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.

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

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - If ALT1 is approved, then reference [1] needs to be repeated directly after the sentence "Soon after this, at the age of 22, she came out as a lesbian through a group text message to her parents, who were both supportive of her sexuality." This is necessary per WP:DYKHFC, which says "The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear."
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Bsoyka Nice work on this article. I think ALT0 is the most interesting as well, but ALT1 might also work. I'm not sure about ALT2, since many influencers get millions of views for whatever it is that they're known for. Epicgenius (talk) 19:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bsoyka, Epicgenius, and Kimikel: Just noting that I have pulled this from prep 1 as there is already a Kamala hook in queue 7 and there's another in a later prep. I have not in any way assessed the article.--Launchballer 14:09, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Fun little DYK, was kind of neat to learn more about the statue and how the everything came together. All in all it looks fine, no copyvio issues, and article is long enough. I'm not a huge fan of the second hook, it's not as interesting as learning about the process that was taken to make the statue. One minor note to the nominator, it was kind of a pain to go through the article history since you moved it over from your sandbox. Maybe consider using draft space next time. Dr vulpes (Talk) 15:44, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr vulpes: Thank you, glad to know you enjoy it! I personally find the first hook to be more interesting also, but my main qualm is that it seems somewhat difficult to include all of the useful details while keeping it reasonably simple and catchy for the average reader. As to the last point, my interest in working on specific topics comes and goes and seems totally random, so I often try to save things in userspace rather than draftspace to avoid the automatic deletion after 6 months, which has happened before. Left guide (talk) 01:30, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Left guide: I 100% feel you on that! I was going over it and it took me a little bit for it to click. No worries just glad you got it here to DYK. Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr vulpes and Left guide: The hook and the article text both can be read to mean that the current statue was re-positioned and contains hidden joints. Maybe something like:
  • ALT2: ... that a sculptor used ball-and-socket joints to re-position the original clay statue of John Stockton about 20 times before arriving at the final pose.

Overall: The plot section does not have inline sourcing, but this is not required per MOS:PLOTSOURCE. ALT2 talks about using a bedpan to save and needing to empty it to save again, which is not exactly what the hook says. It may need to be reworded if it is the hook chosen, but I believe other hooks are more interesting anyway, especially ALT3. The source provided for ALT3 does not mention humanitarian aid, but this is mentioned in other sources in the article. I believe this DYK is ready to go.

Overall: I am okay with sourcing as spot checks passed. However, I think you should actually link all the newspaper articles where possible so that any reviewing admin can also verify the sources. — MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Panamitsu: I need you to please fix source 4, cited several times. Atlas Obscura articles are user-generated and user-editable with minimal oversight, and the site's terms of use includes disclaimers about user submissions. Many of the "places" articles cite Wikipedia as a source of their information or otherwise lack clear or reliable sourcing. Per WP:GUNREL: These articles should generally not be referenced on Wikipedia. I personally would have no issue with you using this source once or twice for something uncontroversial, however unfortunately for an article to appear on the Main Page, I don't think this source is gonna cut it. I can seek a second opinion if you want, but I would hate to approve it only for an admin to step in and decline to post...— MaxnaCarta  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:37, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Di (they-them) is there an independent RS that describes Green as a conservationist? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:03, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
AirshipJungleman29 The ABC article source says that Mr Green has been widely recognised for his two decades of conservation work, including by Natural Resources Kangaroo Island. The award from the South Australian government, which can be seen at 28 seconds into the ABC video source, describes him as a dedicated, hands-on environmentalist. So, while the word "conservationist" isn't necessarily used, I think these essentially say the exact same thing. If that's an issue, I'd be fine with tweaking the hook to say "an Australian environmentalist" instead. Di (they-them) (talk) 21:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?

Overall: The article was expanded more than fivefold (2,024 to 12,369 characters) when comparing the pre-expansion version on May 7, 2024, to the nominated version on August 28, 2024. Length and sourcing are adequate. The article appears neutral in tone, and no plagiarism concerns were found. The proposed hook is interesting, but its citation needs some work. As per WP:DYKCRIT, the sentence(s) which support the hooks require citation immediately following. The hooks is supported by several sentences, but not all of them have a citation. No image is included in this nomination, but all images in the article have a free Commons license. The nominator has supplied a QPQ, although it was not required.

  • GA status confirmed, date is fine. Various GA-related quality aspects confirmed as meeting DYK standards. Still needs a QPQ review. Hook needs improvements; not Nokia devices, but a single device (the article states "In homage to his first albums, which he spread using Bluetooth, he released a collector's edition Nokia 6120 handset."). And while this is not a DYK concern, I think this part of the article should be expanded - how can one spread albums using Bluetooth? How does one include an album in a handset (the source states it was pre-loaded onto a classic handset, which is confusing - what exactly was that item)? If I was a GA reviewer I'd expect this to be addressed (expanded with clarifications in the text).

