    2) "Trumpam varpai suskambo 1941 metų birželio 23-iąją, per Kauno radiofoną paskelbus, jog Raudonoji armija išvyta iš miesto" (English: The bells rang briefly on 23 June 1941, when the Kaunas radio station announced that the Red Army had been driven out of the city; second source);
    3) "Kariljonas vėl suskambo 1956 pradėjus koncertuoti (nuo 1957 reguliariai) kompozitoriams V. Kuprevičiui ir jo sūnui G. A. Kuprevičiui" (English: The carillon rang again in 1956 when the composers V. Kuprevičius and his son G. A. Kuprevičius started performing (since 1957 regularly); again first source).

  • I repeat the comment I've made elsewhere that "Nazi German" is redundant and doesn't make for good English; as an adjective, it is found almost exclusively in works by Eastern European authors. (t · c) buidhe 23:25, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
@Buidhe: Thanks for pointing this out. I have updated the DYK hook by removing word "Nazi" to harmonize it with article German occupation of Lithuania during World War II. -- Pofka (talk) 20:48, 21 October 2024 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Pofka put in a lot of work on this article translating Lithuanian-language sources. The article is sufficiently long and fact-based. At their request, I copyedited the article. This effort is worthy for a DYK. I'd also offer to copyedit the hook: (ALT1) "that the Kaunas Carillon stopped playing music for sixteen years (except for one day in 1941) due to the Soviet and German occupations of Lithuania?" I think this is a bit more naturally worded and not too detailed. Thrakkx (talk) 03:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

@Thrakkx: Thanks for copyediting the article and for reviewing this DYK nomination. I agree that your suggested ALT1 version is better and is easier to read, thus this updated version should be preferred when adding a DYK hook about the Kaunas Carillon to the main page of Wikipedia. -- Pofka (talk) 18:06, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
