DYK for Oxford (toy company)

On 25 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Oxford (toy company), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Korean brick toys, colloquially called "Korean Lego", often feature themes of "war and danger", including sets such as military vehicles? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Oxford (toy company). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Oxford (toy company)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I'm glad that the hook wasn't pulled. The reasoning was nonsense. SL93 (talk) 01:00, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@SL93 Indeed. As a DYK regular with 10+ years of experience, I am a bit concerned about recent happenings - this year I've had several near-close pulls or such, which is much more than in the past years. Either my standards are slipping or DYK standards (or some folks approach to enforcing them?) are raising too high (IMHO). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Random pl.wiki question

Hi Piotrus, perhaps you can help me with this. I've noticed that the Polish Wikipedia is, together with the Italian one, one of the few that doesn't have categories on women: e.g., Women writers, Women politicians, Women scientists, etc. Their category:Women by occupation (Kobiety według profesji) is a bit more developed than the Italian one, but quite similar in concept. The Italians have housewives and female prostitutes, and are the only WMF project to have female heiresses and Female guards in Nazi concentration camps as categories; both the Italian and Polish Wikipedia have Princesses and Queens. Categorisation has recently been the subject of an impressive academic study in Catalan and I myself have written something about it for my blog. So my request is this - could you point me to any discussions about this on the Polish Wikipedia? On it.wiki, the subject was discussed extensively between 2016 and 2021, I have reviewed those discussions and am now curious about the Polish ones. Thanks, Gitz (talk) (contribs) 09:50, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@Gitz6666 Do give me a few days to get back to you as I am about to be afk for a few days. For now, you may want to take a look at discussions linked from here: [1]. I am not familiar with this cateogry so I'd have to ask. Any chance you are coming to Wikimania, btw?

PS. Isn't this just a interwiki missing issue? Category:Female guards in Nazi concentration camps (and 10 iwikis) - missing connection to it:Categoria:Guardie donne nei campi di concentramento nazisti? And for the heiresses, Category:Female heirs apparent (I am just not sure about the word 'apparent' here)? Sometimes lack of connected category means just lack of connection, not lack of category. I've added iwiki to quite a few pl wiki categories that nobody there bothered to connect, and I am sure there are others that need that. That said, I know there are also both major gaps in pl wiki category coverage (ex. random example, most categories related to location of ficitonal works) and stuff that doesn't exist on en wiki (a ton of stuff related to pl history, etc.). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:40, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Dear Piotrus, there is absolutely no hurry. It's mainly a curiosity of mine and definitely not urgent.

Re "Category:Female guards in Nazi concentration camps" - well spotted, this needs to fixed on it.wiki.

Re "Category:Female heirs apparent" - no, I think this is actually different. The Italian category does not include aristocrats but rather "heiresses" like Paris Hilton, Christina Onassis, Ivanka Trump, etc., that is, women who were born into a rich family. I don't know why, but there is no male counterpart.

As for Wikimania, I won't be there in person, but I plan to attend some of the virtual events. Are you involved in organising it or will you be there? Gitz (talk) (contribs) 14:23, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
