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]
Pulled per WT:DYK#Allison Reese and WP:DYKELECT. Not the nom's fault, and so this shouldn't be timed out. I've moved it to SOHA.--Launchballer 22:10, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flibirigit (talk) 17:26, 23 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

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

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I have some concern about the roundabout way the citation verifies the hook. Presently, I think there are two logical leaps being made from "sought suggestions from the local hockey community, and Joe's name was recommended" → "receiving a recommendation from Canada?" and then "Finland was searching for a Finnish speaking instructor with knowledge of the Canadian ice hockey system." → "coached the Finland men's national ice hockey team" connected by the "after receiving" makes it sound like the coaching position was directly a result from the recommendation from Canada. Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:25, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm okay with Canada being a stand-in for "local community" (we're small, I get it; and it is limited at DYK) but the implied timeline seems like a bit of a stretch, but could be easily remedied. Suggested alternative: ALT1: "... that Joe Wirkkunen, after receiving a recommendation from Canada, would go on to coach the Finland men's national ice hockey team?" just to clarify. Bobby Cohn (talk) 17:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Another opinion is needed for ALT1 since neither I nor the original reviewer are eligible to approve it. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 00:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bobby Cohn and Flibirigit: Neither the article nor the source say where he was recommended from. It just says "to former Canadian Amateur Hockey Association president Frank Sargent".--Launchballer 09:48, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The source states "from the local hockey community", which is Port Arthur, where both Wirkkunen and Sargent resided and were involved in hockey. I have added that specific phrase to the article. Flibirigit (talk) 00:34, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Port Arthur and Canada are not the same thing.--Launchballer 21:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You'll note I did catch this on my first pass. An explanation as to why this botherered me less when I came to review this is that if something (i.e.: a person, a recommendation) comes from Port Author, it also inherently comes from Canada. Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Let's roll.--Launchballer 21:43, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • 1961 Pittsburg State Gorillas (pictured with UPI trophy) leads one to believe it's a picture of the entire team. It's not a bad photo, but it's nothing terribly exciting either so I think we'd be OK running this one without the image. RoySmith (talk) 22:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chaiten1 (talk) 19:22, 20 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

There is probably nothing I like seeing more on DYK than women scientists. Thanks for this one, Chaiten1. The article is new and long enough. It covers the subject's life and career perfectly well. The sources are of very high quality and even quite accessible too. There are two issues, however. Firstly, "Crane lived in Brighton for the rest of her life" and "a role later taken on by Crane's father" require citations. Secondly, the wording of the hook can be improved. I would propose something like:
  • ALT1: that despite having no university training, Agnes Crane described a new species of brachiopod in 1886?
Let me know what you think. Surtsicna (talk) 20:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the encouragement! I have added citations to the statements in the page: one is Crane's births/marriages/death entry from FreeBMD, as other sources (like probate) are behind paywalls; the other is from Edward Crane's obituary. I do like your suggestion for rewording in ALT1 - I have just inserted 'of brachiopod' - thank you!Chaiten1 (talk) 09:06, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Surtsicna - just wondering if you had a moment to return to this DYK proposal? Thank you Chaiten1 (talk) 19:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, thanks for pinging me, Chaiten1. I must have missed your response on my watchlist. All is good on my end, but another editor should review ALT1. Thank you! Surtsicna (talk) 19:54, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming good faith on the completeness of Surtsicna's review, ALT1 is suitable. It's interesting and appropriately cited in the article. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 00:36, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not a review, more of a comment: the current hook is very US-centric. The rivalry will probably be understood by US readers, but those outside the US may not be as familiar with the Gators-Seminoles rivalry. My suggestion would be to add some more context to the hook, like saying Olsson helped the Seminoles in their soccer championships. As written, the hook doesn't even make it clear that she's a soccer player! Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:20, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hmm, I wouldn't describe that as US-centric, just local. But not being familiar with the rivalry is kind of central to the hook. Could add that she won championships but I think that would be wordy/distract. Added sport. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 13:32, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I meant that readers would need to know that Florida and Florida State have a rivalry to get the hook. It's a different thing from Olsson being unaware of it. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:41, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think most readers can infer that two schools within the same state are probably rivals. For the hook, I'd add Olsson's nationality to make it a bit clearer about why she wouldn't know about the rivalry. SounderBruce 03:17, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added Swedish to the hook for additional context. I think the additional context about her being a football player and being from Sweden satisfies my original concerns. Full review still needed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Might as well do a review as no one else has picked it up. The article is new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination. Her date of birth is mentioned in the article but lacks a reference, so that will need to be addressed. The lede also has a minor grammatical error ("Sweden at youth international level" instead of "Sweden at the youth international level"). I did not find any close paraphrasing, and a QPQ has been provided. The changes to the hook have addressed my concerns and I feel it now sufficiently meets WP:DYKINT as I think the hook fact works with the additional context, even if readers are not aware of the rivalry. Although I added "Swedish" to the hook, it does not fundamentally change the hook fact and it's already verified in the article, so I'll give it an IAR approval rather than ask a new reviewer to approve it, once the issues raise above have been addressed.

