (2014) mentions militias in Nagorno-Karabakh throughout this conflict, I don't see these mentioned in the Wikipedia article. So when it says "the local Armenians", is this referring a widespread uprising or an ongoing military conflict with those militia groups?
        • The article quotes a historian saying the agreement was "basically a declaration of intent". Can this article expand on that? What is a declaration of intent? Do historians find evidence that either side intended to build any kind of long-term diplomatic relationship from this? The "Aftermath" section seems to imply the opposite.
        • Does the Red Army invasion of Azerbaijan render this agreement moot? It occurs just weeks after the final line of the "Aftermath" section.

    • This is currently only a partial review as I'm having issues with Earwig at the moment so I am unable to check for close paraphrasing. The article is new enough and long enough. It is adequately sourced. A full QPQ was performed. Among the hooks, ALT5 is definitely the most intriguing and thus the best option. The Newspaper.com link is paywalled for me so I will assume good faith regarding the quote. I do suspect that there could be opposition to it on WP:DYKGRAT grounds, but that's counting the chickens before they hatch, so let's cross the bridge if/when we get there.

    • Comment: While there's no hard rule or guideline discouraging it, best practice is to try and avoid superlatives if possible because as it turns out, the claim that x is first with y tends to be disputed, controversial, or a matter of opinion in many cases. I'm not sure how to best word it, so perhaps User:RoySmith would care to correct me. Viriditas (talk) 23:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • The way I generally approach these is to consider how reliable the record keeping is and especially if it's possible to enumerate all the possible other examples and show that this one must be first. So, it's a safe statement to say that Neil Armstrong was the first person on the moon because I have exceptional confidence that somebody didn't get there before him and somehow the record of that just got lost. Not so with this example. I'd recommend this be qualified with something like "is believed to be", "the first recorded", or something like that. I've been slowly working on an essay on this topic. It's not complete, but User:RoySmith/essays/First is worst may provide some value. RoySmith (talk) 00:20, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Yakikaki: I planned to review this and request new hooks per the above, but it failed the very first spot check. I made the change in the article.[20] Please take a moment to review the article and make sure the text to source integrity holds up. Viriditas (talk) 08:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Viriditas:, @RoySmith: Thanks both for engaging in this review and trying to improve it and the article. First of all, regarding the minor change to the article concerning Mollyn's father and his printing activities in Antwerp: fair enough, the revised wording is closer to the source. I do in general try to avoid phrasing which is too close to the source, as this can be a copyvio issue. In this case I think I also got a bit confused because Mollyn junior was in the same situation later, which is described in detail in the next page of the same article, and since he doubtlessly DID print religious material critical to the Catholic church I made a minor mix-up. So thanks for spotting that. Now to the question of the claim in the hook. Well, I can live with "the first recorded" by all means. I would however like to underline that the claim that he was the first printer in Riga has been put forward at least since 1795 (but of course, since I try to be a serious Wikipedia editor, I would not dream of using a source from 1795 in the actual article) and has not been contested. In fact, all sources – reasonable, academic sources – I've been able to find on the subject confirm the claim. It is not an outlandish or grotesque claim. In fact, it used to be precisely the kind of things one was encouraged to put in DYKs (provided, of course it was properly supported). I understand that in some other cases there may have slipped through one or two claims in DYK which were on closer inspection quite fanciful (and, perhaps, politically motivated or in general sensationalist). I would argue that this is not the case here, and that we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath-water. Yakikaki (talk) 14:00, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Viriditas:, @RoySmith: A small addendum: comparing the claim in the hook here with the examples given in Roy's draft essay, I would say this one is comparable, at worst, to the Roger Bannister example. The history of early printing is a thoroughly researched area. We have a good idea at the pace in which printing spread through Europe and 1588 seems in no way unreasonable for the first printing press to have been set up in Riga. Furthermore, it was an undertaking which required financial muscles and was something of a major event in the history of a city, so it usually left a mark in archives etc. So all in all, again, the claim is not extravagant or strange. It is certainly very far from the example of the pub with the traffic lights (a peculiar claim to fame indeed!). Sorry for my wordy replies here but I thought it best to put forward my thoughts and reasoning, to let you know that it wasn't a proposal I hatched on a whim.

