This page holds approved nominations that are waiting to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page. Following DYK approval, nominations are processed and moved into a Prep area, and from there, prep sets are promoted to a queue, and then to the main page.

To create a new nomination or to see those that are yet to be approved, see Template talk:Did you know. For the discussion page see WT:DYK. Click on the link to go directly to the Special occasion holding area.

  If some of the nominations are not showing up properly at the bottom of the page, these alternative pages can be used to view a subset of the most recent nominations.

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

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.

  • Reviewing.
  • Despite what the bot/tool says, you owe 10 QPQs as you seem to already be aware.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:10, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for offering to review – just note that Van Sickle and Brumbaugh are not yet ready – I'll make sure to 5x them within the next three days (nominated now so as to not exhaust 7-day eligibility of Raymond). BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I forgot to say let me know when all the articles are ready for evaluation.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • 5x expanded Caitlin Van Sickle (calculated it needed to be 7,725+ – currently ~8,200). Just Brumbaugh left to do. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Expanding Brumbaugh is taking longer than I thought, but I'm almost certain I can have it done by the end of tomorrow. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Was able to finish Brumbaugh tonight. Needed to be 10,725, now is at ~13,000 bytes. @TonyTheTiger: All the articles are ready for review now. (Still have to do the QPQs, of course). Also, tell me your thoughts of the date request I mentioned? Thanks! BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The DYK tool gives the following results:
  • David Raymond, 3177 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 13, 2024
    • WP:AGF on hook quote claim.
    • Maybe revise 'the man who "practically invented the modern sports mascot"' to 'the "inventor" of the modern sports mascot'
    • 41.9% copyvio result stems from direct quotations that are presented with proper WP:ICs.
  • Jonathan Stoklosa, 1996 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 18, 2024
    • I am a former competitive powerlifter myself. I have deadlifted 600 lbs, but that was a career personal best. I can not now. I think "can lift up to 425 pounds" should be changed to "has lifted 425 pounds" (sources confirmed)
    • 14.5% copyvio result stems from poor paraphrasing. Often times the exact phrasing of the source is used, but not at a too problematic level. Better paraphrasing is encouraged.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cheryl Hamilton, 2574 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 17, 2024
    • Can we tigten up "turned one of the world's best gymnastics judges" to "turned Olympic games judge", which has a more encyclopedic and neutral tone (sources confirmed).
    • 18% copyvio result from quotation and Official terminology and names.
  • Kevin Tresolini, 2647 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 21, 2024
    • Can we shorten 'Delaware's "preeminent sportswriter"' to 'a "preeminent sportswriter"'? (sources confirmed)
    • 9.9% copyvio result all good.
  • Eric Cannon, 2496 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 17, 2024
  • I am the Thomas Wilcher article creator. You have motivated me to dig up some NCAA results. Here are two indoor All-American (top 8) finishes: [4], [5].
  • Here is where to find the outdoor results: https://www.ustfccca.org/meets-results/meet-history?series=3369.
  • Gary Chelosky, 1942 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 19, 2024
    • Source confirmed.
    • 3.8% copyvio result all good.
  • Marcy Levine, 2075 characters created by BeanieFan11 on March 20, 2024
    • NCAA women's gymnastics tournament? Link it. Even only one National or international championship deserves some medals bling in the infobox. Maccabiah Games and maybe AIAW too. (source confirmed)
    • 3.8% copyvio result all good.

    • The phrase "10 hits, four RBIs, two hits and one home run" can not be right.
    • This infobox could host more highlights, MVPs and All-league or All-start honrs.
      • Per the Del. Sports HOF, Brumbaugh was a five-time minor league all-star and four-time all-star in Asia; however, the years aren't mentioned. We know three of the minor league all-star selections (1995, 1999, 2010) – he also was MVP in at least 1995 and 2010. As for the Asian leagues, it seems we know 2003 and 2004, but the other years are less certain. We also know a bunch of honors from HS/college. What do you suggest? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:01, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Source confirmed.
    • 12.3% copyvio result from poor paraphrasing.
      • Are you referring to the Baseball-Reference.com link? Its just two basic sentences that I'm not sure could be reworded differently, and the match is half a machine-generated part at the end, while the other half, I'm not sure how they consider that a match. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      • The date request window is 6 weeks, I believe. So you can only request dates within 6 weeks of the date that you nominate a hook. You can read further about special occaision requests at WP:DYKSO.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • Crap! I was never aware of that! And just two weeks off. Is it possible to IAR, something? One of the main reasons I nominated this was in hope that it could be set for that date... BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          • It says exceptions to the six-week limit can be implemented by way of a local consensus at WT:DYK. I'll open a discussion about it once the reviewing is done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would have expected the phrase "received fewer votes". Not a dealbreaker in anyway, it just catches me off guard and wanted to flag it.

  • I struck ALT2 as it is too long (318 characters). ALT1 is 198, near the limit of 200. By the way, Maxim Masiutin, the source you should link to in a DYK nomination is the cited reference in the article for the hook fact. I can't review since I handled the GA nomination, but I wanted to flag those two things. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 21:38, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 could perhaps be streamlined a bit more to "... plays a crucial role in sleep-wake cycles as the only histamine-metabolizing enzyme in the human central nervous system?" JoelleJay (talk) 06:05, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the new sources, I would definitely advise against citing Scientific Reports or Frontiers for this, especially the former as it is also a primary source. Per MEDRS we should reflect what secondary review sources say on a topic, and I think for statements made in wikivoice in a high-profile venue we need much more reputable sources than Sci Rep and Frontiers. They can still be used in the article, but ought to be accompanied by additional supporting sources. This Physiological Reviews article could serve as a replacement for the claim that it's the only neuronal enzyme degrading histamine, while this Sleep review touches on HNMT's role in aggression and indirectly on sleep. The Handbook cited in ALT4 also works for all of these claims (though a lot of the HNMT info is just the authors reviewing their own work; not necessarily a problem, but something to keep in mind). Note that the first two state it is acting in the extracellular space, which is in contrast to the mechanism put forth in the last. Regarding ALT4, this could easily be read as "HNMT is the only enzyme in the brain that maintains arousal and sleep functions, which it does by degrading histamine", which is incorrect, rather than "HNMT is the only histamine-metabolizing enzyme in the brain, AND its activity helps maintain arousal and sleep functions". JoelleJay (talk) 16:46, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me explain on why I don't agree with your statment that the cited study is a primary study for the claim it backs up. For that particular claim, it is a secondary source. This is not a primary source for the particular claim that "(HNMT) is the only histamine-metabolizing enzyme in the brain, and its activity helps maintain arousal and sleep functions". This source makes synthesis what already was known about HNMT in its introductory staments. It is not the source that figured out that "(HNMT) is the only histamine-metabolizing enzyme in the brain, and its activity helps maintain arousal and sleep functions". It may be a primary sources for the other claims which were the subject of the study of this publication, but not for the quoted claim. Let me give you another example. Consider a study on whether ketotifen increases appetite in mice that claims that ketotifen is an antihistamine. For the claim that ketotifen is an antihistamine medication, that study is is a secondary. For the claim that ketotifen increased appetite on mice, it is a primary sources. Frequently, research research articles such as invitro studies or animal model studies give some synthesis on earlier reasearch for some introductory statements, making them secondary research for that statement. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 02:29, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I changed the sources as you suggested. I removed sources that the plugin marks by yellow background and found a source that the plugin doesn't mark as yellow. It marked MDPI publications yellow, but didn't mark the Springer book yellow.
Maxim Masiutin: Please respond to the above. This is technically the oldest unreviewed nom, so I would otherwise review it, except I know virtually nothing about WP:MEDRS and refs 7, 8, 11, 18, 20, 32, 39, 40, 43, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 60, 61, 63 all come up yellow on WP:UPSD.--Launchballer 15:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Launchballer: I have a plugin that shows them yellow too, I don't know why it shows this way. The sources are fully WP:MEDRS. These requirements are not that complicated, essentially, the source should not be primary, it should be at least secondary, i.e. the source that mentions source rather than the source mentions the information. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 21:24, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All the MDPI links should be axed; it is not considered a reliable publisher. Frontiers journals should also not be cited, although they're somewhat less problematic. JoelleJay (talk) 22:23, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the MPDI links from this template, but if you mean that I should remove all MDPI links from the HNMT article for it to qualify for DYK, otherwise my DYK nomination will fail, I will regret about it, I didn't know that MPDI source prevents an article from be a DYK. I used MPDI articles that are in compliance with WP:MEDRS, they are also indexed in PubMed. I also use MPDI with care, for example, I didn't quote a health claim or something extraordinary from MDPI, only some undisputed pieces of general information, that MDPI quoted from other sources which are very reliable. For example, I used MDPI to support the statement that "HNMT does not have promoter cis-elements, such as TATA and CAAT boxes". The MDPI article has the following statement (quote): "Its gene is poorly characterized and lacks canonical promoter cis-elements such as TATA and CAAT boxes" that it cites from Reyes-Palomares, Armando; Montañez, Raúl; Sánchez-Jiménez, Francisca; Medina, Miguel Ángel (4 August 2011). "A combined model of hepatic polyamine and sulfur amino acid metabolism to analyze S-adenosyl methionine availability". Amino Acids. 42 (2–3): 597–610. doi:10.1007/s00726-011-1035-7. PMID 21814788.. If you noticed a particular MDPI reference that falls of this principle, please let me know. Still, I would be unable to remove all linkst to MDPI for the reasons I mentioned. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:40, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you wish, I can augment references to MDPI with references to the sources that they cite, but keeping only these sources as a replacement for MDPI should not be sufficient due to the rules of WP:MEDRS, formally.Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
MDPI is listed as "questionably reliable" on RSP, and so doesn't meet the high quality requirements of MEDRS. It's unfortunate this was not brought up during the GA. Anything that is "general knowledge" should easily be citable to non-MDPI secondary sources. I'm more concerned with the MDPI journal Int J Mol Sci cited 16 times... JoelleJay (talk) 23:41, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For future reference, how do I tell these at a glance?--Launchballer 05:56, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The citation script will highlight them yellow, and also the journals often have single-word pluralized titles like "Catalysts" or "Biomolecules" so when I come across journals with that theme I check the publisher. JoelleJay (talk) 22:56, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Launchballer: I nominated DYK based on the recent GA review, I didn't add any new source since the GA review, and the GA review should also follow WP:MEDRS - the completion that the article fullfilled and the condition verified by the GA reviewer. This is my understanding of the situation. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 21:26, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Launchballer: I have nominated several articles in the past for GA, some passed, and I have done some GA reviews in the past. As for the DYK, this is my first ever DYK nomination. I don't yet fully understand the DYK process. Therefore, I will did some techincal errors in the DYK, please help me resolve them. Thank you in advance!

