This page holds approved nominations that are waiting to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page. Following DYK approval, nominations are processed and moved into a Prep area, and from there, prep sets are promoted to a queue, and then to the main page.

To create a new nomination or to see those that are yet to be approved, see Template talk:Did you know. For the discussion page see WT:DYK. Click on the link to go directly to the Special occasion holding area.

  If some of the nominations are not showing up properly at the bottom of the page, these alternative pages can be used to view a subset of the most recent nominations.

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.

  • Hi BeanieFan11, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 11 June and exceeds minimum length; article is generally well written (I couldn't parse "was named first-team All-State, All-Metro and to the Lincoln Journal Star's Super-State Team" but might just be my ignorance of basketball?); sources cited look to be reliable enough, though I am not familiar with them; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing from a spot check; hook fact is interesting enough for me, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited.

  • Clear at 100px: No - Personally I feel at 100px the current image is too wide to be useful for this nomination. I would suggest changing it for either the Brossier/Bol photo from the 400m semi or the Lehikoinen/Bol photo from the 400m hurdles final, but I will also leave this up to the promoter if they feel differently.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Both articles' prose meets 5x expansion. Readable prose on both also surpasses the target. Generally well sourced and well written, hook is also cited and interesting. Images are free, however some issues regarding the selected image (see above). 2 QPQs done to match the double bold articles. Besides potentially swapping the image out for another I'm happy to pass the DYK for these articles. Great job! Sims2aholic8 (talk) 09:56, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a crop of the above. Not a square; this looks better (I looked at a square crop first). Schwede66 02:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes

QPQ: Done.

Overall: As noted above, the lede should be beefed up before this hits the main page. Also, given the recent RFC, I'm not sure focusing on the negative aspects of this BLP (i.e., the goat head protest), is going to fly on the main page. It's a very interesting fact, and supported by Liputan6, but something else may work better in the current climate.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:16, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is not what an underdog is (someone expected to lose), and in either case you'd need an end-of-sentence citation for it.--Launchballer 18:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Alright then, change of hook. ALT4: "... that the regent of Bekasi, Saleh Manaf, was protested by his own local environment service?" quote from: this one, ref no. 14 Beberapa waktu yang lalu, Dinas Kebersihan Kabupaten Bekasi sebenarnya sudah mengirimkan surat protes kepada Bupati Bekasi, meminta pertanggung-jawaban bupati terhadap dampak lingkungan dan akibat sampah yang dibuang truk pengangkut sampah.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Xoak: The article is new enough, as it was created on May 16 and nominated on May 17. It is long enough. There is a source appended to every paragraph. It is written with a neutral, encyclopedic tone, and the hooks are cited properly and are interesting. (The angle of ALT0 is evidently that Cole being devout, a contemporary reader might expect her to support church control of the university; instead, she considered the university's independence important enough to financially support. The angle of ALT1 is simply that she was a fiscally abundant benefactor.) I am presuming good faith about content cited to Tinling (1986) to which I don't have ready access as well as about content cited to Cole (2007) as I don't have a means of accessing the work's first volume (I checked Open Library but was only able to borrow volume 3 of Dictionary of Women Worldwide: 25,000 Women Through the Ages ). There are, however, seven six matters about which I seek resolution prior to approving the nomination:

First, Cole (2007) is credited to Anna Russell Cole according to your citation. Is the content on page 413 of Dictionary of Women Worldwide a (posthumously published) autobiography by Cole? Or is the name of the author just a particularly unusual coincidence? Or is this a citation reference formatting issue?

Second, Upon returning to Augusta, Cole taught French and German at a local girls' school may constitute close paraphrasing of On returning to Augusta, Russell taught French and German at a local girls’ school (Turner 2000). If you consider this information necessary to include, is there a way to rephrase or reorganize so as to not so closely paraphrase?

Third, the article states Edmund Cole had five children from a previous marriage. However, Radcliffe College (1971) calls him a widower with seven children at the time of his marriage to Anna Russell Cole, sounding like he had the seven children at the time of the marriage.

Fourth, I can't help but think that the article should explain that"Colemere" was the name/nickname of Anna Russell Cole's house in Nashville. I also think her death place should just be given as Nashville; infoboxes seem usually just name municipal locations, not the specific buildings of one's death.

