Overall: @SeymourHolcomb: Hi Seymour, and welcome to Wikipedia and further to DYK! No need to be nervous, we're a pretty chill bunch. Offline sources are fine, as we assume good faith. Great job on inline sourcing. I fixed a minor typo in ALT2; all hooks are good (although I favor ALT0 or ALT1, as I believe they will appeal to the largest audience).

One small thing: the infobox photo caption calls the church "Vision Church" but the prose calls it "Diamond Lake Church". A quick Google seems to favour calling it "Vision Church", so can this be changed in the body of the article?

I really don't see any other issues with the article to get it ready for DYK, I just fixed a few minor things, so great job for your first go at it! – TCMemoire 15:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the photo so the "Vision Church" disrepency won't be shown. The tense for "Diamond Lake Church" is ambiguous because I could not find concrete proof that Vision Church and Diamond Lake Church are the exact same, despite being Methodist churches on the exact same building. SeymourHolcomb (talk) 20:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can confirm that yes, they are the same church, but without using synth (comparing the map on the "Our Gem" PDF and the location on Google Maps), but I am looking into a source to confirm the name change. SeymourHolcomb (talk) 19:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SeymourHolcomb: Works for me. You're right, they probably are the same church, we just need someone to say it! Going to give this one the approval tick. I did also create a commons category for Diamond Lake, so all photos can nicely be consolidated there. – TCMemoire 09:11, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: For clarity on ALT2, Davies probably also earned a different Bachelor's degree (a BA in English, as he's described in a source written by his wife, which I did not cite in the article as being too close to the subject, as having been an English major) before his MA; his BD, or Bachelor in Divinity, though, was earned after his MA, according to Gale Literature.

Article is well-sourced, presentable, and free from copyvio (where possible, hits on book titles and such).

Overall: for ALT1 as I think folks will want to click on parlor car and it meets the criteria. For ALT0, the name bit didn't really make me want to read more into it. I'm also not convinced that the source for ALT0 fully backs up the claim, as it says it's the only one known by a name, not necessarily that it is still known by the same name. Seems a bit synthy.

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - See comment
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Source 1 doesn't seem to mention the facts in the hook, and the second source seems somewhat partisan and I'm somewhat suspicious of the quality of an article starting with "Did You Know". Does the academic source mentioned in the same paragraph in this article ([7]) mention it in any way? That would be much better. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 06:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Flemmish Nietzsche: Sadly, the academic source doesn't back the claim up but it does back up the claim that an area in the Vatican was once a chariot racing track. Though I'm not sure what's Wikipedia's and the DYK's policy on "possibly statements" (i.e. ...that sport in Vatican City possibly started in the 1st century, when a chariot racing track was built in what was then ancient Rome?" I suggest using ALT1 instead if that's the case. Though I can make another hook if it isn't interesting enough. Arconning (talk) 06:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arconning I checked that journal I suggested, fand you're right about it not being definite that the chariot track ever actually existed there. ALT1 is not the most interesting, but I could accept it if there's nothing else better you can find. How about "... that sport in Vatican City began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?" This might not be the "start" of sport in the area that is now the Vatican, but it seems to be the first major event when that area was under the control of an independent Papal State, so I think it would pass. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 07:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Flemmish Nietzsche For the hook that you suggested, I'm all for it but with some minor tweaks. Since we can't really determine when sport in Vatican City really started, I think we should put something like "governed by the nation", "started by the nation", or something shorter. (i.e. ... that sport in Vatican City started by the nation began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?"). Arconning (talk) 07:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arconning "started by the nation" seems somewhat iffy, as it could be confused with "nation" meaning a group of people sharing a common identity rather than a sovereign state; maybe "state-sponsored" or "officially" would be better? (... that state-sponsored sport in Vatican City began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?") Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 07:45, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Thank you for this interesting article. Just one minor issue:

  • Neutrality can be a delicate thing. The "nasty, brutish and not short enough" review balances the other reviews, so the body of the article is neutral in that respect. But the header only says "critically well-received", which is not neutral, and sounds like an advertisement. So please neutralise the header?
  • I have given the article a minor copyedit, and added a missing reference. That does not affect this DYK nomination.

  • Was a draft until today so new enough and, as I now realise, also long enough. I can't see any problems in the article around copyvio, POV or OR.