Long enough, new enough. ALTs 0-3 cited, short enough, and interesting, however all four should lose "(HNMT)" per WP:DYK200, and I'd expect a more merciless prepbuilder to truncate ALT1 at "system". Article is devoid of maintenance templates and neutrality issues. Is there another way of writing "In mammals, histamine is metabolized by two major pathways"?--Launchballer 07:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I rewritten the sentence that starts with "In mammals, histamine is metabolized by two major pathways" the following way: "In mammals, there are two main ways to inactivate histamine by metabolism: one is through a process called oxidative deamination, which involves the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) produced by the AOC1 gene, and the other is through a process called Nτ-methylation, which involves the enzyme N-methyltransferase. In the context of biochemistry, inactivation by metabolism refers to the process where a substance, such as a hormone, is converted into a form that is no longer active or effective (inactivation), via a process where the substance is chemically altered (metabolism)." Did I understand correctly your concern about this sentence and addressed your concern adequately? Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:24, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You also mentioned lengths. Can you please help me and modify the sentences to fit the length where it violated the length limitations? Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please give me one day to address current issue raised. I wanted to resolve them yesterday, but didn't manage to do that, sorry for the delayed answer, just give me one day please. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 07:16, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, take your time. Make sure you remedy both mine and JoelleJay's concerns.--Launchballer 07:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hope I addressed all the issues mentioned except removal of links to journals published by the MDPI publisher. I gave reasons. If you still think that links to all MDPI journals should be removed, could you please request a second opinion from a editor with Wikipedia medical sources experience? However, the other editors of Wikipedia medical articles thought that I am competent enough in sourcing, and they appreciated it via barnstars, see my user page for those barnstars. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Still, I am new to DYK and your help in any form will be appreciated by me, and it will definitely be helpful for potential readers; for example, if you could suggest a better ALT or let me know how can I further improve the article. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you will agree on my proposal to ask opinions on capable editors on sourcing, I can suggest several candidates. Just let me know how to proceed. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Article length is fine and hook length is fine, they just can't have "(HNMT)" or any contents in brackets in them, and my copyright concerns are resolved. (If I was feeling particularly Bolshie, I might reword the hooks so that the article would be linked via "the only enzyme in the human body responsible for metabolizing histamine" or similar, therefore taking the title out of the hook, but that is absolutely not essential.) I could be wrong on this, so pinging JoelleJay to double check, but if my understanding is correct, then articles in predatory journals are self-published, and should not be used for almost all claims.--Launchballer 06:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are no articles in predatory journals cited in HNMT. If you could point a particular cite, please let me know ASAP. By predatory journals I mean journals listed at least one of the following: (1) Template:Predatory open access source list; (2) Wikipedia:Potentially unreliable sources. The script User:Headbomb/unreliable.js uses yellow background for the sources that this script considers "borderline", i.e. as defined by [6] is "situated at or near a border", but in a good set, i.e. is compliant to WP:MEDRS. Still, if there are a few source that raise your concern, I can address them one-by-one, but I don't think that finding alternative sources for all MDPI articles is appropriate just because the script considers them "borderline". The Wikipedia article MDPI mentions: MDPI was included on Jeffrey Beall's list of predatory open access publishing companies in 2014[25][26] but was removed in 2015 following a successful appeal[23][25] while applying pressure on Beall's employer.[27] Some journals published by MDPI have also been noted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Norwegian Scientific Index for lack of rigor and possible predatory practices.[28][29][30] This Wikipedia article has a detailed discussion on what MDPI is, but it is in no way currently predatory.Maxim Masiutin (talk) 20:35, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's nothing intrinsically wrong about articles published in MDPI: each case needs to be judged on their merit. Other journals are more dangerous. MDPI journals may publish research which is less novel and ground-breaking, or in other words more suitable as source for introductory text on a topic. In the specific case, I see that Nutrients articles are cited in support of a rather mild statement that «It is presumed by some scholars [...] the most affected organs are [...]», so it's not a case of extraordinary sources being needed. If we look at the first authors, we see for example an associate professor at the University of Padua. There's no reason to outright discard such a source. The sentence in the DYK snippet should not be attributed to doi:10.1007/164_2016_13 («Brain histamine plays a role in diverse physiological functions such as anxiety, sleep-wake cycles, appetite, and learning and memory (Haas et al. 2008)»), but to the source they attribute this statement to, i.e. doi:10.1152/physrev.00043.2007 (also archived). Note that some of the sources for very similar statements, like doi:10.3390/ijms2003073, are actually referring to the brain of mice, so when replacing sources better check that the new source actually supports the statement, or we end up doing original synthesis which is a far worse problem that the hypothetical issues with one publisher. Nemo 17:24, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • In response to your feedback, I've revised the article. I've included superior sources to substantiate the claim that the brain, liver, and bronchial mucous membrane are the most impacted organs due to defective HNMT activity. I've also made more obvious that the references to the MDPI Nutrients journal were not used to back up particular conclusion on health, but to illustrate the views of certain scholars. These scholars, as cited in Nutrients, propose that adverse reactions to dietary histamine could be classified as a distinct medical condition, termed "histamine intolerance". While mainstream medicine does not recognize this as a separate condition, there is consensus among all scholars and practitioners that such reactions can result in symptoms like itching and flushing. The citation of Nutrients was intended to highlight this ongoing academic discussion. The term "histamine intolerance" is used in mainstream media, so I thought it is important to explain what is it.

