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
- change
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.

5x expanded by OlifanofmrTennant (talk). Self-nominated at 20:54, 1 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Kirby: King of Comics; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Expanded 5x, from 319 to 1614 characters; long enough. Well-sourced, neutral, no plagiarism. I like the first hook; its source is reliable. Great image; I agree that's a better one than the book cover. Well done taking a stub to a short-ish and salvageable article. Good to go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Figureskatingfan (talk • contribs) 21:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
I have pulled this nom from prep, as it fails to include a summary of the book's contents and thus fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. It also contains at least two errors, one which says Evanier "obtained" artworks from Kirby "while working for him" - he only obtained access, and not apparently while working for him, and another which says the book was met with "positive" reviews when in fact it was panned by The Guardian critic. The article clearly needs more work before it can be featured, if it should be featured at all given the apparent errors. Gatoclass (talk) 09:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I took a look at this. The summary is extremely short, to the point of remaining woefully incomplete. Still fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Time to pass on this as the nominator just isn't accepting what they are being told.4meter4 (talk) 13:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- @4meter4: I've expanded it a bit how much would be needed? I fear that to much would just be a mini biography of Jack Kirby. It took me a while to begin writing the summary as I didnt have my copy at the time.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 14:40, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- OlifanofmrTennant The summary needs to present a complete but not overly detailed picture of the book's entire plot. It should provide enough detail to give the reader a general picture of the book's contents. It should not be too vague (which it currently is) nor should it be overly detailed. It should be a summary. See MOS:PLOT and Wikipedia:Summary style for guidance. I would suggest removing the bulleted point by chapter. It isn't entirely necessary to break down the content into chapters. It would be better to concentrate on narrative. What is the story being told? Summarize that story. Since this is a biography it should be biographical. Best.4meter4 (talk) 14:57, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books/Non-fiction article on summaries for non-fiction such as biographies. It might be helpful to think about how you would summarize the book if you were writing for a summary on the book jacket of the back of the book, or if you were having to write a book summary for an English class, or an abstract for a journal article book review in which a summary is provided as part of a review. All of those require narrative and details but still succinct writing with an overview scope. You should be able to craft one or two paragraps of prose that summarizes the book's narrative arc. 4meter4 (talk) 15:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

- I have. I've just been struggling to do so as I havent written a book article before.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:21, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
I took a re-look and I think the summary is now sufficiently in-depth to pass WP:DYKCOMPLETE. I would have preferred a paragraph structure with smoother prose, but that is no reason to hold up a DYK review. All other DYK criteria check out. However, portions of both the Alt1 and Alt2 hook facts are not currently in the article. The quote "nowhere near finished" is not in the article, and there is no mention of a friendship between Evanier and Kirby. For this reason, only the original hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 16:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @4meter4: I made a few new hooks as those arent the best. Also since ALT0 is wrong I rephrased it. Also ALT2 is included now.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- OlifanofmrTennant Please add citations directly after each hook fact. Any sentence with a fact in a hook must have a citation to pass DYK review. In just rechecking Alt2, the sentence with the hook fact lacks a citation and the text that's in quotes in the hook is not in quotes in the article. Is this a quote? If it is it needs to be in quotes in the article's prose. If it's not a quote then it should not be in quotes within the hook sentence. I'm not going to even look at the other hooks until you have fixed this one and can assure me all the necessary citations are in place. Ping me when you are ready.4meter4 (talk) 17:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @4meter4: its there, its the gaurdian source. But reguardless I used the citation again higher in the paragraph.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant In looking at the Alt2 hook fact, it is not a quote of Evanier directly but it is a quote of The Guardian. The text needs to attribute it to The Guardian in quotes in both the article and the hook, or its a problem with WP:Plagiarism. This needs to be fixed. We can't promote an article with plagiarism issues. Now that I've seen this, I'm going to have to go through all the sources and make sure there aren't other issues of non-attributed text or close paraphrasing. I had trusted the original reviewer had done this, but I'm going to have to re-review with a careful eye on any copyright violations. In the mean time, please put the attributions for this quote in the article. Also, I was asking earlier for you to confirm that all the citations were in place for the many alt hooks you proposed. I don't want to have to keep coming back here and asking again for more citations. Every hook fact must have a citation immediately following the sentence of the hook fact. This may mean we duplicate citations in ways that we may not do when not featuring an article at DYK. This is one of those hoops that DYK requires, even if it seems redundant.4meter4 (talk) 19:12, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer, OlifanofmrTennant, 4meter4, and AirshipJungleman29: I'm having to reopening this, as it looks like the point made by Gatoclass above, that the hook mentions that Evanier "obtained" artworks from Kirby "while working for him" was not addressed, and that hook is not supported by the article. All I can see is "Evanier worked for Kirby and was a friend of his, giving him additional insight while writing the book", which isn't the same thing. On a more minor note, the second paragraph of the "Development" section is cited entirely to the book itself, which would be a WP:PRIMARY source. For a statement like "Kirby's family re-obtained the art following a public campaign to have them returned and legal threats from Kirby" I'd think a secondary source highly preferable.

