Instructions for nominators[edit]
Create a subpage for your new DYK suggestion and then list the page 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 bottom. Any registered user may nominate a DYK suggestion (if you are not a registered user, please leave a message at the bottom of the DYK project talk page with the details of the article you would like to nominate and the hook you would like to propose); self-nominations are permitted and encouraged. Thanks for participating and please remember to check back for comments on your nomination (consider watchlisting your nomination page).
To nominate an article[edit]
For simplified instructions, see User:Rjanag/Quick DYK 2.
| I. |
Create the nomination subpage.
Enter the article title in the box below and click the button. (To nominate multiple articles together, enter any or all of the article titles.) You will then be taken to a preloaded nomination page. |
| II. |
Write the nomination.
On the nomination page, fill in the relevant information. See Template:NewDYKnomination and
|
| III. |
Post at Template talk:Did you know.
In the current nominations section find the subsection for the date on which the article was created or on which expansion began, not the date on which you make the nomination.
|
How to review a nomination[edit]
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, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article to which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the supplementary guidelines and the WP:Did you know/Reviewing guide.
To post a comment or review on a DYK nomination, follow the steps outlined below:
- Look through this page, Template talk:Did you know, to find a nomination you would like to comment on.
- Click the "Review or comment" link at the top of the nomination. You will be taken to the nomination subpage.
- The top of the page includes a list of the DYK criteria. Check the article to ensure it meets all the relevant criteria.
- To indicate the result of the review (i.e., whether the nomination passes, fails, or needs some minor changes), leave a signed comment on the page. Please begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed; your comment should look something like the following:
If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a lineArticle length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.:* <!-- REPLACE THIS LINE TO WRITE FIRST COMMENT, KEEPING :* -->showing you where you should put the comment. - Save the page.
If there is any problem or concern about a nomination, please consider notifying the nominator by placing {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page.
Frequently asked questions[edit]
Backlogged?[edit]
This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first (so that those hooks don't grow stale), it may take several weeks until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see instructions above).
Where is my hook?[edit]
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.
Search archived DYK nomination discussions[edit]
Instructions for other editors[edit]
How to promote an accepted hook[edit]
- See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
- In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
- In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
- In the prep set...
- Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
- Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
- Add an edit summary, e.g. "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
- Back on DYK nomination page...
- change
{{DYKsubpageto{{subst:DYKsubpage - change
|passed=to|passed=yes - Add an edit summary, e.g. "Promoted to Prep 3", preview, and save
- change
How to remove a rejected hook[edit]
- Open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to remove. (It's best to wait several days after a reviewer has rejected the hook, just in case someone contests or the article undergoes a large change.)
- In the window where the DYK nomination subpage is open, replace the line
{{DYKsubpagewith{{subst:DYKsubpage, and replace|passed=with|passed=no. Then save the page. This has the effect of wrapping up the discussion on the DYK nomination subpage in a blue archive box and stating that the nomination was unsuccessful, as well as adding the nomination to a category for archival purposes.
How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue[edit]
- Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
- Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there is usually a link to it in the credits section).
- View the edit history for that page
- Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
- Leave a comment explaining that the hook was removed from the queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
- If the day title for the section that contained the hook has been removed from this page, restore that section.
- If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.
- Add a link to the nomination subpage at Wikipedia:Did you know/Removed
How to move a nomination subpage to a new name[edit]
- Don't; it should not ever be necessary, and will break some links which will later need to be repaired. Even if you change the title of the article, you don't need to move the nomination page.

Articles created/expanded on June 13[edit]
Morteza Avini
-
- ALT1:
... that Morteza Avini (pictured), Iranian filmmaker, photographer, author and journalist, was entitled "the master of martyred literati" by supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei? - Reviewed: José Plácido de Castro
- ALT1:
5x expanded by Mhhossein (talk). Nominated by Mhhossein (talk) at 13:56, 20 June 2016 (UTC).
-
Prose size (text only): 6984 characters (1165 words) "readable prose size"; 5x expansion by Mhhossein since 13 June 2016 (when it was 896); English inline citations appear OK, however many are in Persian (I cannot check). Image seems appropriate (although not necessary) and free of copyvio. The prose is rfeadable if not good. However, my main concern is that the article is not balanced and objective and therefore violates the NPOV criterion. For example, in the book cited in the Talattof reference 6, there is a section dealing with criticism of Avini - for example on page 182 it talks about Behnoud's accusations that Avini had been a drug addict. If there was debate and criticism about Avini, it should be included. The current article reads a bit like a "life of the saint" (or in this case, "Martyr"). The hook can be imnproved - a suggestionm is ALT: 2. This is my first review.- ALT2: ...that Iranian filmmaker Morteza Avini, who was blown up by a landmine in 1993, was named "the master of martyred literati" by supreme leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?