  • I'll take this. Nice work!
  • 5x expansion confirmed, and new enough. Adequately referenced (I presume Synopsis / Summary sections are excused from the usual DYK citation-per-paragraph rule). The main potential content problem is neutrality... for example, in Legacy, it states "Since its original release, the documentary film has been showcased in film schools worldwide," but the source is an interview with the executive producer of The Cutting Edge. Not throwing shade here, but this needs to be attributed and taken with a gallon of salt if included - interviews with creators about how important and popular their work was are routinely exaggerated, sometimes by a lot. I don't think "showcased in film schools worldwide" can be stated as a fact in the lead section, for example. I think some closer reading of the sources might help - for example, you've written "Gerald Perry of Boston Pheonix thought that Cold Mountain a mediocre film." First, it's Phoenix (I make typos too, no worries), but more importantly, that wasn't Perry's complaint reading the source - he's complaining Murch was "windy" (i.e. long-winded, i.e. too many words to say too little). The actual problem wasn't necessarily that Cold Mountain was meh, that was just an aggravating factor.
  • For the hooks... hmm, this might be a tastes thing. There's a trend by some DYK hook reviewers to favor real-world facts, but none of these seem particularly interesting to me? Lots of stuff was in high-def by 2004, any vanity producer can send transcripts to a museum, how many discs were in the Special Edition of Bullit is irrelevant and it being a DVD value addin isn't that interesting, Warner Bros. probably just wanted some free advertising by licensing out their clips, etc. Of these, I think I prefer the simple ALT3 the most, although I couldn't find direct verification on the director count - but 17 sounds fine and it's probably just in a different source. Does that work for you? Happy to take a look at another ALT if something "punchier" can be found. (And please do a pass on neutrality per above; I think we're close.) SnowFire (talk) 04:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SnowFire: I fixed the neutrality issues that you pointed out in the article. I was able to find an Indian film editor who was inspired by the documentary as well as some lists. I rewrote that problematic section in the LEAD to "In later years, the documentary influenced younger international film editors and was seen as an essential documentary about filmmaking." As for ALT3, I can re-write it to this:
ALT5: ... that the 2004 documentary The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing contains interviews from dozens of film editors, including women underrepresented in the field?Source: https://archive.org/details/sim_boston-phoenix_december-10-16-2004_33_50/
I wanted to rewrtie this section because the added source mentioned the presence these editors. I also wanted to highlight female editors since, per the documentary, they were underrepresented. I also wanted to bring it up since the most recent Oscar-winning editor was a woman named Jennifer Lame. I even changed the source to a review from Boston Pheonix since it mentions female representation. With that in mind, I don't think a specific number is too important here. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 14:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yoshiman6464: Checking in again, sorry about the delay. I wrote the above without knowing you'd already nominated it for GAN and requested a copy-edit, and figured the article might not be stable. I guess the copy-edit has finished up by now.
I will say that I still don't think this is GA level, as a heads-up. Luckily this is DYKN, not GAN, and I think it's passable enough for that. My remaining neutrality complaint is the new line in the lede: "In later years, the documentary influenced younger international film editors and was seen as an essential documentary about filmmaking." I think you're taking "must-watch" a little too seriously in these lists... every film influences people, and being on some lists of praised films isn't actually that unusual either. Calling something an essential documentary is a very strong claim in Wiki-voice, and I don't believe it's met here. That said, it's one line, and happy to fix that myself without disqualifying myself as a reviewer if you don't want to. But I'll let you try adjusting it yourself first if you want.
I renamed your hook suggestion ALT5. And sure, looks good to me. ALT3 is also approved. (The main potential complaint about ALT5 might be that "underrepresented" is a bit of a value judgment that there is a "correct" amount of female representation, but I think the idea is clear enough.)

  • Not a review, and I do my QPQs first so would not get to this any time soon (but would not object to anybody else jumping in in the interim); refs 5, 8, 19, and 26 have errors, and I'd want to see a very good reason why WP:IMDB is being used on a BLP. I also recommend explicitly citing their pronouns with a source that specifically says "uses they/them pronouns" or somesuch, like I've done at Charlie Deakin Davies. (A good article would state exactly when they began using them if available, but that's probably going beyond the DYK criteria.)--Launchballer 08:52, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I corrected the 4 refs, replaced IMDb with The New Republic, and created a note about pronouns. The note links to two Internet Archive captures, which is the best source I know about. It was helpful to see your note example. Thanks for your help and please let me know of any other changes that would improve the article. ProfGray (talk) 13:41, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Any excuse to plug one of my favourite musicians.) I should have said WP:JEZEBEL shouldn't have been in there either, but as everything was already in Cosmopolitan I took it out myself. WP:EL says external links "normally should not be placed in the body of an article", but as this is a note and the alternatives would be either violating WP:REFPUNCT or WP:SEAOFBLUE I'm IARing it. I also propose the following ALT, which I may come back to, as a rewording of ALT0:
ALT0.5: ... that the pro-choice Satanist Jex Blackmore did performance art with 100 pounds (45 kg) of rotten fruit (pictured) before their second abortion?

  • Article is new enough and long enough. It is well-sourced, presentable, neutral, and BLP-compliant. Earwig is only picking up quotes. The hooks are cited and interesting. I suggest expanding the lead a bit as it is rather short, at one sentence. Images used in the articles are freely licensed, though the VRTS email is awaiting processing. The image renders well at a small size and works well with ALT0 and ALT0.5. If the caption is used as is, I would italicize the name of the performance artwork. ALT1 mentions that the pill is 'mail order' which is not explicit in the article. Also the mail order link is to a disambiguation page, so I'm striking it until those issues are fixed. QPQ is not required. gobonobo + c 14:34, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks you for your comments here, plus your edits. I agree it'd be good to expand the lead. And italicizing the artwork title. Would you be fine with deleting the phrase "mail order" from ALT1? Or maybe: "by taking a pill, available by mail, to start their third abortion on live television?" For a suitable link, this article discusses mail order access to the abortion pill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mifepristone#In_the_United_States Thanks again, ProfGray (talk) 18:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ProfGray: I'd suggest leaving the mail order and the "in Detroit" parts out as I don't think they add much.

    • Great work on this article on a very accomplished soprano! 4meter4 (talk · contribs), I copyedited the article. I noticed that the article uses two date formats. For example, the "Early life and opera" section has "3 June 1865". The "Marriage and career as a concert soprano in Europe" section has "October 6, 1891" and "18 April 1895". The "Later life and career in the United States" section has "November 13, 1913", "November 13, 1924", "November 27, 1925", and "26 February 1940". All the dates in the "References" section follow the "February 27, 1940" format. I recommend using the same date format through the article per MOS:DATEUNIFY. The inconsistent date formatting is a minor issue that does not affect the DYK criteria, so I am approving the DYK. Cunard (talk) 08:18, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I'm curious if the "1628 ± 1 BCE" precision is conducive to readability in a hook. While I don't personally have a problem with it, my guess it this kind of thing is discouraged for the purposes of hook readability. Alternatives to consider might be "approximately 1628", "ca. 1628", "1628/7", "1628/1627", or "17th century BCE". Not a big deal, but it is something that stuck out. I should note that the fulfillment of the "hook cited" criterion here is somewhat unorthodox. Most hooks that I review are cited directly in the article, in one or two sentences. This hook as a whole, however, appears cited in discrete parts, in multiple sections, with the first part of the hook cited in the "Aniakchak II eruption" section ("the 1628 ± 1 BCE eruption of Mount Aniakchak"), followed by the second part cited in the "Impacts on humans and the environment" section ("might have depopulated part of the area around Aniakchak"), with the "might have" wording differing slightly from the certainty of the hook itself, which instead asserts that the depopulation occurred without the hedge. This is in turn followed by the last part of the hook which is cited in the "Intracaldera lake" section ("produced one of the largest floods of the last 10,000 years"). I will be the first to admit that I've never seen a hook composed this way before. The "might have depopulated" assertion may require a hook adjustment. To summarize: waiting for a response from the nominator, mostly due to concerns about date presentation and the certainty of the depopulation in the hook vs. the hedging of the source material. I'm also curious what another reviewer will think when they try to find the hook cited in the article. Viriditas (talk) 20:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The thing about the Aniakchak eruption is that it is one of a few prehistoric eruptions were we know the year with some certainty. 1628/1627 might be a better formulation, though. I don't think that a hook being supported by distinct parts of the article is a problem; I was more worrying about the length. Right on the depopulation bit. I'll propose two ALTs. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the hooks now with fresh eyes, which do you prefer, the original "1628 ± 1 BCE" date or the new one? Also, it is okay to strike out ALT0? And do you prefer ALT1 or ALT2 or do you have no preference? Viriditas (talk) 20:52, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Either ALT1 or ALT2 work; I prefer ALT1 as it is fairly definitive, but it's something other people ought to decide on. Also corrected the article. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shilshole people

1) Dr. Coll Thrush's 2007 book Native Seattle: Histories from the Crossing-Over Place (2nd ed.):
"...some Shilshole people remained here until the construction of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in the early twentieth century, while others became part of the community of Ballard or moved to area reservations. Relatively little is known about this settlement, as construction of the locks destroyed most of it in the 1910s" (p. 223).
2) Julie Pheasant-Albright's 2007 book Early Ballard:
"The last 20 or so Shilsholes living in Ballard were relocated to reservations when the locks were built in 1914 ... Shilshole Charlie was taken away to a reservation and his cabin burned" (pp. 11-12)

  • @PersusjCP: Before I continue with the rest of the review, I think there may be an issue. The last paragraph of the History section appears to be a failed verification. If you wouldn't mind highlighting the specific passage and page number from that article that references that paragraph, I would greatly appreciate it! A fascinating article, to be sure! ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • The quoted section in the article:

      "Despite living on a saltwater estuary, they were one of the x̌ačuʔabš, the Lake Peoples, a traditional ethnic identity of the Lushootseed-speaking world, whose villages were primarily located around the freshwater lakes Washington and Union. This is due to their connection to the other Lake Peoples and their reliance on the resources of Lake Washington and Lake Union." (Buerge (1930) p. 30)

The exact quotations I was pulling this from are in the second, third, and fourth columns of page 30.