Fifth, the sentence Cole supported international peace efforts, attending a conference in Vienna in 1916, writing an editorial for the Nashville Tennessean in support of Woodrow Wilson, and donating $2,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 1920 makes it sound as though the Wilson editorial and DNC donations were a subset of her international peace efforts. However, Turner (2000) frames it almost the other way: her international peace activism was a subset of her support for Woodrow Wilson. I'm also concerned that this may be too close a paraphrase and would be grateful for some alternative presentation of the information.

Sixth, She also had an interest in the arts and was a patron of various cultural institutions. is cited to Turner (2000) but I can't seem to verify it in that source. I can accept the possibility that my eyes are somehow glazing past it; I just would appreciate the verification being pointed out to me, or a quotation provided.

Seventh, I have questions about the copyright status of the image selected, as it appears to be a portrait painting hung on a wall. As WP:PUBLICDOMAIN explains, [b]ecause an artwork is not published by being exhibited, and also neither by being created or sold, one needs to know when reproductions of the artwork (photos, postcards, lithographs, casts of statues, and so on) were first published. That constitutes publication of the artwork, and from then on, the work is subject to all the rules for published works. The upload on Wikimedia Commons was certainly made in good faith, but it doesn't establish when the work was published in a manner that would clarify its copyright status. Although works created by creators who died more than 70 years ago fall into the public domain if they are only first published after 2003, the source for the image, the Tennessee Portrait Project, reports that it was digitally compiling portraits as early as January 2003, meaning it's not for sure whether the work was published during or after 2003. Evidence for the image's public domain status needs to be provided, or it needs to be relicensed as fair non-free use (because Cole is dead and it is not possible to get a better image of her without just copying this portrait which would be worse to do) and excluded from the hook. [I have struck the seventh matter on discovering I slightly misread c:File:PD-US_table.svg and WP:PUBLICDOMAIN, which states that works by creators who died more than 70 years ago fall into the public domain if they are first published after 2002. As the Tennessee Portrait Project's earliest documentation of portraits was January 2003, this places it after 2002 and therefore means the portrait is in the public domain.

While these matters are several, the article's in otherwise good shape. I'll be happy to approve the nomination once these are resolved.

Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 04:25, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ah, that turn of events is too bad. I guess maybe Xoak thought the review would wrap up before their break started but then that didn't happen. I don't suppose there's any way around this? Could some other user take on responsibility for the nomination/making the needed fixes? I mean, I could probably make the fixes, just by rewriting the CLOP parts and cutting the unverified sentence.
    (Also, you stated that you're marking it as closed, but it seems to not be? In the sense that there's no green box around this; there's just the delete icon you added?) Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 20:36, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hydrangeans: If you're happy to adopt this nomination, I am happy to review it.--Launchballer 08:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: I'm happy to adopt the nomination. I just went over the article, and I think I've fixed everything I identified in my own review. I was even able to access Dictionary of Women Worldwide (and it turns out "Cole (2007)" was an encyclopedic entry titled "Cole, Anna Russell") and do some verification checking for portions cited to that. Thanks for being willing to review the nomination while I adopt it, and let me know if there's anything else to address. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 15:39, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think they have been as well. I prefer ALT1 and AGF that one. Long enough, new enough. No copyright concerns, no maintence templates deserved.

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:24, 20 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • The clause adds interest, but I wonder if a snappier and more concise version of the hook also works:
  • ALT1 ... that the 2023 American novel Flyover has been published in French but not yet in English?
Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: My review follows:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is new enough (created May 17 and nominated May 20), and it's long enough. It's in a complete state, and it neutrally covers the topic, citing a range of relevant periodicals reviewing and covering the topic. Earwig detects minimal overlap with other texts, and spot checking indicates what overlaps there are rise from quotations, proper names, and common terms (like "intelligence agencies"). I read the Irish Times article and verified content cited to it. Other material is either in a language I do not speak or is behind a paywall I cannot breach, so good faith is presumed (and such good faith seems reasonably placed, given the coherence with the Irish Times article). Although the hook fact is technically capable of changing, there seems to be no evidence that it is likely to change, meaning it's still a a definite fact that is unlikely to change. The hook is interesting, but there are some minor issues pertaining to WP:DYKCITE: The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear. This is a stricter standard than other evaluations, like GA (where citing to the end of a paragraph is usually fine). This problem applies to the following content in ALT0:

  • American science fiction novel: The current version of the article doesn't in the body describe Flyover isn't as an American novel or as a science fiction novel. It is described as "science fiction" only in the infobox and lead (and a category), and without citation.
  • a dystopian future where part of the USA became a theocracy: This fact about the plot of the book stated in the body text, in the plot section, but it's cited at the end of the paragraph instead of no later than the end of the sentence in which the fact appears.
  • Additionally, as Orchastrattor points, the word "became" in ALT0 should instead be "becomes", as descriptions of literature use the literary present tense. You do this in the body text but not in the text of ALT0.

As these three issues are relatively minor, I think they could be resolved readily. Once they are, please ping me, and I'll approve the nomination. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 18:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC) Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 18:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ALT0: ... that Flyover, a 2023 science fiction novel by an American author, portraying a dystopian future where part of the USA becomes a theocracy, has been published in French but not yet in English?
--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:55, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus: Thanks for the responsiveness. Flyover being a science fiction novel is now appropriately cited. However, some issues remain:
  • The hook calls Douglas Kennedy an American author, but the Flyover article doesn't describe Douglas Kennedy as an American author (or provide a citation for such description). This information and a citation for it should be added, per WP:DYKCITE (The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear).
  • The article doesn't have the necessary citation no later than the end of the sentence in which the fact appears for the book portraying part of the United States becoming a theocracy. There should be a citation no later than the end of the sentence verifying this fact about the book: In contrast, the United Confederacy, adopting the old Confederate flag and formed by the former Republican Party supporters, operates as a Christian theocracy across the Midwest and the South and bans not only abortion and sex change, but also divorce; offending religious feelings is a cause for the death penalty, often enacted through burning at the stake. Minneapolis has become a semi-neutral territory and a divided city, reminiscent of the divided Berlin of the Cold War era.
  • I just remembered that the Manual of Style favors "United States" or "US" but not "USA", so I would recommend the hook use "United States" or "US" but not "USA".
These remain minor issues that I think can be amended readily, so I'm still ready to approve the nomination once they're resolved. Please ping me when you feel these matters are addressed so I can complete the review. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 15:39, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hydrangeans, I added a ref for an American writer; could I perhaps ask you to fix the remaining minor issues you mention? I am on holiday now with limited access to the net and time for wiki-stuff for the next few weeks (or until I figure out a solution to this technical issue, i.e. find a better computer, connection, and time). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:41, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can do; sorry to trouble you on your holiday. I think the matters are minor enough—primarily visual and formal—that it's reasonable for me to implement them, and I've done so.
  • ALT2: ... that Flyover, a 2023 science fiction novel by an American author, portraying a dystopian future where part of the US becomes a theocracy, was published in French but not in English?

  • This is my first DYK review so take my comments with a grain of salt. The article is long enough. The article was moved to mainspace 21 May, so is is new enough. I am also not sure if a layman would understand the term "drafting." QPQ is done. The sources are reliable enough. The hook is interesting to me. The image is fine. I think the article is good; personally I think the early life section is very small and should probably be merged into something else. I also think the very first sentence of the article should be with the rest of the opening paragraph to make it look more presentable. Since this is my first DYK review, I am requesting a second opinion on this. Kimikel (talk) 02:51, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • On second thought I think the hook would more interesting and cohesive if it just focused on the first part. Could be something like "that 'Magic: The Gathering' player Pascal Maynard (pictured) was criticized for selecting a valuable card over a strategic/competitive one in a tournament?" that way its accessible to a general audience and is more focused than the original. again this is my first review so take with a grain of salt.

Will probably have to disagree here. Readers might still not necessarily get what it means to be an "All-Pro" or how it is a big deal. Historically, our sports hooks have tended to underperform and be criticized as only appealing to sports fans, and I can't see how this hook or angle is any different.