  • Hi Cambalachero! Overall, I think the article is well-written. Earwig showed no copyright violations, and the article was moved to mainspace on 16 August, so it is new enough. However, I have some concerns about the plot section. Although there are no specific standard for its length and the current plot summary is sourced, I think it is a bit too lengthy, as it is longer than the lead, editorial history, and reception sections combined. Trimming it down to around 400 to 700 words would be more suitable for the article, so it does not overly focus on in-universe content. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:01, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: ALT2a is probably the most interesting of these. However, the article only says that she drew inspiration from Freedom Summer, rather than aimed to recreate it. The source likewise mentions it as an inspiration for their methodology ("In 2017, [the organization] started to test this theory of what it means to do mass voter registration in the same ways that folks did during Freedom Summer"). Currently, the only ALT that is supported and reasonably interesting is ALT3 (AGF on the paywalled source). Thoughts?  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:41, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492: Thanks for the review! For ALT2a, I went to the word "recreate" to try to summarize what I believe Ms. Bennett was describing. Let me make another attempt:
ALT2b: ...that voting-rights activist Arekia Bennett was inspired by Freedom Summer, Mississippi's 1964 voter registration drive, in 2017?
I still find it somewhat lacking, because it doesn't explicitly say: "they were inspired to do another voter registration drive in 2017". However, I would think most people could/world infer that. Here's another take trying to put it all together:
ALT2c: ...that voting-rights activist Arekia Bennett was inspired to organize a voter registration drive in 2017 by Freedom Summer, Mississippi's 1964 drive?
I'm struggling to make a sentence that flows though. What reads best to you? Thanks again! CaptainAngus (talk) 00:56, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Alt2 is the best out of the three. Alt0 could be interesting, but too vague - "this period" needs clarification, might be helpful if the year that the NYT made the comment was added. Alt1 I don't find interesting at all and would not recommend. All three hooks are properly sourced. Please ping me once the QPQ is complete so that I may approve the nomination.QPQ complete. Prefer alt3 to alt2 but both can be used.

Earwig doesn't flag any copyvio. The article is of good quality and in my opinion could pass a Good Article nomination if the nominator is interested in that. Jaguarnik (talk) 21:46, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaguarnik:, hello and thank you for the review. I also agree that Alt2 is probably going to be the most interesting to a broad audience. Maybe I could revise it a bit:
  • ALT3: ... that Samuel Barber, himself an accomplished, conservatory-trained pianist, said he could not adequately play his own Piano Sonata? Source: Sherman, Robert; Barber, Samuel (2010) [1978]. "Samuel Barber Interviewed by Robert Sherman (1978)". Samuel Barber Remembered: A Centenary Tribute. Boydell & Brewer. ISBN 978-1-58046-350-8. JSTOR 10.7722/j.ctt7zsv91.11., "I played [the sonata] for [Horowitz] at his house and I fell on the floor at the end of the third movement—that was really just a joke, but they were a little worried about me. It was awfully hard!", Tocco, James (1977). "Happy Birthday, Samuel Barber!". Camera Three. CBS., Barber: "My sonata? No, no, no. I can't [play it]." and Heyman, Barbara B. (2001). "Barber, Samuel (Osmond)". In Stanley Sadie; John Tyrrell (eds.). The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (2nd ed.). London: Macmillan.
Let me know what you think. I would be fine with either ALT2 or ALT3; the ball is in your court! Zingarese talk · contribs (please Reply to icon mention me on reply; thanks!) 15:08, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Zingarese: Personally I think alt 3 works a bit better than alt2, since it gives more context to why it's so surprising that Samuel Barber could not play his own sonata. I would remove "accomplished", not because he wasn't accomplished, but to avoid MOS:PUFFERY and because I don't think it's super necessary.Jaguarnik (talk) 20:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0 is good, but somewhat more vague and mysterious than it is interesting, I think. ALT1 is more interesting, but jargony - I had to go looking through the source to learn what EBSynth is or why it's important. Can the software be omitted from the hook? As a suggestion:

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.