First of all, thanks for writing up Fen Juhua, a red link I came across while working on Stephen Tung and wanted to remove for some time. Both articles are well-written and well-sourced, and Earwig shows no copyvio. I would accept ALT0 since it is supported by the source, and the literal translation of "女俠" is indeed somewhat akin to "lady knight". In fact, "lady knight" is certainly more eye-catching than simply "martial artist". So I am satisfied with ALT0. Both articles were nominated on time. Two QPQs done.

    Overall: Article is quite fine; it is long enough and new enough. No copyright violations detected. There is half a good hook in the proposed ALT0. The reference to Kodály should be dropped as it won't mean anything to the average person reading this hook. The implication of a causal relationship between Hartmann's inner emigration and the eventual date of this work's completion isn't quite confirmed in the article. According to this study by Andrew McCredie, the work's composition dates "suggest a long and possibly traumatic Entstehungsgeschich [creation history]", but that this observation cannot be confirmed because there apparently is no surviving documentation in the composer's papers. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Let me take a look at this new ALT and the sources. One moment, please... —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 18:51, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Grimes2: This ALT has new problems, the most important being the statement that Hartmann's music was "banned by the Nazis as degenerate art". According to Michael Hans Kater, this never occurred. In the chapter on Hartmann in Composers of the Nazi Era: Eight Portraits, he states (p. 93): "Nor did the [Reichsmusikkammer] or any other Nazi authorities henceforth brand his music 'atonal' or 'degenerate', as some of Hartmann's interpreters have averred." He further stated that Hartmann was evaluated positively by the RMK as late as July 1941. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 19:14, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Grimes2 and Gerda Arendt: Both of these new ALTs revisit the same problem with ALT0: they inadvertently imply a causal relationship between the various topics they touch upon. Perhaps there was; it is very likely so, but as McCredie admitted in the aforementioned JSTOR article, lack of documentation makes this impossible to confirm. Is there any way of rewording the hook to state that it was composed during this period of inner emigration, which was a response to the rise of Hitler, but without implying that the Kammerkonzert itself was also a response to this? —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 20:50, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    sorry for my absence, - I believe that the original hook simply states what happened in three different years without causal relation. I also believe that the name of Kodaly is the shortest and thus most elegant way to refer to Hungarian inspiration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The wording of the original hook inadvertently implied a relationship between the source material, inner emigration, and the work's delayed completion. I already explained the problems with ALT0, at any rate. Ideally, the hook should focus on one intriguing aspect of the work, rather than trying to fit in as much as possible. Unfortunately, material that could potentially make for the most appealing hooks appears to not be confirmed by McCredie and Kater. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 01:06, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ALT2b is good. The only changes I request is for another adjective instead of "flavored", which is imprecise when referring to music and subjective, and a hyphen to join it with the preceding word. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 19:48, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    ALT2d: ... that Karl Amadeus Hartmann finished his Kammerkonzert, a concerto for clarinet, string quartet and string orchestra, in 1935 during inner emigration?
    Please forgive me: I believe that the composer's highly unusual scoring deserves mentioning in a hook about the piece more than Hitler's seizure - if we don't have room for both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No. The instrumentation is the least appealing fact for a hook. Stravinsky, Webern, Varèse, Schoenberg, Revueltas, Popov, Shcherbachov, Hindemith, Janáček, Ives, Chávez, Lambert, Delage, Poot, Roslavets, Roldán, Bridge, and Lourié are just among a few of the composers that had already composed works for seemingly "unusual" groupings of instruments by the time Hartmann completed his Kammerkonzert—and those are just the names that immediately came to my mind. More importantly, a reader in 2024 (or 2025, depending on when this DYK runs) who is unfamiliar with classical music may likely be accustomed to even more unusual instrumental sounds because of pop music and modern sound productions. They may even already be familiar with the ear-tickling weirdness that Juan García Esquivel, Brian Wilson, and Joe Meek cultivated and were known for as far back as seventy years ago. To a reader like that, the combo of clarinet, string quartet, and string orchestra will hardly seem "unusual" and interesting. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 17:39, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for a lesson in music histor. I'm afraid I was not clear. I don't think the description of the scoring should be there because of being unusual but because I don't think that our general audience will know what a Kammerkonzert is. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:23, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please understand that I wasn't trying to lecture you. My point is that the scoring isn't anything unusual in 2024 and wasn't very so even in 1935. You also admit that the instrumentation isn't unusual. And you're right: the average reader doesn't know Hartmann's Kammerkonzert. That's the point of a hook "likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest in the topic": to pique their curiosity into clicking on the article and learn more. The historical circumstance of its creation is precisely what would likely be the most immediately intriguing aspect of the work to a general reader unfamiliar with classical music. Because they won't care about the instrumentation of musical arcana if they're not familiar with Hartmann, or the term "chamber concerto", or classical music to begin with. ALT2c is the only one that meets the threshold of WP:DYKINT, which is why it is the only one I approved. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:22, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The scoring is for clarinet, string quartet and string orchestra, quasi a clarinet quintet with string orchestra. That's unusual. But I prefer Alt2c. Grimes2 (talk) 21:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • ... that the majority of pumpkin pies (pictured) in the United States are made with the Dickinson pumpkin?
    • Source: "Dickinson pumpkins are a variety of pumpkin that is mostly grown for making canned pumpkin to use in pumpkin pie and in other baked goods. They have mildly sweet, orange flesh with a dry, dense texture. Dickinson pumpkins are members of the squash family (Cucurbitaceae), with the botanical name of Cucurbita moschata. They're a subspecies of the same squash species that includes the crookneck, butternut, and calabaza varietals, among others. It was first cultivated in Kentucky in the early 1800s by a farmer named Elijah Dickinson. Dickinson later brought the seeds to central Illinois, where they grew so prolifically that they helped launch a vegetable processing plant that was later acquired by a Chicago-based canned food company called Libby's. Libby's still grows Dickinson pumpkins in central Illinois, although they've tweaked the cultivar a bit over the years to produce a varietal that features extra dense, sweet flesh. Today, Libby's accounts for 85 percent of the canned pumpkin market, and 100 percent of what goes in those cans is their proprietary cultivar of Dickinson pumpkin." The Spruce Eats