  • The article is well-developed, fully cited, neutral in tone, and free of unresolved tags. The hook is both interesting and cited, making it suitable for the main page. I used a translator to verify the information, and everything checks out. While the article is on track for GA status in the future, I suggest renaming the "Biography" section for clarity since we already know this is a biography article. Dividing it into sections like "Early Life and Education" and "Career" could improve the structure. Overall, great work! Morogris (✉ • ✎) 14:49, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General eligibility:

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - I will kindly AGF the offline sources, but many parts of the article is unsourced. Paragraph four has an unsourced statement, and the "Biology" paragraph is unsourced; there’s also one ending in "FAO REF?". Ref 1 doesn't specify it's a "gamefish" beyond vague "if fished incidentally" (which doesn't clarify individual scale nor if it's done commercially or recreationally, especially when next to "commercial importance") nor mention angling. I can't seem to find the 2.5g weight in ref 11. Ref 16 doesn’t say “the silver porgy is generally standoffish and seldom approaches divers”; while it says “D. argenteus had always been seen in the gulfs”, it doesn’t go beyond only a few year-round divers identifying the species. "Or anything to do with Argentina's etymology" seems so OR-y and debatable; both of them come from the same Latin word.
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes
  • Other problems: No - “fairly high probably” should be “fairly high probability”
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.

QPQ: No - None provided.
Overall: Nom four days after creation and size at 3871. There are several sourcing issues you'll have to fix, as well as a QPQ to provide; see above. Also, it would help if you could provide online links to the refs since it'll make the reviewers' jobs better; I had to find some of them myself with the WP:LIBRARY providing access to some of them, and I’ve linked them in the refs. And please refrain from using redundant sources; I only needed 12/13 to verify one of the claims that also had ref 9 attached. ミラP@Miraclepine 22:13, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I've fixed most of the more pressing issues around left over annotations and poor sourcing. That said, I recognize that there could be a case to be made for OR and have provided an alternative hook, that I am much more in favor of using. In the coming day's I'll probably delete or rewrite problematic areas as I dig up and cross check source problems. Ryan shell (talk) 02:53, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ryan shell: While the ALT1 seems boring, I'm fine with ALT0 because the issue I raised was on being related to Argentina's etymology but not Argentina the country. That said, while the gamefish issue has been fixed - I crossed off the ref 16 issue because I put in the wrong ref, silly me - no other issues have been resolved and the article still has unsourced paragraphs. BTW I'm pretty sure it's more convenient to add the QPQ in the "Reviewed" line. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:25, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • : Seems new and long enough, almost entirely written by nominator; I have a few very minor problems with the sourcing that I think can be resolved by just copying some nearby sources, which I tagged: specifically, I think there should be a citation for the 1st paragraph of "Svayamvara in the Rg Veda" and one place in the 1st paragraph of "Damayantī's Svayamvara". Also, I think it would be more clear if the source at the end of the last paragraph of the lead were duplicated to the first two paragraphs as well if it applies to them, and per the DYK guidelines, I think that the source given has to be present at the end of the sentence giving the claim present in the hook. Don't see any neutrality issues. Article is (listing criteria) presentable, image & hook seem good, no other complaints.

If I could make one general recommendation for making this important topic more accessible to the non-specialist reader, I think regardless of the hook, the entry could benefit from a few words explaining who Fawcett was, and likewise to explain what the Bangor dispute was (currently it’s a bit mysterious). As to the hook, I wonder if it would be more interesting to say something like:

I am assuming good faith for the sources as they are in Welsh, although for DYK purposes the provided translations above should be fine. A QPQ has been done.

@Narutolovehinata5: Thank you for the review! But I'm not sure why you've specifically approved only one hook when there's nothing actually wrong with the other one - surely it's up to the prep builders to choose which hook is more interesting.

