  • New enough and long enough. DYK hook fact checks out (and yes, I can read Portuguese... Thanks, Spanish!). Side comment to BaduFerreira: I think intangible rather than immaterial cultural heritage would be a better translation and in line with the term in English. We have Intangible cultural heritage as an article, but it does not line up one-to-one with ptwiki because they split the concept and UNESCO's list into separate pages (thus the separate Wikidata items). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:54, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi Sammi, Thank you for the review! I understand where you're coming from with this comment, but it seems to me that a Patrimônio Cultural Imaterial  [pt] in Brazil is distinct from the UNESCO Intangible cultural heritage so linking to that article would be a little disingenuous. I'm hoping to find enough sources to get an article started for this concept to reduce future confusion between them, but I do appreciate your feedback. For that reason, I prefer to keep it as immaterial for the time being. Thank you again! BaduFerreira (talk) 05:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My point exactly. But I recall editors telling me we could not have hooks that are like this at DYK, because they were downbeat. The same reason we don't see hooks of interesting murders.2603:7000:2101:AA00:54B:36AA:A773:7A69 (talk) 22:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see that in our guidelines — take a look at WP:DYKINT. I've personally written about a murder and it was added to DYK. Perhaps you're thinking of our rule that hooks must use a neutral point of view? In this case, the hook may seem "downbeat" but it's very neutral, stating simple facts. On the other hand, "... that a terrible drone attack terrorized Tel Aviv?" would be unacceptable for its lack of neutrality. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 22:09, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi BeanieFan11, review follows: both articles created 29 July; sources look to be reliable enough (AGF on the Korean-language ones); articles are both cited inline throughout and well written; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing form the English language sources, AGF on the Korean ones; QPQs are pending; hook fact is interesting and mentioned in both articles. My only query is if it is right to refer to their Japanese opponents as "defending champions", Japan won it the last time round but with a different team. Perhaps "ranked second in the world" is better? I am not familiar with the sport so maybe the terminology is OK as it is? There might also be a length issue, I think the paragraph common to both articles can only count towards the length of one. Can one article be expanded a bit to compensate? - Dumelow (talk) 11:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Dumelow: QPQ 1 done; still have to do QPQ 2 and look into the wording issues, which I'll complete tomorrow. Could you point out where it is stated that the paragraph common to both articles can only count towards the length of one? BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:41, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi BeanieFan11; from Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines#Length: "Text that is not original does not count, including text copied from the public domain and from other Wikipedia articles" - Dumelow (talk) 20:11, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would re-wording the content in one article count? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems a bit gamey, I don't think much more is needed to take one over 1,500 characters of unique prose. Appreciate they're North Korean so sources will be sparse but is there nothing else that can be added? - Dumelow (talk) 19:18, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, not trying to be 'gamey', just that they're remarkably obscure. (Even Reuters, describing their background, could only note that "little information is available about them".) Reuters does mention that Kim is noted for an unusual paddle; I'll see if I can add something about that later today to get it over 1,500. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:56, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dumelow: Added a bit to Kim Kum-yong and I think it is over 1,500 now. Also completed the second QPQ. As for the wording, I think it is probably alright; the aforementioned Reuters piece stated As the lowest-ranked of 16 teams in the competition, they first knocked out defending Olympic champions Japan.