    		+
    Washburn later lived in Lakewood, New Jersey and was a candidate for election to the US Congress for the Republican party. On 29 November 1941 he wrote to Frank Knox, a Republican serving as secretary of the Navy under Democrat president Franklin D. Roosevelt, to warn him not to underestimate the Japanese and advise that they "never do what they're expected to do". Knox passed the message onto the Chief of Naval Operations, Harold Raynsford Stark, who mailed it Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, commander of the Pacific Fleet on 2 December. The message arrived only after the Japanese had launched a surprise attack on Kimmel's fleet base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

    • Hi RoySmith, review follows: a QPQ has been carried out (in progress); article was moved to mainspace on 12 November and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources except for one paragraph which I have tagged; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources in a spotcheck on some of the online ones; Earwig comes back generally OK, though I wonder if "on 167th Street between Findlay and Teller Avenues in the Bronx" could be rephrased to avoid being identical to the source? hook fact is interesting enough, mentioned in the article and checks out to sources cited; image is OK, could be cropped a little to remove the margin. Do you have confirmation it was published prior to 1929? Noting the statement that the NY public library couldn't determine copyright of the image - Dumelow (talk) 19:21, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Dumelow Thank you for the review. I've supplied the missing citation. As for the paraphrasing, I think WP:LIMITED applies here. I tried a few rewordings, but they're all rather awkward and forced, so I'm inclined to leave it as is. I think cropping the image would be an aesthetic negative.

    The more interesting question is the provenance of the image vis-a-vis whether it is PD or not. https://www.vera.org/news/vera-schweitzer-the-vera-institutes-worthy-namesake says the image appeared in a 1931 annual report, so that's at least an upper bound for the date, admittedly 2 years shy of the 1929 magic line in the sand. Wurts Brothers was a well-known photography firm specializing in architectural work. I think it's reasonable to assume they took the photo soon after the building was completed, but I have been unable to find any hard evidence that it predates 1929.

I prefer ALT1 the most, as both the subject's kissing and smoking contributed to his departure according to the source, and omitting his band name would make it more accessible for readers who are not familiar with Kpop.

