Instructions

Using a DYK suggestion string (see below examples), list new suggestions in the candidate entries section below under the date the article was created or the expansion began (not the date you submit it here), with the newest dates at the top. Any user may nominate a DYK suggestion; self-nominations are permitted and encouraged. Thanks for participating and please remember to check back for comments on your nomination.

DYK criteria

Official criteria: DYK rules and additional guidelines
Unofficial Guide: Learning DYK

Sample DYK suggestion strings

Please use one of the strings below to post your DYK nomination, using the "author" and "nominator" fields to identify the users who should receive credit for their contributions if the hook is featured on the main page.

  1. Nom without image: {{subst:NewDYKnom | article= | hook=... that ? | author= }}
  2. Nom with image: {{subst:NewDYKnom | article= | hook=... that ? | author= | image= | caption= }}
    To include more than one new or expanded article in a single hook: |article2= |article3= |article4= | (etc)
    To include more than one author: |author2= |author3= | (etc)
    To include alternate hooks: |ALT1= |ALT2= | (etc)
    To add a comment: |comment=
    To add the article you reviewed: |reviewed=

Do not wikilink the article title, or the author username field; the template will wikilink them automatically. Do wikilink the article title in the hook field, however.
Do not add a section heading if you are using the template; the template will add one for you.
Do not include a signature (~~~~) after the template.
Do not use non-free images in your hook suggestion.

An example of how to use the template is given below. Full details are at {{NewDYKnom}}:

{{subst:NewDYKnom
 | article       = Example
 | status        = new<!--(or) expanded-->
 | hook          = ... that this [[article]] is an '''[[example]]''' ''(pictured)''?
 | author        = User
 | nominator     =
 | image         = Example.png
 | rollover      = An example image
 | comment       =
}}
  • Note that you should only use one of the above templates for the original hook. If you want to suggest a second, alternative hook for the same article submission, just type it in manually. The above templates output useful code for each submission and if you employ them for alternative hooks, you will mess up the page formatting.
  • When saving your suggestion, please add the name of the suggested article to your edit summary.
  • Please check back for comments on your nomination. Responding to reasonable objections will help ensure that your article is listed.
  • If you nominate someone else's article, you can use {{subst:DYKNom}} to notify them. Usage: {{subst:DYKNom|Article name|November 10}} Thanks, ~~~~

Symbols

If you want to confirm that an article is ready to be placed on a later update, or that there is an issue with the article or hook, you may use the following symbols (optional) to point the issues out:

Symbol Code DYK Ready? Description
{{subst:DYKtick}} Yes No problems, ready for DYK
{{subst:DYKtickAGF}} Yes Article is ready for DYK, with a foreign-language or offline hook reference accepted in good faith
{{subst:DYK?}} Query DYK eligibility requires that an issue be addressed. Notify nominator with {{subst:DYKproblem|Article}}
{{subst:DYK?no}} Maybe DYK eligibility requires additional work. Notify nominator with {{subst:DYKproblem|Article}}
{{subst:DYKno}} No Article is either completely ineligible, or else requires considerable work before becoming eligible

Please consider using {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page, in case they do not notice if there is an issue.

Backlogged?

This page often seems to be backlogged. If the DYK template has not been updated for substantially more than 6 hours, it may be useful to attract the attention of one of the administrators who regularly updates the template. See the page Wikipedia:Did you know/Admins for a list of administrators who have volunteered to help with this project.

Where is my hook?

If you can't find the hook you submitted to this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is in the queue for display on the main page. You can check whether your hook has been moved to the queue by reviewing the queue listings.