the issues above are still not addressed, this is the third time it's been mentioned now. The only change to the article since my issue was raised above, was to add a couple more cites, but the problem is thathte article does not say anything about him obtaining works from Kirby while working from him. Come on please, the objections need to be addressed directly. Given that this has already been marked as "rejected" twice above and issues still remain more than two months later, it may be getting close to time to archive this and move on. — Amakuru (talk) 15:24, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

- The DYK hook uses “despite”, which is a word to watch per MOS:EDITORIAL. Maybe change “despite posing no threat” to “when he posed no threat” or something similar. Wafflefrites (talk) 21:11, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, noted and changed. Makeandtoss (talk) 21:17, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Would it be better to use "when" rather than "while"? According to Wikipedia, "while" is also a word to watch:
- Words to watch: but, despite, however, though, although, furthermore, while ...
- I actually think in this case, the sources support that it was later found there was no evidence that he posed a threat, but if the goal is to make the hook neutral, maybe we should avoid these "words to watch" in the hook. Wafflefrites (talk) 22:04, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that David Ben Avraham was only granted Israeli residency after he was killed by an Israeli reservist soldier? starship.paint (RUN) 10:09, 2 April 2024 (UTC) Source: https://www.timesofisrael.com/disturbing-video-shows-jewish-convert-fatally-shot-by-idf-in-west-bank-posed-no-threat/ Interior Minister Moshe Arbel posthumously approved Israeli residency status for Ben Avraham. “We must learn lessons from this unfortunate incident that took the life of David Ben Avraham and do our best to carry out his last wish to be part of the Israeli people,” the minister said in a statement. “Approving his request does him justice, even if it is too late and under tragic circumstances.”
Oh, and the image above is non-free. It is not CCTV. It is a body cam. starship.paint (RUN) 10:11, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Starship.paint: Thanks for the comment. Being controversial or not is subjective, the original hook is fully sourced to multiple reliable sources, including the Israeli military which certainly does not have a conflict of interest in this case. I stand by the original hook.
- As for the picture, it is certainly not copyrighted per WP: For example, "[i]f a security camera mounted in a lobby, recording 24 hours a day, captured a dramatic event, the video could be uncopyrighted." Also as evidenced by this example: [7]. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Makeandtoss: - that is not
pre-positioned recording devices
, notsecurity camera mounted in a lobby
, notinformation produced by an automated system, such as a CCTV or traffic enforcement camera
. It's either a body camera video or even a handphone video. [8] starship.paint (RUN) 14:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)- @Starship.paint: If it is a body cam then it is a "pre-positioned recording devices" and thus uncopyrighted. It is impossible to hold an M4 in a threatening way while holding a phone in the other hand. It is definitely a body cam video. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:52, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Makeandtoss: - that is not
- Now that I think about it, running the article at all on DYK would probably not be a good idea. ALT0 would raise concerns about NPOV, but even if those were allayed, it might be a bad look to run a hook about a Palestinian being killed by an Israeli on the main page, even if it was factually true. The content of the article itself may also give pause, especially now when the Gaza conflict is dominating headlines. This might be a case where, even if the article would technically be eligible, it may not be a good fit for DYK given the circumstances. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:49, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for expressing your opinion. But again why would there be problems of NPOV when Israel itself has admitted to this POV? If there is no opposing POV, then there is no NPOV issue. The article is well-written and is eligible for DYK. Why do you think it is a "bad look" to run a hook about a Palestinian being killed by an Israeli on the main page, when a DYK about a Ukrainian being killed by a Russian was posted at the height of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in April 2022?: "... that Ukrainian actress Oksana Shvets, who was killed in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, starred in the 2013 joint Ukrainian–Russian television family saga House with Lilies alongside Russian actors?" Makeandtoss (talk) 13:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Had I known about that hook I would have opposed it as well. But for what it's worth, the Israel-Palestine conflict is a much more heated, longer lasting conflict. A hook that basically says "Israel did something bad to a Palestinian" being put on the main page would be a very very bad look for DYK, especially with the ongoing conflict. At the very least it might result in complaints either at WT:DYK or at WP:ERRORS, and at worst it could lead to criticism of the project as a whole. There are some topics that, usually for reasons beyond the control of Wikipedia or editors, are probably not a good fit for DYK and this is probably one of them.