    Article length and age are fine, no copyright or plagiarism issues seen, but I am concerned about WP:N. The article states "lthough Curnow became a household name in Australia following the Glenrowan siege, today he is a relatively obscure figure in Australian history. In most plays and films about the Kelly gang, Curnow is a minor character..." -- If more information concerning the notoriety of Curnow in his own time in Australian press or society / outside of dramatic representations I think that would assist. -Maximilian775 (talk) 21:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello. I'm not sure I understand your request. I think it's clear from the article that Curnow was well known in his day. For example, his retirement 35 years after the Glenrowan siege "received press coverage throughout Australia". He hadn't sunk completely into obscurity, as much as he tried to avoid the limelight. His actions led to the downfall of arguably Australia's most famous historical person. Notability beyond dispute surely. - PastelLilac (talk) 21:07, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe you can elaborate on the Cornish association source -- I'm not sure how 1 citation shows "coverage throughout Australia", and your statement of him being a household name in Legacy bears no citations at all. I'm certainly open to being convinced of notability, but as the article currently stands in my reading it's not shown thoroughly enough. Maximilian775 (talk) 21:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Just jumping in here - per WP:NTEMP, once notability has been established, it does not need to be maintained. If he was a household name in Australia at one point in time, then he's notable enough for Wikipedia now, Maximilian775. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 21:39, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    That's a fair point, and due to my completing my initial read of the article on a smaller screen, I didn't see the portion about the Victoria Humane Society medal and the fact he had to essentially go into witness protection for a time. My apologies, PastelLilac

    With that in mind, I think the article overall is fine, but the hook could include a mention of the role he played in Kelly's capture. Maybe

      • ALT1: ... that schoolteacher Thomas Curnow (pictured) used a red scarf to stop a train from derailing, leading to the capture of notorious outlaw Ned Kelly?
    That's all good. I'm open to hook suggestions, and yours may get more clicks. Part of me takes pleasure in ignoring Ned Kelly though, considering so much has been written about him already. - PastelLilac (talk) 22:16, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article is new enough and long enough, well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, copyvio-compliant, and presentable. The hook is cited by a reliable source, <200 characters, and is interesting. QPQ is not required.
    A potential problem with the hook is that it may unduly focus on negative aspects of a living person. I personally think it is fine but I have gotten it wrong in the past so I will request a second opinion from a user better versed in DYK. Note that in this source the subject of the article is personally admitting to what is stated in the hook. GMH Melbourne (talk) 00:38, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As the GA reviewer: I would not believe it to unduly focus on the negative aspects of Sewell, given my understanding of the word, given what he does and what he is notable for. It's not like he is a well regarded person who happened to do one bad thing and we're making it the hook. It's not a crime or something that he denied doing, in any case. Just my thoughts.