  • Comment about the hook and BLP: George Pell died on 10 January 2023, so he is no longer a living person. Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Recently dead or probably dead (WP:BDP) says:

    Generally, this policy does not apply to material concerning people who are confirmed dead by reliable sources. The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death—six months, one year, two years at the outside. Such extensions would apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the subject that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide or particularly gruesome crime.

    It has been over 20 months since the subject's death so I don't think the BLP policy applies to him anymore. If it did apply to him, then WP:DYKHOOKBLP would be applicable. WP:DYKHOOKBLP says:

    Hooks must adopt a neutral point of view. Hooks that unduly focus on negative aspects of living persons should be avoided. Note that this is a stricter requirement than BLP as a whole: a sentence that might be due weight in the article can become undue if used in the hook, as all of the surrounding context of the individual's wider life is missing.

    The hook could be seen as putting focus on negative aspect of the subject's life (in mentioning the conviction even though it also says the conviction was overturned), but as WP:BDP does not apply, I do not think WP:DYKHOOKBLP is violated.

  • I started to review this, but then I got to copyediting so I'm ineligible to review. It grieves me to say that I could not find material for an even remotely off-color ALT. EEng 02:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. However, I don't think this hook works for two reasons. One, the fun of this hook is backwards. The punchline of this hook is when you get to the article and realize it is about a painting and not actual beachfront property. That's witty, but the wit isn't in what one sees on the main page. On its face, the buying of property along a beach isn't interesting, and I don't think the hook will draw in many readers so that they get the wit of the hook which requires actually going to the page. Two, the hook is factually inaccurate. Even if a painting depicts beachside property, the purchaser of a painting knows they aren't buying land, they are buying a painting. I get the humor/wit behind the hook, and if this were an April Fools hook proposal it would be appropriate. In short: we need a new hook that is hooky at first glance and verifiable.4meter4 (talk) 22:33, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Hi, Koopastar. I'm interested in reviewing this article. Please make sure the hooks are linked in the body of the article. I don't see ALT1 fully linked in the article. I see portions of it unsourced in the lead instead. How do you feel about removing all the other links from ALT1 so that only You Liked This (Okay, Computer!) is linked? This could help increase traffic to your nomination and prevent people from clicking on the other links instead. Viriditas (talk) 00:09, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ivanvector: Following your suggestion of removing the links, I propose the following hook:
  • ALT1a: ... that the music video for "You Liked This (Okay, Computer!)" ends with an anthropomorphic lizard on the Moon alongside the phrase "Wake Up Sheeple!" on a billboard?
Also, the hook isn't from the lead but rather is sourced in the music video section, from "anthropomorphic lizard" to the end of the first paragraph, followed by the article additionally supplemented for this DYK nomination. If this is incorrect in a way that I don't realize though, apologies. Koopastar (talk) 01:10, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Koopastar, I think you meant to ping Viriditas here, they are reviewing your article, not me. Cheers! Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:31, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that, copied the ping function from my previous nomination since I'm not used to DYK not having a reply function yet. @Viriditas: Here's a proper ping. Koopastar (talk) 20:03, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, in response to the above, I was talking about ALT0, but typed ALT1 by accident. ALT1 checks out. Like you said, the content for ALT1 is in the music video section. I still can't find ALT0 sourced. Viriditas (talk)
The lead content used in ALT0 is a rewording of the first sentence of the composition section, which is sourced by [7]. I opted to have the lead be different phrasing of the body so as not to create redundancy, but if necessary I can copy or swap the phrase down to have it be behind a source. Koopastar (talk) 20:59, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some nominators will duplicate the ref just for the DYK, and after it appears in the main page, they will remove it. This shows the reviewer and others that the hooks are cited, even if it unnecessarily duplicates the ref for a brief period of time. Viriditas (talk) 21:02, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Both alts should be good now, as I made an edit to the article. Koopastar (talk) 21:18, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will finish up the review now. The only question I have is about the use of interview sources to support this material, which is sort of tricky since they ride the line between primary and secondary sources, and I tend to want to see secondary sources for hooks, however, I'm not seeing anything that is controversial or unusual, so I think we are almost good to go. I'll ping you if I have any questions. Viriditas (talk) 21:41, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Koopastar: Thanks for your good work on this article. I have a few questions:

  • Not a big deal, but in terms of reader expectations, I did expect to see a mention of either the spoken word or musique concrète genres (or both) in the lead. I realize you have them in the infobox, but as a fan of musique concrète, I was wondering why it was absent from the lead. Viriditas (talk) 22:34, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • In 2021, Will Wood took inspiration from Radiohead's "Fitter Happier"...In tribute to his inspiration, Wood directly included the song's origin album OK Computer (1997) as part of the title in parentheses.
  • I see why you wrote it this way, but I'm concerned the general reader might be a touch confused. I always try to write for a reader that knows nothing about the topic. In this regard, you don't say "Fitter Happier" is a song or track; could you specify this outright? It may seem obvious to you and I, but not everyone is a music maven. Also, it is slightly confusing that you wait until the end of the paragraph to tell the reader the name of the album. How about adding that "Wood took inspiration from Radiohead's song "Fitter Happier" from the album OK Computer (1997)" at the beginning? And then at the end, simply saying "Wood directly included the song's origin album as part of the title in parentheses", since we already know that? It's okay if you disagree, but it did stand out to me after reading the article several times. Viriditas (talk) 22:07, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Following "Cicada Days" in May 2022, Wood began teasing the release of the new single on YouTube.
  • Same thing here. Maybe "Following the single "Cicada Days"..." I realize that sounds redundant given what follows, but I find it helpful to prompt the reader, especially those who don't know what "Cicada Days" is here. Viriditas (talk) 22:18, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The single was published on June 10. On "In case I make it," (2022), it appears as the tenth song, which is followed by "The Main Character" as a thematic successor.
  • A bit of narrative, chronological continuity might help here. "The single was published on June 10, 2022, followed by the album In case I make it on July 29, where it appears as the tenth song..." Do it however you want, but I was curious about the dates here.

  • Standing's voice is represented by a wired mannequin head with screens, who begins speaking over sheep jumping across a fence

Interesting GA biography, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Of the hooks, I prefer ALT1, by far. "Possessed" is too ambiguous a word, and that spirit not known (at least to me). I like the description of the ceremony better than labelling her as priestess (ALT2), and ALT3 says nothing more than the obvious: that we didn't know her ;) - In the article, I'd say something about the lead image, such as "depiction". Seems to be someone's dream of her ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:29, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

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).

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.

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.

  • : 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.

  • Hi @CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath:. Article is new enough, long enough, well-written and cited. Earwig didn't detect any copyvio. No QPQ needed. The source for each hook checks out. I think ALT1 is the most interesting hook, but the phrasing is a bit awkward and probably hews too close to the source you've given. Might I suggest: ".... that chronic pain syndromes affect approximately 20% of people and account for 15-20% of doctor visits?". Overall, good work. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 14:54, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tenpop421: I agree alt1 is the most interesting. I really struggled with the wording with that one because MOS:MEDLANG kind of frowns upon using the term "doctor" hence why the sentence is a bit closer to the source than I would usually write. However, I did remove the prevalent condition part cause it's not really needed. Thank you for taking the time to review this! IntentionallyDense (talk) 17:11, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@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.

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?

  • All the sources appear to be reliable.
  • DYK doesn't impose any minimum prose quality, but I find some parts of the prose confusing enough that I'm thinking a trip through WP:GOCE might be a good idea. For example, in It is more difficult to temper milk chocolate, the word "more" implies a comparison. So this should say "... than something else". But the real issue is the next paragraph, which is the one which directly supports the hook fact. Sugar lowers the melting point of crystal structures, as they are theorized to act as nuclei. What is "they"? I think what this is supposed to say is "... as sugar molecules are theorized to act as crystallization nuclei", but it's really not clear. The addition of lecithin somewhat slowed the rate at which the reaction began What reaction? The crystallization of the cocoa butter? And why is "slowed" in past tense? This isn't just nit-picking about grammar; it's confusing enough that it's hard to be sure if it really does support the hook. RoySmith (talk) 01:11, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • New enough (submitted within four days of creation), long enough (8,654 characters). Well sourced with inline citations; written neutrally. Earwig flags up a "violation possible" with a high percentage of similarity, but this turns out to be due to the large number of memorial quotes which are properly attributed; personally I think there are too many of those memorial quotes for an encyclopedia article (it's an encyclopedia article, not an obituary), but not a deal breaker for DYK. (The other copy fix I would recommend is to find alternative wording for "she was heavily involved following the 2022 Winnipeg serial killings", which doesn't sound good.) QPQ is done.

