  • Reviewed:
  • Comment: The hook gains its interest as an example of nominative determinism. If you think a different hook would be better, let me know.

  • ALT0a: ... that David W. Music has taught, composed, conducted and written about music?
  • Approved: Article is new enough, long enough, well-cited, presentable, and with no policy issues detected. QPQ waived. Hook is formatted and of good length. Hook fact cited in article (will assume that when he "led" a Sacred Harp sing ["directed" in source] this is equivalent to "conducting"). This is roughly verifiable from the summary preview of the subscription-required online source. Hook is interesting. Could probably do an alternate about the nominative determinism, but for non-April Fools, I don't think it'd be any more interesting than ALT0 which is excellent. I put up ALT0a just so the promoter can see them side-by-side, I think the slight repetition of phrasing in ALT0 (while less concise) makes for a better hook. All good! – Reidgreg (talk) 02:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I'm an IP user so I think I can't approve the overall DYK, but just a heads up that I'm a Korean speaker and I verified that both hook 1 and ALT1 are supported by the sources given. I'll give a slight comment that I'd prefer ALT1 be worded as "... that Ryu Sung-hyun (pictured) will become the first Korea National Sport University student athlete to compete at two Olympic Games?" Think the meaning of this is slightly clearer and it's slightly more concise. I prefer the main hook to ALT1 though; think it's more interesting. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 07:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your input. I have changed the wording on ALT1. I was trying to figure out how to emphasize that he is competing in two Olympics while enrolled in the school- there are multiple alumni who have competed in multiple Olympics. -Riley1012 (talk) 12:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: hooks that treat the future as definite are problematic. I'm assuming Ryu Sung-hyun has qualified for the Olympics, but even athletes on their country's Olympic teams sometimes don't end up competing due to injury, illness, accident, or some other complication, so "will" is a problem (see WP:CRYSTAL). Perhaps "is set to become" could be used (though, like the IP user, I prefer the original hook):
    Note that if you want the Olympics in the original hook, you can do so simply by adding "Olympian" before his name. —BlueMoonset (talk) 04:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, that is totally fair. I've incorporated both of your suggestions. -Riley1012 (talk) 10:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Later in that episode, there’s a great gag for film students: “I thought that was non-diegetic…”

      Oh, thank you. Thank you for getting that joke because, there are plenty of people on the production team I had to explain that too. (laughs) And then you get people who don’t understand the joke and they go, “Can we cut it?”

  • The article is sourced. I did two spot checks and the references checked out.
  • The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone.
  • Earwig did not pick up anything noteworthy.
  • QPQ done.
  • Hook review: I think the original hook is the best one and it is ODNB sourced and thus viable. I nevertheless have small questions:
    • In my opinion "earl of Bamburgh" should be wikilinked. Probably to Rulers of Bamburgh (even though Earl of Bamburgh redirects to Earl of Northumbria [is this a redirection mistake, I am not knowledgeable here]?)
    • The flow of the wording might be improved: What do you think about "... that Uhtred became earl of Bamburgh after his victory at the siege of Durham, even though his father seems to have still been living?"
    • "his father" should probably also be wikilinked to Waltheof of Bamburgh - what do you think?
    • Thanks for creating free and interesting knowledge! I will approve this nomination once these small questions have been addressed! WatkynBassett (talk) 07:27, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Created Alt0a to address the above suggestions. I have no strong feelings about whether this is better than the original. The question about Earl of Northumbria vs Rulers of Bamburgh is a question I've no clear answer for. CSJJ104 (talk) 19:49, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at this again I notice Waltheof of Bamburgh is a stub. I'm unsure if this might be an issue for inclusion in the hook?
While I have no issue with whichever hook the promoter chooses when that point is reached I do like Alt2 as being distinct from the sort of hook which typically appears on DYK. CSJJ104 (talk) 20:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your work on the hook. In my experience many hooks with doubtful reliability are extensively discussed and often challenged at the promotion stage or even later when the sets are put together therefore, I did not pick the more unusual hook ALT2 (which has the qualifier "tradition"). I think ALT0a is fine and that a stub article is wikilinked is no issue at all. I approve hook ALT0a. WatkynBassett (talk) 05:25, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wonderful to see that this machine (with a great keyboard... at least it's no Sinclair 1000 eh?) be promoted to good article status. Earwig's is clean, was promoted to GA a few days ago. For the first hook, neither of the given sources say how long the computer was a bestseller for -- the BBC source only says The ZX Spectrum may have been Britain's best-selling computer. ―Panamitsu (talk) 09:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I did my own digging into the claim and found out that the Amstrad PCW actually outsold the ZX Spectrum some time in the 1990s (8 million units of the PCW across all models by at latest 1998 vs. 5 million units of the Spectrum across all units by 1992). In light of that, here's an alternative hook. Pinging @Panamitsu and Jaguar: DigitalIceAge (talk) 23:55, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • ALT0a: ... the ZX Spectrum (pictured) maintained the title of Britain's best-selling computer for over a decade? Source: Moran, Joe (28 August 2015). "Typewriter, you're fired! How writers learned to love the computer". The Guardian. p. 20. Archived from the original on September 6, 2015. Crookes, David (March 10, 2016). "Fancy a Fresh Slice of Pi?" (PDF). Micro Mart (1404). Dennis Publishing: 8–10, 12, 14, 16 – via the Internet Archive. ProQuest 1787168972.
        • @DigitalIceAge: I'm a bit puzzled with the given sources. The Guardian one doesn't appear to mention the ZX Spectrum at all; the Micro Mart appears to say with Raspberry Pi sales reporting, people forgot that the Amstrad PCW had outsold the ZX Spectrum; the Independent source talks the Pi rather than the ZX Spectrum. Am I completely overlooking something? ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:51, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Panamitsu: The Guardian source is there to establish that the PCW had surpassed the Spectrum in sales by the time of the PCW's discontinuation in 1998. The Micro Mart is there to establish explicitly that the PCW outsold the Spectrum. The Independent source is... pretty much redundant, so I've removed it. I think this shouldn't fall afoul of WP:SYNTH, as WP:CALC allows us to do routine calculations like numerical comparisons. If this is too SYNTH-y, though, I'm not opposed to other hooks. DigitalIceAge (talk) 08:14, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
            • @DigitalIceAge: Honestly this is too SYNTH-y for my liking. My interpretation of WP:CALC is more of something like "The 2016 Kaikōura earthquake occurred 6 years after the 2010 Canterbury earthquake." Anyway, I think it could have something to the effect of "is one of the best selling British computers", as it is brought up in the Raspberry Pi source, or we can have another hook. ―Panamitsu (talk) 11:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
              • @Panamitsu: That's fair. How about:
                • ALT0b: ... the ZX Spectrum (pictured) is one of the best-selling British computers of all time?

