1. Did the editor make the very first encyclopedic content edit for each article? This partially satisfies the requirements for FA, ITN, DTK, and OTD.
2. If the editor did not make the very first encyclopedic content edit for one or more of the above articles:
- In the case of FA, did the editor significantly improve and nominate it? (Look at the FAC discussion and the article history.)
- In the case of FP, did the editor create, restore it, or significantly improved the encyclopedic value of the image and nominated it? (Check the WP:FPC discussion and WP:POTD archives on the date in question.)
- In the case of ITN, did the editor substantially update and nominate it?
- In the case of DYK, did the editor expand it fivefold or nominated and passed a WP:GAN, and was the editor credited with the DYK entry? (Check to see if the editor was involved in the DYK nomination by reviewing his/her user contributions. This can be done as follows: Go to the user contribution history. Click on older. The URL should now contain a YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format time for the newest contribution on that page. Change the date to a proper date to look for the DYK info. Then search for "Did You" or something like that. The author may not have been involved in the nomination, but may have been credited nonetheless so check his/her user talk page the same way if you do not find nomination involvement.