  • Thank you for the extra ALT hooks! I originally had something similar to ALT4 drafted up, but I rewrote it because the source doesn't explicitly state that it was the fourth episode to omit it. While I don't dispute it's a fact, we only have two separate sources that previously three other previous episodes that exclude it, but not that those are the only three. It was a slight case of WP:SYNTH and should probably be re-written in the article, unless such a source exists. That said, I don't have a problem with ALT3 if a reviewer chooses to accept it, but I do of course have a slight preference for the ones that I wrote 😅.

  • Article is long enough and was published to mainspace same day as DYK submission. It's well-sourced and copyvio free. The first hook is interesting, and the image meets criteria and adds to the hook. ALT1 is a little too wordy in my opinion, I think the original is better. Hook source is good. QPQ done. However, the last paragraph of the article is written in a stilted way, with semicolons connecting too many ideas, leading to it becoming difficult to read by the end. I would recommend going back and breaking some of those ideas up to make it easier to read, or at least adding "and" in front of the Solnhofen Limestone part. Other than that, there's nothing else that needs to be corrected. Kimikel (talk) 19:50, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: My first time reviewing a dual-article nomination, and I appreciate the effort which must have gone into it!

Both articles moved to mainspace yesterday. QPQ is done. No plagiarism detected via Earwig. For both articles, length, referencing and image licensing are all good. For the insect, I think that the first paragraph of "Description" and of "Paleoenvironment" are both a bit long and ought to be split up a bit, and that "Paleoenvironment" should have at least one image - even the location map over at Klondike Mountain Formation would be really helpful. For the plant, you really should move the distribution images a couple of paragraphs down to avoid MOS:SANDWICH, and the last sentence of the lead is missing a period. Still, I would not hold up the nomination for those reasons alone.

To me, it is the hook which has multiple significant issues. It may not be grammatically correct (shouldn't it be named after the same place, not named from the same place?), it is really confusing and vague, as you have no way to tell what place is actually being referred to without clicking on both links, and I feel that a lot of readers would just say "So what?" when they see it as currently written. Suggested wording: Alt1 "...that extinct plants and damselflies from the Eocene were discovered and named after Republic in Washington?"

I also think that both articles should have a sentence which makes this connection between the two more explicit than the mere hatnote at the top. Lastly, you should at least add DOI and ISBN links to your DYK citations. Right now, there is no way to tell which citation refers to which fossil without going through the articles' references, and we should not have to do that. InformationToKnowledge (talk) 13:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

InformationToKnowledge The hook as written is a play on the hemihomonym use of the genus name Republica for both a plant and an animal, but I like alt1 as well. I've added the dois for each source and a map to Republica weatbrooki, plus added splits in the Description and Paleoenvironment sections. A sentence calling out the hemihomonymy has been added to each article under classification. The image/map placement for Republics (plant) is more problematic though. I edit on a wide screen desktop monitor, and my view of the article has the maps already almost all the way down to the start of References. Ideally I was wanting a single map, but I wasn't able to find one I could make work for the West coast sites plus Alaska.--Kevmin § 18:37, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Taking conciseness into account and a matching the details of the articles:

Alt2 "...that fossil plants (pictured) and damselflies from the Ypresian were named after Republic in Washington state?"

Kevmin OK, that addresses all my concerns. Thanks for the prompt response! InformationToKnowledge (talk) 17:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kevmin and InformationToKnowledge: Whereas the original hook is one of the most eye-catching I have seen in a while, ALT2 is rather averagely dull. Can we not try to get the original to working order? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:25, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • @GRuban: QPQ is done. Article is long enough and moved to mainspace same day as DYK submission. Hooks are both interesting and sourced correctly; I prefer ALT1. Article is presentable and free from copyvio. I have two minor issues with the article's citations: 1) I added a citation needed tag, and 2) the article uses X as a source. Other than those two things, there's nothing else needed for approval. Kimikel (talk) 01:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • ... that "Chihiro" by Billie Eilish was titled in reference to the main character of Spirited Away? Source: ref: "Chihiro" is named after the protagonist from Hayao Miyazaki's 2001 film "Spirited Away," a fantastical coming-of-age journey that's been widely celebrated for its multi-layered storytelling and animation style.