While I thought ALT1 was also a surprising and interesting hook, I thought the fact about them being formed four days before the gig, as opposed to simply being intended to be a one-time thing, was more unusual and eye-catching. In addition, it's also a shorter hook and arguably punchier. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ok, I shall review this (after all). Schwede66 04:34, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article is a new translation and plenty long enough. There are a variety of issues with the content that need tidying up. For a start, the year and place of birth are unreferenced, which is a violation of WP:BLPPRIVACY. Either you find sources or you must remove those details. I noticed a mixture of British and American English; settle on one (personally, I would use British English but it's entirely up to you). The list of print media at the end of the section "Life and career" should all be shown in italic font. Same with the newspaper's part of the title Los Angeles Times Book Prize. In the section "Selected publications", the last three entries need either the ISBN number added, or a reference, or removed from that list. Otherwise, the referencing is fine. The article is neutral. Earwig is clean. With regards to the hook fact, you quote “but the protagonist does have a lot in common with me in terms of temperament.” (you need to use square quote marks, by the way, not curly ones), you need to point me to where it says that in the source as I can't see it. The hook is interesting (to me, at least). Should others have issues with interestingness, there are certainly plenty of other good hooks possible. I won't be able to sign off on the image, I'm afraid. It says that it's supplied by the subject (ok, fine, she could have used a tripod, however unlikely that is, though) but the uploader is not the subject. It therefore needs to go through the Volunteer Response Team before it can technically be used. QPQ has been done. All in all, there's a wee bit of tidy up work to do but it shouldn't take you long, Munfarid1. Schwede66 05:13, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @User:Schwede66, thanks for your close review. I have taken care of all the issues you pointed out and changed the picture. As most sources give Leipzig and 1986 as her POB and DOB, I have changed that and added a source for this in the lead. (I am not aware that this would have to be repeated in the infobox now, but if so, please let me know.) I did not see any inconsistencies between British and American English in the text, and would prefer to leave it as is. (Again, if you see any, please let me know.) - Also, I have added the correct source of the quote, and apoligize for the mistaken source that you rightly pointed out. Munfarid1 (talk) 11:09, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"travelled" and "colour" is British English (traveled; color), while "characterized" and "organized" is American English (characterised; organised). Which one shall it be? I had fixed the quotation marks for you as the manual of style requires us to use square marks (") but you changed it back to something else (″). Whilst not the most important issue at all, we might as well get it right. The licensing of the new image is fine, but the lighting is suboptimal. ALT0 is now referenced. Not sure how I managed to overlook the other two hooks. I’m not sure about ALT1; there’s a bit of synthesis going on. ALT2 is fine. Schwede66 17:23, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I wasn't aware that you had changed the quotation marks and understood that I should change them. Actually, I used the special character in WP drop-down menue, and only now read that this is not what MOS requires. So I just changed this again to square marks. - As to the spelling of -ize, this is not exclusively American, but also Oxford spelling and accepted by many British, Commonwealth and international organizations, as well as by MOS:IZE. - I hope this will sort out any doubts on your part for the go-ahead of this DYK. Munfarid1 (talk) 18:48, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook eligibility:

Overall: @Crisco 1492: Hi Chris! Overall, this is a well-sourced and well-written article. It was submitted on the day it was created, so it is new enough. Earwig also shows that the article is copyvio free. However, I have some concerns about the hook. I do not find it particularly interesting, and the reason for Yang's execution is not clearly conveyed. The People's Daily source cited in this nomination mentions that Chiang Kai-shek personally called Yang before ordering his execution, which is a much clearer and more interesting detail for a hook in my opinion. But this is just a suggestion for possible amendments to the hook, and it is not compulsory. If the nominator prefers to keep the current hook, that is perfectly fine with me as well. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 14:39, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Prince of Erebor. That tidbit is mentioned in several of the sources. However, given that they are all state media, and their likelihood of being non-neutral in detailing Chiang Kai-shek, I'm a bit iffy reporting it as objective fact (I think at least one mentions that he basically threw the phone in response). I can add a few lines making it clear that this comes from a state source, then we can do an ALT. Let me revisit the sources. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:04, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2 ... that Chiang Kai-shek was reported to have ordered the execution of Yang Pao'an (pictured) after the latter threw a phone against a wall?
ALT3 ... that Yang Pao'an (pictured) refused to forsake the Chinese Communist Party, reportedly even after a personal telephone call from generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek?


@Crisco 1492: Thanks for your swift reply and update! It is true that state media should not be taken at face value, but it appears that all the other sources cited in the Later years and death section, such as China Daily and The Paper, are also state-owned, leaving us with limited options. Perhaps we could consider ALT3, as it seems to address concerns about neutrality and skepticism regarding the details of the supposed private conversation between Chiang and Yang?

Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: article created 4 September (and nominated 5 days later) and exceeds minimum length; article is cited inline throughout with two exceptions: that her current team is "RSV Lahn-Dill" and that her disability class is "1.0" (both mentioned in the infobox and the disability class in the lead only); please can you cite these? The English language sources look to be reliable for the content cited, happy to AGF on the foreign language ones; I didn't pick up on any issue with overly close paraphrasing; image is good and properly licensed; hook is fine and loosk to check out to the German-language source (a Google search appears to confirm the team is referred to simply as "Rolling Chocolate" elsewhere); a QPQ has been carried out. If you can address the two minor citations needed this should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 17:44, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Added a bit more to cover this. She has left RSV Lahn-Dill but I have let this stand as she is yet to join a new club. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:04, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ALT1: ... that Engel Nawatiseb left the Landless People's Movement due to disagreements about who should drive during the party's fifth anniversary celebration? Source: "The source further claimed that these party members felt threatened by Nawatiseb’s position in the party. “People felt why is it only Nawatiseb driving the car and not them?” the source said. Following the complaints, the party allegedly took the car from Nawatiseb.", and "Another party source said Nawatiseb was insulted by a powerful young leader in the party about the usage of the car. “Apparently he wasn’t sharing the car with others. But once a car is assigned to you, it’s difficult to share, because once it is broken it becomes your responsibility,” another party source said. The source said the car was taken away a day after the party’s fifth anniversary. “On Sunday morning when they took the car, they embarrassed and insulted the man,” the source said." [5]

  • I may review this nomination later today, but a quick comment is that while the source goes into detail about why !Nawatiseb was chosen to drive the car, why other party leaders were supposedly upset, and ostensible explanations as to why the car was reassigned, the article itself only talks about !Nawatiseb's embarrassment over the car being taken. I really like the second hook, but the disagreements should be detailed (or at least mentioned explicitly) in the article for the nomination to pass. Yue🌙 17:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, I think it should be "a celebration of the party's fifth anniversary", because to my understanding he was to drive for the celebration in a specific part of Namibia, as he was the only person qualified in that area. Yue🌙 17:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to butt in, but the article isn't good enough for DYK. At first, I intended to remove the stub tag (we don't run stubs at DYK) but it's arguably still a stub. There is nothing outside of his political career; no early life, education, or what he did before politics. The article therefore fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Secondly, the date and place of birth are both unreferenced and that's a violation of WP:BLP. Thirdly, about half the article deals with controversies and that feels unbalanced; hence it fails WP:NPOV. There's a lot more work required to get this ready. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: No - Not done
Overall: New enough, long enough, sourced and neutral, Earwig detects no copyvio issues other than long names and quoted passages, the hook is interesting. I am awaiting the QPQ as mentioned by the nominator. Ivanvector I want to clarify with you the value of "4,000 years" mentioned in the hook. I see a value of 3000 years as mentioned by "suggest the possible presence of a drowned site dating within the Woodland Period (which spans from about 3000 years ago to the recent historic period)." but I'm not sure whether the "to the recent historic period" is inclusive of an additional thousand years or not, I am not familiar with the terminology enough to make my own determination. Ornithoptera (talk) 21:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ivanvector: Note that per a recent rule change, a QPQ should have been provided at the time of the nomination. Please provide one as soon as possible, as the nomination may be closed without further warning unless a QPQ is given. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:45, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: thanks, I was not aware of that. If we're going to be bureaucratic about things, the rules also suggest that previously completed QPQs can be credited towards a future nomination requiring one, and I have done QPQs with three or four of my past five nominations when none were required. Nonetheless, I have started to review ...Well, Better Than the Alternative. I will check on the sourcing for the time period this evening, and update accordingly. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ornithoptera: the source for 4,000 years is "First Look at the Proposed Pituamkek National Park Reserve" in National Parks Explorer, reference #6 in the article, which reads "These shores and forests have been home to the Mi’kmaq people for more than 4,000 years [...] ." I've added an additional inline citation. I interpreted "the recent historic period" as meaning the time period right up to European contact and the Acadian expulsion in the 18th century, and the section you're referring to I believe describes the estimated age of that particular drowned site or to the Pitawelkek site described in the source, not to the whole island chain. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:07, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify the rule, it just means that a QPQ should have been provided at the time of making the nomination, if it is a review that was done previously. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:03, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for getting back to me with the QPQ. I can verify that the new source for 4000 years explicitly mentions the date mentioned in the hook. For future reference, it might be ideal to not assume "the recent historic period" based on what you might assume, rather, finding a source that can attest to it within a relevant source is the safest way to go. The phrase can be interpreted in a variety of ways and would not serve as a strong source for this context. Thank you for your time Ivanvector, wonderful work on the article regardless.

  • Source: "Hugh Bunel, who murdered Mabel of Bellême, found himself pursued for years. Orderic tells us that Hugh fled first to Apulia, then to Sicily, and from there to the service of the Byzantine emperor Alexios Comnenos. But wherever Hugh went he was pursued by the threats and bribes of King William and Mabel's sons, who 'promised rewards and gifts to any spies who could kill the exiled assassin in whatever land they might find him', And so Hugh left Christendom altogether and lived among the Saracens for twenty years until, during the First Crusade, he appeared before Robert Curthose at the siege of Jerusalem and offered him his help and service in counsel and battle." from: Hagger, Mark S.