  • Strong Oppose this nomination: An article on this subject was deleted 7 months ago because of weak sourcing. There haven't been any new sources added other than a paper by the two proponents of this theory and lots of other really weak sources. Wikipedia's job isn't to promote anti-vaxx conspiracy theories or other conspiracy theories, of which in my and other people's opinions, this is one.

The subject, in my opinion, is notable. I can't say I'm knowledgeable about TESCREAL but the article does appear to be adequately sourced. I've been reading it again and I still think the hook should be promoted. But, as I say, I am not an SME in this area so I will happily step aside if an SME is needed. Incidentally, the lead is the primary location of the hook material and its two sources. Thanks. PearlyGigs (talk) 09:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have to second the concerns brought up above: this article was merged in November for poor sourcing and the fact that it seemed to lean very heavily into the op-ed angle of the source it did use. To be clear, I certainly have a great personal distaste for the majority of people who run the majority of software companies, and ethical objections to a good portion of the United States' GDP (I am a diehard Linux user with all of the political implications that entails). However, the implication that "global tech elites" are engaged in a deliberate scheme to carry out eugenics (as one of the sources said from the previous version of this article), based on a collection of op-eds and blog posts where people who hate them say this a bunch of times, seems to raise some rather significant BLP issues. It is somewhat concerning to vaguely imply this in wikivoice as though it's settled fact, and then the citations are to a journal of biosemiotics. jp×g🗯️ 02:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Posting on here same stuff as in the Talk Page section:
A) This article was merged for lack of WP:N. If you consider it still an issue, use WP:AfD or bug the original admin who deleted, merged, than undeleted this. It isn't a valid argument to suggest that it's settled that it deserves to remerged if we've added a ton of sourcing and improved on it. Settle it by starting the process to delete it if you want.
B) Are there reliable sources indicating that TESCREAL is a significantly derogatory epithet similar to Libtard/Chud? Marc Andreessen self-describes as TESCREAList. Many of these folks regularly ascribe to multiple of these philosophies as transhumanists, ethical altruists, long-termists, etc. Sourcing here does not necessarily imply that every TESCREAList is also a eugenicist, nor do we use WP:SYNTH to suggest that these folks are all eugenicists. There is no mention of eugenicist claims in the third section. Also, we have Big Tech as a wikipedia article along with criticism, which is also a similar "perjorative" against tech companies, and other significant "perjoratives" with negative connotations such as Democrat in Name Only and Cuckservative. These all explain what opinion writers and commentators mean, and why. This article is far more tame than many of those.
C) That more than a dozen opinions use a term like this should be notable enough. I suspect that any sort of article about philosophies will require opinionated sources or commentaries. Effective altruism includes sourcing from Centre for Effective Altruism and by extension the Effective Altruism Forum, study centers specifically invested in effective altruism and founded by leaders, as well as many opinions.
D) WP:OPINION applies here, especially for philosphical arguments. I looked for criticisms of TESCREAL. If more are published, we can include them. These sources are WP:SECONDARY, they contain analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. Secondary sources are not necessarily independent sources.
E) If you want to settle WP:BLP, please post in the section on WP:BLPN. We've already started and done this argument. There are multiple sources on WP:PUBLICFIGUREs here alleging that many of these folks use TESCREAL to justify their tech projects, and we make sure to use the word "allege" correctly, as per WP:OPINION, along with the correct sourcing
Conclusion:) TESCREAL is unliked by some portion of folks on here for some reason. I'm happy to listen to arguments, but I want an argument about why we are suddenly so sensitive about criticism of Elon Musk/etc. for using human extinction for every time someone criticizes his behavior or cars or products.

