  • Mostly looks good; I added a link to college basketball for good measure. The "had played" indicating the start of his father's career is a little cheeky, but it's not wrong so I'm cool with it. Article long enough, sources are solid, no copyvio concerns, hook is interesting. The first source is solidly cited inline in the article, but the second source is only cited for other information in the article. So you should either cite this newspaper source for the DYK, or change the citation in the article to cite the "Old heads" article for the "over 60 years earlier" sentence. Good stuff overall! (also for transparency this is my first time reviewing a DYK, hope I'm not doing anything disastrously wrong) BanjoZebra (talk) 16:03, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Approving ALT0. Article is long enough and was created same day as DYK nomination. Article is presentable, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. Both hooks are sourced; personally, I find ALT0 far more interesting than ALT1. QPQ done. Image meets criteria. Overall, nothing there for me to comment on. Thank you for your nomination Chris!

  • Review: Newly expanded article from a redirect meeting the required length size of prose. BLP is notable to exist as a standalone article now passing WP:ARTIST. No apparent copyvios. QPQ done. Rest article seems fine. Problem comes with only the fact that this is a synthesis and hence not perfectly verifiable. Do we have any another source mentioning her to be the first woman winner without a dog? Or else, do we have anything else from the article to a new hook? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:52, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unsure what "credited" means in the hook. Were the women of Attraction (group) (series 7) not credited Launchballer? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Their names don't appear in the act's name in the same way that, say, Ashleigh appears in Ashleigh and Pudsey.--Launchballer 00:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think "credited" can be used that way. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see that source. Googling 'credit define' gives one definition of 'publicly acknowledge a contributor's role in the production of (something published or broadcast)' - is there not a similar definition in the OED source? And if not, how would you convey this information? (HuffPost, the piece used in the article, says "the only solo woman to ever triumph on BGT without the aid of a dog sidekick", but I would argue that "Ashleigh and Pudsey" is quite clearly a double act.)--Launchballer 10:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "the whole history of Texas and all its leading personages in a perfect hodgepodge", so true! Article is x5 expanded and long enough. It appears well-sourced, although I seemingly do not have access to many of the sources. QPQ done. As for plagiarism, none found so far. I do have access to one of the two sources used for the hook paragraph (second paragraph of Production and distribution). A couple of points due to this. Firstly, Senator Connally only raised five versions, it becomes 15 only because of nerds and mintmarks and the source does not state that Connally was aware of this (indeed the source is a second-hand account from Connally's secretary). The article also says that Senator Alva B. Adams opposed the bill, but this opposition is not explicit in the source (although Adams is clearly fully up on his coin knowledge). May work through some other paragraphs later, focused on this as it is the sole proposed hook.
    As a separate note regarding the mintage table, the way the Assay coins are positioned implies they are included in the net calculations, but they do not seem to be. Also unsure what common practice is in these articles at the moment, but if the coins were intended to be non-circulating this should be stated explicitly, especially in the modern era when there are actually five (mintmarked up to 10) commemorative circulating quarters each year. CMD (talk) 02:05, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Chipmunkdavis: Thank you so much for such a thorough review! I intend to bring this to GAN pretty soon, and you've already done half my work for me. I made some fixes, esp. to emphasize that it wasn't a circulating coin. Would adding an "inadvertently" between suggested and minting work for the hook? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 02:31, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thank you for the fixes. I'm really not in favor of trying to find a technical way to get Senator Connally on record for something he didn't say, and I don't think it's more hooky at any rate. Just "five separate versions to increase sales" conveys the intention of the hook. CMD (talk) 02:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1: that when sales slowed on the Texas Centennial half dollar, Senator Tom Connally suggested minting 5 separate versions every year?
I'm not sold on "every year", for similar reasons as above. Decided to spot-check the other uses of Bowers as I have access. Not sure what it is being used for in the second paragraph of Inception. Its use in the first sentence of Production and distribution supports part of the sentence, based on the presence of the second source I assume the rest comes from that, and the use checks out without found plagiarism for the rest of that paragraph. All other uses check out. CMD (talk) 03:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Generalissima: Following up here, aiming to get a hook that won't get sent to ERRORS, which has been more stringent over the past couple of weeks. CMD (talk) 13:50, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reviewed:
  • Comment: The citation for the first hook doesn't actually mention the name "Hedva and David", but it does say "the name Naomi comes from the hit song 'Naomi in a Dream,' sung by an Israeli mixed duet at the time." (Of course, I'm translating this from Korean, so the title won't match up 100%, but 꿈속의 나오미 is what the song was titled in Korea) Also I could cut the "South" in South Korean if it's obvious enough she's not from the North.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Korean-language sources were checked for close paraphrasing; no issues arose. I strongly prefer the original hook over ALT1. I do not think that the lack of an explicit mention of the Israeli duo's name in the original Korean source is a significant problem. If the promoter does deem it so, however, the hook could be reworded like so:

ALT2: ... that South Korean actress Na O-mi's stage name was inspired by the song 'I Dream of Naomi'?

I also added "the song" and "singing duo" to the original hook for clarity's sake.

... that South Korean actress Na O-mi's stage name was inspired by the song "I Dream of Naomi" by Israeli singing duo Hedva and David?

I hope this nomination succeeds. Yue🌙 21:50, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For clarity's sake, I am adding the label "ALT2" to the hook that the nominator is talking about above. I restored the nominator's original hook after their comment above, so the comment may no longer make sense. Yue🌙 03:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