If your hook is not in the queue or already on the main page, it has probably been deleted. Deletion occurs if the hook is more than about eight days old and has unresolved issues for which any discussion has gone stale. If you think your hook has been unfairly deleted, you can query its deletion on the discussion page, but as a general rule deleted hooks will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

  • The two sources used for this article are a problem. The first one (from which the bulk of the information is taken), sikhmuseum.com, has no information about itself online to give us an idea of how reliable they are. The second one is a wiki. We do not use other wikis, since they include user-generated content that is not fact checked. Awadewit (talk) 15:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are problems with this article's sources. IMDB is being used to source the biography of the filmmaker. We don't used IMDB because it consists of user-generated content. I noticed also that another source is a link to a page through Google translator. We don't rely on Google translator because it makes so many mistakes. If you don't know a language, it is best not to use sources in that language. Awadewit (talk) 16:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Length and hook verified. I'm personally not a fan of audio (or video for that matter) sources for articles but I don't know that such is a disqualifier. As I never use them in article writing, I'm not sure the best way to cite them, but I'd sure like to see the citation indicate that the listener would be interested in listening at 3:15 into the podcast.  Frank  |  talk  08:05, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for taking the time to listen to that. The thing is that the podcast is used to cite three different facts in the article, so it's tricky to name specific times. —97198 (talk) 13:22, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

David P. Cooley

  • Length and dates are fine but this hook cannot stand. This man was a decorated Lt.Colonel in the US Air Force, a top test pilot, and he was killed in the service of his country (albeit while testing jets for a private company) barely two months ago. The best hook we can come up with is the size of the debris field from the crash that took his life? And for Memorial Day weekend? Not just "no" but "heck no". Also, the hook isn't really about him. Nice article but it needs a new hook. - Dravecky (talk) 09:56, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ashcroft v. Iqbal

<The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York

  • ... that in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Ashcroft v. Iqbal, a prisoner sued Brooklyn prison guards for allegedly intentionally turning on air conditioning during the winter and heating during the summer?

5x expanded by Cdogsimmons (talk). Self nom at 04:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that trivializes his claim, which also alleged guards "picked him up and threw him against the wall, kicked him in the stomach, punched him in the face, and dragged him across the room". It is the sort of thing that Rush Limbaugh might say in his "Club Gitmo" spots. Come on.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:28, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yikes! Compared to Rush Limbaugh. I was trying to find something that people would find interesting about the case that might draw them to reading the rest of the article. But you're right. The way I phrased the hook may have minimized the seriousness of those allegations (not that freezing someone in the winter, and boiling them in the summer is a small issue). My apologies in any case. I've found that using the holding of a legal case can be a difficult proposition due to the fact that it's usually rather lengthy. Also, because this case is still being developed, (SCOTUS remanded for the facts in the case to be possibly more developed, and for less conclusory allegations to be used), stating the holding as the hook might not attract people as much as an obscure fact from the case. I thought that simply stating that John Ashcroft and Robert Mueller were sued by somebody isn't really as surprising or interesting as what they were being sued for. In any case, I think ALT1 below is adequate. I'll throw out another suggestion.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 18:08, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • ALT1: ... that in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Ashcroft v. Iqbal, a prisoner sued Federal prison guards and their superiors alleging physical abuse?
  • ALT2: ... that John Ashcroft and Robert Mueller III were sued in the case of Ashcroft v. Iqbal for the creation and use of a policy that allegedly led to physical abuse of prisoners in New York City?

Comment: Could you define "significantly" in relation to this topic and the meaning of "with an article that large, a 5x prose expansion seems unlikely to happen"? Lwalt ♦ talk 15:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the last 7 days, this article has been expanded from 8712 to 11842 bytes of prose, or a a bit shy of 1.4x expansion. To qualify as "new" content, the article needs to have been expanded by 5x in the last 5 days. In this article's case, that would be to 43560 bytes of prose and expansion on that scale (nearly quadrupling the current length) seems very unlikely, indeed. - Dravecky (talk) 23:43, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a well referenced article, though, that I think is still appropriate for the main page. How about ALT ... that Virendra Rastogi's company, RBG Resources, collapsed after incriminating documents were faxed to the wrong number?

Specific reference is found in text-box "below" picture of Circus painting so reader must scroll-down below picture to find it. Source says: "In 1918 he (Sisti) was a Golden Gloves bantamweight champion...". Believe Burchfield-Penney Art Center is that is pretty good source since it is affiliated with Buffalo State College.