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]

My problem with the original image is that it does not display well at {{main page image/DYK}}, though the original is significantly better. I'll let a prepbuilder make the decision.

  • 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." [8]

  • 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]

ALT2: ... that Engel Nawatiseb reportedly left the Landless People's Movement just a month after joining because of disagreements over who should drive during the party's fifth anniversary celebration?

The sources are the two already given. Yue🌙 20:13, 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.

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.

  • 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!

Image eligibility:

QPQ: No - One QPQ has been done, but this nomination needs three QPQs. It's a little confusing, given that this nomination page claims that only one QPQ is needed, but WP:QPQ says that "Where a nomination offers more than one new or expanded article, an article-for-article quid pro quo (QPQ) is required for each nominated article. As soon as a new nominator's hook includes articles beyond their fifth nomination of an article for DYK, each of those requires a separate QPQ review." Since you have six DYK credits, you need two more QPQs - one for each of the three articles.
Overall: @Tenpop421: Nice work on these articles. This nomination actually needs two more QPQs (this nomination page claims that you are required to give 1 QPQ, but that is an error and doesn't match what WP:QPQ says).

  • 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]

I recently had the "save discarded edits" preference enabled and I had the editing tab open for a while since I was planning to review this. It seems that the new edits were not detected by the tool after refreshing and instead reverted to an earlier version of the article, hence why my edit overrode the review and I didn't know or notice that a review had already been done.

Ahhh thanks for clarifying, Narutolovehinata5! It is fine. I was just a bit confused, because I remember the nomination being approved, but that comment suddenly disappeared and it was undergoing review again. Thought I might be delusional or something.

  • 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]

  • Approve hook and image Article was made yesterday, so is new enough. At around 5000 characters, it is long enough. The article reads neutrally and properly uses in-line citations. Due to non-English sources, the copyvio detector isn't all that useful, but some spot checks I made look good. The hook is interesting, short enough, and cited in-line. The sources for the hook check out after translating. The image used is in the public domain and works fine as a small image. The QPQ has been done. Everything looks good to go!

Dusko Doder

  • Source: "Doder, who was known for his scoops, was reporting for The Post in February 1984 when he noticed hundreds of lights blazing at the Soviet Defense Ministry in Moscow. 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.”"

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - ALT0 is fine. However, both the source for ALT1 and your translation of that quote say that the scenes were almost not filmed in the US.

  • 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.

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, give me a ping when you hear back and I'll pop back to complete the review. As you say the photo is almost certainly taken for official purposes but good to have confirmation - Dumelow (talk) 15:26, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Howdy @Dumelow:, I've just got off the phone with the PA Veterans Museum where the Inquirer got the photo from and they confirmed that the photo is an official military photo and in the public domain. ~Darth StabroTalk/Contribs 18:23, 28 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]
Approving ALT2 and ALT3 above. I don't yet have newspapers.com access but happy to AGF that the source supports the statement in the article " The Marines of his division became so accustomed to seeing him that they nicknamed him 'Father Foxhole'"; seems to be corroborated elsewhere anyway - Dumelow (talk) 20:01, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Gazamp, fantastic article. I can remember this building being demolished so soon after it was built, an outrage for sustainable construction. Review: article created 23 September and far exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck on sources cited; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in article and check out to sources cited; image is appropriate and freely licensed.