  • Starting review. On initial glance I feel the names section needs clean up. Inclusion of non-English vernacular names is a touchy subject with proponents both ways, so I won't outright say the section should be trimmed down. However, each name should not be an individual paragraph, as that's very close to shouting, especially with the bolding. Combining the single sentences into a paragraph will clean up the section and make it more legible.--Kevmin § 00:01, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • New enough, just long enough. QPQ done. I cannot see where the Caspian is mentioned in the first source. Some of the text seems somewhat closely paraphrased, eg. "In October 2020, he feared for his life and had no choice but to leave" into "In October 2020, Mahdavi was forced to leave Iran out of fear for his life". "felt lucky to arrive in Italy" seems a bit of editorialising. Potential copyedits may reduce this below the DYK limit, however the sources do cover a bit more information about the scholarship, that it pays for training and participation, and that the scholarship did not guarantee participation, so that could be added to slightly lengthen the Olympics section. The plans to move to Moldova to continue wrestling could also be added during copyediting. Good work overall on tracking down the sources though, I wasn't able to find anything else significant in a quick look.
    On the hooks, ALT1 is a bit boring (and one of the sources does say it was common in the community, not just with his father, so that might also be included). ALT0 is an interesting premise, but probably needs to be rephrased slightly. "...as a refugee boarded a plane in Turkey without knowing the destination..." or similar. Probably also worth mentioning he is an olympian in the hook if there is space? CMD (talk) 03:00, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis: Hey—I really appreciate the in-depth feedback!
  • Fixed the sourcing issue; the Caspian Sea specifically is mentioned here.
  • I've attempted to fix the close paraphrasing as you mentioned. (I decided to directly quote, "Luckily for me, it was Italy," to keep that info in there.)
  • I added a bit more about Mahdavi's future plans and the refugee scholarships (including using a new Olympics.com article on Mahdavi).
  • I intentionally left ALT0 vague to draw people in, but I understand if you think I made it too vague. Suggesting the following alt hooks:
  • ALT0a: ... that as a refugee Iman Mahdavi boarded a plane in Turkey, when he didn't know it would fly to Italy?
  • ALT0b: ... that as a refugee Iman Mahdavi boarded a plane in Turkey, when he didn't know its destination?
  • Also suggesting the following alt with new info I found on that Olympics.com article (legitimately feel free to tell me it's not particularly interesting—I'm not sure):
Thanks again for the review! Let me know how else I can improve here. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 03:42, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that's the lucky quote fixed and that paraphrasing. I am less familiar with standard around foreign language paraphrasing, but I would reword the walking on foot sentence as well to be sure. Thanks for explaining ALT0, will leave that for the promoter to decide then. However, for ALT0a and ALT0b, he wasn't an olympic athelete at the time right? ALT2 looks nice as well.

  • This is a neat fact, I'll jump on this. Article is new and long enough, and QPQ is met. Reuters is a reliable source and the primary proposed hook is obviously uncontroversial. The first hook is definitely the most direct and interesting, though personally I'd word it in a more attention-grabbing way such as "...that there is a Japanese girl group that performs North Korean pop songs?", stating it less as a fact and more as an anecdote. Not a dealbreaker if you prefer it as is though, the hook is perfectly acceptable. My main concern is with the article itself. While it's mostly presentable, seems copyright free, and has adequate sourcing, I'm concerned about the accuracy of its framing of the topic. It calls them a girl group and states they do musical performances of Korean pop. However, most sources (both utilized and other general google results) appear to call them a fan club, and I can only find any reference to them doing dance, not singing. The Reuters sources cited for them performing music has a lot of photos where they appear to be dancing without any apparent microphones, and again calls them a fan club who are dancing. This also seems more consistent with their undefined scope of membership. If they are not in fact a musical act, this is a major flaw in the article and the hook, which directly touches on them as a pop act. Do you have any sources that confirm they do any singing and are considered to be a girl group? LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 05:16, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that a researcher called the community on short-lived collaborative writing website One Million Monkeys Typing "astonishingly harmonious"?
  • Source: Klaiber 2014: "Netiquette styles vary considerably from platform to platform: while the social aesthetics of OMM prove astonishingly harmonious, Protagonize, for instance, seems to allow for more direct critique of creative work."
  • Source: Wilkinson 2008 (offline): "as of today [July 2008 when the article was published], there are over 600 monkeys."

  • Article is newly promoted to GA status and long enough. The article is written neutrally, well-sourced, presentable, and BLP-compliant. Earwig detects no plagiarism. The hooks are both cited and interesting, with ALT1 feeling hookier. QPQ has been done. Well done. gobonobo + c 01:26, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: I think hook 2 is more interesting here, correct me if I'm wrong, but a live opera seems normal to me, and hook 1 seems a bit too complicated for normal readers. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 11:32, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - y x - the phrase "is" in the hook is not supported by the ref, as the ref is nearly 8 years old
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hook problem is also a problem within the text of the article. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:C90F:5F27:BE03:9B87 (talk) 18:16, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 8 November 2016 source says: "Fantasy: Luxor. In its 17th year, Fantasy is the longest-running topless show in Vegas to remain in one location." This 6 March 2023 article says, "Currently the longest-running female revue production on the Las Vegas Strip, the show has been rolling through performances at the Luxor for more than 23 years". This 1 July 2024 article verifies that Fantasy is still performed at the Luxor. Cunard (talk) 21:34, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks - the second ref, added to the first, does it for me.2603:7000:2101:AA00:C90F:5F27:BE03:9B87 (talk) 22:54, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
