DYK for Draft Eisenhower movement

On 14 October 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Draft Eisenhower movement, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the famous campaign slogan "I Like Ike" was associated with the 1952 Draft Eisenhower movement? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Draft Eisenhower movement. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Draft Eisenhower movement), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Prep sets at DYK

Hi, Kavyansh.Singh! Thanks for your hard work helping build the prep sets at DYK—it took me quite a bit to get the hang of it, so I hope you don't mind if I offer some advice as you go.

First, excellent job on balancing the prep sets (i'll be focusing on prep set 4 for this one)—four U.S. hooks and two biographies is within the current limits (the upper limits for both are 3 or 4 U.S. and/or bio hooks for prep set, but sometimes there will be extra limits that you can find on the talk page because we run shortages). The hooks are from diverse topics, the image is good—overall, awesome work! When building prep sets, you generally want to try to keep hooks from the same country apart—so you don't want two U.S. hooks next to each other, and you also don't want two bio hooks next to each other. Also, the nomination page is sorted in chronological order—so if you can pull hooks from closer to the top for a few, it helps the nominators who have been waiting for promotion for a while.

That's all I've got for now—I really appreciate your getting involved! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message at my talk page. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 16:54, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron – Thanks a lot for your note, I really appreciate it I really do!. Mechitzaing the hooks is something which I usually miss, but thanks for taking care of it. Will try to include more hooks from older nomination. Thanks for being kind enough to help! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:07, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK format

Just wanted to let you know that while it’s great to see more folks working DYK, I have over 60 DYK contributions and it’s kind of bad form to go in and make edits of someone’s hook beyond fixing typos and other very superficial tweaks. While I am willing to let the reviewer discuss whether a birth-death listing is appropriate, Earl Old Person died less than a week ago and they haven’t even held his funeral yet, so noting he died recently is going to be relevant. Montanabw^(talk) 22:02, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Montanabw – Thanks for being kind enough to drop a message here, and thanks for assuming my edit in good faith!. I'll surely leave it to the reviewer to decide whether birth-death listing is appropriate, but I do want to note that listing it as "1929–2021" isn't helpful. Till 2021 means from January 1 till the date when the hook would be on the main page. I guess, million of people died in those 10 months. Death of Earl Old Person may be notable, but his death in 2021 is not that notable, and that was the primary reason I removed it. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 06:19, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It’s a debatable point. What’s notable was his longevity, both in office and that he was pretty active his entire life, hence the age note… maybe subtle, but I guess we’ll see. Thanks for your thoughts. Montanabw^(talk) 06:57, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, now you can see what happens when someone hasn’t done a DYK for a couple years—sorry for screwing up the syntax. I used to do prep sets, so I really did know better than to make that mistake. Arrgh. By the way, good work on that LaFollette article, …DYK that Montana’s Burton K. Wheeler was his running mate on the progressive ticket in 1924? And also DYK that they pulled the largest third party vote in history up to that time, not to be surpassed until Ross Perot in 1992? Montanabw^(talk) 05:31, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Montanabw – No issues, and thanks for "Fighting Bob". They pulled out 16.6% of the popular vote, which I have indeed included as a hook in its DYK nomination. After all, La Follette was the only candidate in the 1924 election to offer different views. Both Coolidge and Davis had almost same view... Also, DYK that La Follette was selected by the John F. Kennedy senate committee as one of the 5 senators form entire history to be listed in the senatorial "hall of fame"? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 05:44, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fascinating fellow. If you like working on these articles, Wheeler’s could be improved. There’s a solid new biography of him that just came out, though I haven’t read it yet . I’m not around WP a ton, but I’d be glad to do at least some minor work on such a project. Montanabw^(talk) 06:47, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nice idea, will see what I can do. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 07:35, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of Daisy (advertisement)