- I don't think it's appropriate for WP to display a double standard given whatever excuse. The article is well-written and is eligible for DYK. Anything other than that is subjective. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: -

- This article reminds me of Murder of George Floyd and that article was featured in Wikipedia’s In the news. Most of the sources that reported on this are actually Jewish sources. I added a detail that he was shot in the lower body (which was reverted). There are some details missing from this English Wiki article. The Hebrew Wikipedia article actually has more details. According to the Hebrew article, he was shot in the lower body, and afterward a tourniquet was applied and they called an ambulance.Wafflefrites (talk) 13:43, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. @ Narutolovehinata5 This is a perennial topic which I always respond to with the same comment which is we follow policy. We follow Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines and we follow WP:NPOV and WP:Verifiability. As with the rest of wikipedia, DYK is WP:NOTCENSORED. We feature controversial topics like this all the time on the main page in Wikipedia:In the news. Likewise, we have run hooks on even more controversial topics than this one in the past at DYK. Controversy is not a valid reason to reject a hook as long as the article is neutrally written and cited to reliable RS.4meter4 (talk) 06:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- The assertion regarding a strict following of WP:NOTCENSORED is incorrect, Content that will appear on the main page is often 'censored' in that it undergoes additional considerations to those that would apply to article space, including WP:ITN. CMD (talk) 06:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I would say that we curate not censor the main page. We curate the main page because there is a limited amount of content that can be featured at any one time. And while we may avoid inflammatory language purposefully at DYK and ITN as part of that curation, I personally have never seen a successful case of outright censorship being enacted against a given topic. Typically we work to find a way to feature eligible articles with sensitive content by modifying the language of how we present those topics on the main page. That said, there may be cases of censorship in the past that I personally am not aware of. If they have happened, they shouldn't have as a matter of policy.4meter4 (talk) 21:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Marco Pierre White Jr was rejected, although looking at it now it's hard to argue that as being particularly main page worthy. (I could very much do with you if I ever decide to GA it and try it on again here.)--Launchballer 21:18, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer, I don't think that's a good example of censorship. In the case of Marco Pierre White Jr I think there is a strong argument to be made based on WP:BLP policy that the hook was not appropriate for the main page. BLP policy is a whole other ball of wax.4meter4 (talk) 21:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Two examples of nominations that were failed at least partly due to the topic itself rather than just the hook(s) are Template:Did you know nominations/Watermelon song and Template:Did you know nominations/Tawhai Hill, Kānuka Hills, Pūkio Stream. I think there have been others as well including at least one Israel-Palestine hook, though I can't remember if the latter was rejected due to the subject itself or if it was due to its neutrality tag.