London bus with wheelchair ramp
I think I found a better hook.
I think that is more interesting as since the TfL bus fleet has been accessible for a while. but since the LU is the oldest metro systems, its partially accessible with only a third. Also with taxis, I assume you're talking about the TfL ones since other services like Uber likely don't have the accessibility scheme in place and use a normal car. I also think something that is not mostly accessible is better and more interesting that those that are fully accessible. For example, a hook stating that the Elizabeth line is fully accessible (even including the old stations) wouldn't be interesting as new(er) systems are expected to be accessible/have step free systems. JuniperChill (talk) 09:36, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'm happy to go with that hook with a minor tweak for "step-free"- yes, I mean "London black taxi", technically Uber is not a taxi (Vehicle for hire). I didn't want to be too negative about accessibility, but the Tube one is balanced. Could use the lead photo - unsure on caption though! Turini2 (talk) 10:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the late reply as I was out and about. Anyway, I don't really need to see the point of the photo if we are talking about 1/3rd of LU stations accessible since I cannot think what demonstrates it, plus its very tight for images on DYK because only one image a day (or two images a day in the event of a backlog) for the ~8 hooks. Also @TheNuggeteer:, what do you think of the new hook as you initially reviewed it? JuniperChill (talk) 16:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think "only" should be removed, but other than that, it's fine. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 23:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now its time to turn the signal green now that the hook issue has been fixed. I didn't know step-free has a hyphen so I'm fine with that alongside removing the 'only'. JuniperChill (talk) 10:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cocoa production in São Tomé and Príncipe[edit]

Cocoa harvested in São Tomé and Príncipe
Cocoa harvested in São Tomé and Príncipe
  • Source: Drew, Keith (6 July 2023). "How the Chocolate Islands are rediscovering their roots". BBC. Retrieved 28 June 2024. The trees thrived in the rich volcanic soil, and by the early 1900s, São Tomé and Príncipe was the biggest exporter of cacao in the world, earning it the nickname of 'The Chocolate Islands'.
  • ALT1: ... that São Tomé and Príncipe was known as "the Chocolate Islands" in the early 1900s, when it was the world's top exporter of cocoa (samples pictured)? Source: Same as above.
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Emmanuella Atora
  • Comment: Technically, São Tomé and Príncipe is a singular country (a Portuguese colony at the time mentioned in the hook). The hook should therefore use singular conjugations of verbs, but it sounded too odd upon my initial reading. I thus changed the verbs to their plural conjugations, as if the islands themselves are being described rather than the modern country or the former colony. I have nonetheless included my original wording as ALT1, in case the reviewer or promoter wants to compare the two.

Yue🌙 07:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • Hi Yue, review follows: article created 3 July and exceeds minimum length; I reworded one sentence slightly to move it further from the source, but otherwise I don't think there is an issue with overly close paraphrasing; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited (BBC); a QPQ has been provided; image is properly licensed and looks fine. I changed from single to double quotation marks in the hooks to match the article and, I think, our MOS. In terms of plurals I think English_plurals#Geographical_plurals_used_as_singular discusses this; either alternative sounds OK to me but British English tends to be a bit more flexible than US English on this (see eg. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Plurals) - Dumelow (talk) 09:40, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dumelow: Thank you for taking the time to do this review! On second thought, maybe ALT1 is the better choice because ALT0 implies that there were two exporters instead of one. Yue🌙 02:53, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - This direct quote needs to have a footnote immediately following: "At first, it was all for fun, but suddenly it went super fast and I was busy with it full time." Per DYK guidelines, the hook fact needs to also have a footnote directly following it; I would put one where the fact appears in both the lead and body.
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes
  • Other problems: No - I'm a little concerned about the reliablity of TVovermind. Searching for it on the perennial sources noticeboard, there's some concern that it's a low-quality clickbait website. Is there a better source available for Dept's birthday? Her nlwiki article cites Famous Birthdays, which is blacklisted and therefore unhelpful. Otherwise, WP:DOB dictates we need to remove it or only include the year, should a source be available. (Maybe check her socials? A birthday tweet or something would be acceptable.)

Comment: I have added a citation in the lead for where it mentions the DYK fact, in addition to placing a citation next to the direct quotation. As for her birth date, I have been unable to find any source, excluding TVovermind, which states her birth date in full. I have found a pinned YouTube comment in her CEMI channel which says her birthday is on December 8.[1] We know that she was 23 years old on September 26, 2023,[2] so I believe we can infer her birth date as being December 8, 1999. Would it be acceptable if I assembled these two sources to state her full birth date? ―Howard • 🌽33 19:28, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Howardcorn33: Unfortunately not; WP:DOB addresses this point, that concensus has been reached that combining sources to deduce a birthdate is considered WP:SYNTH. I would bet that TVovermind is just ripping from Famous Birthdays. Good new, though: if you go back through her celine.dept Instagram, there's a post from December 9, 2019, where she says "yesterday was my 20th birthday", we can use that. I would drop the link for you but I'm having issues linking from Instagram on my phone, sorry!