- Looking at a first review, as requested
, I changed the symbol to the neutral question mark (from the "rather not" slash which was possibly not intended, - revert if it was). I also moved ALT2 to the post of the reviewer, because yes it's mentioned, but better to also see who worded it. It is a subset of ALT1, so doesn't require a different reviewer. I also added (pictured), we can't expect a prep-builder to take it over from a different hook when promoting ALT2. I will look at the review now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:42, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- Looking at a first review, as requested
-
-
-
- I read and made minor changes in formatting (repeat last name every new section, let image look "into" the text, link the first time, combine short sections). I think the article should go through copyediting, - a phrase such as "By the Islamic revolution of Iran, he joined cinema and started his artistic career" seems unclear. You could request that at WP:GOCE, let's have a look again afterwards. There's no rush to meet a certain date. As for POV: this is just DYK, not GA or FA, completeness is not required. The article should of course always say "is regarded as a martyr" (and by whom), not "is a martyr". Mhhossein, could you please make sure that is followed? (I have no time to read every line.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you Byronmercury and Gerda Arendt for the review and for the raised points. I checked the article and there's no such thing as "is a martyr" and it's emphasized that he was entitled and regarded as martyr. I'll make a request at WP:GOCE and will let you know when ever the case is addressed by them. Mhhossein (talk) 17:26, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

- Gerda Arendt, I have restored Byronmercury's original icon above, as it was correct. NPOV is a very important DYK criterion and should never be ignored; this isn't an issue of completeness but of balance, and sufficiently serious that the "?" icon is not appropriate since it isn't a simple fix. Also, many of Mhhossein's DYK nominations have run into NPOV issues, with a number of rounds of edits required before the reviewer has been satisfied. The GOCE copyedit may well not address the neutrality issue, especially if doing so requires finding new sources. Finally, this review did not cover the QPQ requirement, and Mhhossein needs to supply one as he has well over five DYK nominations to his credit. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:29, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset: I meant to perform a review to cover the QPQ requirement. By the way, those "many DYK nominations," as evidenced, later emerged to be not that problematic as alleged by the reviewers (just see the nomination process of them). You are ignoring the inherent biased approach of some users, when it comes to I-P and middle east articles. As ever, I'm ready to resolve any issue specifically mentioned by the reviewers. Mhhossein (talk) 17:48, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) I just took a closer look at the image, which I like a lot, and I'm not sure that the public domain declaration for the photo is valid. It's a photo of a wall painting, and Iran does not, so far as I can tell, allow freedom of panorama, which would mean that the original artist still holds copyright unless it's a very old painting that is itself in the public domain. (I very much doubt that the photo is by the artist, given the other photos uploaded.) Chris Woodrich, could you please comment on whether the image is allowable at DYK? (Even if not, might there be a non-free justification for keeping it in the article?) Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:52, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- Definitely still in copyright. A photograph would be better for fair use, as the painting is highly idealized. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 04:20, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

- I have removed the image from the nomination. It also seems to me, Chris Woodrich, that as long as the image is in the article, as it is still in copyright, that we cannot promote the nomination, because it would be on the main page with a copyvio image in it. Correct? BlueMoonset (talk) 23:52, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- @Crisco 1492: Thank you, do you think we can make use of this photo instead? Mhhossein (talk) 14:39, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- No, because there is no indication who took the underlying photograph (i.e. the object being photographed). Rephotographing something does not grant one copyright over it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:44, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- Chris Woodrich: How about this one, considering that Tasnim releases its content under CC per the text at the bottom of the page? Mhhossein (talk) 15:14, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- Better. We just need to see if Tasim created the image; I don't see any credit line. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:23, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- Thank you Chris Woodrich, and how about this one and the photos uploaded here? Thanks. Mhhossein (talk) 19:07, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- I can't open the source for Avini2. The Flickr one seems to be a series of screenshots. If that's the case, the uploader probably doesn't have the right to release it under a free license. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:04, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- I'm afraid, not all those photos on Flickr were screenshots! btw, this's the link to Avini2 and you may also consider this one. Mhhossein (talk) 05:39, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- All of those Flickr photos are listed as having been taken in 2002 or later, and Avini died in 1993. The photographer cannot, therefore, be the one who created the original images. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:42, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