    Thank you Sawyer. However, I'm afraid changing the image might later be marked as a breach of WP:DYKIMG which is what happened here, but if you think I should go through with it then I'll gladly replace the image. dxneo (talk) 00:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    dxneo i understand that. my suggestion is that you change the image both in the hook and the article to something newer (as the current picture is from when she was 16), but as i said it's just a suggestion from me, and not something holding back the hook. i believe all of the photos from the category i linked are CC BY 2.0, which is perfectly suitable. ... sawyer * he/they * talk 00:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sawyer, no problem. Most of the images listed in that category do not have description, which is making it difficult to add the image in the article. Please feel free to go on ahead and replace the image. dxneo (talk) 00:52, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Overall: Article nominated for DYK within 7 days of reaching Good Article status. The article is long enough, has over 1,500 words of prose, and is properly cited. Earwig picked up a copyright violation 0%, maing it unlikely. QPQ is done. AGF on locked sources. The article in general has a lot of red links and I think that, if there are no plans on creating those articles, they should be removed. Hook is cited, but it doesn't seem particularly interesting to people outside of fans of football, so another one is recommended. lullabying (talk) 02:51, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Lullabying and Narutolovehinata5: Hi both. I based the original hook on a previous DYK of mine. I think it's also fair to say it's difficult to find an interesting fact about a grassroots football team that isn't also about football. However, if we prefer Naruto's suggestion, how about: ... that Gedling Town F.C.'s nickname "The Ferrymen" was inspired by the name of a pub located next to the team's stadium?

    • Comment – I will review this nomination. – Editør (talk) 09:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Review – The article is new enough (passed as GA on 6 June 2024), long enough (12000+ characters of prose), has no copyright issues, and is presentable (both per Talk:María Pacheco/GA1). The originally proposed hook is cited and interesting. Although the linked source is not available without an account, I was able to confirm the information by other sources [8] [9], so I don't see an issue here. I want to propose an alternative that focuses more on María Pacheco instead of her husband and avoids changing 'Toledo' into the modern 'Toledo, Spain', let me know if there are any issues with ALT4 before I pass it. – Editør (talk) 10:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      ALT4 ... that María Pacheco led the Revolt of the Comuneros in the Kingdom of Toledo after the death of her husband?
      No issues with ALT4, although I personally think ALTs 1, 2 and 3 are more interesting. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Ok. I also thought ALT2 was interesting, but I couldn't find an alternative source for this to confirm this information; do you have one? And I would propose to change it to remove the modern 'Spanish' and the article 'the' because there were more leaders into: – Editør (talk) 12:59, 23 June 2024‎ (UTC)[reply]
      ALT5: ... that 16th-century chroniclers thought María Pacheco, a leader of the Revolt of the Comuneros, was a witch?
      Good point about dropping the apocryphal use of "Spanish", I think ALT5 looks good as well. Here's the direct quote from Fleming 2018, p. 270:

      Her actions drew the ire of contemporary chroniclers, who depict her as a tyrannical virago. Having earlier commented that she dominated her marriage as the “husband of her husband,” Martire links her protagonism to madness, and even to demonic possession; Santa Cruz relates it to witchcraft. Like Juana’s moriscas in earlier days, Pacheco’s were looked upon askance. Fray Guevara describes Pacheco working with a “mad” slave or “great witch,” who stoked her ambitions.

    Radiosoul

    (
    )
    • Source: From Rolling Stone UK: "While debut album Mellow Moon was written entirely alone during the pandemic, work on Radiosoul began when Templeman was in the process of moving out of his parents’ house and to London with his partner. Album highlight 'Beckham' playfully details his struggles with London’s exhausting rental market, as he details all the neighbourhoods he tried to live in. [...] He ended up living in none of them, but has now set up a new life in the capital that feels as representative of his move into adulthood as his new album. [...] After the pandemic lifted for most people, Templeman’s lung condition meant he had to isolate further, missing out on more pivotal teenage years. 'Everyone was coming out of their shell, whereas I was waiting,' he recalls. 'Things are about to change, and it’ll all be really amazing, but I can’t think about it too much. It was the same case with the album.'
    • ALT1: ... that Alfie Templeman described the style of his studio album Radiosoul as "incohesively cohesive"? Source: From Dork: "Radiosoul pinballs around as many genres as possible in eleven tracks without it feeling like you’ve got whiplash when the song changes. 'The whole idea of it was to essentially make a double album in a single album,' says Alfie of his motive this time. 'Just make as many different kinds of songs and piece it all together and make it sound somewhat cohesive. I always said it was incohesively cohesive, even though that makes no sense whatsoever. I had so many different genres in my head that I wanted to go to.'