Column two: "he also used [lake people] as a general term that also [in addition to the people of Lake Washington] included groups living on Salmon Bay and Lake Union as well as those on the Sammamish River and Lake Sammamish. How could the term "lake people" logically be applied to groups living on a saltwater estuary like Salmon Bay?"


Buerge answers this in the third and fourth columns: "It appeared, then, that the resources of the lakes served to identify those who used them as "lake people," just as those who made most use of the rivers' resources were known as "river people," and those who most used marine resources were known as "saltwater people." The term "lake people" as it is applied to those living on Salmon Bay ... makes sense if we understand that they relied upon the resources of the lakes as much as or more than they did upon those of estuary or river. It was an ethnic identity as distinct as those recognized for saltwater people, river people, and inland people..."

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, QPQ is not required due to first nomination. I do not have access to that book nor can really read French, so I'm going to assume good faith that is accurate. However, I have concerns over the hook itself. Now feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I don't find the hook provided particularly interesting or catching - I can't imagine most people would immediately know what a "Citroën 2CV" is. In addition, the source used to make that statement and the one cited here doesn't appear to be the same, but again, I can't read French so someone who can may need to weigh in here.

Also some inconsistencies I have noticed on a glance in the article itself is a few unsourced statements, such as under the "From a technical point of view, Gerboise Verte was a failure." and "Gerboise Verte is also discussed in Thomas Cantaloube's first novel, Requiem for a Republic (2019)." part, which I have marked. This needs citation to reliable sources. If these issues can be addressed and perhaps an alternate hook put forward then perhaps this could be accepted. TheBritinator (talk) 18:04, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm gonna have to disagree here with regards to the interestingness of the hook. Having a passenger car transport a material for a nuclear bomb does sound interesting and unusual. However, I do understand the argument and a reword might help make the point more obvious. How about:
  • ALT0a ... that according to witnesses, the plutonium charge in the bomb used in the nuclear weapons test Gerboise Verte was transported in an economy car?
The 2CV being an economy car is not in the article but is mentioned in the article for the 2CV, so that would need to be added if ALT0a is accepted. Still, I think this makes the point more obvious than the original proposal. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Article seems to be improved now, and I have updated the review as such. As for the hook - my point was more on the side that doesn't make it catching as it may be perceived as rather confusing. However, the alternate hook you provided seems to address this issue. May we have an input, @XabqEfdg:? TheBritinator (talk) 11:56, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see why the original hook could be confusing since the 2CV is more of a French car. The alternate hook provided by Narutolovehinata5 makes it clearer and does not substantially change the information provided. So, I think that it would be a suitable replacement for the original hook. XabqEfdg (talk) 17:04, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems good to me. Unless anyone have any further queries I approve of the alternate hook suggested. TheBritinator (talk) 15:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source: Spinrad, Jerry (April 2012). "The Untold Talent of Joseph Redding: Profiling a Polymathic Chess Expert". Readex Report. 7 (2).
  • Will be claiming this for review and hope to finish it within the next few days. For what it's worth, the conversion from a redirect is confirmed. My preference for the hook is ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:56, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article is confirmed to be new and long enough. QPQs have been provided. I did not find close paraphrasing. As stated earlier, ALT1 is the more interesting hook, but I would suggest delinking chess to limit the number of links in the hook and because chess is already well known. I also don't think the link to the Supreme Court is necessary either. As for ALT1 itself, it is sourced to a mix of accessible and offline sources. However, the link you provided in the nomination does not mention his involvement in Kagama, and while I'd normally assume good faith it would probably be nice to include a quote or excerpt on this pace confirming his involvement. In addition, the part about him being a chess polymath, while mentioned in the article, lacks a footnote in the relevant sentence. This should be good to go once those issues have been sorted out. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5 Actually the source does allude to Kagama which is clear because of the details it gives which match the case. Spinrad says, "At age 23, he was a rising legal star. Before he turned 30, Redding won a case before the Supreme Court of the United States, which had important legal ramifications on limits of Federal Laws. Redding defended an Indian accused of murder on his reservation, arguing that reservations were not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and that the matter should be decided by tribal law. Winning a case before the Supreme Court put Redding among the elite lawyers of California." Regadless if you looked in my cited references list you would see an entire source with a highly detailed account of Kagama with particular discussion of Redding's winning argument: Sidney L. Harring, The Story of United States v. Kagama, in Indian Law Stories 150 (Carole Goldberg, Kevin K. Washburn, & Phillip P. Frickey, eds., 2011); Weiner. I also point you to the FA class article on United States v. Kagama where Redding is discussed. If people want to learn more on the case and what Redding did they can always go to that page. There's not a viability problem here.4meter4 (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, I didn't suggest I was doubting the source, I was merely asking for clarification since I had no access to the source (even the Worldcat source is inaccessible to me) and I just wanted to be sure. However, the issue with the chess polymath thing will still need to be addressed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5 I unlinked chess and United States Supreme Court as you suggested. I added a redundant citation after the sentence for the polymath fact; although I think it was pretty clear the entire paragraph was cited to that one article. The hook fact was also cited earlier in the lead with inline citations after each sentence. 4meter4 (talk) 00:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • You should seriously consider integrating some indication that "Here I Go Again" is a Legends of Tomorrow episode in the hooks.--Launchballer 22:31, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, ALT3 is probably the more interesting. Full review needed.--Launchballer 10:04, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I came to leave a passing by comment that IMHO Star Trek reference is more interesting than ABBA one, but you can have the cake and eat it - it should not be hard to craft a hook that mentions both topics. Technically it can be passed now but I'd strongly encouraging trying to make a better alt that squeezes in multiple tidbits. Side-note: I an not sure if this would survice an AfD due to WP:GNG issues, but that's not an issue for now unless someone tags it with notability template and/or starts an AFD and I am not inclinded to throw that stone. Other issues (size, refs, QPQ) are good, although plot is unreferenced.

WP:DYKCITE makes an exception for plot summaries... but articles with questionable notability would fall foul of WP:DYKTAG.--Launchballer 07:27, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As noted, plot summaries don't have to be cited; the episode (or book or film or whatever) itself is considered the natural reference. There are some oddities in the article, such as the episode being said to be the eleventh lowest in viewing, when it's actually the eleventh highest (number 11 of 18); there's also no context without the number of episodes involved. It could also use a copyedit. While I personally like Legends of Tomorrow, I do have to wonder about the overall notability of most episode articles for the show given that it was a quirky one rather than a more mainstream, popular one. The season article is usually sufficient to cover the high points, with very short plot summaries for individual episodes. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:58, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BlueMoonset:@Piotrus: I removed the episode ranking line as it was unrefresned. As for the notability it is a problem for a good amount of episodes, however I do not think that is the case as it has over three sources and in my experiance thats usually considered enough. The best ones are probably [14][15][16]. This is an interview from years later discussing it [17]. And it appears on a few lists.

