The main page states: "Did you know ... From Wikipedia's newest articles:" How do we determine those newest articles? That's a long story, but remember the intent is to select Wikipedia's newest articles, and articles that aren't new at all are never selected.
- M2: For purposes of DYK, a "new" article is no more than five days old when nominated (well, not exactly). This does not include articles split from older articles.
- M3: For purposes of DYK, 80% new is enough to be considered "new". To add enough new material to make an article 80% new is called fivefold expansion, because four-fifths is 80%.
- M4: Try to pick articles that are original to Wikipedia (not inclusions of free data sources) and interesting to a wide audience.
- M5: Articles that have appeared on the main page's In the News section are not eligible, nor are items that have been on DYK before (pre-expansion, for example).