    • Article is long and new enough as well as well written and copyvio-free. However, I would prefer that you cite another reliable, independent source for the critical reception instead of using Rotten Tomatoes, which, while reliable on its own, is not an arbiter of critical consensus; you can still report on the RT scores, though. Hooks are cited both in this page and article, but I prefer ALT1 (that is, with another independent source as I've said) for obvious reasons but with some minor alterations:

    ALT0 seems dull and reliant on readers' knowledge of award-giving bodies. Title card image, which is freely-licensed, seems more decorative than encyclopedic within the context of this DYK, so I seriously doubt it's gonna make it to the main page. Since QPQ has been given, this should be good to go once the issues are addressed. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 07:09, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rest article seems fine. Problem comes with only the fact that this is a synthesis and hence not perfectly verifiable.

    • 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.

    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:

    "... 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?"

    • As a Lions fan, am I allowed to just reject this outright? (kidding) Article is new enough, long enough, and well sourced. Earwig appears to be down, but a spot check of sources showed no issues. QPQ done. Hook is interesting, but I worry that in going for "hookiness" it might go too far towards being misleading. The Packers were one of the teams in the game, but is that the same as the players being "selected" for the game, as those for the actual all-star team were? What about wording it something closer to
    ALT1: ... that the entire Green Bay Packers team was chosen to play in the 1940 NFL All-Star Game?
    @Gonzo fan2007: What do you think of this? It's still "hooky" while hewing a little closer to fact, in my opinion. But despite my joke earlier, I'm not deliberately trying to be difficult and am open to other suggestions. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 23:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    DrOrinScrivello, that actually was going to be my original hook, but then I questioned whether "played" was factually correct. There aren't a lot of great sources for an 84 year old game, and I can't be certain that every player actually "played" (there were at least 2 injuries for Packers players noted before the game). "Select" is kind of the word used by the NFL for being chosen to the Pro Bowl and is consistent with List of Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl selections. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:33, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    All that to say I don't really mind either ALT if you think ALT1 is fine. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:36, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that "select" is what you usually expect to see in most Pro Bowl situations, but it seems to me that on this particular occasion the players themselves weren't "selected" per se. Maybe a way to get around the "play" issue would be to say,
    ALT1b: ... that the entire Green Bay Packers team was chosen to compete in the 1940 NFL All-Star Game?
    I think this is mostly hair splitting, though, and would not argue if the promoter choses any of the three options. Assuming my suggestions didn't alter the original enough for this to be considered approving my own hook (in which case I'm fine with another reviewer being requested), I think this is good to go.

    ALT2: ... that J. D. Arteaga, a close friend of MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez, did not foresee Rodriguez's talent?

When they approached the troops the commander gave the order to open fire. The soldiers, however, refused to shoot into the peasants and fired two volleys into the air. The commander himself drew his revolver and fired at the peasants, who rushed at him and made him prisoner. Some of the soldiers allowed their weapons to be taken and the rest retreated."

How about ALT1 ... that the Nazi collaborator Sebastiaan de Ranitz abandoned his office following Mad Tuesday, leaving his department in turmoil?