  • Comment: Consider eliminating parentheses and piping the link to slighted within demolished. Alternately, consider removing it altogether. You really don't want parentheticals in a hook, as it defeats the purpose of DYK. Viriditas (talk) 08:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: even briefer with the hook; I suggest "... that Weston Turville Castle was slighted on Henry II's orders after the Revolt of 1173–1174?'". That there were other castles is true but not necessary for the hook; the potentially unfamiliar use of slighted in this context enhances the hook. Klbrain (talk) 15:53, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with this suggestion. I hesitated to mention it because I didn’t want to drastically alter the hook, but I should have. Viriditas (talk) 18:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Viriditas and Klbrain: Good suggestion! I'm too close to the topic of slighting to remember the curiosity factor may hook people in. I've adjusted the hook. Richard Nevell (talk) 19:20, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Richard Nevell: Is that a typo I see in the "Layout" section of the article? It says "Weston Turville Castle consists of a mound or (a motte) with two attached enclosures (baileys): on to the south and one to the east". Or is the use of "on" here unique to British English? Viriditas (talk) 19:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Richard Nevell: Apologies, but I think I've spotted another, this time in the "Archaeological investigation" section: should "The excavation lasted for three week" be changed to "three weeks"? Also, you need spaces between the measurement units, "9m long and 3m". Viriditas (talk) 20:26, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've addressed that one and checked again. I think I've fixed all the typos (which is a guaranteed way to flush out any remaining typos). Richard Nevell (talk) 21:03, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Richard Nevell: Unless I'm reading this wrong (and that's certainly possible, so take this with a grain of salt), DYKcheck is showing you are coming up short in the fivefold expansion count, which amounts to a missing 464 characters, which could be interpreted as a missing 40 words or so. If true, all you have to do is add a few more sentences, or a small paragraph. Viriditas (talk) 20:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that explains the problem. The count you are using starts at 15 February (506 char), but you need to start the count at the time of expansion, which is 2 April (797 chars), which is within the seven day window for fivefold expansion. 15 Feb is, sadly, not. Wikipedia:Did you know/DYKcheck makes this easier to determine as you can easily run it on an individual date by going to the diff in the page history. It shouldn't be that difficult to add two sentences, as that's all it's going to take. Viriditas (talk) 21:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The guidance says "This calculation is made from the last version of the article before the expansion began", so that would be 15:18, 2 April 2024 (506 characters). The expansion started at 18:05, 2 April 2024‎ so all within seven days. I just installed DYK Checker and it does say "Assuming article is at 5x now, expansion began 32 edits ago on February 27, 2024. Article has not been created or expanded 5x or promoted to Good Article within the past 10 days (37 days)". I'm not sure how it's worked that out, but the page history makes it clear the expansion took place almost entirely on 2 April, and on that day the starting size was 506 characters. Richard Nevell (talk) 22:18, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not correct, because it would mean the fivefold expansion window was extended to several months instead of seven days. On 14:18, 2 April 2024, the day before you began expansion, the starting size was 797 characters according to DYK Checker, not 506.[18] DYKcheck also confirms this as the 5x expansion starting point size regardless of the approximate date. The last time the article was anywhere near 506 characters was on 15 February.[19] I think we can all agree that is just under two months over the seven day window and cannot be used a starting point for 5x expansion. Are we in agreement? All you need to do is add two sentences. Viriditas (talk) 22:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I just went and did this without Prosesize or DYKcheck. I get 423 characters, which would give us 2,115 at 5x, so you are well over at 3,537. Not sure why it's giving me bad counts. So I think we are good to go and just need a review now. Viriditas (talk) 22:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that Oksana Lyniv, who founded the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine in 2016, conducted them on a concert tour in 2022 to ten music festivals in Austria, Germany and Switzerland? Source: several
    • ALT1: ... that Oksana Lyniv conducted the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine that she founded in 2016, in Berlin in 2023 in Evgeni Orkin's Odessa Rhapsody and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony? Source: several
    • Reviewed: see below, reviewed after nomination and response
    • Comment: "Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it ..." - I heard this orchestra and found their playing (and history) fascinating. What can we say? The first hook is modelled after a suggestion by Airshipjungleman, trying to please. I'd prefer music. Suggestions welcome. The conductor was the first woman ever to conduct at the Bayreuth Festival which would be sensational - just not about the orchestra, and her article is too old. I took a picture but it doesn't show well in small size. Her image is clear but not exactly about the orchestra.

  • As 4meter4 is the other opera DYK expert here and may have more experience with regards to the subject matter, I am inviting them to review this nomination. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:53, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also suggesting hooks here:
ALT2 ... that a 2024 review of a performance by the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine praised it for giving a refreshing take on Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto?
ALT3 ... that the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine performed 30 concerts across ten music festivals in 2022?
I was also thinking about a hook about the Casals Forum performance, but it might be hard to put that into a concise hook, and one issue is that the Ukrainian work doesn't have an article. Though if there was a good way to highlight the combination of Ukrainian and German works, that might be a good option. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the offers. I believe that the year of foundation (before the invasion) and even more the fact that this orchestra is shaped not only by a woman, but one of the most distinguished women conducting (first in Bayreuth, first to become musical director of an Italian opera house!) would add interest to any hook. Please consider and perhaps rephrase. I plan an article on the violinist, which means that the idea of ALT2 could come with him. The combination of Ukrainian and classical period music is the theme of ALT1, and for the average reader, Berlin is still the better known venue than the Casals Forum, and Beethoven's Fifth stronger than the Concerto. I would have liked to add "German premiere" to the speaking title Odessa Rhapsody, but then it was 201 chars. Perhaps the article on the composer Evgeni Orkin or even the piece will be written some day, a possibility to mention that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt and Narutolovehinata5 I'm happy to review since I was pinged. I agree to a certain extent that Oksana Lyniv would add interest to some readers. She was recently profiled in The New York Times and will be familiar to some (but not many) English speaking readers. That said, I think Narutolovehinata5's hooks have stronger appeal in the way they are crafted to an English speaking audience. I suggest working her into alt hooks 2 and 3. by stating performance were led by or under "founding music director Oksana Lyniv" or "by the orchestra's founding director Oksana Lyniv". Whatever works best per the hook and keeps it as succinct as possible. No additional content should be altered though to these hooks or they will cease to be hooky. That means no throwing in of extraneous facts like when and where the orchestra was founded or listing all the countries where they toured. we could simly say they performed "internationally" in alt 3 to make it clear not all of the music festivals were in the same country. I will look at other criteria momentarily and will provide a full review shortly. In the mean time, work on those hook modifications, and remember hooks with too many facts will be rejected.4meter4 (talk) 19:07, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the effort. I believe that the founding year and performance year tell readers with little effort that this orchestra survived the invasion, and I believe that even people who never heard the conductor's name will still like that it's a woman. Please don't put work into ALT2 because I seriously would like that fact for the violinist.
ALT0a: ... that Oksana Lyniv founded the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine in 2016 and conducted them in 2022 at ten music festivals. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alt0b" ... that Oksana Lyniv founded the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine in 2016 and conducted them in 30 concerts across ten music festivals in 2022?
I'm sold on that argument Gerda. But the wording by Narutolovehinata5 had a stronger grabbing quality to the ear. I spliced them in Alt0b and that should make everyone happy.4meter4 (talk) 19:44, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now that we have a good sounding hook, on to the review. I want to begin by saying thank you for creating this article. I found it interesting. The article is new enough and long enough. AltoB is the hook I am going to approve, and it is verified to the EFNYO source, which is a reliable primary source. However. there are several issues with the article when it comes to passing WP:DYKCITE. WP:RSPRIMARY states "Large blocks of material based purely on primary sources should be avoided." The article is currently mainly built from primary source materials from professional organizations with ties to the orchestra. These are all self published websites, and while I believe them to contain accurate and reliable information (some of them are government instutions/websites) they are still primary materials and should be used sparingly. Only two sentences in the entire article are built from secondary sources, and this is a major problem. Those two sentences are the ones cited to the two independent secondary sources used from Der Tagesspiegel and FAZ. The referencing therefore needs to be drastically improved, and wherever possible, primary materials need to be replaced with secondary sources. Additionally, any paragraph containing 50% or more material cited to primary sources is a red flag to promotion per WP:RSPRIMARY which specifically forbids paragraphs only based on primary materials. In other words, there is much work to be done to get the referencing in line with policy.

Additionally, the article fails WP:DYKTAG because there are many run-on sentences. The entire first paragraph of the body is a mess. Content needs to be broken up into smaller sentences. I would suggest moving "successful internationally in opera and concert" out of the first sentence, and explaining who Oksana Lyniv is and what her reputation is with an attributed quote in a second sentence. I would move "based on the model of the German national youth orchestra, Bundesjugendorchester." into a third sentence after that. There are many German orchestras, so don't refer to any orchestra as the German orchestra. Use proper names throughout. It's not clear at all what Kyiv, Bonn and Berlin are doing/ refering to at the end of the paragraph. I'm assuming some performances happened there? It's confusing as worded. Remember that readers may not realize/know that Lyniv conducts all (or most?) their concerts. You need to state she does somewhere, or any reference to "the conductor" may not be obviously about her. Critical assessment quotes should be attributed in the prose of the article. The first sentence of the last paragraph is a run-on-sentence and needs to be broken up into smaller pieces. Lots of work to do Gerda. Ping me when copy-editing and sourcing issues are fixed.4meter4 (talk) 20:14, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article has been copy edited and most of the citations to primary sources have been replaced with secondary reference citations. Those few that remain are to reliable government affiliated websites or fall under the non-controversial use per WP:ABOUTSELF policy. Approving hook Altob only. Hook length checks out and the hook fact is verified to the cited source.4meter4 (talk) 20:01, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ALT0 is very unlikely to fly per WP:DYKFICTION. Is there a reason the article describes the narrator as "Richard F------", given that Wikipedia is not censored?--Launchballer 18:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • The character's name is censored in the original book. I think the real-world implication of ALT0 is the age of the book: it would be unsurprising to learn that this sort of material is in a contemporary book, but people are often unaware that dildos and cross-dressing existed in the eighteenth century, or that 18thC books had sex in them. What do you think of ALT2 below? ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:12, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • ALT2... that the 1748 chapbook A Spy on Mother Midnight is studied for its sex scenes with cross-dressing and a dildo? Sources: Thomason, Laura E. (2009).