* The article underwent a rather comprehensive copy edit. Also, I added some new materials and tried to address the concerns raised by the reviewers. Besides, I found a photo of Avini which is recently uploaded by the photographer Ehsan Rajabi, according to the description page. The photo is also seen on his personal website. --Mhhossein (talk) 12:39, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
I think this is an important article but I see numerous issues with it and said so on the talk page. Article's formal issues are:
- language is at times unencyclopedic, unusual terms are used without quotation marks, some sentences are wrongly constructed.
- There are unsourced claims that appear to be very important.( US stay, studies)
- plain unclear: there are facts alluded to, that actually need expansion. (US stay, studies)
- Half the references are to Bookroom.ir in Persian.
- almost all references are undated, and no pages given, ie incomplete referencing.
Article's content issues:
- WP:NPOV: I dont think the article is neutral. It has a slant towards glorifying the subject. Part of this may be the one-sided sources.
- WP:UNDUE: The subsection 'Style' is unbalanced. Three quarter is referenced to one work by a certain redlinked Agnes Devictor, with a source that is a dead link.
Hook ALT2 :
-
- @Wuerzele: I found much of your points unacceptable because:
- Bookroom.ir, as a source for introducing Persian books, is almost only used in 'Bibliography' to introduce Avini's books. What's wrong with this?
- As far as I'm concerned, Agnes Devictor has done his Ph.D regarding Avini professional film career and some parts of his life. Devictor's work is an academic third party and hence reliable source, why not use it? By the way, I have no idea how you found this link dead!
- Whether the sources are dated or not, paged or not is not something to be retarding article's progress in DYK. Nothing requires us to have the sources dated or paged. However, I can tell the pages if there are challenging claim.
All the points, including Avini's studying in US, is well referenced in the article. I found no sources going through the details.- As you see, thanks to GeneralizationsAreBad, the article has undergone almost 2 rounds of copy edits and I don't think your claim is acceptable, unless you can show us specifically what you mean!
- Can you please show us what sections have "a slant towards glorifying the subject"? Mhhossein (talk) 07:17, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Wuerzele: I found much of your points unacceptable because:
New reviewer is needed: ِDespite my reply to the alleged issues raised by the former reviewer (both here and on the talk page of the article), he does not seem willing to continue this review although I tried to resolve the issues via discussion and asked for his feedback some days ago. It appears that the main issue is that the article needs to be copy edited once again and GeneralizationsAreBad has shown willingness to finish the job and I thank him for his former copy edits on the article. So, I'd like to ask another reviewer to address the recent edits and check what else should be done. Mhhossein (talk) 11:51, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
This article has certainly improved somewhat from the nominated version. All potentially contentious material is now cited. However, there are still issues with language. Has this been copy-edited by a GOCE volunteer? In particular the section about the change in his life is rather messianic in its tone, and the information about his style is not presented very neutrally, either. Vanamonde (talk) 11:40, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- @Vanamonde93: Thanks for the review. I tried to maintain a suitable and neutral version in my edits. I should tell you that the article has undergone a round of copy edit by a GOCE volunteer, as mentioned above, and it's waiting for another round. Regarding the tone and neutrality of the sections, I think the source have also similar tone. However, I know the our article needs to be as neutral as possible. Do you have any specific edit suggestions? --Mhhossein talk 12:43, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- The most general suggestions I have are to avoid the use of quotes, which tend to include slightly fluffy language, and to paraphrase instead. Also, I would suggest even just removing the section where he is discussing his own work. Also, please check for run-on sentences (this is not a neutrality issue, but worth doing). Finally, terms such as "profane nature" of western art should not be thrown around without qualification. I can give more specific suggestions, but I'm a little busy right now. I'll look at it again soon. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 13:55, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Vanamonde93: Thanks for the review. I tried to maintain a suitable and neutral version in my edits. I should tell you that the article has undergone a round of copy edit by a GOCE volunteer, as mentioned above, and it's waiting for another round. Regarding the tone and neutrality of the sections, I think the source have also similar tone. However, I know the our article needs to be as neutral as possible. Do you have any specific edit suggestions? --Mhhossein talk 12:43, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Okay, I was sort of hoping that I could make minor copy-edits and then pass this, but I think my edits have been substantial enough that I have to call for a new review to maintain the integrity of the process. For what it's worth, I think most of the prose/neutrality issues have been fixed, and a lot of the promotional language has been pruned. I've also checked the English references.