    • This is indeed a very interesting article and the hook is also interesting. The source is notable and I don't see any issue in the article. The main issue is the hook itself. The hook is telling us that people built a shrine after the statue was stolen. But what the source given for it says is slightly different. The news article says "On Reddit, Wellingtonians mourned Cub St’s missing bird by laying flowers and candles at its former perch". It is not even a shrine. The reporter didn’t call it a shrine, the reddit post calls it a shrine and we shouldn’t take the reddit as the reliable source. So @Panamitsu: you need to edit the hook a little bit. Or you can propose alternative hook. Or search for sources directly mentioned it as a shrine. Then ping me and I continue my review. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 13:20, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @Mehedi Abedin: The source shows a Reddit post saying "Someone's set up a shrine for the missing pigeon". I've also looked up shrine in the Oxford dictionary, which says "a place associated with or containing memorabilia of a particular revered person or thing", so I personally think that it is fine to call it a shrine even if the source doesn't (directly) say it. What do you think? ―Panamitsu (talk) 01:43, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @Panamitsu: Well I guess we don't have to be so perfect. Although I think that using the word "memorial" would be better. By the way, I am gonna pass this hook anyway. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 03:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • All statements are sourced. No issues with neutrality.
    • No copyvio or close paraphrasing noted. There are a couple of phrases which cannot really be reworded without losing their meaning.
    • Hooks: both are fully verified. ALT1 is better; I wonder if it might be worth including a reference to the building's use in A Clockwork Orange to grab attention. Something like: ...that Brunel University's "imposing" and "frightening" lecture centre (pictured) featured in A Clockwork Orange? (another editor would need to sign off that hook).

    • Approving ALT0 and ALT1. Article is long enough and expanded same day as DYK nomination. Article is well-sourced, copyvio-free, and presentable. Hooks are all interesting and sourced; I prefer the first two ALTs because ALT 2 requires prior knowledge of who George Orwell was, and because it just isn't as aesthetically pleasing due to the brackets.

    • @Generalissima: Article looks good, QPQ is done, etc. When I first saw the hook I wasn't sure if "second most played" referred to a concurrent count, or of a number of purchases in the past month or all time. I think it might be better to add something to the effect of "concurrent". You passed me in DYKs :(. ―Panamitsu (talk) 03:17, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I do have some major doubts about this "game"'s notability. Mainly, I think it fails WP:SUSTAINED, as it appears to be a flash-in-the-pan phenomenon that quickly drops off the radar and there is nothing to really talk about with regards to its content. I am not sure if DYK articles are required to pass notability criteria (the guidelines simply say "reliably sourced") but it risks coming off as advertising if a non-notable gimmick reaches the main page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Zxcvbnm: I feel the article pretty plainly meets GNG. It's covered in-depth in a wide variety of reliable sources for a month now, including Forbes. Even "gimmicks" are notable if they get significant, reliable coverage. (And no, notability is not a DYK thing. If it gets AFD'ed thats another issue.) Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:49, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • The only sources in the article are from a 2-week timespan from the beginning of June to a few days ago. That, to me and likely most other editors is not a sustained span of time in which the "game" is discussed. That goes into the realm of Wikipedia as news website rather than as a lagging indicator of notability. "Brief bursts of news coverage" do not demonstrate notability. There's a possibility that several months from now, the "game" will still be major, but we are not a crystal ball. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:59, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Zxcvbnm: But lots of games have articles relatively soon after release. How can we say *any* game will or won't have coverage? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 06:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          • Usually games have some degree of pre-release announcements and whatnot even before it comes out, with release day only cementing its notability. I'd say literally any game article that is created shortly after a game is announced is frowned upon for being WP:TOOSOON. I'm not saying it should be deleted now, but it does risk being deleted at a later date if its popularity fails to last. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • New article, well written and high quality (likely suitable for a GA nomination). No copyvio issues found. Hook is interesting, cited in the article, and of appropriate length. My one concern is the licensing of the image. Without the photographer's identity and thus death date, and without proof that it was first published prior to 1929, the claimed license is not valid. PD-old-assumed would be valid given that the image is >120 years old, but an appropriate US copyright tag would still be needed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:10, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Fireze by Darlington (detail)
    • Thank you for your comment. Here is the image that you requested as a second option.
    • Note: I always do my best to cooperate on DYK templates, whether as reviewer, creator or nominator. However I also claim the right to an opinion. In this case, you will see that I am doing my best to cooperate. However, in the (nearly) 20 years that I have been a WP contributor, I have never seen a 120-year-old UK photo refused at DYK on those grounds. This image was a carte de visite, as were most photographs in the UK in 1897. They were purchased in batches and used as visiting cards, and were left at the addresses of acquaintances and businesses in the way that we leave our contact details today. Unlike our contact details today, cartes de visite were expected to be shared around by those who received them, because privacy was not an issue in the way that it is today, and cartes de visite were used as a form of advertisement. If that is not a form of publication, I don't know what is. Storye book (talk) 09:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Storye book: If it's a carte de visite, then I would consider it to have been published. I do think the fireze might be more interesting as a DYK image, since there are a lot of portraits there, but either image is just fine. Great work! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:56, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The major expansion during that period was by HotMess. I've done some more expansion since and it's gone from 753 bytes of readable prose (prior to 17 June when expansion started) to 4753 bytes; more than the required 5x expansion.

