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

How to list a new nomination

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. Don't forget to fill out the rollover text, so people know what the image is of! 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}}
  • If a reviewer finds problem(s) that require that an issue be addressed, notify the nominator with {{DYKproblem}}.

How to review a nomination

Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets all the DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, or may suggest new hooks.

If you want to confirm that an article is ready to be placed on a later update, or note 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 that 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.

Mary Rose

The Mary Rose as depicted in the Anthony Roll

  • Comment: This DYK request is being made to coincide with a press release about an image donation from the Mary Rose Trust on January 3. It would therefore be beneficial if this could be dedicate a slot either on Jan 3 or 4, preferably during daytime CET. Not sure which would be better, but the latter would probably generate more hits. The proposed image is only a preliminary suggestion. One of the donated images will be presented as an alternative once it has been uploaded, which will probably be Jan 2. Peter Isotalo 14:10, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Jim101 (talk). Self nom at 22:42, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Both hook references check out at Google books, with authors Alexander and Malkasian affirming longest American retreat. Article length and date okay. About the hook itself—why doesn't the 800-mile retreat of the Confederate forces under Scurry during the Battle of Glorieta Pass count as the longest in American military history? Binksternet (talk) 09:38, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe this alternate version would work for you. If so, it works for me!

Little Zigzag River

Created by Finetooth (talk). Self nom at 21:58, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Zigzag Canyon, Mount Hood, Zigzag Glacier, the Zigzag River, Little Zigzag Canyon, Zigzag Mountain, and the community of Zigzag can all be verified by viewing the topo maps of citation 5. Citation 6 verifies that Little Zigzag River and Little Zigzag Falls are real geographic entities that are actually named as claimed. Finetooth (talk) 21:58, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Original hook is 237 characters (should be <200). An ALT1 below is 217. A possible solution is to create/expand an article or two on other Zigzags. Materialscientist (talk) 07:32, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Date and length are fine, but most of the article is unreferenced (we ask at least one ref. per paragraph) and many references are not in-lined or bare urls (ask at my talk if this is unclear). Reference 7, which supports the hook, doesn't lead to a certain article. Materialscientist (talk) 11:29, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have beefed up the references and added the specific reference for the hook. However the format of the page doesn't seem to be fully recognised in Wikipedia, so a direct doesn't work. That's presumably why de.wiki only linked to the landing page on which the actual reference can be clicked. Is there a way around this, other than quoting the reference without a direct link? Thanks. --Bermicourt (talk) 13:42, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The list itself is not counted, which leaves a 76 character article, way short of 1500.

Thanks, it would be a reasonable hook if the sources and article were literally correct - he started playing for the club at 15, thus we can't say he hadn't played football before. The article and source actually say something like parents won't let him having his own ball, but tells nothing about him playing (having a proper personal football was luxury then, I guess).

ALT2 ... that former Spanish-Argentine footballer and manager Juan Carlos Touriño's parents wouldn't let him have his own football until he was 15?
I feel sorry for your good-faith efforts, but the problem lies in the reference - the subject says that the parents didn't let him play football (or have a football), but doesn't say until when, and the next sentence says he started playing for a club at the age of 15. This obliterates both alts. Materialscientist (talk) 00:06, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