William C. O'Neill Bike Path
... that William C. O'Neill Bike Path follows an abandoned railroad from Kingston station, West Kingston to Narragansett, Rhode Island?
Created/expanded by JJBers (talk). Self-nominated at 17:05, 26 June 2016 (UTC).

Article is long enough and new enough, hook is referenced, no evident copyvios. Image appears to be correctly licenced. This is the user's first article, so they are exempt from the QPQ requirement. Smurrayinchester 11:01, 26 July 2016 (UTC)- I am striking this. My review was clearly insufficient. I am very sorry. Smurrayinchester 07:31, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

- Oops, thank you for picking that up. I've been bold and kept "formerly" - if the OP would prefer "once", that would be OK too. Smurrayinchester 13:49, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

The hook isn't sufficiently accurate: while the path "largely" runs along the former railroad line, it doesn't do so entirely: for example, there's one section that's on a regular street. The article doesn't have any sourcing for the first History paragraph, and must per WP:DYKSG#D2. Also, the description of the three sections completed to date give their lengths as 4.2 miles, 2.9 miles, and 0.8 miles long respectively. (Two of these are both called Phase II, which is confusing.) Adding those together yields 7.9 miles, yet the trail's total length at present is given as 6.8 miles. That difference is way more than can be explained by rounding errors, and the sources don't seem to agree on the actual length, so perhaps some more sourcing is needed. Here's a suggested alternate hook that covers the same basic ground as the original, and comes in at 199 characters, just under the limit of 200:
-
- ALT1: ... that the William C. O'Neill Bike Path mostly runs on the right of way of a defunct Rhode Island railroad from Kingston station in West Kingston to Narragansett, but also runs on a residential street?
- The conflating of the bike path's two names (William C. O'Neill and South County) in the opening bold name of the article requires a secondary source to support its use (or a change so it is not used), and I think the article needs to explain the two names for the path if it's going to use them. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:30, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- I've sourced the first paragraph. OP will have to do the rest. Sorry. Smurrayinchester 07:31, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- Alright, the alt sounds fine for a hook, and also thanks for fixing my errors. The page as been largely edited by me, and I don't have as much experience.--JJBers (talk) 10:24, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- JJBers, I'm glad ALT1 works for you. I've done a bit more cleanup on the article, but it's up to you to dig into the available sources (and, if necessary, search out others) and figure out what's causing the discrepancy in the trail distance versus its individual phase distances and revise accordingly, and also to fix the two Phase IIs issue. Please let us know when that has been accomplished. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:06, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- BlueMoonset, I'm currently on vacation in New York, and I'm doing this on a friends laptop I'm borrowing, so I work on sourcing when I get home, but thanks for cleaning up the page!--JJBers (talk) 16:27, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

- I think ALT1 is too long, especially for such a minor topic. I would suggest dropping the phrase about the residential street. Gatoclass (talk) 16:50, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- Gatoclass, but then you have a hook about a bike path running on an abandoned railroad right of way, which is true of the bulk of the bike paths I know of. Perhaps the specific towns could be eliminated to shorten it, and then you have a bike path running (in part) on regular city streets (instead of just crossing them), which adds a bit of interest. Is ALT2 any better?