Farnese Artemis

Farnese Artemis in the National Archaeological Museum, Naples
Farnese Artemis in the National Archaeological Museum, Naples


Source: Mann: "Maggiore attenzione è sempre stata posta sull’interpretazione delle protuberanze del busto: si è già detto sulla possibilità di trovarsi dinanzi a delle mammelle, alludendo quindi al potere della fertilità. Tuttavia, contro questa ipotesi si contesta che le parti anatomiche, in quasi tutte le migliori repliche, sono scolpite in pietra nera (o bronzo), mentre le mammelle si presentano come tutto l’apparato decorativo (in alabastro), vedendo in esse, quindi, dei semplici ornamenti. Molto più accreditata la possibilità che si tratti della rappresentazione di scroti di toro offerti alla dea durante cerimonie sacrificali. Del resto, in un culto declinato quasi esclusivamente al femminile, in cui il sacerdote officiante era un eunuco, le sacerdotesse erano vergini e le devote giovani donne non ancora sposate, gli scroti di tori rappresenterebbero un forte simbolo del potere di Artemide sugli uomini, garante della fertilità e della futura prosperità per tutti i suoi fedeli. Probabile, inoltre, che in un culto iniziatico questi scroti, come delle “sacche”, contenessero del miele, e che sulle mani venissero posti fiori e api (simboli che ricorrono anche lungo l’ependytes) in segno di devozione; in tal modo la dea veniva venerata come un’ape regina e la città diveniva il suo alveare. Non è un caso infatti che uno dei simboli di Efeso fosse proprio l’ape, come è attestato dai una serie di rinvenimenti numismatici." Translation: More attention has always been paid to the interpretation of the protuberances of the bust: we have already mentioned the possibility of breasts, thus alluding to the power of fertility. However, against this hypothesis it is disputed that the anatomical parts, in almost all the best replicas, are carved in black stone (or bronze), while the breasts are presented as the entire decorative apparatus (in alabaster), thus seeing them as mere ornaments. Much more credible is the possibility that they are the representation of bull scrotums offered to the goddess during sacrificial ceremonies. Moreover, in an almost exclusively female-dominated cult, in which the officiating priest was a eunuch, the priestesses were virgins and the devotees young women not yet married, bull scrotums would represent a strong symbol of Artemis' power over men, the guarantor of fertility and future prosperity for all her worshippers. It is also probable that in an initiatory cult these scrotums, like ‘sacs’, contained honey, and that flowers and bees (symbols that also recur along the ependytes) were placed on the hands as a sign of devotion; thus the goddess was worshipped as a queen bee and the city became her hive. Indeed, it is no coincidence that one of the symbols of Ephesus was the bee, as attested by a series of numismatic finds.

Review: Things on the article and technical things.

  • OK, the article is both new enough and big enough. It was created only a few days ago on September 25, and is more than 3000 characters.
  • The copyvio tool found only 14.5%, so that checks out.
  • The article cites only three sources, which admittedly isn't much. But they all seem to be reliable.
  • QPQ has been done.

The hook itself:

  • The hook itself is properly cited and appears in the article. One small issue I have here is that the source itself is a primary one that comes from the museum, rather than a secondary one. However, given than this is a museum, and one that has been in operation since 1777, I think it is acceptable.
  • The hook its is also short enough, having a prose size of less than 200 characters.
  • The hook is also quite interesting. I'm sure the references to women's breasts and bull scrotums are definitely going to catch people's attention. I'm still thinking if maybe the sentence could be slightly reworded. Would you oppose changing it to "that while the objects on the Farnese Artemis had initially been identified as female breasts"? Using the past tense "had" instead of "have" seems more appropriate here. Also, from my understanding, the belief that the objects on Artemis' chest are breast is one that was there from the very beginning this statue was discovered and housed in the museum. Using "initially" feels more appropriate than "earlier".
    • Besides that, "that the objects on the Farnese Artemis, initially identified as female breasts, are now claimed by the Museum housing the statue to depict bull scrotums?" is another alternative.
  • The image used to support the hook is free. However, one thing I'm wondering is if it'd be better to use this image instead? Given that the discussion is on the objects on Artemis' chest, using a close-up seems more appropriate.