    • Hi _-_Alsor, review follows: I had a quick scan through the sources and they look like news organisations, however the citations could be improved so that the name of the publication is included in the citation to make it clear to the reader; I did a spot check on verifying a claim from the source and couldn't see where this TimeOut article supported the statement "In 1974 Caeiro was working in a self-service restaurant in Lisbon called "Sir" located at Franjinhas Building on Rua Braamcamp" though that could be a failure of Google Translate, would you mind having a quick check of this (and any other sections which may not be supported)? Per WP:DYKIMG the image proposed needs to appear in the article, if you want this one it needs to be added; I would also check where you stand on freedom of panorama on 2D images, murals etc. are often still covered by copyright. The main sticking point for me is that I measure the pre-15 November version of the article at 1,222 characters and the current version at 5,656 characters. To meet the criteria of WP:DYK5X the article needs to be expanded by 5x or more, which would require an additional approx 500 characters. Do you think it is feasible to expand further? - Dumelow (talk) 11:56, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Dumelow: Hi, thanks for doing the review and for your suggestions! I would like to comment to you that:
        • About the first one, excuse me, I don't understand what you mean. That the title of the publications must be in English so that it can be understood at first? Or that some citations are simple (mainly the last ones)? I can correct both issues.
        • No, there is no mistake in the translation: the restaurant was called SIR. I will add some more references so that it can be better supported (in any case I have tried to use a better translator than Google Translate when I have needed to do so). I will also review the other citations, even though I'm sure that all the content has its respective cited source because I have made sure to do so.
        • I'm going to fix what you suggest about the image as well.
        • I will also try to expand article's content a little more and reach/exceed the missing 500 characters. Although I suspect that little more can be added...
        • Let me spend some time later today and/or tomorrow on the article. In any case I will let you know once I have made the improvements. _-_Alsor (talk) 16:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi _-_Alsor, sorry to clarify in the order of your bullet points:
    • The publications are fine in the native language; it was the simple citations that were just a link behind text that should really be expanded eg. with the publication name, author, date etc. where known
    • Sorry, it was my mistake, I was looking for the word "Caeiro" in the article not "Celeste Martins". It is there and supports what is said. If you are happy this is the case throughout the article don't worry about checking them. I normally do a spot check of a few sentences just to check they are covered by the source and if anything is awry it is often an indication of wider problems. In this case I was being a bit stupid.
    • On the image I know that if it was taken of a flat mural in the UK it would be covered by copyright and therefore not usable in DYK but laws vary around the world (but if it was a 3D sculpture for example it would be fine). I am not sure what applies in Portugal.
    • Yes, hopefully there is a little more to add to bring it over the threshold.
    • No worries, DYK folks are generally happy to give people about a week to work on their articles after nomination if there are things to resolve. I've watchlisted this page but if I don't respond to compelte the review feel free to message. All the best - Dumelow (talk) 18:22, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
              • Simple citations are no longer "simple".
              • No worries! It's an understandable confusion. I have checked the rest of citations and all is in order.
              • The new image I'm proposing looks like it could be used freely and is a Banksy mural, which, to my knowledge, is usually not copyrighted (correct me if I'm wrong). The alternative would be, although I'm not convinced, to use a photograph of a red carnation.
              • I have managed to exceed 6000 characters. I'll continue to expand a little more as I've found a source with interesting information.
              • @Dumelow: thanks again for your collaboration. _-_Alsor (talk) 18:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi _-_Alsor, expansion is now looking good. I will leave judgement on the image up to the promoter and admin when posting as I am not an expert. Citations look good. I had one query arising from one sentence:

    • "When Caeiro was 18 months old, she was admitted to the Alto do Pina Day Centre and was regularly visited by her mother. At the age of 14 she was transferred to the Asilo 28 de Maio." what are these? Schools, hospitals?

    Other than that looks fine. Hook is interesting, stated in the article and checks out to source cited. I wonder if it can be made a little more to the point - Dumelow (talk) 19:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC) ALT1: ... that Celeste Caeiro handed flowers to soldiers during Portugal's Carnation Revolution?[reply]

    • Dumelow I specified that Alto do Pina and Asilo 28 de Maio were boarding schools. Now let's see what they have to say about the image: I think it would be nice if that one was publishable. And about the altblurb you're proposing I'm not very convinced... I wouldn't want it to be understood that Caeiro only gave flowers during a revolution, but that her gesture ended up transforming the military coup into the Carnation Revolution. Perhaps:
    Hi _-_Alsor, yes that's fine. The article doesn't currently state that she was the first to hand out carnations. Can you add that (and check it is covered by the source). Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 06:09, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello Dumelow. I don't know if it is necessary to explain it, since statements like “The idea was copied and the florists donated more flowers to the mutinous soldiers. The pictures of the soldiers with carnations in their guns appeared on front pages all over the world and the coup became known globally as the Carnation Revolution “ or the headlines of the reliable sources that have been cited as "Celeste Caeiro, Whose Flowers Gave a Name to a Revolt, Dies at 91" (NYT) or "Portugal's ’Carnations Lady' who gave a name to 1974 revolution dies at 91” (Reuters) already hint at this fact. What seems clear is that we have to find a better blurb than the one we have proposed with the ideas we both have of what it should be and what other editors who want to intervene can propose. _-_Alsor (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello Dumelow, I propose another alternative blurb, taking it from the lead of Caeiro's article:
    Hi _-_Alsor, the source cited in the article says that this is one of only three possibilities for why it was called the Carnation Revolution. Do you have a better source you can replace it with that says it was definitely Caeiro's act that led to the naming? - Dumelow (talk) 09:58, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Dumelow, I have replaced this source with others that are more reliable, in English and support this fact. _-_Alsor (talk) 10:16, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A face – that of a man called Oliver Hutchinson – appeared on in a small 3.5ins by two inch picture. The Scot's first successful test of his Televisor was in 1924, when he transmitted a flickering image onto a wall ten feet away.