- ALT2: ... that the William C. O'Neill Bike Path mostly runs on the right of way of a defunct Rhode Island railroad, but also runs on a residential street? —BlueMoonset (talk) 23:53, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- I'm really not keen on any of these hooks, because as you note, there is nothing at all unusual about bike paths running on old rail lines or residential streets. Maybe a different hook can be found. Gatoclass (talk) 05:08, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- No comments on the article itself, but I'd like to propose a new hook.
- ALT3 ... that the William C. O'Neill Bike Path crosses Rhode Island Route 108 three times?
- (this is my first hook proposal) Pppery (talk) 14:22, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- That is also a yawn IMO. Admittedly, this is not a topic that lends itself to great hooks.
- I did consider proposing a hook based on the statement that it was originally conceived as a children's bike route, but was unable to confirm it from the source. Perhaps if JJBers could source that more accurately, we could use that angle. Gatoclass (talk) 14:43, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Gatoclass, why exactly is my alt hook not interesting. How about
- ALT4 ... that William C. O'Neill Bike Path crosses Rhode Island Route 108 three times, two of which are only 0.2 miles (0.32 km) apart.
- Pppery (talk) 14:28, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Pppery, a good hook generally highlights either an interesting/informative fact, or an unusual one, and I don't think the fact that a bike path happens to cross a road three times can fairly be described as either.
- Here's a possibility though: the Rhode Island department of transportation describes the path as the fourth longest in the state.[1] Gatoclass (talk) 15:34, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Gatoclass, why exactly is my alt hook not interesting. How about
- Before taking this nomination any further, I think the discrepancies in length need to be cleaned up. Main body text and the accompanying sources state that the path is about 7.8 miles in length, but the table says 6.8. The table cites a map for the lengths given therein, but I can't see any distances at all cited on the map. JJBers, where did you get the distances in the table from? Gatoclass (talk) 07:44, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Google Maps--JJBers (talk) 15:41, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, I have added the requisite fact to the article so I will now propose the new alt:
- ALT5: ... that with a length of 7.8 miles (13 km), the William C. O'Neill Bike Path is the fourth longest bike path in the state of Rhode Island? Gatoclass (talk) 08:15, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
Can we have somebody review ALT5 please? Gatoclass (talk) 09:44, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Article new enough, long enough, and neutrally written. Article is appropriately cited inline, and there are no copyvios that I can find. Image seems to be fine. Hook is not the most enthralling (fourth longest in a state this small) but it will do, I think. One minor issue: the article switches between 6.8 miles and 7.8 miles for the length of the trail. I think 7.8 is a typo, but I'd rather one of you folks checked and corrected this. An inaccuracy in the sentence the hook is from does not look too good. Vanamonde (talk) 16:46, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- Oops, sorry Vanamonde93, I forgot to update those numbers. I think you'll find all the referrals to length now give it as 7.8 miles - the official Rhode Island Dept of Transporation figure.[2] Gatoclass (talk) 17:46, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, uh, problem with that. The RIDOT website is completely wrong; the actual train is currently 6.8 miles long. (The site claims 108 to Rodman is 2.9 miles - it's actually 1.9 miles long.) I just wrote to RIDOT so hopefully it will be fixed, but in the meantime the RIDOT site should not be considered a reliable source. Rails to Trails gives 6.8 miles in their sidebar, but the pre-2011 lenght of 6.1 miles in the text. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:20, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
- Since rails to trails gives two different lengths, it can hardly be considered a reliable source. RIDOT is a government department that has obviously been involved in the planning and probably construction of this path, if they don't know how long the path is, who does? Gatoclass (talk) 18:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
- Well, in this case it appears that they're wrong. If you use the measure tool on Google Maps, or look at our KML map of the path, the path is clearly 6.8 and not 7.8 miles. 'Verifiability not truth' is certainly policy, but it does not support having demonstrably incorrect information. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

The article was moved into mainspace on June 18, is about 1800 characters long and a search for copyright violations returns a clean bill of health. The problem I have is that the hook is incorrect - the article asserts it was number one on the video charts, while the source given is a Flickr snapshot of a music chart (which in itself is copyright violation and hence a bad idea to use a source) and does not seem to support the claim given. When you think of something like "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" which was number one on the UK charts for about 4 months, it's not a particularly outstanding hook in the first place. See if you can dig out an interview about the album from the Billboard or Rolling Stone archives, and if something "hooky" or "quirky" leaps out at you, put it in the article and use that.

{{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk}22:49, 22 June 2016 (UTC)- That still leaves the lack of general "hookiness" for the hooks, which are all basic variations on the same theme. I would recommend following the above advice to see if there's anything hook-worthy in other sources that has not yet been added to the article. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:39, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333 and Checkingfax: I did have in mind what I think would be a better hook but need to dig up the reference I misplaced. It mentions that the Flamenco Road CD is the first album in the 'new flamenco' (neuvo flamenco) genre to use a 24 track recording process. (Flamenco began with just guitar, voice and dance, and evolved to Paco de Lucia's sextet, but 24 tracks is unheard of in this genre). ...will try to find the ref. Many thanks for your time and feedback; much appreciated. Natalie Desautels …as within, so without 20:07, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333 and Checkingfax: PS. flamenco Road is an instrumental album; almost all hits are voice these days so an instrumental hit is really quite rare. One thinks of 'The Ventures' 40 years ago when instrumental hits were more common. Also, for an purely instrumental work with no singing to pass Diana Krall and Leonard Cohen on the charts is also kind of quirky. Maybe this fact can be worked into the 'hook' somehow. ...just my two cents

Plus the article only says the album was probably the first album to employ 24-track recording, not that it definitely was.