@Starship.paint: @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for expressing your concerns and asking for a different hook/angle. As a middle ground perhaps I think we can agree on ALT2: "that Palestinian convert to Judaism David Ben Avraham (pictured) was only granted Israeli residency after he was killed by an Israeli reservist?" Makeandtoss (talk) 13:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I would be strongly opposed to any hook that even touches the "Palestinian getting killed by an Israeli" angle, and I suspect that any attempts to push such an angle would at the latest result in being yanked from a prep/queue, or a trip to either WT:DYK or WP:ERRORS. For the record, had the incident been about an Israeli being killed by a Palestinian I would have said the same thing. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:21, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Again, WP should not display double standards; if it is okay to feature a hook saying a Ukrainian was killed by Russia, then it should be perfectly fine for a hook to say a Palestinian has been killed by Israel. This pro-western bias is not appropriate and goes against Wikipedia's policies. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:24, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- It can also be a case of correcting a mistake. In my opinion, that Ukrainian hook should not have run in the first place, at least not with that hook.
- I also have to note that it's not unheard of for IP-related articles nominated for DYK to be rejected entirely. See Template:Did you know nominations/Calls for the destruction of Israel, which was rejected based on the presence of a neutrality tag, although the subject matter probably didn't help. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see a problem with running a hook on calls for Israel's destruction if the article was normally written without any neutrality tags, heck I would have even reviewed and approved it myself. Why would I let my personal opinions or preferences obstruct Wikipedia processes? It's not a mistake to report on facts; how people feel/interpret/respond to these facts is up to them. I think this is really self-evident that that the Ukraine hook was not a mistake, and neither will this be. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

- Maybe we can try to rewrite the hook to help with the DYK nomination? Some articles say “mistakenly killed”:
https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-792999 https://www.jns.org/palestinian-convert-to-judaism-mistakenly-killed-by-idf-in-judea/ https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/03/21/palestinian-who-converted-to-judaism-mistakenly-killed-by-idf/ Wafflefrites (talk) 15:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Both mistakenly or deliberately is POV and not appropriate as a hook. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment How about a hook that de-emphasizes the broader conflict and avoids Palestine V.S. Israel language:
Alt2 ... that after his death David Ben Avraham was granted Israeli residency as a form of justice by Israeli Minister of Interior Moshe Arbel?
This avoids saying how he died, who was responsible for killing him, whether it was a murder or accident, etc. Given his Hebrew sounding name, it's also not clear he's a Palestinian in the hook. It also leaves the reader wondering how Israeli residency could be considered a form of justice (which is a direct quote from Arbel). All of this to say, it's accurate, neutral, and non-inflammatory. It shouldn't raise anyone's hackles and is still interesting.4meter4 (talk) 16:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- The article is about his killing, its circumstances and the context; it’s not a biography; so no, de-emphasizing the killing into some heroic recognition by the state that had killed him is quite honestly extremely inappropriate.Makeandtoss (talk) 19:30, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ok. Since you aren't willing to tone things down Makeandtoss, it's not happening. DYK is not a summary of an article, and this hook statement is true. It's clear you have an editorial WP:POVPUSH and DYK isn't going to be your WP:SOAPBOX as a matter of principal. You can either accept a non-inflammatory hook to drive traffic and readers to the article you have written or not be featured at DYK Rejecting per Per rule C11 of the suplementary guideline, as the nominator is not willing to craft a hook that isn't sensational and insists on emphasizing violence and Palestinian/Israeli animus. 4meter4 (talk) 19:33, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Update After discussions on the WP DYK talk page, there seems to be more support for ALT3: "...that David Ben Avraham was posthumously granted an Israeli residency after having been killed?", which comes as a compromise solution between opposing views. Also, 4meter4 has expressed his openness for a new reviewer taking over the process. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Narutolovehinata5: can you explain under which policy you're saying "I would be strongly opposed to any hook that even touches the "Palestinian getting killed by an Israeli" angle". I can understand being opposed to something on grounds of it being not verified, or it violating NPOV. But we don't simply WP:CENSOR certain viewpoints (when presented in a verifiable and neutral way). VR (Please ping on reply) 11:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- There have been concerns in the past about topics that are pushing a particular point of view, or giving that impression, getting backlash. I remember of cases in the past where an article was nominated for DYK but was not allowed to run due to it being seen in bad taste. This happened not too long ago with Russia, which was nominated for DYK. It was ultimately not approved due to having a pending GAR, which ultimately failed anyway and it remained a GA, but even before then there was opposition running Russia on the main page at all due to the war. Having said that, while I am still uncomfortable with the article running, I appear to be in the minority here and will ultimately follow whatever consensus is reached. Having said that, if this is to run and isn't brought to WT:DYK or ERRORS beforehand, I would oppose any suggestion other than ALT3. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:04, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Crossed off the other alts above for clarity, and restating ALT3 here:: "...that David Ben Avraham was posthumously granted an Israeli residency after having been killed?" CMD (talk) 01:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- NPOV says "representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." I have not seen a single news article on this event that doesn't start off by mentioning that Ben Avraham was killed by an IDF soldier. Without that context, the hook doesn't even make sense; is Israel's new immigration policy handing out permanent residencies to random victims of homicide? None of the opposition to these hooks seems to be based on policy, but a desire from the regular editors here to just avoid anything they see as controversial. WT:DYK and ERRORS in relation to any vaguely political topic devolves to the same 10 editors arguing about the same thing until the hook eventually never runs because it's "controversial".

