  • The article is sufficiently long, well-sourced, and highly presentable. The only suggestion I would offer before confirming is to change "female actor" to "actress" and remove "Bollywood actress" from the beginning of the phrase, as it constitutes repetition.

    • Actually, it's both things. He didn't think alien life exists, and didn't want (because of his own biases) for it to exist. Yes, perhaps that is faulty logic, but we're talking about ancient Greece. Logic itself was still a recent concept, and some things we know take for granted in discussions (such as a basic scientific method when talking about scientific stuff, or that fallacies make a bad argument) were either new concepts or not created yet. The article makes this clear enough: the way in which the Greeks discussed their ideas, their biases, the slow development of the scientific method, etc. Cambalachero (talk) 17:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The point of a hook is to be short and sweet, and leave just a little mystery, enticing the reader to click through to the article. There's no need to tell people this is a religious subject, that's obvious from the title of the painting. And there's no need to tell them it's unusual, the fact that there's a dog speaks for that itself. RoySmith (talk) 15:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Laura Veale[edit]

(
)
  • 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.

  • 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.

Comment: I added an alternative hook since the American state is mentioned twice so it won't be classified as redundancy. Also, "home town" is combined since it's one word.

@JuanGLP, thank you, I prefer your hook so I have struck mine. Also, the reason for "unlikely" from Earwig is because the 22.5% similarity is coming from a quote in the "Career" section, properly enclosed in quotes and attributed via citation. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 17:40, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To eliminate redundancy of the word "train", perhaps the last three words "to train on" could be removed? --Habst (talk) 17:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Habst, yep there is no problem with Earwig, good thing it's cited with adequate sourcing. Also, good eye for the redundancy part of "train" and have fixed the nominated hook. Just checked it off as approved, and congrats if promoted! — JuanGLP (talk/contribs) 23:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article was moved to mainspace today, so is new enough. At just over 1800 characters, it is long enough. The article properly uses in-line citations and the copyvio detector finds nothing outside of groups and positions. The hook is interesting and cited inline. The QPQ has been done. The only thing I'll note is that there's certainly sources out there to beef up the article more, including recent contempt threats and just older general news articles about him. Anyways, looks good to go. SilverserenC 00:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article is new enough (created from redirect on 10 May 2024‎), long enough, copyvio-free, and policy compliant. The hook is cited by a reliable source and is interesting. The image is in the public domain, used in the article, and is clear at 140x140px. QPQ not required. Only issue is that the lede section is too short. There are a few areas in the article that are yet to be addressed in the lede so fixing that should be only a small fix. — GMH Melbourne (talk) 05:26, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Great work on the article, AskeeaeWiki! I do love the hook, with The Weeknd claiming that he could make his lover scream like a horror genre actress? That's wild! 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". Other than that, I have no other concerns, and happy to approve afterward. Thanks! :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 02:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article was created on the same day as nomination. Article meets adequate quality standards and contains enough prose for DYK, my only suggestions are for "the western end of the building" to be potentially reworded just due to similarity in the source, and for the double space in the 'History' section to be fixed. 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. Picture is relevant to the hook. QPQ done. Great work on the article! Please ping when concerns have been addressed. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, good catch! Fixed this in the article. For the hook, I generally try to condense the hooks as much as I can, but. ALT1": ... that over the course of several decades, the missionaries of New Zealand's German Mission House (pictured) failed to convert a single person?" could work! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 00:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. I just wanted to suggest any sort of inclusion of New Zealand in the hook so that there wouldn't be any confusion with the building having "German" in its name. Good to go now. :) B3251 (talk) 01:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
