Lion Versus

[edit]
  • ... that Russian youth movement Lion Versus fights public smoking by spraying smokers' hands with water to douse their cigarettes? Source: Moscow Times [1]

Created by Levivich (talk). Self-nominated at 20:23, 31 December 2018 (UTC).

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: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: All points check out, ready to go. My only quibble is that the image is non-free and may not qualify to be used on the main page. Moonraker (talk) 22:37, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

@Moonraker: Thank you for taking the time to review! Personally I don't think an organization's logo adds much or makes for a great main page DYK image, so perhaps it's better to remove the image from the template altogether. I'm not sure if I should do that or leave it to a reviewer or promoter to make the call. Levivich (talk) 23:13, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
Levivich, there’s no harm in leaving it there. It’s a good image and would give the hook a lift, but when this nomination comes to be promoted someone will need to make a call on it, and my understanding of the rules is that it won’t fly. I may be wrong. Good little article!
You haven’t reviewed another article yet (“QPQ”). If you are a new contributor and do not need to do that, would you please add a note to say so? Moonraker (talk) 07:40, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Non-free files cannot be used in templates or on the main page per WP:NFCC#9; so, you're going to have to use a freely licensed image instead if you need one for this nomination. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:21, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
  • @Marchjuly: Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "if you need one" (do I need one?), but in any event, I know of no free pictures that could be used to illustrate these articles. I posted a message on the article talk page; I'm hoping someone who has taken some pictures will upload them and release the copyright so they can be added to the article. Until then, I think we may be pictureless.
@Moonraker: Thanks also! Yes, this is my second DYK. I was going to wait until I hit 5 before doing a QPQ, which I understand is what I'm supposed to do? But if that's not the case–if I should do one sooner–please just let me know. Not my intention to slack :-) Although I don't really feel ready to review one yet as I'm still getting the hang of it myself. I assume this post counts as "adding a note," but if I need to say somewhere else that it's my second DYK (like in a template parameter?), please let me know.