- I'd suggest ALT4:... that Palestinian Jewish convert David Ben Avraham (pictured) was posthumously granted Israeli residency after being killed by an Israeli soldier?
- It mentions the facts that make the story notable in the first place and is similar to ALT1 and ALT2, but with less editorializing. I would be fine with promoting it if the others are okay with the hook. AryKun (talk) 12:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- ALT4a: ... that David Ben Avraham (pictured) was granted Israeli residency after being killed by one of its soldiers? This would avoid having "Israeli" twice, and "posthumously" is extraneous.--Launchballer 22:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

- -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:13, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

- Agree with Evrik. There are tons of sources, just not scholarly/academic ones (obviously, I don't want to use blogs and travel accounts). But an official government-issued work (i.e. Reference #3) should be more than acceptable. Furthermore note that this is not a marketing brochure or some other promotional material. So, if they say that the route "presents the canoeist with severe travel obstacles and minimal campsites" and "one is rewarded with unusual and spectacular scenery...", then that is rather factual and authoritative. It should not cause such trepidation... -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: The more I think about it, your hesitation to use ALT1 (or original hook for that matter) is unwarranted. The source is not a trivial travel blog or promo piece, but an authoritative government document, which clearly is a WP:RS. Therefore ALT1 should be more than acceptable. If you still don't think so, we should seek a 4th opinion. FWIW, DYK regularly has POV quotes in the hook. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

- My first thought reading the hook was "my sphincter, the games were released in 1996!". The hook should make it clear that the games were in fact released then - simply adding "the 1996 games" will take the hook above WP:DYK200, so something else will have to give.--Launchballer 07:15, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think the mention of the year of release is so important that it needs to be added, the hook is centered on the kimono and I'm already specifying that it's the game's 25th anniversary. The hook is long enough as it is. - OtharLuin (talk) 07:24, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, which means as written the hook implies they were released in 1997! That said, I am a huge Pokémaniac (even to the point I spent much of the pandemic writing Pokémon-themed fanfiction, which at some point I should rewrite from scratch) and perhaps I'm being too overprotective. An actual reviewer can adjudicate on this.--Launchballer 07:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

- Was this a limited-time promotion or now ongoing/continual? "Since the January 2022 sumo tournament, gyoji can be seen" makes it sound like the latter, while the sources give the impression that they were only talking about the one tournament.