@Mariamnei: Did you mean to post a "maybe" status (purple slash) instead of an "again" status (red arrow)? The again status is for DYK that need another new reviewer, while the slash is for indicating that there is a concern with the article/nomination. Z1720 (talk) 23:27, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720: Hey there! This DYK overall looks pretty good, but since it's my first time doing a DYK review, I thought it'd be better to get another view. What do you think? Mariamnei (talk) 18:32, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mariamnei: Since you outlined some concerns above, I'll let the nominator, Owenglyndur, address them. Z1720 (talk) 19:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thank you for your comments and help to get the DYK right. I did not know i'm not allowed to copy some sentances from another Wikipedia article, especialy whemn it is so relevant for the article i wrote. I will not do it again in the future. Owenglyndur (talk) 07:18, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Owenglyndur:, thanks for explaining that! Awesome, I see the pic is up on the article too. Looks like we're good to go! Mariamnei (talk) 08:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reviewing this now. Nice GA~ Recently promoted, no need for QPQ. Earwig turns out fine. The hook is on history section. I duplicated the citation so that the hook is directly cited. Otherwise it's good to go Nyanardsan (talk) 03:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes

  • Other problems: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article was created on 22 May 2024. It has a readable prose size of 3211 characters. QPQ not yet done. WP:EARWIG shows now copyvios. More comments later.

Each paragraph has a source. Some parts of the lead and the section "Early life and education" sound very similar to the text in Moulton 1893, p. 722. This needs to be rewritten to avoid WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE. I didn't check the rest of the article so please make sure that the problem is not found in other parts as well. The hooks are interesting and supported by the source. Both hooks are too long: they should be below 200 characters and ideally below 160 characters. The picture is freely licenced, used in the article, and clear. Phlsph7 (talk) 13:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Phlsph7: thanks for your evaluation. Some parts of the lead and the section "Early life and education" sound very similar Because they are similar. I've used it as a source material, and "the article merely presents standard facts for a topic like this in standard sequence. The article does not copy any creative words or phrases, similes or metaphors." And a direct comparison with the Moulton source shows no violation. However, all of these becomes irrelevant here because the dictionary is in public domain and properly attributed in the source section. Regardless PD or not, the article does not closely paraphrase, rather presents standard facts in an orderly sequence. WP:LIMITED exists. Although redundant, I've now added a PD template as well in the ref section (which is usually done if it's a case of somewhat direct copy-paste, although this isn't the case here). Re the blurb's lentgh, while nominating I made sure they are under 200 characters. And yes shorter blurbs would be better. We may simply remove the "American educator" bits: ALT0b ... that Lois E. Trott (pictured) ran the first lodging house for homeless girls in America, providing shelter and support for over 1,000 girls annually, all without receiving any payment? ALT0c... that Lois E. Trott (pictured) ran the first lodging house for homeless girls in America, providing shelter and support without receiving any payment?

Let me know which one you prefer or if have your own opinion. Regards. X (talk) 07:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The template should solve the close-paraphrase problem. I wasn't aware that the phrase "(pictured)" does not count towards the character limit (per WP:DYK200), which means that the original hooks pass the test. I think all that remains is the QPQ. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I like the first DYK idea, especially how the studio forced a protest to bring attention to the movie. It's also reasonably sourced. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 14:04, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Approved ALT0, ALT1: Article is new enough (nominated the day it became a GA), long enough, well-cited to reliable sources, presentable, and with no policy issues detected (a relatively high Earwig score due to quotes from interviews, reviews, and soundtrack lists). QPQ waived. Hooks are formatted, of good length, cited in article and interesting (verified source for ALT1, AGF for offline source for ALT0). Good work! – Reidgreg (talk) 20:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • BTW, the two non-bolded articles in ALT1, Richard Linklater and ZZ Top, have refimprove tags... it'd be nice if those were addressed before this ran, though it is not a requirement. – Reidgreg (talk) 20:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • AGF on the source for ALT0, which I do not have access to. However, it is cited within the article which is good.

  • New to DYK. Article looks fine but the hook is a bit awkward - maybe try ...that "NewJeansNim," a DJ[ing] monk, was credited with reviving interest in Buddhism among South Korean youth[s]? (Bracketed parts are ones I might add or remove.) Also the guy's nickname is NewJeansNim (not NewJeanNim) and the article uses his real name as the title (though I've seen a fair amount of DYKs that were TV Tropes-style potholed).

Since I am taking the Clough & Associates reference on good faith (I had problems accessing it on my browser) I would rather stick with ALT0.
