Creation of DYK Hall of Fame

I created the DYK Hall of Fame as a result of the discussion here. I placed ALoan's name on the page since it is likely that he will be there anyway with a total of 180+ awards and to give an idea of how the page might be structured. In addition to recognizing the number of DYK awards received, there is a DYK Participation section. This is meant for those individuals who have made noteworthy contributions to the advancement the DYK project. This may include those who have been participating for years in DYK or have made significant, insightful advancements to the DYK project. Editors may be added directly by number of awards whereas addition to the DYK Participation section requires discussion below. -- Jreferee 16:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Triple Crown

I have 1 FL, 4 FA's, 11 GA's and 35 DYK's, but I don't have a Triple Crown :( Tony the Marine (talk) 21:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

18 in one day? 25 at once?

Is it unusual to have 18 (12+6) DYK credits in one day? I don't really know who has had what so maybe this isn't so strange. Also, what about nominating 25 (new) articles at once? Maybe someone has nominated 25 before but have they all been new? I wonder what to do or if such things have any place here... there doesn't appear to be a list for either so they must be common enough. I see I'm giving this page it's now annual addition. I wonder who will drop by in 2010... --can dle •wicke 14:01, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tidying

Hi all,
I'm concerned that the "DYK hooks with 5 or more articles" table is getting excessively long. Now that somebody's set a new record of 54 articles, I think there's not much point in having a very long tail of 5- and 6-article DYKs. What do you think? bobrayner (talk) 11:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? bobrayner (talk) 09:39, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, I think that people taking the effort to put 5 articles in a hook should not be discouraged from doing so because it makes the HoF list too long. I think if you feel it's getting too long, it could be put in it's own subpage (ie. for a full list see xxxxx) The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:41, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the C of E. We should list 5+ article hooks on a separate page if the table is too long and not "move the goal post" for future hall of fame aspirees. Abyssal (talk) 22:17, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