Hi CMD, I chose the quote above as it tells the story in one easy citable passage. I think Haggard is just making clear his source; other publications I have cited in the article state it more directly. Eg: "Hugh Bunel, who was exiled from Normandy after hacking off the head of Mabel of Bellême as she lay in bed, lived for twenty years among the Saracens, studying their customs and language: as a result he was able to offer useful services to the armies of the First Crusade." from: Fletcher, Richard A.

Generally well written; I did make a few minor copy-edits. Copyright "violation unlikely" (9.1% similarity) per Earwig. Both hooks are cited.

  • The article is new enough and long enough, no QPQ is needed. The article seems mostly sourced to the primary source, but having a quick search I am satisfied the subject has further coverage. While the source given in this nomination is non-English and without a page number, the hook is sourced in the article to the primary source which does support it. The article would be improved by the use of page numbers for sources. I am unsure about the image copyright, I do not think it can be own work as it is a photograph of an artwork. CMD (talk) 09:25, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Chipmunkdavis:, Thank you for reviewing my first DYK submission. The 'ancient-buddhist-texts' English source is a primary source, but I added it mainly for clarity and better understanding in English. The article is fully supported by the Burmese source, and even without the 'ancient-buddhist-texts' reference, it remains comprehensive. The Burmese source, Kutha Zatdaw (PDF), Myanmar Alin (in Burmese), 16 June 2005, p. 10, is sufficient to cover the entire article. An article from the Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science is also an additional reference that can be used to verify the entire content of the article. If you're unable to verify the Burmese source, please feel free to seek assistance from other Burmese-speaking editors. And I added more English source and page numbers.
Regarding the image, the Buddhist temple artwork is not copyrighted, which is a common case in Myanmar. Buddhist Jataka tales are often depicted in many temples and monasteries across Myanmar. For instance, File:071 The Defeat of Alavaka (9022063790).jpg is an example. In Myanmar and Thailand, temple arts of Buddha cosmology are generally not subject to copyright. Thanks! Hteiktinhein (talk) 20:06, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it is an interesting article. On the sources, there is no specific issue with non-English sources (although the English backup is appreciated), but as a general point I would suggest including page numbers next to specific claims for all languages. Would you have a link for more information about that copyright situation? CMD (talk) 14:53, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I’m not an expert on copyright, I’m not sure how to explain it very well. I do know that Myanmar is not a freedom of panorama country, but the Aung Myin Dipa Temple in Patheingyi was established around 1880 by Min Dipa, a minister and court official in King Thibaw's court. The paintings in the temple seem old, but there is no indication of the year they were made or the owner’s name. So, they could be considered under the PD-Myanmar license. However, I don’t want to delay or cause any arguments, so it’s fine to promote my DYK without the photo. I’m withdrawing the photo for now. Pls kindly review. Thanks!

  • New enough (draft), long enough, no QPQ needed. A couple of paragraphs lack citations, although they read as if they might simply use a duplicate of other existing citations. Earwig gives a high value, but this seems to be mostly quotations. If there is another way to word "converted the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction" that may be useful, but if not, I have not found copyvio. The hook seems interesting from a common law perspective, but I am concerned the language does not easily track the article which may make it difficult for readers to find. For example, "freeze" does not appear in the article, neither does "Lord Chancellor". I do think it is in the sources given here, although I cannot access the source in the article. This should be a simple fix, either with tweaks to the article or the hook. CMD (talk) 10:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chipmunkdavis:
    1. Added references for those few paragraphs I forgot to cite.
    2. To make it easier to find the support for the hook, I have rephrased the intro a bit, duplicated a footnote there from the body (optional per MOS:LEADCITE), and added non-paywalled sources for it. Additionally:
      • I have changed a "frozen" into "freeze" for sake of CTRL+F. (There were already 8 instances of "freezing".)
      • Likewise I have added "Lord Chancellor" to the lead, though "the Chancellor" and "the pre-Revolutionary Chancellor" appear in the article and refer to that. I used "Lord Chancellor" in the hook rather than "Court of Chancery" (the former court of the Lord Chancellor) mainly since it sounds more interesting (and is accurate), but I would be fine with instead using "Court of Chancery" in the hook.
      • Re: "although I cannot access the source", if you log in to the Wikipedia: Library, then you should be able to access that paywalled sources via HeinOnline at Maloy, "Expansive Equity Jurisprudence: A Court Divided" (and likewise the other paywalled source at Haines, "The Conservative Assault on Federal Equity").
    3. While I have now very slightly changed the wording, "converted the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction" (Google) is not original to the case, and the exact phrase is used by the Supreme Court, the court of appeals, and multiple sources (Burbank, Grenig)—in each instance without quotation.

