Recently, due to a considerably large amount of DYK submissions and differing views on a particular criteria for exclusion, a discussion has begun regarding ways to alleviate these issues, located in the [[Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Clarification for "real-world context" in DYK rules|Discussion page of DYK]]. Currently, the time DYK's appear on the main page has been reduced from 6 hours to 4 hours, and I believe at one point there were 9 DYK's in the main page box (please remove if this was not true). Solutions have ranged from the method to counting the character count for a new article (which is currently 1500), filtering out "boring" hooks, imposing stricter limitations on the use of fiction-related articles, as well as some others. It seems nothing has been definitively decided at this point, and as a larger group (as some Wikiprojects these changes would affect may have been asked to give input) discusses these issues, I believe we needed to move the conversation out of the talk page and into a larger area, as well as receive input from users who are not working the DYK switches. - [[User:Theornamentalist|Theornamentalist]] ([[User talk:Theornamentalist|talk]]) 05:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC) |

DYK Nomination Criteria
Recently, due to a considerably large amount of DYK submissions and differing views on a particular criteria for exclusion, a discussion has begun regarding ways to alleviate these issues, located in the Discussion page of DYK. Currently, the time DYK's appear on the main page has been reduced from 6 hours to 4 hours, and I believe at one point there were 9 DYK's in the main page box (please remove if this was not true). Solutions have ranged from the method to counting the character count for a new article (which is currently 1500), filtering out "boring" hooks, imposing stricter limitations on the use of fiction-related articles, as well as some others. It seems nothing has been definitively decided at this point, and as a larger group (as some Wikiprojects these changes would affect may have been asked to give input) discusses these issues, I believe we needed to move the conversation out of the talk page and into a larger area, as well as receive input from users who are not working the DYK switches. - Theornamentalist (talk) 05:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