I did, I just forgot all about it. ALT2 (and ALT1) are both short enough, AGF sourced, and interesting. Full review needed.--Launchballer 07:44, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article is a new GA and long enough. It's well sourced (with AGF on contents supported by offline sources), neutral, and copyvio free, as well as supported with freely-licensed images complete with captions. All hooks are cited, but I have a strong preference to ALT1, which is better and no more sensational than the other hooks. QPQ has been given, so this is good to go. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 13:13, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I just remembered that parentheses aren't allowed in hooks, so I've moved '1748' outside of them. This shouldn't affect eligibility, but stating for posterity.--Launchballer 15:34, 10 April 2024 (UTC
  • Just popping in as the GA reviewer to say that I find the original hook (and ALT2) to be much better than ALT1. -- asilvering (talk) 19:08, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tomás Treviño de Sobremonte

  • ... that when offered to repent before being burnt at the stake, one crypto-Jew allegedly told his tormentors to 'throw more wood on the fire'? Source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/4467073 "Tomas Treviño de Sobremonte: A Jewish Mexican Martyr" by Seymour B. Liebman. Text to support: "A contemporary, Gregorio M. de Guijo, recorded in his diary that even during the march to the stake on 14 April 1649, there were "no words of condemnation of Tremiño" (sic).' He added that the onlookers of the parade were left with admiration when Tomas refused to kiss the cross. His refusal denied him the privilege of garrote (a speedier, less painful, death) and, consequently, he was burned alive. In the publication of De Guijo's diary, Manuel Romero de Torreros wrote that Treviño exclaimed as the flames licked at his body, "Throw on more wood, this [fire] is costing me enough money." page 63.
    https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv47w8sq.9?seq=80 chapter "El siglo de integración" from "Historia general de México" by Andrés Lira, Luis Muro (in Spanish). Text to support: Célebre fue aquella ejecución de 1648, en que uno de los reos, Tomás Treviño de Sobremonte, condenado a morir en la hoguera, por no haberse arrepentido o "reconciliado" -como la gran mayoría solía hacerlo-- decía al verdugo, después de resistirse al franciscano que lo exhortaba para que pensara en la salvación de su ánima, "echen más [leña] que mi dinero me cuesta". Translation by Jaguarnik: "Famed was the execution of 1648, in which one of the condemned, Tomás Treviño de Sobremonte, condemned to die at the stake for not having repented or "reconciled" - as the great majority usually did - said to the executioner, after resisting the Franciscan friar who exhorted him to think of the salvation of his soul - "throw more [wood] on, for it costs me my money." page 450.
    • Reviewed:
    • Comment: open to rewordings of the hook because it's a bit long and awkward, but I can't think of a better way to phrase it. If possible, I'd like it to be featured on 14 April, the day of Treviño's execution, but it's not necessary.

  • I like this! Article is eligible, in good shape (I'd lengthen that lede a sentence or two though), and I see no evidence of copyvio. QPQ not needed. The hook is good as-is, but I think it could be improved by rephrasing the end to "allegedly told his tormentors to 'throw more wood on the fire'?

I'll review. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting article about an EP (I had to look up what that is) with a title that attracted me, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I was a bit disappointed never to have the title explained, nor the interesting cover art. - Of the hooks, I prefer ALT2 as more emotional, so will discuss that. The EP title is long, - do we really need the song title also, vs. simply "a song"? Do you expect people to know who Mark Foster is, or might we add "lead singer" or band member, perhaps with a piped link to the band? Having read the article, I know now that only the text was inspired by the cancer diagnosis, and "which is about" may be a bit to colloquial, no? How about "written in response to". "was able to be played for him" sounds needlessly complicated. So please reword ALT2 and I'll check again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: Thank you for your feedback! I've added a third alternative hook with the changes you've suggested. Does it look good to you? (Please note I may be late to reply to your feedback, due to school.) SupremeLordBagel (talk to me) 20:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I like it better! I'm not yet happy with the double possessive. It may be a silly question: Do you think the name of the band matters, I mean makes it more interesting? If not, could we shorten it to
ALT3a: ... that one song from the EP In the Darkest of Nights, Let the Birds Sing, written in response to the cancer diagnosis of singer Mark Foster's uncle, could be played for him before his death?
I approve both ALT3 and ALT3a but am open to better wording. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's definitely better - I was thinking ALT3 was just a little long! I've made a few tiny wording edits, but otherwise I think it's good.
ALT3b: ... that a song from the EP In the Darkest of Nights, Let the Birds Sing, written in response to the cancer diagnosis of singer Mark Foster's uncle, could be played for him before his death?
Thanks, SupremeLordBagel (talk to me) 22:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
sorry about my leftover for uncle ;) - the reason why I used "one" was that I tried to clarify that not the whole album was written in response - perhaps you have a better idea - English is not my first language. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that saying "a song" makes it clear enough that it's only referring to a single song (that being "Lamb's Wool"). It's also a little shorter than "one song", so I think that it will work.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thank you for this jolly good article - written in beautiful, elegant English, worthy of Henry James, I might say.

  • The ALT0 hook would be fine if it made clear who the victim of the insult is - otherwise it's just one one random bloke insulting another random bloke. Could you please insert his trade in front of his name, e.g. "newspaperman Jonathan Elliot" or whatever? Newspapermen get challenged all the time for being brave challengers of the status quo, or just mouthy - which is what makes them interesting. And there is nothing wrong with the words "penurious" and "venal" - they are jolly good insults (try them on your mum next time she wants to borrow your allowance back cos she's skint). It would weaken the hook to rephrase them - this is not Simple Wikipedia.
  • Hook fact is borne out, next to the fact in the article, by the online Dictionary of National Biography.

When this issue is resolved, this would be good to go, with either hook. Storye book (talk) 17:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Storye book: Thank you for your kind words! I'm a little bit confused, do you think the ALT1 needs further expansion? Since I think that's ultimately the stronger hook here. If an internationalisation is needed, we can just rephrase it to President John Quincy Adams. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 18:30, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not at all. I am cheering on ALT0 for its witty insult, and I am suggesting that we further identify Eliot (as the article's subject, and the subject of the insult) as a newspaperman in ALT0. I am not interested in improving ALT1 further, though you are welcome to do so if you wish. I don't think we need to further identify Adams, because it would distract from our hero Eliot. Just my opinion. Storye book (talk) 20:55, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think going with ALT1 as the hook would be best then. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 00:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is that a typo, or do you really mean ALT1? ALT1 is by far the weaker hook, because "denounced" is boring, whereas "penurious and venal" is very funny and very sad, and reflects on the speaker, rather than on the victim of the insult. "Penurious" as commonly used in those days, meant being in the habit of having no money whatsoever, due to stupidity, laziness, bad luck, gullibility to fraudsters and all the rest of it: basically a loser. "Venal" as used in that era tended to mean constantly having one's mind on money, being greedy for money, and acting in a money-grasping manner. The combination of those words could of course be directed at a feckless and greedy person, but was more commonly directed at the poor and the starving, i.e. those who were not a financial success, and consequently were not the epitome of the American Dream. But the combination could also imply a suspicion of miserliness and corruption, i.e. pretending to be poor and asking too-high prices or demanding large bribes. So the insult "penurious and venal" could also be used by someone who grudged paying their bills, i.e. they were actually penurious and venal themselves, haha. Either way, like most insults, it reflects badly on the speaker, and not really on the victim.
  • So: (a) If you still insist on ALT1, I shall defer to your opinion as the nomintor, and I'll give the green tick - but with misgivings. Or: (b) If the above is a typo, and you really want ALT0, then please put some kind of indication of trade before Eliot's name in ALT0 and I'll give the green tick with a choice of either hook for the promoter.