  • Claiming this for review and hoping to finish the full review soon. For now I'll just note that the first hook is probably the best option here. It's mentioned in the article and properly referenced. I couldn't find where in the Chinese source the part about her using her own clothes is mentioned, but the English source confirmed it so there's that. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi Narutolovehinata5. First of all, I am confused, as I believed User:MaranoFan had approved this nomination yesterday, and your statement does not imply a denouncement of their review. So I am unsure why Marano's review was overridden. As for the Chinese source, it is actually written in Cantonese. It writes "'First of all, I would like to thank Sandra Ng for providing many of her own beautiful clothes. In fact, we are the real scam syndicate, as we first asked Ng to play this role but couldn’t advance her payment. Then we "made" Ng into lending us her costumes, and even she joked, "are you guys really that poor?"' Ho Miu Ki expressed gratitude for Ng's professionalism and kindness to help the production crew saving a significant amount on wardrobe expenses. (首先要多謝君如提供許多私伙靚衫。其實我們才是真正的詐騙集團，首先請君如演這個角色，但又未能預支片酬；然後再『氹』君如借出服裝，連她也笑言『你哋係咪真係咁窮呀！』」何妙祺感謝吳君如的專業與不計較，願意為劇組節省大量服飾上的開銷。) It does not mention Ng wearing her clothes, as it was cited to support the first part of the sentence about her "[lending] her own wardrobe to the costume crew" and "to help to save money". It is unrelated to the hook, which is why I did not include that source in this nomination. But as you mentioned, the English source has already checked out the hook, so I am still uncertain about what the problem is here. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 15:50, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • New enough (moved draft), long enough. No copyvio from spotcheck of the first 3 sources. Very nice work with the newspapers. On prose, just a double check on whether we should be writing "Europe and the Orient", it feels outdated. Perhaps it should be in quotes, as I am unsure modern readers will understand what "the Orient" means. In Career, I am unclear how she joined a company in 1928 if she had already travelled with them in 1927.
    For the hook, I am unsure where "ancient" comes from, it is not in the sources. I would also suggest wording it as "royalty in Calcutta", as I'm not sure Calcutta itself had specific royalty. Otherwise, it is interesting and sourced. CMD (talk) 13:48, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi, Chipmunkdavis! I've fixed usage of "the Orient", per your suggestion. I only used the term because the papers in question did without technically defining what area that referred to. I've fixed the year discrepancy. I've changed the hook to "in".
As for ancient, I would love for alternative suggestions on that one. I included it for a particular reason. If it just says "classical dance", then people are going to assume that means ballet or ballroom dances, when that is absolutely not the type of dances being referred to. The dances she used were things like ancient Assyrian and Egyptian dances. However, the sources on her dancing before the Calcutta royalty didn't specify which dance types she used in that case, so I wasn't comfortable automatically including either of those two cultural names. SilverserenC 21:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting that the sources all seem to use classical dance, perhaps its meaning has shifted. After a quick look around, would something like "folk" or "traditional" work? The royalty wording should be tweaked in the article as well. CMD (talk) 00:56, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose traditional classical dances will work. I've made the change in the hook above and fixed the royalty sentences in the article. SilverserenC 01:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We are good to go, in the hopes of one day getting a Wikipedia article on this meaning of classical dance. CMD (talk) 01:29, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He surmised that the Soviet leader, Yuri Andropov, had died. United States officials, dismissing the suggestion, said that Mr. Doder was “smoking pot,” as he and Ms. Branson wrote in a 2021 memoir, “The Inconvenient Journalist.”

“Soviet television and radio Thursday night unexpectedly changed scheduled programs to classical music,” Mr. Doder’s dispatch read. “The unusual change came against the backdrop of the illness of Soviet leader Yuri Andropov.”"

  • Source: "In March 1943, the Political Warfare Executive at Woburn Abbey began broadcasting from two radio stations, Deutscher Kurzwellensender Atlantik and Soldatenseder Calais. These purported to be authentic German transmitters, but in fact had been developed to undermine German morale, and in particular to target U-boat crews ... The objective was to subvert the discipline of enemy submariners by providing continuous first-class music, news, and feature programs every night between 1830 and 0800. Interspersed with German dance bands and singers recorded in the United States, Atlantik spread rumors, issued depressing news bulletins, and generally sought to destroy the seamen's faith in their leadership by contradicting what they had heard from Germany on official channels." from: West, Nigel (2010).