- Natalie.Desautels, I've just made some copyedits to the article after striking ALT4—at 224 characters, it was well beyond the maximum length allowed. I've also had to strike ALT5 because it gives a 1990 date for an album that was released in 2001, and the article gives no indication that the release was eleven years after the recording. I'm definitely puzzled about the second source, since anything dated 1990 cannot possibly be referring to an album released in 2001. The elaborate instrumentation does not automatically imply 24 tracks, so I don't think that wording is useful and is why my copyedit changed it (nor is it part of what you've translated)—it's the usage of 24 tracks that's germane, and while I reworded the phrase, the 1990 source date casts it all into doubt (unless the date of the source is wrong, in which case please fix it and, if at all possible, add a link to the voir.ca page where the article resides). I think, however, what concerns me is how very close the article text is to the various source text translations in some places, most notably the second half of the second paragraph, which is almost identical to the program notes it is taken from (as translated in the reference). It might be better to quote some of those notes, even if it reduces the total original prose count for the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:46, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

- @Natalie.Desautels: Thank you for providing the quote as well, that really does help. I may be splitting hairs here but "to my knowledge" as stated in the source is slightly different than the fact the article presents it as. I totally get the problem with trying to prove something is for sure the first, like trying to prove a negative it is hard to do. So without suggesting a new hook to disqualify myself from reviewing I do believe the main information of the ALT5 can be retained without stating it as a stone cold fact and more of an "informed opinion".