    Overall: Well done, thank you esp for the writing and for hunting down the sources for this bio. ALT0 -- would it be better to say "live" rather than public demonstration? The source says "live" and I'm not sure this is "public" in our current usage of the term. Might also move (pictured) after 'television' because it's a great image of that TV demo, not of the subject himself. ALT1 -- this is accurate but strikes me as an odd emphasis on the photograph rather than the pioneering step with television technology. ProfGray (talk) 15:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I have changed "public" to "live" in the article if you want to go with that. I left it a bit ambiguous with the "pictured" as I can't find a source that says this is an image of the first demonstration, it could have been taken another time and wasn't published until June. The demonstration was 26 January. Not sure how long the current backlog is but this could well run on the 99th anniversary of the event? - Dumelow (talk) 19:14, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Article was made on the 17th of this month, so is new enough. It is more than long enough and reads neutrally while properly using in-line citations. The copyvio detector finds no issues and I AGF on the translations, which appear to be accurate for the hooks as far as I can tell. Depressing hooks, but certainly fall under interesting and they are cited in-line. The QPQ has been done and the image presented is in the public domain and is visually understandable even at a small size. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 00:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi PCN02WPS, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 17 November and far exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck on sources; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 09:45, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Article is new enough (created November 18), long enough, and NPOV. Hook is undoubtedly interesting. Hook is inline cited to the Los Angeles Times, which is RS. No image. Earwig indicates copyvio unlikely (14.5%). No QPQ required. Good to go! Chetsford (talk) 22:15, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Article was promoted to GA recently enough. I'm going to trust that the GA review addressed any content and sourcing concerns. WP:EARWIG says copyvio is unlikely. All three hooks are good, but the latter two might be a bit wordy and verbose, and the first one is punchier. This seems good to go to me! Di (they-them) (talk) 05:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Darth Stabro, review follows: hook fact is interesting, mentioned in article and checks out to source cited; article created 19 November and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable enough sources for the subject (the rectors section is not cited but only includes information stated elsewhere in the article); I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources in a spotcheck; a QPQ is in progress.

    The tornado seen from Andover City Hall
    • Hi @EF5:, review follows: article created 19 November and exceeds minimum length; article is well enough written and generally cited throughout, I've tagged a few instances where it is not; I am no tornado expert but the sources used look to be reliable for the subject; I noted that the "Meteorological synopsis" section is copy pasted from the source, but that this is from the federal NOAA so is PD; hook fact is interesting, stated in the article and checks out to sources; a QPQ has been carried out; image is OK but I wonder if the video could appear instead; they tend to do well at DYK. If you can address the citations needed I think this should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 09:54, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I was actually just about to upload that video, but it appears that someone got to it first. Yes, that video would be much better. I’ll get to the citations in a bit. EF5 13:02, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dumelow: All CNs have been addressed. The stuff in the lede is cited in the main prose, same goes with infobox content. EF5 13:36, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks @EF5:. Looks good to go - Dumelow (talk) 13:45, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Chetsford, great idea for an article. Review: created 21 November and exceeds minimum length; sources used look generally reliable (I am not sure about destroyerhistory.org but it is only used to cite the complement of the destroyer involved); article is fully cited inline; I don't have access to all the sources but didn't pick up on any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; Earwig score is high but only because of the quoted article form the convention (which is PD and appropriate); image is PD (source states from Department of Defense); I can't access the sources cited for the hook but it is stated in the article so I will AGF; QPQ awaited but otherwise looks good - Dumelow (talk) 21:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, Dumelow - QPQ now done! (For Destroyer History - I did some research on it a couple years ago and posed a question at RSN [30]. It didn't get much interest/response, unfortunately.) Chetsford (talk) 22:15, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Looks good. I think the additional info you've provided at RSN helps demonstrate reliability - Dumelow (talk) 06:15, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
