5x expanded by George6VI (talk). Self-nominated at 08:37, 23 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Crown Princess Gonghoe; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Almost all DYK conditions are met (article was expanded from 351 words to 1614 recently). QPQ does not appear needed at this seems to be the creator's first DYK nom. Main if still minor issue: one unreferenced sentence marked. Very minor grammar issues including in the ALT0 (I think was should we went?). Text does not need to be copyedited for DYK, but if we keep the ALT0 I think it needs be c/e-ed, but I am not a native English speaker myself so I defer to someone else for final check here. I'd also suggest making an ALT1 with the term necromancy to significantly increse hook clicktroughs, although that sentence needs copyediting in the article proper as it is not clear (see my edit summary there). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:07, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Done - At least I fixed that very "unreferenced" one, please check if what still can be changed. - George6VI (talk) 03:58, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
GTG now. I still think you are missing on many views by not using the necromancy-themed hook, but it's not required to promote this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:04, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
@George6VI and Piotrus: The hook is 203 characters but it must be 200 or less. It could also use a bit of fixing as it is a bit hard to follow and might be using an incorrect preposition. Lightburst (talk) 14:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- Done - Fixed the hook. - George6VI (talk) 01:04, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Errr. It was still grammatically incorrect - I've added the missing word 'went'. I did not count the characters, however. Easiest words to cut would be "of Korea". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Piotrus and George6VI: Thanks for the fixes. 196 characters now. Hook may need a semicolon before "as" but I think the prep gnomes will check it out and if needed it will be added. Lightburst (talk) 17:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Second thought it still reads funny, maybe I can get some last minute help proof reading the hook from Theleekycauldron? Lightburst (talk) 17:39, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Lightburst, Probably the use of "a necromancy"? "A necromancy ritual" might be better? Mind you, I am just thinking through the prism of fantasy novels. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:08, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