It's Not Me, It's You (game show)
... that It's Not Me, It's You was originally commissioned for an hour?
Created by Launchballer (talk). Self-nominated at 23:05, 26 June 2016 (UTC).
-
- Launchballer - I question whether or not this is actually notable enough for an article after just one episode? Are tellymix.com and UKGameshows.com considered reliable sources? the fourth one is a primary source by the channel itself and the first one (Digital spy) is basically a press release "it's coming". I am just not seeing how this passes the General Notability Guideline? MPJ-DK 23:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
-
- I have no idea what policy he was quoting, but apparently being a weekly show on a national TV channel is an indication of notability. It's late in my country, but later on I'll have a look.--Launchballer 23:54, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
- Launchballer So the policy that "he" (that would be me, please don't talk past me like I am beneath you) refers to is just one of the foundations of WIkipedia - articles must be notable, if you don't know it then I can reccomend it as nighttime read. You want another link from "that guy"? How about WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, so that does not really convince me that this should stay. Please try to remain civil and perhaps not so defensive? MPJ-DK 00:02, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- You have misinterpreted my message. Please read "he" as "the IP"; if you follow the link I have provided, it will take you to an edit made by an IP deprodding an article I had prodded, with his/her rationale being that "being a weekly show on a national TV channel is an indication of notability". Again, I have no idea where that idea was obtained, but I wasn't talking past you, and I think I had better go to bed to avoid causing further offence! I will have another look for sources in the morning.--Launchballer 00:18, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Launchballer Ah shoot, I totally took that wrong, I apologize for my own uncivility. MPJ-DK 00:21, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
-
Even so, I wonder about the notability. There aren't any reviews, as MPJ-DK notes the Digital Spy source has sparse detail about the (then) forthcoming show, tellymix.com strikes me as a very dubious source (the page about the Writers is filled with grammatical issues, which is highly unprofessional), and the rest are primary sources. Indeed, the bulk of the article is Launchballer's description of what he saw, and the format seems to be changing from episode to episode (based on the first two episodes), which does not inspire confidence in the format assumptions being made. At the moment, even if the IP is right about notability—which I think is open to question—this isn't ready for main page highlighting via DYK without far better sourcing than is currently provided. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- Here's another few sources. The two episodes I've seen are on Demand 5; would you like links to the articles?--Launchballer 12:41, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Launchballer, as the hook is dependent on the tellymix source that I found very dubious for the reasons expressed, and you haven't even tried to convinced me that it is reliable, this nomination is still not ready and its one hook is in doubt. (It also isn't very interesting: if it was originally commissioned for an hour, so what? Most people won't know that broadcast episodes run 45 minutes, so they'll have no basis for comparison. Please try for a truly interesting hook.) Regarding the new sources, the first two were added in Background and deal with occurrences prior to the show (and unrelated to it), and don't establish notability for this show. The ChronicleLive source, which at first glance would seem to be exactly what I was asking for in terms of reviews, reads like a fanboy gushing about Vicki Pattison. I'm not knowledgeable about the British press: is ChronicleLive a reliable source (an offshoot, perhaps, of a magazine or television show)? If it is, then it should be included, but probably not more than you already have. As for the Demand 5 articles, as they're primary sources, they won't help notability. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:54, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- ChronicleLive is a local paper representing Pattison's home turf, the North East, and owned by Trinity Mirror. Most of the press coverage for the show gushes even more violently about the two team captains "Kelly Brook smoulders as she finishes filming It's Not Me, It's You" is the contents of most of them. The Express reviewed the last episode; while it's not a reliable source for fact, I'm happy to take the reviewer's opinion as valid.
- ALT1: ... that It's Not Me, It's You has been described as a "more formal Celebrity Juice"? or
- ALT2: ... It's Not Me, It's You? (I reckon readers will want to know what's them.)--Launchballer 18:34, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Launchballer, thanks for removing that tellymix source. I've struck the original hook. (Did you notice that the Duke review says the show is 45 minutes, while the Baylis review says half an hour?) ALT1 really isn't interesting to most people; it might be a bit interesting to people who know Celebrity Juice, but I feel that we can't base a hook off of how the network (or is BT an online rebroadcaster, like Hulu?) describes a show in its own listing. It's a biased source trying to hype its own program. As for the ALT2 hook, it's more April Fools' Day fodder, because it depends on misrepresenting the article title (which should be in italics since it's a television show), something that's only allowed for April 1 hooks. Would you want this to be an April Fools' Day hook (which would mean nearly a nine month wait), or would you prefer to suggest other hooks? The one thing you haven't mentioned is that this is a dating-themed show; that might be able to be worked into something reasonably interesting along with the show's title. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:36, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- Ah, why didn't you say so? I'm autistic, so dating is very uninteresting to me. I wrote/watch this because I like panel shows. I did notice the Baylis inaccuracy, which was why I was so reticent to use it initially, but I think he may have got half-hour from being the same advertisers' anathema that I am; skipping the commercials. BT, for the purposes of that source, isn't really a network, rather a television platform like Freeview (UK). Would ALT3: ... It's Not Me, It's You? solve that problem, and if not ALT4: ... that It's Not Me, It's You sees Kelly Brook and Vicky Pattison interacting with potential dates using a live video Tinder-style swipe screen?--Launchballer 11:11, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset What's another name for a call-and-lose contest? It comes across as a bit grumpy but I can't think what they're supposed to be called. (As it transpires, both Duke and Baylis were right - episode 5's been reduced to half an hour.)--Launchballer 12:25, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: All of your alternate hooks were linking to a completely unrelated album, rather than the game show they were supposed to be linking to. I have changed the link targets. Pppery (talk) 23:36, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- Launchballer, I think ALT3 would only fly as an April Fool's hook (I'm not sure whether ALT2 would be allowed even for that day). You could try a non-April Fool's version by adding a regular "that" before it, but I kind of doubt that would pass muster. As for ALT4, the hook material comes from a primary source, and my assumption is that "Tinder-style swipe screen" is your own characterization, and hence not acceptable—if it came from a secondary source description, then it could be if properly cited. As for "call-and-lose contest", I have no idea what it is. Sorry I can't help you with that. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:11, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

- ALT5: ... that It's Not Me, It's You? Tinder-style swipe screen is a truncated form of "live video Tinder-style game on a giant swipe screen". As for call-and-lose contest, one of these.--Launchballer 12:39, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

- Launchballer, if a fact isn't properly sourced in the article, you can't use it for the hook. Instead of giving me an external link, you've been at DYK long enough to know that you should be including that web page as an inline source citation in the article for that particular phrase, and being sure it's not so close as to be a copyvio.

I have reviewed the article and the bot's comments above. I agree with all of the ticks given by the bot, and accept the explanations by Adam regarding the crosses. To summarize, the article is new enough, having been created two days ago. It is certainly long enough, with three sections and several sub-sections. Considering the potentially controversial nature of the subject, I think it is neutrally written. I assume good faith on the French-language sources. The article appears clear of any copyright problems. The hook is short, within policy and topical. QPQ has been performed. The only issue I wish to bring to the nominator Adam Cuerden's attention is that the first paragraph of the "Career" subsection about her modelling is unsourced. Apart from that I think it is ready to go. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 07:53, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

- I'll check if it's covered in one of the nearby sources. Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:38, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Athomeinkobe: It wasn't covered, so I rewrote the section a bit to match the sources I found. Google is blocking some articles from me under the Right to privacy laws of Europe; I'll need to poke around with other search engines once I'm home and see what comes up, and whether I can source the original, more detailed text. Is it good to go as it stands, though? Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:47, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

I have pulled this nomination from prep as the rules say "Articles and hooks that focus unduly on negative aspects of living individuals should be avoided" and in my view, losing a lawsuit counts as a negative aspect.