  • I thought the incredibly rare move of a licensed radio station 600 miles north across four states was pretty darned interesting on its own. Usually it's a big deal when the station's community of license moves from one side of a county to the other and on very rare occasions it will cross a state line but to move a station this far, across all those borders? I can't say it's unprecedented but, like one woman giving birth to eight kids at one time, it's fantastically uncommon. - Dravecky (talk) 13:53, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so rare. Perhaps we could include something in the hook about it being so rare? "For the first time X years, the FCC has..." - that sort of thing? Awadewit (talk) 14:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand but the problem with this kind of long-distance move-in being so rare (once every couple of years, and it's a fairly new phenomenon) is that I'm having trouble finding a reliable source that concisely explains just how unusual a move like this really is. The last "big" move-in like this, from Anniston, Alabama, to Atlanta, Georgia (and that was "only" 90 miles!) got plenty of industry trade coverage for its launch and its decade-plus legal struggle but none of the reports spend any time reminding people just how unusual this is in so many words since they would rightly expect their specialized audience to know this already. Without solid sourcing I can't put it in the article (and I haven't) and if it's not in the article I can't put it in the hook but I believe that enough people will think "Alabama to Indiana? how odd!" to draw people in to the article. - Dravecky (talk) 19:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does the FCC itself have any kind of list of unusual facts? (This may be impossible to find, but it would be nice to find it, because it would make the hook so much more interesting to the average Jane like myself.) Awadewit (talk) 16:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does the FCC have a page as cool as the CIA's Kids Page? No, sadly, they do not. Pages like this one are more the FCC's idea of a good time. I still think the "Alabama to Indiana" move is enough 'wow' factor and if folks are curious enough, they might even do something crazy like click on the WGYV link to learn more. - Dravecky (talk) 18:10, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Therefore, articles which include unexpanded headers are likely to be rejected"- I'm hesitant to pass this article for DYK whilst sections remain empty with just titles at the time of writing, as well as with an underconstruction tag.

I'd oppose any variant of "first modern coffee house", which is a highly dubious claim, cited only to the extremely unreliable source of a user-generated page on Knol.

Ah, I've split the double-ref into two individual refs for clarity. However, the article still generally lacks inline citations and can't be promoted until the article is so cited. - Dravecky (talk) 06:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh really - seems covered by Subject-specific common knowledge, if not common general knowledge, to me. There is little point in adding more commercial links, & the subject is too banal for much else to exist - it doesn't help that "diary" has other meanings. You are welcome to add "fact" tags. I didn't know we "promoted" articles here. Johnbod (talk) 09:15, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Per the DYK Rules, "The fact should have an inline citation, and the article in general should use inline, cited sources." I note your objection to the shorthand word "promoted" so let me be more clear: unless and until the article complies with the rules for DYK it will not be approved to be moved into a DYK queue with seven other hooks that will in its turn appear on the Main Page. DYK has more specific requirements in certain areas than perhaps other parts of the encyclopedia but that's because these hooks are destined for the Main Page and thus must meet a certain basic standard for length and citation. - Dravecky (talk) 10:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The article does "use inline, cited sources", but as explained above, there are not many references, due to most of the article being common knowledge, too much so for there to be many RSs on the subject. Repeated cites to the commercial site referenced, or other ones, could be provided for every line, but this would not help the reader, and is not demanded by either general or DYK policy. I believe the article fully meets WP:V, and the DYK requirement is qualitative not quantitative. Additionally, the commercial websites for products that change annually are naturally not stable, so these references would be likely to soon become outdated - in about 3 months for calendar year diaries I would imagine. If there are particular points you think need referencing, please indicate them or add tags. I am well aware of the DYK rules, thank you, having done over 100 of them. Johnbod (talk) 14:00, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As the recipient of the very first DYK medal I confirm that the page complies with the rules. After more than 200 DYKs (as of 2006) the updaters started to ignore my suggestions as well (see below :) --Ghirla-трёп- 14:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
