Those errors...

Date Section Article Notes Resolved
21 October 2018 DYK Caption Just "May'n performing in 2014" will do fine. Concision! Yes
Hijabophobia Not only is the lead tagged, but other dispute tags are in there, such as [when?][who?] and [speculation]. This kind of subject matter needs a decent article to carry it on the main page, and right now, this is not it. Pulled
Theodosia Burr Shepherd Boring hook, especially when you can get something like "... that the American horticulturalist Theodosia Burr Shepherd was known as the "Flower Wizard of California"? Since we don't even have an article on the "California seed industry", it's unlikely that many of us care about which person founded the company which allegedly founded the non-notable industry... No
Theater Bremen Another QPQ fail, a section predominantly unreferenced, and a sprinkling of other [citation needed] to be resolved before this could satisfactorily pass QPQ and go the main page. From previous discussions, relying on the unverifiable German Wikipedia and the equally unverifiable Wikidata to reference these claims is also completely unacceptable.
All fixed, I think, and always happy to increase your statistics ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:05, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
I'd rather not keep seeing articles being passed at QPQ which fail fundamental requirements of DYK. Those promoting should be notified and prevented from doing so in the future.
 Yes
Adam Marshall (priest) Article and lead make it very clear that this was "unofficial" and that's an important distinction when talking about positions within the services. Yes
OTD Saint Pierre and Miquelon No mention in the article of the explorer naming them "Islands of the 11,000 Virgins".
USS Constitution normally appears on July 20. I copied the factoid with a reference from the History of Saint Pierre and Miquelon article to this one and restored the blurb. —howcheng {chat} 12:16, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
 Replaced with USS Constitution

Yes

Florence Nightingale 15 nuns were sent too, and given the ratio of nurses to nuns, that's quite important. Yes
Rudolph Valentino "wildly successful"? Tone, this is an encyclopdia. This phrase isn't even mentioned in the target article. Oh, and a lot of the later sections need serious work in referencing, I haven't tagged (yet) but I should. Replaced with WWII.
Disappearance of Frederick Valentich "Cessna 182L" is a pipe to a redirect Yes
ITN Amritsar train incident Target article has been moved Nope
22 October 2018 DYK Working Definition of Antisemitism Promoted with bare URLs (QPQ fail) and some references which are simply incorrect. I started to fix some but ran out of energy, this kind of basic thing should have been fixed prior to, or during, DYK nomination.
