San Isidro Labrador Church (Pulilan)[edit]

  • The article is long enough and new enough. However, the only references are a tourist-type website which seems to be a review of the church and an offline book (agf). The hook itself does not make grammatical sense: it seems to be suggesting that the church is popular with water buffalo, when it means to say that the church is popular because it celebrates a feast day by having buffalo kneel outside. The article needs a better reference for the hook and the hook itself needs re-writing. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 10:26, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
@Gaia Octavia Agrippa: added a citation/ref to the hook. Let me rephrase the hook:
ALT1: ... that water buffalos kneel with its two front legs in front of a church in Pulilan, Bulacan?
Still doesn't read right. How about something along the lines of 'feast day celebrations involve kneeling water buffalo'? Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 11:03, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
What makes it wrong? --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 11:06, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Please don't take offence at this, but is English your first language? a) you have removed the context for the kneeling buffalo, ie the feast day, b) the plural of buffalo is buffalo (like sheep and sheep), c) no need to include the details about them kneeling on their front legs as that is a given as they can't kneel on their back legs Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 11:23, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
I do not think that there is a problem with only an online source and offline book in an article for DYK. --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 10:45, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
I agree, but I'm more worried that the hook is only cited using the touristy type/review website. It doesn't seem very reliable. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 11:01, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
The hook was cited from (1) offical website of the local government unit of Bulacan and (2) news websites such as GMA News and Interaksyon. I added cites when I made the ALT. --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 11:06, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Looks fine now.Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 11:17, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
So, how would we rephrase the hook? ALT1a: ... that the feast day celebration in honor of Saint Isidore the Laborer involves water buffalo kneeling in front of a church in Pulilan, Bulacan?
Good for you? --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 11:29, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Much better. Passes everything now.Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 11:34, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Actually, it would read better if it said 'involves water buffalo kneeling in front' rather than 'kneeling buffalo'. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 11:39, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Perfect. ALT1a is good to go, others have been struck.Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 12:01, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Waiting on QPQ. Strangely no previous DYKs showed up using QPQ check but evidence on talk page suggests otherwise. And thanks to Carlojoseph14 themselves for pointing it out. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 12:17, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
  • This is the proper icon for a missing QPQ. Carlojoseph14 definitely has more than five nominations (when I use the check, it lists twenty-five of them, and his talk page shows eight DYK main-page messages), so he's on the hook for one here and the nomination should not be given a tick, because that would mean it's ready for immediate promotion. That's not the case when a QPQ has not been completed. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:29, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset:, I already reviewed Ovi (poetry). --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 07:51, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
  • I've fixed the QPQ links so they're to the review page rather than the article itself. I'll let Gaia Octavia Agrippa finish here now that the QPQ has been completed. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:30, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks @BlueMoonset:. I had forgotten to change the symbol when I found out about Carlojoseph14's other DYKs. QPQ has been done there it is now ready. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaia Octavia Agrippa (talk • contribs) 16:53, 6 December 2014‎ (UTC)
  • Gaia Octavia Agrippa, just so you know for future reference, the tick is all you're supposed to do when approving a nomination. Only the person doing the actual promotion to a prep area (who is never the reviewer) should close the discussion and modify the "passed" parameter at the top of the template here. I've taken the liberty of replacing your "yes" at the top with a tick just above. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:01, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank again BlueMoonset! Its been a while since I've been involved in DYK. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 17:06, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