    And whilst we do have a mugshot for the subject, it's of poor quality and thus not worth including in this nomination.

Classicwiki, I will complete the DYK review: Article created 18 June and is of good length; sources used look to be reliable for the content cited; I don't have access to all the sources but didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; hooks are interesting and stated in the article (I amended ALT0 to "around two desert springs" as there is a third cluster nearby), AGF on sourcing to journal I don't have access to; image is good and properly licensed; a QPQ is not required in this case.

    • Review – The article is new enough (promoted to GA on 20 June 2024), is long enough (8000+ characters of prose), has no copyright issues, and is presentable (both per Talk:Dorothy Dworkin/GA1). The hook is cited and interesting. Although the linked source is not available without an account, I was able to confirm the information by other sources [11] [12], so I don't see an issue here. The image is properly licensed, clear in a smaller size, and used in the article. I thought the most remarkable fact from the article are the thousands of people that she helped immigrate from Europe to Canada to escape the Holocaust, did you consider this for the hook? – Editør (talk) 16:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • I did, but I wasn't sure that 'helped' was strong enough for a good hook. (Her husband and brother-in-law also participated with the travel business, though she is usually singled out as the "rainmaker" who 'made things happen'). Anyways, I thought someone might have a problem with independent sources being a little weak on the specifics. Following is one I'd considered (using 'hundreds' for the 1930s, probably needs some rephrasing). – Reidgreg (talk) 23:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have access to the academic sources cited but happy to assume they support the statement, the JTA contemporary source reports the fact.

    @TheNuggeteer: Thank you for the review. Per WP:DYKNEW, I’ve mentioned in the comment that the subject is listed only in RD section of the ITN, not bold link.
    Although this type of killing may be common elsewhere, it is a rare case in the highly religious country that a prominent religious figure was shot dead by the ruling junta’s soldiers. Plus, it is very few that the junta apologized publicly; he would never show his weakness in public.
    I’d like to nominate another ALTs:

    Hook eligibility:

    • Cited: No - See comment
    • Interesting: Yes
    QPQ: None required.

    Overall: Source 1 doesn't seem to mention the facts in the hook, and the second source seems somewhat partisan and I'm somewhat suspicious of the quality of an article starting with "Did You Know". Does the academic source mentioned in the same paragraph in this article ([20]) mention it in any way? That would be much better. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 06:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      • @Flemmish Nietzsche: Sadly, the academic source doesn't back the claim up but it does back up the claim that an area in the Vatican was once a chariot racing track. Though I'm not sure what's Wikipedia's and the DYK's policy on "possibly statements" (i.e. ...that sport in Vatican City possibly started in the 1st century, when a chariot racing track was built in what was then ancient Rome?" I suggest using ALT1 instead if that's the case. Though I can make another hook if it isn't interesting enough. Arconning (talk) 06:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Arconning I checked that journal I suggested, fand you're right about it not being definite that the chariot track ever actually existed there. ALT1 is not the most interesting, but I could accept it if there's nothing else better you can find. How about "... that sport in Vatican City began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?" This might not be the "start" of sport in the area that is now the Vatican, but it seems to be the first major event when that area was under the control of an independent Papal State, so I think it would pass. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 07:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Flemmish Nietzsche For the hook that you suggested, I'm all for it but with some minor tweaks. Since we can't really determine when sport in Vatican City really started, I think we should put something like "governed by the nation", "started by the nation", or something shorter. (i.e. ... that sport in Vatican City started by the nation began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?"). Arconning (talk) 07:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Arconning "started by the nation" seems somewhat iffy, as it could be confused with "nation" meaning a group of people sharing a common identity rather than a sovereign state; maybe "state-sponsored" or "officially" would be better? (... that state-sponsored sport in Vatican City began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?") Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 07:45, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Flemmish Nietzsche "Officially" works fine with me. Arconning (talk) 07:49, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