What a Devastating Turn of Events

- Source: From NME: "But it was a later trip to LA in early 2023 where Chinouriri’s anxieties began to amplify. Emerging musicians often take trips to LA for writing sessions; some fly out four or so times a year, but visit for no more than a fortnight. Chinouriri, who has a fear of flying, elected to stay for five."
ALT1: ... that with her debut album What a Devastating Turn of Events, Rachel Chinouriri aimed to tackle the underrepresentation of Black female artists in the indie scene?Source: From NME: "Chinouriri wants to recreate the visual and sonic aesthetics of that era on her debut. The noughties represents a period of her life where she was eagerly learning about British pop culture icons such as Alexa Chung, Oasis, The Libertines. Taking inspiration from this era is Chinouriri’s way to reclaim her position in British society and the indie scene, where Black womanhood is routinely ignored and misrepresented."- ALT2: ... that Rachel Chinouriri decided to include the English flag on the cover art of What a Devastating Turn of Events in order to celebrate her Black British identity? Source: From The Guardian: "Chinouriri, however, decided to use the St George’s Cross as an act of reclamation. 'For Black people and POC, that flag’s not something people are proud of,' she says, adding that some people around her discouraged her from using it on her album cover. But on her single 'The Hills', Chinouriri sings about rediscovering her British identity after feeling lonely during a period spent in Los Angeles. 'No matter the trauma I’ve had from being raised in the UK, being Black British and being the only Black person in my neighbourhood, it’s made me the person who I am,' she says. 'There is a culture within being Black British that is distinct and strong, and harbours creativity.' Using the flag is 'a celebration – taking back this thing and saying: you can’t get rid of me'."

Overall: I prefer ALT1 to ALT. The hook length is acceptable for both. ALT has a couple of issues: the title of the article does not appear, but more importantly, the idea of the office's powers is not clearly conveyed: it currently says "for over 200 years until 1968 with the power to prevent ANY new play from being performed". However, those powers were somewhat restricted after 1843, so to say ANY new play could be restricted after 1843 is perhaps misleading. This hook could be rephrased slightly, but at this point, for both reasons, I recommend ALT1 instead. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 23:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

@Voorts and Bruxton: I was trying to put the hook in my own words and overdid the paraphrasing. When Semonin says the skeleton was complete I think he meant almost complete so I have reworded the article and the hook. Peale's museum as "the first natural history museum in the United States" is arguable, but would need more work. This argued it was not.

TSventon (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. It is difficult to find the hook because it is not explicit in the article. I did find the two parts to the hook in The Peale Mastodon section so ALT1 works. Bruxton (talk) 14:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- The hook is explicit but unreferenced in the lead, I could add a reference to the Smithsonian article there if that made things clearer. In the body one of the sentences was not immediately followed by a reference, so I fixed that.
- By the way, on the first museum, I have seen things like the first successful public museum of natural history, but that would need to be discussed in the article and is not particularly hooky. TSventon (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Overall: Thanks for creating this. I've read some interesting first person accounts that mention the women Russian exiles. Please tag me once the missing citation is added. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:33, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Mary Mark Ockerbloom: I'm confused as to why this claim needs a citation? She collaborated on Lavrov's Vpered, was involved in a Narodnik organisation, was tried in two mass trials of Narodnik revolutionaries and actively organised with other Narodniks for decades. Is it not exceedingly obvious that this was the movement she was involved in? --Grnrchst (talk) 08:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Grnrchst: Yes, but all of that relies on the reader having knowledge of what that movement was and who it involved. For a Wikipedia reader who follows the hook to a topic that they aren't knowledgeable about, none of that is obvious. So I would suggest adding a sentence or phrase later in the body that in which you explicitly use the term Narodnik, with a citation to something that clarifies or at least uses that term.

Overall: Not ready yet, nominator needs a QPQ. Also, how is the Aquinian reliable? 🌙Eclipse (talk) (contribs) 22:52, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- The Aquinian is the St. Thomas University (STU)'s student newspaper. Per WP:RSSM as well as general consensus through discussions cited by WP:RSSM, using student media sparingly is generally fine; sometimes it is the only option for certain details/facts, such as in this instance for a general assumption of the subject's age, his connection to the University, and a small detail in the creation process of his book.
- I apologize if you find that The Aquinian seems disputed, but because WP:N and WP:GNG has already been established it should be alright using student media for small bits of the article, as this is an instance where better sources couldn't be found. (this only applies to articles whose subject is connected to the University of said student press, of course, in which this case Poitras is). If it helps, STU has a more "official" magazine where Poitras has a small mention here as a journalism professor, and is mentioned here in a third-party provincial newspaper interview with a STU journalism student.
- I hope this addresses any concerns! QPQ will be finished soon. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 23:54, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