  • Eligible, neutral, sourced inline, no copyvio, valid image licenses (including fair use rationale for the single cover), no QPQ required etc.
  • Technically the hook fact must be sourced inline in the article at the end of the sentence, whereas it's currently at the end of the paragraph. All that's required is repeating the same inline citation at the end of the sentence.
  • "weren't" violates MOS:CONTRACT, I think the "Personnel" section needs en dashes (–) rather than hyphens (-) (per MOS:LISTDASH) and in my opinion music journalists is an WP:OVERLINK (phrase understood by most readers in context).
  • In my opinion, the prose is on the wordy side. One example: "He then went to a recording studio in Paris with Daft Punk, where they presented him with the draft instrumental". Could the same information be conveyed by: "At a Paris recording studio, Daft Punk presented him with the draft instrumental."? Another, before: Wolfson criticized that there was "probably not one original idea" in the song, but further stated that it did not matter due to its "spectacular" execution. After: Wolfson said the lack of originality in the song was outweighed by its "spectacular" execution.

The wording is largely good enough for DYK, although I'd still like the examples above to be improved. I think we'll be good to go when this and the hook inline citation are addressed. Overall it's clear a lot of work has gone into this article and it's in a good state. — Bilorv (talk) 22:00, 6 April 2024 (UTC) @Bilorv[reply]

Images are freely licensed (I'm assuming these are eligible under Commons:COM:FOP UK as a public interior and works of artistic craftsmanship). The hook is cited and interesting.

Overall: Dcdiehardfan everything is really good except the hook needs work. Creating a five mile highway for a single scene of a single episode of a TV show is quite something, also currently the hook reads like the episode title is the name of the series or movie. I'd suggest something like ..... that the production team of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV series created a highway over five miles long to capture visual effects for a truck action sequence for the episode "The Star-Spangled Man"?

I haven't seen the show so I don't understand the signifcance of the birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr, if this could be explained more clearly in the article and hook that could be an option but currently it just sounds like a random fact. The development section mentions that the series deals with race once but this isn't clear how or mentioned in the hook Source: https://www.vfxvoice.com/taking-flight-with-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier/ John Cummings (talk) 11:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Favre1fan93: and @John Cummings: Thank you both for your responses. I accept Favre's ideas, and went ahead and will propose my own slate below, as I still want to retain some elements across while also incorporating the feedback. I liked the MLK Jr reference as I felt it would appeal to the general public, but I better understand the concerns since I'm not sure if I can concisely describe that context, I think I'll nix it for now and use 5m-highway as the main hook, if that's ok with Favre. I choose Favre's Star Spangled Man as my new 2nd, but still want to stick with my Hobbit one. So my ideal slate is looking like this (obviously subject to change and a WIP):

  1. ^ Frederica of Hanover (1971). A Measure of Understanding. MacMillan. ASIN B000TDQ63S. In 1954 , [shipowner] Eugenides asked me to visit one of his transatlantic liners and give it my name. When this type of request is made, it is customary to offer the godmother a large brilliant brooch . However, on this occasion I had an idea and asked Eugenides if, instead of this traditional gift, he would give me the necessary means to organize a cruise during which I would invite all the royal families of Europe […]. There were different reasons for organizing this cruise. First, Paul and I wanted to open the doors of Greece to tourism . […] But the first thing we needed was to get the world's attention. As the world press was responsible for giving wide publicity to the cruise, everything worked very well. Immediately afterwards, shipping companies began to organize cruises exactly following the program and itinerary of ours, and soon hotels and other land-based services and facilities began to bring tourist money to the country. Another reason was that, since World War I , royal families had not reunited internationally. […] The trip was a great success. We were 110 people, of twenty nationalities and speaking 15 different languages; despite this there was not the slightest difficulty during the ten days that the cruise lasted. […]

  • Article is new enough and long enough, has no apparent issues, and I like it. My one question is if the hook might be better if it included a direct link to both Shep and the semipalmated sandpiper sculpture? So something like this: ... that the replacement of a semipalmated sandpiper sculpture named Shep in New Brunswick led to a $19,000 investigation over code of conduct violations? If you prefer the original, there is nothing wrong with it and we can go with that, but I think providing the link to the type of bird for curious readers is fun. What do you think?

  • Re Earwig's comparison of Harrogate War Memorial: it only picks up proper names and a quotation beginning "one of the first British servicewomen...", which is properly signified as a quotation, and attributed in the article. As far as I am aware, there is no poor paraphrasing or copyvio in that article. Storye book (talk) 09:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I understand it, isolated, short, common phrases are de minimis, and do not count as copyvio. No big-ass lawyer hoping to make his fortune off us would pick on that one. it would cost him money when it got laughed out of court. However, just to keep the peace I have rephrased it for you. Storye book (talk) 15:20, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • ALT1: ... that Harrogate War Memorial (pictured), by Ernest Prestwich, names 1163 casualties of the First and Second World Wars, of whom 300 have unknown graves, and the youngest was 15 years old? (source as ALT0 above).
  • I have removed the dodgy numbers from the article. The plaques were removed, rewritten and replaced in 1948, and who knows whether they have been corrected (or just misread) since then. The name-counts were probably all correct in their day. Harrogate Civic Society counted them last, and they had two people spending five years on the study of all the war dead mentioned, ending in 2023, so they have the best chance of being up to date and correct.

Yes, very happy to change it to a piped link after the merger takes place, but before that happens the relevant content is at the original location. Onceinawhile (talk) 22:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Secondary (but significant) issue: the sourcing seems to be heavily biased into one direction, and while I’m not familiar enough with the specific topic to actually confirm or deny errors or incompleteness, it would probably be beneficial to look for other sources in English or Hebrew just to improve the article further before using it for a DYK. Also, according to the article, it is one village, not necessarily the village of their specific ancestors, so we should have a new hook too. FortunateSons (talk) 23:27, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @FortunateSons: the lede and body of the article are based solely on three academic sources of the highest quality and neutrality – an article in Geografiska Annaler and two monographs published by Stanford University Press and Cambridge University Press. All the rest of the sourcing relates to the list of events – this is just a list of dates and locations, so I don’t see any room for bias. Please could you clarify your concern, so it can be addressed? Onceinawhile (talk) 20:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Onceinawhile: You’re right, I assumed that they were used similarly to the Arabic article without checking, sorry about that. While the heavy reliance on one source [3] is not ideal, it appears to be of such high quality that it is probably appropriate even on a controversial topic, unless some indication to the contrary should emerge. I think not including the list cited heavily on AJ Arabic is a worthy consideration, but probably optional. Did you have a chance to give some thought to my comment about the hook?

Non-combatant Casualty Value

  • ... that the Non-combatant Casualty Value allows the lives of people from other races and geographies to be assigned different values? Source: Delori 2020, p. 317-318: "NCCV depends, notably, on two factors. It depends, firstly, on the subjective assessment of the ‘value’ of civilians. In this respect, the most important variable is geographical or/and racial. When a ‘terrorist’ attack occurs on the territory of a Western state, the NCCV used by police and military forces is close to zero, meaning that they do not want to put at risk any French or Western civilian. When they operate in the non-Western world, however, the NCCV rises significantly. This is why Western forces use different instruments depending on whether they operate in a Western country or or in other parts of the world: elite commandos on the ground in the former case, armed drones and fighter-bomber jets in the latter.

FWIW, They're two different things, but the "trolling" bit is mentioned only in the March 2016 FBI section. The personal notoriety part was mentioned by the sheriff in the post-shooting investigation.
The part in the article where this same information is put is this: "He convinced FBI investigators that he was simply "trolling", and that he was "not the type to actually do any of this stuff".