@WatkynBassett: Overall, interesting article. I'd definitely like to learn more about the statue if you decide to expand the article in the future. As for the hook, I'm leaning close to approving, although I have a few questions. However, all of my questions/suggestions are not things I'm uncompromising on. If you think the hook is all right as is, I can be convinced to leave it. PanagiotisZois (talk) 18:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • @PanagiotisZois: I feel your frustration with the scarcity of cited sources. Usually, I am quite good at accessing even quite obscure sources. But the Italian sources cited in the bibliography section of the museum's text eluded my digital access.
    • Your wording advice concerning the hook is well considered. I think using "had initially" is indeed a preferable choice. So I would propose
    • ALT1: "... that while the objects on the Farnese Artemis had initially been identified as female breasts, the Museum housing the statue now claims that they depict bull scrotums?"
    • Your suggestion concerning the image is one which I gave some thought before bringing this article to DYK. I agree that the image proposed by you is in principle much better suited because the objects in question are better visible. However, I thought that this image is a bit out of focus and thus not "clear". So maybe we could leave the image choice to the expert promoter?
    • Thank you for your valuable time reviewing this nomination! WatkynBassett (talk) 06:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WatkynBassett: Thank you for rewording the hook. I am inclined to agree that an issue with the alternate image is that it isn't centered. One thing I do appreciate about the full-body image is that it supports the source's argument that only Artemis' body parts are depicted in black, while her clothing (including the sacks) is depicted as white alabaster. I do agree that it's probably best for the issue regarding the image to be left up to the people that end up placing the DYN nominations on the main page. Hope you do more work with this article. However, on my end, I will pass this nomination for ALT 1 as is with the full-body image.

It would be interesting if someone ended up making a whole article about Ephesian Artemis one day and her differences from her "mainstream" counterpart. Thank you for bringing up this topic to our attention. PanagiotisZois (talk) 14:20, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • QPQ has been completed.
  • The hook is intriguing, but could you double check that the hook facts are in the article with references following immediately. I couldn't find "divorcee", "travelled to Polynesia in 1847" is OK, "working as an illustrator" and "drawing people such as Queen Pōmare IV" are not immediately followed by references.

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.

@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]

This looks good to me - QPQ done, and no other issues. Thank you! Chaiten1 (talk) 07:22, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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: Consider changing King's Prize to Sovereign's, since that's what's cited in the the OUP, though I understand this may be an anachronism. Will leave up to the promoter; otherwise good to go. ThaesOfereode (talk) 22:34, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks -- "Sovereign's Prize" and "King's Prize" are the same thing, though there's another argument for "Sovereign's" (that no woman had ever shot for the prize while Victoria was on the throne). I've made that change. UndercoverClassicist T·C 10:19, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • New enough GA (what a really cool subject!). Hook is fascinating and within the parameters. Image looks good to go for running on the main page—maybe I'll write an article for the building? QPQ done. No concerns regarding refs, copyvio, etc. Great work! ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neurocysticercosis

(
)
  • ... that neurocysticercosis has been referred to as the "great imitator" because it can mimic many other neurological disorders? Source: Garcia et al. 2014: " In endemic areas, neurocysticercosis is regarded as the great imitator because it can mimic almost any neurological disorder."
    • ALT1: ... that Küchenmeister showed that the consumption of cysticercus from pork caused human intestinal taeniasis by feeding a prisoner food that had cysticerci gathered from a recently killed pig? Source: Del Brutto et al. 2015: "Küchenmeister demonstrated that ingestion of cysticercus from pork resulted in human intestinal taeniasis, by feeding a convicted man, condemned to death, with sausages and a noodle soup both containing cysticerci obtained from a recently slaughtered pig."

  • Quote supplied, matches hook, new enough (5x expanded), long enough, well written and looks good. Interesting. The lead image of this article will haunt me forever. Seems good to go. Alt1 is fine but less interesting, and also hard to follow + kind of tangential to this article. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:12, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment completely unrelated to DYK eligibility, but is "e0008208" a page number? If it's for a figure it should use the loc= parameter. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:15, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PARAKANYAA: Thanks for the review! I agree that Alt1 is kind of odd and tangential so the first hook may be better. e0008208 is in fact a page number and not a figure. Some medical journals have really weird page numbers. IntentionallyDense (talk) 20:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TIL. Thanks! PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chocolate Room

(
)
  • ... that the original exhibition of art installation Chocolate Room was shut down after attracting an "army of ants"?
"In 1970, during the 35th Venice Biennale, Ruscha delivered just such an unexpected encounter in Chocolate Room, his only installation work to date... Unfortunately, in an ironic twist of fate, an army of ants invaded the room, causing the premature demise of the installation."

  • 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]
I prefer my proposed hook as its a fundamental property of the number itself. Polyamorph (talk) 15:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries then.--Launchballer 15:06, 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]