- Approved: A very nice article, expanded within the window. Both hooks are good and check out. QPQ not required. I like ALT1 better: would suggest amending ALT0 to something like "the manuscript ready for the printer to collect..." in both hook and article, as the "at Newman's door" is a little confusing and not really idiomatic for someone coming to visit him - you could even cut it in the hook, as the interesting thing is the 22-hour day, not where he handed the manuscript over. Would also suggest reworking, in the article,
Newman had been accused of secretly working to convert people to Catholicism while outwardly professing to be Anglican, and this belief persisted even after his conversion to Catholicism in 1845
, as he would hardly be accused of outwardly professing Anglicanism after he had publicly converted to Catholicism. Still, none of these points should be an obstacle at this stage. Good work. UndercoverClassicist T·C 05:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- @UndercoverClassicist: Thank you for your review and the kind words, and sorry for disappearing for a couple of days! Those two sentences that you pointed out were definitely the ones I had the most difficulty phrasing (my original draft of that second sentence you mentioned implied that he was still Anglican when he wrote the Apologia!). I've rephrased the sentences in the article, hopefully for the better. As for the hooks, I have no preference, so if you prefer alt1, I'm fine just going with that rather than trying to improve alt0. (Also, looking at the source again, it's not clear if it should be "manuscript" or "proof" - I just had "pamphlet" in the article. Probably better just to avoid that altogether in the hook.)

(Los Angeles Times) "But when the massive Eaton enters the game, UCLA will shift to a low-post offense and the Bruin fast break will slow to a snail's pace.

Laura Veale
- ... that Laura Veale was the first Yorkshire-born woman to be qualified as a doctor?
- Source: Several, including: Harrogate Advertiser: "Hampsthwaite commemorates North Yorkshire’s first female doctor Laura Sobey Veale". Note: This fact has had to be carefully interpreted. It was initially expressed as "the first Yorkshire woman to become a doctor" on the brown plaque, pictured in the article and written by the eminent Harrogate historian Malcolm Neesam. He meant "Yorkshire-born". However it has since been interpreted to mean that she was the first female doctor to practise in Yorkshire, which would be incorrect. Edith Pechey was the first qualified woman doctor to practise in Yorkshire, but she was born in Essex, so to local understanding she was definitely not a "Yorkshire woman" (they are very parochially-minded here). Veale was born in Yorkshire.

- The article was moved to mainspace yesterday, so is new enough. It is far more than long enough and properly uses in-line citations (perhaps even more so than necessary for some sentences). The copyvio detector doesn't find anything other than names of things and quotes that are properly used in the article. The hook is short enough, interesting, and is cited inline. The QPQ has been done and there's no image to review. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 20:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review, Silver seren Re the "even more so than necessary", you'll find that some experienced editors are doing that for a good reason. For example, if you have a "first" in the article, that is going to be automatically questioned and double-checked, and rightly so. Therefore, it is worth finding as many different, independent sources as possible for that "first" and including them all in the article. There is also the fact that some sources may be accessible to some readers (e.g. readers with a subscription, readers in the UK, etc.) and some source may not be accessible to all (e.g. readers outside the UK or without subscription), so it's worth giving them a few alternative sources. A third reason is that various sources give different aspects to the same fact, and some sources also include extra facts which the editor chooses not to include in the article, but which are extremely interesting. In the cast of historical articles, contemporary sources may give the historical standpoint on the matter. Extra sources containing additional facts may also allow other editors to expand the article. Nothing is wasted in this particular article, and there is a reason for everything.

- Looks to be easily verifiable, but "relatively complete" should be mentioned somewhere in the wiki article.

(As a footnote, Wizardry VI debuted in the west in 1990 but the Japanese release came out in 1995, if there is pre-existing MOS guidelines that state that it should be 1990 instead then I would advise it to be edited but the 1995 release is what Kui is referring to as her inspiration)

Anyway, there's just one issue that I have – there's a Distractify source used in the article, which is considered unreliable; I feel like there could be a more reliable source out there that verifies the fact that he "repeatedly tells his partner that he is willing to marry if she signs a prenuptial agreement, to keep his assets if they separate".