  • @Dumelow: Another interesting article and perfect for DYK. I prefer ALT0 as interesting and confirmed with citation in the article based on the pull out detailed under the hook. I suggest adding the dates that this station operated in the lead. It was nominated seven days after creation so it is new enough and at 6371 characters it is long enough. The QPQ is done and Earwig does not find evidence of plagiarism. We could use some attention on a few minor things prior to approval.
  1. I suggest adding the dates that this station was operating somewhere in the lead and body.
  2. MOS:AMPM I think it should be: 6 am 8 am, and should the word broadcast be broadcasted? Here is the sentence: "It broadcast between 6pm and 8am daily on a number of shortwave channels".
  3. Maybe other words for the phrase "to this end" as it feels conversational and is an informal idiom. Here is the sentence: "To this end some of the staff were German defectors, including Otto John, Richard Wurmann". Maybe "In order to achieve this goal" or something similar.
  4. Sentence in the article: "To make the station attractive to listeners it broadcast the latest in popular dance music" Same question about the word broadcast
  5. Sentence "it might involve an attempt for vessels to break out to the far east" should Far East be capitalized? and linked to Far East. I cannot access the source so not sure if it is the same thing.

  • Hi Darth Stabro, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 23 September and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout; I don't have access to all of the sources but they look to be reliable and I didn't find any issues with overly close paraphrasing on a spotcheck of ones I could access; for the image do you have any evidence it was taken by a serving US military person, other than the setting of it? Its immediate source is a US newspaper. Hook is interesting but the nickname is only mentioned in the lead and that it was awarded for "his insistence on being on the front lines" isn't mentioned.
@Dumelow: I'll get confirmation from the PA Veterans Museum that it is a USMC image but all evidence suggests it being an official portrait. I've placed and sourced more into on the nickname.~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 15:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Darth Stabro, image looks good. My only hang up is on the "because of his insistence on being on the front lines" bit of the hook. I don't think this is explicitly stated in the article. We have "Kelly's time as a chaplain was marked by an insistence on being on the front lines" and "The Marines of his division became so accustomed to seeing him that they nicknamed him "Father Foxhole" or "Foxhole Kelly"" but the two aren't linked directly. I'm happy to approve both hooks without the "insistence" part or perhaps you can suggest something? - Dumelow (talk) 09:25, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that makes sense Dumelow. How about was known as "Father Foxhole" for his consistent presence on the front lines? (I have no preference on which hook, whichever you think is best) ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 17:33, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I was initially very confused by this nomination: the link in the first hook went to the wrong Michael Chisholm! Article is new enough and long enough, and well sourced. I'm not sure that ALT1 is really eligible, as the article is specifically about Chisholm rather than the "praetorian guard", but ALT0 is interesting and checks out. I have made some copyedits to it, most notably changing the word "tutor" (an Oxford-ism, which has a different meaning at Cambridge) to "teacher" (the Cambridge-ism would be "supervisor", but that might be a little opaque). There are a couple of easy MoS fixes (dashes, capitalisation in references, removing page numbers from books listed as his works, three dots for ellipsis) which would be advisable before it hits the main page. QPQ needs to be is done. No evidence of copyvio, BLP or other serious concerns, and no images to check. UndercoverClassicist T·C 14:42, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seitz decided on Dec. 23, 1975, the clause meant only a single one-year renewal. The decision impacted all sports across North America and led to collectively bargained free agency in baseball."

Article was approved for GA on the 26th, so is new enough. At around 7000 characters, it is long enough. The article properly uses in-line citations and the copyvio detector finds no issues outside of the direct quotes used. The hook reads neutrally, is cited in-line (said reference is used in-line for much of the article besides, so easily meets that), and is interesting. The QPQ has been done and the image suggested is in the public domain and views fine on a smaller scale. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 02:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Generalissima: are you sure it's correct to say that Sun "founded" the university? The article doesn't quite state it in that way.