Congratulations, Kavyansh.Singh! The article you nominated, Daisy (advertisement), has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:06, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! I know you've put a lot of work into this: it's great to see such an interesting and important article promoted! Any plans for when it'll be making its main page appearance? (Sept. 7 would be best, but that's a long wait.) Anyways, great job as always: it always amazes me how much high-quality work you're able to get done. Cheers, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:30, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, @Extraordinary Writ, this one is definitely the most interesting article I expanded! I'm grateful for all your help, during this review, and all previous peer reviews. And congratulations for Chief Justice Fuller! I promise that if I ever write any Supreme Court Justice biography, first one will be William O. Douglas What really amazed me was that when Lyndon B. Johnson 1964 presidential campaign was on the main page under Did you know? section as the bold link, it received a grand total of around 3,500 page views. Surprisingly, the "Daisy" article, which wasn't even boldfaced received around 16,000 page views (4.5 times more)! So ... I do want to see it on the main page again. Either on September 7, 2024 (60th anniversary of the 60 second ad), or on the 2024 Election night. Have to wait long for either of them... so have decided to better go for Sept 7 the next year. Thanks again! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 07:23, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! I'd give you Precious for it but - I just did that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:36, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt – Thanks a lot! I really appreciate all that you are doing for music articles on DYK and elsewhere! I'm trying to do my part by reviewing a few of them. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 07:23, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and for reviewing. I believe the article could run any day, so if you like I could nominate it without day request, - how is that? If you want to go for September 7, you can enter it now on WP:TFARP, - so far only requests for Septeber 1 and 4. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:28, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt – Lets go for September 7 the next year, rather than waiting till 2024. I've added it to WP:TFARP. I don't wish to see it on the main page this year any soon, as it has already been under DYK with the video 2 times! Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 07:46, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quirky hooks

Hey, Kavyansh.Singh! First, congrats on the FA—that's really awesome, and it looks like you put a lot of work into it! I did want to tell you something you might not have caught about prep building, too. There's a bit of a tradition/rule/thing that the last hook in every prep set should be quirky, or funny, or hopefully at least puzzling. My favourite quirky hook (and perhaps my favourite hook of all time), is this one: (Did you know...)

... that the manufacturers of Hedgehog Flavour Crisps were taken to court under the Trade Descriptions Act as they did not contain actual hedgehog?

I think it's perfect. Regardless, when you go through and make sets, try and set aside the last one for something funny or quirky. Happy prep building! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:08, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron – Oh sure, will do that in future preps. Rest, this time I tried to balance the hook with 3 American and 3 biographies, trying to mechitzaing everything. Prep building is really interesting, and will try to do more in the future. Thanks a lot for your help. Also, glad to see that "Daisy" is also one of your favorite DYK! That article really made interested in knowing about LBJ, and have since written various articles about him. Feel free to let me know if there is anyway I can help you, including reviewing/promoting your backlogged nominations. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 18:37, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! i think i'm good for now on backlogged nominations, but I do appreciate the offer :) and I did notice that you balanced and mechitza'd everything, you're really getting the hang of this! LBJ is a fascinating character, too, so i did really like the Daisy hook. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:42, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I finally did it!

@Kavyansh.Singh: I never thought I'd be able to do this, but I nominated it. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 20:11, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't mind me getting ahead of myself: should this become a featured article, how would I nominate it to be queued up for the front page? I understand it's an obscure subject, but I would still love to show it to the wider Wikipedia readership instead of it just being something that someone accidentally clicks on when they're searching for the philosopher.

First draft of Truman's whistle-stop tour stops. All thanks to Guerillero!

Hi! @TheTechnician27 – Should this become a featured article, you can nominate it to be featured on the main page as WP:TFA. There, after getting a community consensus (which I think in this case would be un-controversial, as it would be a recent promotion then), it would be queued up by TFA coordinators. More important is to decide when do you want it to be featured? Nelson's birth anniversary, death anniversary? the day when Minnesota was admitted to the union? no specific date? etc.. By the way, how does the first draft of Truman's whistle stop tour map looks? All thanks to Guerillero. I have requested few more changes, but it looks really nice to me... – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:28, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kavyansh.Singh: That map is fantastic! It just bumped me up from a FAC support to a TFA support. It's better than what I was thinking of! TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 17:13, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to make the typeface should be just a bit bigger? Like if it's a 7-point right now, maybe it could be a 9? I can read it, but I have 20/20 vision. It might be a bit inaccessible for some more far-sighted readers. Come to think of it, it looks good when zooming in, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