Interesting life and work, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The hook works for me. The image is licensed and an excellent illustration not only of the person but also the period at a glance. I have a few points about the article that you may consider, irrelevant for DYK.
  1. Her name. I would not call her Kimball until she is married.
  2. I would - as you know - whenever a composition has an article, mention the composer only by last name without link, to avoid two links in a row, and to link the more specific thing. People who really don't know Rossini can find that in the Stabat Mater article, - Stabat Mater as a standard Latin phrase like Magnificat not needing italics.
  3. GSL - I would link to Großes Sängerlexikon, - as written, with the two authors, it sounds as if two people had arrived at the same view independently. I strongly recommend to use the actual link to page in the latest edition.
    Kutsch, K. J.; Riemens, Leo (2012). "Kimball, Agnes". Großes Sängerlexikon (in German) (4th ed.). De Gruyter. p. 2380. ISBN 978-3-59-844088-5.
  4. I have a hard time with the wording "They had one daughter together" - why not "They had a daughter"?
  5. Second image: I'd find it better on the right side, making her "turn in" (the posture rather than the eyes), and use standard upright size.
  6. I am not sure that "beautifully conducted" is the right term for "schön geführt" talking about voices, but am too unfamiliar with such technical terms in English to recommend something better.
Again thank you for much detail about a forgotten singer! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda Arendt Thanks for the review Gerda. I incorporated most of your suggestions. In terms of the translation of "schön geführt" would "beautifully executed" be a better translation than "beautifully conducted"? You are after all a native German speaker.4meter4 (talk) 15:09, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm a native German speaker, but unfamiliar with the terms to describe voices in English. "geführt" suggests "in control" and an even production of lines without register breaks, but is there one word for it in English. I heard "gut geführt" more often than "schön geführt", btw. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think "beautifully controlled" would be a fine translation for English speakers. I've made that change per your input.4meter4 (talk) 15:47, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that after failing to qualify for prestigious races as an athlete, Mounir Akbache (pictured) became a rabbit? Source: In "Mounir Akbache, un coureur au service des autres" (in French), "Why did you choose to be a hare rather than a runner? I was a good athlete [...] but it didn't allow me to enter the world's biggest races. Today, I have the opportunity to be on the starting line alongside an Olympic or world champion. I'm living exceptional moments that I could never have experienced as an individual."
In L'Equipe (in French), ""Since what they had done two years ago, it was no longer a myth to aim for the world record," jubilated Mounir Akbache, whose first world record as a hare was set."

  • Article is just barely long enough, but satisfies other requirements. I don't see any copyvio or outstanding issues (though I would recommend adding a second sentence to the lede). The hook checks out in its current state, but I think it's a bit excessively in length. How about something like "... that after failing to qualify for prestigious races, Mounir Akbache became a rabbit?" I think you can make this a great quirky hook by playing on the rabbit line without actually explaining what that is. Makes people wanna click to learn more. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 06:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Generalissima, thank you for your feedback.  Done I expanded the article lede, and edited the hook (only part I added onto your suggestion is the phrase "as an athlete" to emphasize the distinction between running solo vs as a rabbit, but you are free to remove it if you think it's awkward). --Habst (talk) 10:05, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thank you for a fascinating article. I really enjoyed reading that. Just one thing: From the language of the title, I guessed it might be about Japan, but as soon as I began reading the header, which starts with the words "Ryukyuan history", I became very puzzled - it wasn't Japanese history, so where was it? I had to follow links to work out where it was. So please could you write something in the header to the effect that it is islands near Japan, and give us the name of the islands?

Sitdown strike

Sitdown strikers in the 1937 General Motors strike in Flint Michigan
Sitdown strikers in the 1937 General Motors strike in Flint Michigan
  • ... that there were 583 sitdown strikes in the United States from 1936 to 1939, affecting over a half-million workers? Source:
  • US Department of Labor, Division of Industrial Relations (May 1939). "Analysis of Strikes in 1938". Monthly Labor Review: Table 16.
  • US Department of Labor, Division of Industrial Relations (May 1940). "Strikes in 1939". Monthly Labor Review: 28-29.

Source 1 states: "The number of sit-down strikes in 1936, 1937, and 1938 by months, with the number' of workers involved, is given in table 16."

Table 16 lists the same numbers of strikes given in source 2 below. It lists workers involved as follows: 1936: 87,817 1937: 398,117 1938: 28,749

Source 2 states: "In 1936 there were 48 so-called sit-down strikes. In 1937 the number increased to 477, but by 1938 they decreased to 52. There were only 6 strikes during 1939 in which all or part of the strikers remained at their workplaces for one or more days after ceasing work. he number of workers idle in connection with these 6 strikes was 3,416, although the number participating in the sit-down or stay-in feature is not known."

This sentence involves a very encyclopedic form of synthesis in that it adds numbers from two consecutive studies by the same source. Similar synthesis, but without inclusion of the latter number appears in Sidney Fine's book Sitdown, cited in the article.

  • QPQ not needed, expansion is recent and article is long enough. Hook is properly sourced. However, Earwig detected a 43.2% similarity. Before I pass this nom, I think it would be suitable to trim down some quotes, if possible. Davest3r08 >:3 (talk) 22:33, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've reviewed the Earwig similarity report, which highlights passages that are either in quotes or comprise part of citations (including the journal name and another cited article). The longest passage is the summary of the Matignon Agreement, a quotation I don't think I can improve upon. I've revised the article to reduce the amount of material directly quoted from Torigian and from Adamic, but keep Adamic's longer definition and Torigian's POV that the mid-1930s strikes were a distinct phase of using the tactic. Let me know whether you think these changes sufficiently reduce the reliance of direct quotations.--Carwil (talk) 13:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article is newly 5x expanded and certainly long enough. The majority of sources used are either peer-reviewed academic journal articles or books from respected academic publishers, so I have no issues with accepting offline sources in good faith. The dated sources (1931/1943) are used sparingly and in appropriate context. Earwig returns no likelihood of copyright violation, although as noted a number of sources are offline. The article is well written and I see no neutrality issues - assessments of his actions are appropriately attributed to sources and contextualised. Possibly some additional commentary from modern writers could be included in the #Legacy section at some point, but this is not critical for the DYK nom. The hook is interesting – you had plenty to choose from – and reliably sourced as per the quote. The images used are correctly licensed, and QPQ is done. Thanks User:Generalissima for bringing this article on a significant historical figure up to scratch - I would see this as needing very little work to get it to GA/FA status if you would like to pursue a nomination.

Overall: Looks good. Nice work @Launchballer:. Only question: if there is a branch still open (article makes it seem like Greater Manchester branch is open, only West Disbury closed), shouldn't the article say "Greens is a restaurant" rather than "Greens was a restaurant"? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be inclined to say no, on the grounds that the West Didsbury branch is the one with virtually all of the coverage, and that's the one I've written about. I've amended the article to that effect.--Launchballer 06:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it makes sense that the West Didsbury Greens is the subject. Presumably a new team was recruited for Sale, so the owners have a less hands on role. I think it would be useful to add something like "the Sale restaurant is still open as of 2024". TSventon (talk) 11:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I worry that such a statement would fall foul of WP:As of, but I have reworded it to the effect of 'the Sale restaurant outlived the Didsbury restaurant'.--Launchballer 11:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Everything checks out, but I don't think just the fact that she directed, wrote and acted in a leading role is interesting. What would be more interesting, in my view, is saying that it was her first time doing any of these things (at least from what the article says — "Chuk also served as the film's director, marking her directorial, scriptwriting, and acting debut in a feature film.") I believe this could be added to the hook to make it more interesting. Skyshiftertalk 21:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article was nominated for DYK within 7 days of passing GAR. Article is long enough. Article well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free; only pings on Earwigs are for some properly attributed quotes. QPQ has been completed. Hooks are interesting, cited (AGF on paywalled source in ALT0), and short enough for DYK. My preference would be for ALT1 or ALT3 as the most interesting options.

Allenbya holmesae

  • ... that while the only fossil of Allenbya holmesae was found by Beverley Burlingame, the new species was named for her mother instead? Source: Archibald & Cannings (2022) Etymology section "The specific epithet is a patronym formed from the surname Holmes, the maiden name of the late Ms. Dorothy Bradbeer of Agriculture Canada, mother of Beverley Burlingame, the collector and donor of the holotype, who instilled in her as a youth a love of insects and fossils."

The only issue is that there needs to be a citation at the end of the following paragraph: As the race advanced through Framingham and Natick, Hughson had built up a lead but was still closely tailed by Caffrey. 45 minutes in, Hughson passed the Natick town hall about 100 yards (91 m) ahead of Caffrey. McDonald at this point was 75 yards (69 m) behind Caffrey, and Sammy Mellor and Davis were running in fourth and fifth 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) behind McDonald.

  • This review is for ALT0, the best hook IMO:
General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: Yes
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes
  • Other problems: No - One issue: the statement in the intro "It is considered the oldest surviving book in the world" is not supported by the references; only the Smithsonian Magazine says "one of the oldest surviving books." That is a significant difference. Please update this.

Overall: @Relativity: Nice work. ALT0 is good. I'm not sure ALT1 works however as the source only says that it is Arnold's only monument on American soil whereas the hook seems to apply to all American traitors. I also thought of another potential hook that might be decent: ... that a boot is the only monument in the United States to traitor Benedict Arnold because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"? That would require another reviewer, though. Let me know what you think; but ALT0 is good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