Very interesting hook! I took a look at the source and I noticed that it had mentioned "Moriori, Maori, or Pakeha" (meaning the missionaries failed to convert Indigenous or European New Zealanders) and I'm wondering if this, or the fact that this took place in New Zealand, would be worth mentioning in the hook as well.

Overall: Everything checks out, an interesting choice of word (from the cited pub;and I have no issue with it), but they've also used the term lavish in there. But can toning it down a bit for the gullibility of a wider audience be considered? Like, rewriting it using one of the more known synonyms instead, such as "luxurious"? Let me know your opinion.

Overall: Earwigs show 53.4% possible, but it's a case of false positive as the matched texts are part of a quoted paragraph, so we're good. And it's a bad source to be added here in this nom (paid, and also doesn't fully align with the hook as is, as pointed above by another user). However, sources used in the article are better, while another one doesn't explicitly mention the hook, but 2 does. Another point to be noted here is the number of lines of the code. It varies by publication. Although from the picture provided, yes there are 17 total markdowns, but some of them are empty, so it comes down to 11 "actual" lines. But some sources I checked, even outside this article, do not mention the specific number of lines, and the ones that do, 2 of which are also sourced in the article, have different numbers (17). Also, the article had some copy editing issues, which I've fixed. By the way, you may consider improving the sourcing style on this one (as it's also a GA nominee). Such as interlinking the publications, or consider introducing journal or book citations as well. But for my money, DYK seems good to go, however, the current blurb needs to be modified to something like ALT0a ... that in 2016, the removal of a few lines of code briefly "broke the Internet"? X (talk) 04:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Xoak Thank you for the review! This is my first ever submission to DYK so I appreciate the thorough comments. I will go ahead and edit the blurb as suggested. Best, ~Liancetalk 16:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Liance:, That's great! By the way a few friendly notes for future noms, when an ALT blurb is proposed, you can simply just reply with your support for that blurb or oppose or express your opinion on it. No need to alter your ALT0 (which is the original hook), and notice how I added "a" beside ALT0, since it's pretty much the same fact with minor tweaks. But if the fact differs totally, then it'd be listed as ALT1, ALT2 and so forth. And if you remove anything from the original hook after the review is done, you should mention it for historical/future references (i.e., the removal of the image). Anyway, thank you for your creation and inviting you to contribute to more DYKs. Regards.

Overall: Hi JayceFey! Just a small recommendation: While I am aware that Track listing and Personnel sections are generally citation-free, the final sentence of the Background section that mentions the absence of three tracks in the previous albums lacks a citation.

Overall: Both article need end-of-sentence cites for the fact of him discovering the city. The source confirms the claim ("He discovered the Shang deposits at Daxinzhuang"). The source is a doctoral dissertation, but it seems to have a decent number of citations according to Scholar, so I think it's fine to use. Earwig's clear for both articles and no other issues I can see, so gtg once the end-of-sentence cites are added. AryKun (talk) 13:28, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Overall: Recent GA, and likewise reads great, no copy vio. All the hooks are nicely sourced. I have a strong preference of ALT3 followed by ALT0. AlT2 rather feels a bit dull, and ALT1 reads a bit too detailed/complicated comparing with the other two. Awaiting QPQ. X (talk) 06:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Friendly Father

- Source: Mao, Frances (3 May 2024). "TikTok loves North Korea's latest propaganda bop. Why?". BBC. Retrieved 11 May 2024.
When North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un released his latest song two weeks ago, surely he couldn't have foreseen it becoming a hit on TikTok. But the propaganda tune has gone viral online with Gen Z users bopping around to the synthy-electro pop. ... But there is a certain Soviet-era tinge to it; Gen Z users describe it as 'Abba-coded', a reference to the Swedish superband.

Overall: Nifty, precise article. Nicely written, well sourced and verifiable. The only copied parts are quotes, which are cited so no issues there. The article had some minor copy editing issues, and I've done them myself (also removed half a sentence for which I was unable to find any supporting reference). It's now good to go. Small note: It'd be better if you wiki-linked the publications of the citations. I've also adjusted the hook (Tik Tok - TikTok).