Hi @Generalissima: sorry to be difficult but are you sure that is right? It doesn't say founder or co-founder anywhere in the article. This source says: "On July 3, 1898, Emperor Guangxu approved a report to implement the Imperial University of Peking and to draft its charter. Sun Jianai, a senior Chinese official, was appointed “guanli daxuetang shiwu dachen,” or the (education) minister for the imperial university's affairs." The "guanli daxuetang shiwu dachen" is zh:Category:管理大学堂事务大臣. If we are to use co-founder we will need a source stating that. Onceinawhile (talk) 19:10, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frederick Prigg

  • Source: On p. 11 of the "Oregon Secretaries of State, Biographical Sketches, 1841-Present", it says John Edward Long was a physician, then goes on to say "Long served as secretary of the provisional government from May 25, 1844 to June 21, 1846. … He served in that position until he was drowned while fording the Clackamas River." In the next paragraph, the source says Frederick Prigg was a physician, then says "Prigg was appointed secretary of the provisional government to succeed Long … He fell to his death from a bluff into the Willamette River at Oregon City in October 1849." The same events are covered in Footnote 74 on p.36 of Bancroft’s History of Oregon, Volume II, but that source say Dr Long drown in the Willamette River at Oregon City (vice Clackamas River, which also flows through Oregon City). As a result, I decided not to name the river in the hook … instead of just said "river", which applies regardless of which river he drowned in.

  • Congratulations on the Good Article status! This article is newly promoted to Good Article, and is sufficiently long and well cited. The Copyvio pulls up a flag to an obscure pdf, which must be an example of the reverse (pdf using text from wikipedia). The hook is excellent, terse and to the point but a tease that draw the readers in; if only to marvel at how you can write an encyclopedia entry on '1'. Hook source checks out. QPQ not required for the nominator. Approved! Chaiten1 (talk) 13:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Polyamorph and Chaiten1: What is your opinion of the hook ALT1: ... that many older typewriters do not have a dedicated key for the numeral 1?--Launchballer 14:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Polyamorph and Launchballer, sorry for disrupting. But apparently, is it possible we add some wiklinks about those three? To me, readers may not understand about mathematical terms. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 23:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Factorial maybe, although square and square root are surely common terms.--Launchballer 23:40, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did consider wikilinks, the issue is that the wikilink 1 is small, even when bolded. I wanted to make sure that users focus was on the link to 1 and not some other non-GA article. But I would support a wikilink to factorial (which is a GA), and indeed square (algebra) and square root if these would be helpful. Polyamorph (talk) 05:44, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Review: Hook fact is cited in the article to an RS, and is sufficiently interesting; hook length is ok; earwig copyvio shows no issues; DYK check shows 5 x expansion so article is valid for DYK: Assuming article is at 5x now, expansion began 60 edits ago on September 29, 2024; 223 characters to 4,485 characters is actually a 20x expansion; article is long enough; article is presentable, stable and fully cited (note it was recently saved from AfD by the nominator); QPQ done.

Overall: The first hook seems most attractive and has been checked out thoroughly. It's the one that works best with the picture as I like the way that it identifies all the people. I haven't been able to run Earwig yet and want to do so as there's a lot of quotations and plot to consider. There are also some copy-editing niggles such as some Americanisms and the crooked lead image but I may take care of those myself pending the final review.

Thanks for the review, Andrew. I agree that the first hook is far and away the best one, with or without the image (though obviously much better with it). I would appreciate any and all copy-editing edits from you, especially for the Americanisms; I tried my best to conform to British English standards, but my eye for it is by no means perfect. Hopefully Earwig will be up and running shortly. ThaesOfereode (talk) 20:58, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. It was the centre/center spelling that caught my eye. I'm making a copy-editing pass through the article and addressing some pleonasm and other issues too. Feel free to push back if you disagree. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:30, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All excellent suggestions/fixes; I have a tendency for unnecessary periphrasis. I pushed back on minor quibbles – mostly with the plot and character descriptions, having spent quite some time reading and re-reading the play – but I believe all the changes should still be well in line with British standards. ThaesOfereode (talk) 00:12, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Earwig score was 3% which is negligible. The extensive quotes and lengthy synopsis are debatable but I don't consider these to be show-stoppers and so we can move forward. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:43, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sourced in article, passed GA recently, generally well written, interesting enough, my only issue is the hook is phrased weirdly in the last half in a way that feels strangely ambiguous. "in retaliation for the same treatment his son Feyyaz received?" can you think of another way to say this? Also maybe don't mention the name of his son; possibly do "in retaliation for the same having been done to his son"? PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:14, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only thing I will say is that I don't think this image should be used, as I don't find it particularly informative, and the caption is also quite long. However, if anyone disagrees, feel free. TheBritinator (talk) 22:42, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On a second look, it would appear that the website the image is sourced from declares that the image is published under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license, which would make it incompatible with commons. If I am missing something, please feel free to correct me. TheBritinator (talk) 22:49, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can certainly edit the caption to be shorter (more concise), but from what I gather the image is a no go? I am not the original uploader of it to Commons, nor am I super familiar with copyright, so I will defer that judgement to you, though the image on commons itself says CC 4.0 international license. Also, would I edit the caption here, submit a new entry, or something else? How does the process work exactly? Thank you! Harren the Red (talk) 23:16, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