... that Élizabeth Teissier claims to have predicted Black Monday and the fall of the Berlin Wall?Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:50, 7 July 2016 (UTC)-
- Oh, hell no. We are not doing a pro-astrology hook, that's a violation of WP:FRINGE, a subset of WP:NPOV - one of the five pillars of Wikipedia. The original is fine - it's well sourced, and is something she got plenty of press coverage about; it should never, never have been pulled. The new one - besides actual policy violations - also uses claims of success explicitly sourced only to the astrologer, ignoring that the article actually has a reliable source independently testing her success rate, which proved negative. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:23, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- I think it's fine. It doesn't say she did predict those events, just that she claims to. It's interesting enough to make someone want to read more, where they'll learn about her actual success rate. clpo13(talk) 15:17, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- Agree with Adam Cuerden. In it's current form the article clearly introduces affirmative claims regarding astrology, a subject that the community has long considered to be a Fringe Theory. The lack of any explanation that astrology is considered fringe violates both WP:DUE and WP:PROFRINGE. We do not allow articles to be used for the promotion of fringe theories and we certainly do not post articles with pro-fringe material on the Front Page. Mentioning fringe beliefs is not prohibited. Failing to include a clear statement explaining that such beliefs are not generally accepted and why, is.
In its current form this article cannot be linked on the Front Page.-Ad Orientem (talk) 15:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)-
- @Ad Orientem: Oh, come. How is it pro-astrology? It includes lengthy analysis of her accuracy, and discusses the controversy about her defense of astrology. I can't see it as any way promotional of astrology (although the hook is, by taking one of the only sentences that's at all pro-astrology in the article, and choosing that. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:48, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- I took another look at it and agree that there is a pretty strong refutation of her particular claims, though I would like to see at least a sentence stating that the scientific community regards astrology as bunk, or words to that effect. I will remove the tag. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:53, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

- I agree with Clpo13. I've already read the article in this case, but even in general, any sentence such as "X claims to have predicted Y" (as opposed to an affirmative statement "X predicted Y") activates my bullshit detector. So I would not call this ALT blurb "pro-astrology". AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:57, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
- It may activate your bullshit detector, but we aren't writing for you; we're writing for everyone, and that kind of "coded" warning is only going to work on people who are already skeptical of such claims. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:52, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

- I just struck the original hook because it was the one that was pulled, and ALT1 given the objections of Adam Cuerden. I'm also copying over the following two posts by Gatoclass and Adam Cuerden from the WT:DYK#Prep 2: Élizabeth Teissier discussion, since they seem to point the way to a possible new hook (which needs to be written).

- Well, Adam Cuerden, I think we could have a hook about the fact that she was controversially awarded a doctorate for a defence of astrology (assuming I have read the article correctly). That certainly strikes me as a very interesting and unusual fact worth highlighting. Gatoclass (talk) 15:59, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

... that Élizabeth Teissier was controversially awarded a doctorate in sociology for a thesis in defence of astrology?Gatoclass (talk) 14:09, 23 July 2016 (UTC)- I can live with that, but I still say the original hook is better and nearer DYK's original mandate. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:03, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
-
-
- With all due respect, I wasn't keen on the original hook either, because I think it wasn't informative enough. It tells you absolutely nothing about who Teissier is or what she is known for. It doesn't even explain what she was suing about. I'm strongly opposed to hooks that read like clickbait, that fail to give adequate information about a topic simply in order to incite curiosity. Your hook may, or may not, have attracted more page hits, but page hits are far from the sole criterion by which hooks are selected. In any case, while I may be biased, I think my alt above is pretty interesting, there can't be too many people getting doctorates these days for defences of astrology!

- It waas controversial. We can't violate Wikipedia policies because you don't want to say a major scandal was a major scandal. NPOV - which includes WP:Fringe theories - is more important than saying nice things that also distort the documented facts, because you don't want to offend someone.

- I agree with Adam here. "Controversially" is not a banned word at DYK, and the fact that something is controversial does not necessarily imply a negative - it just means there is disagreement about something. In this case, the award has clearly triggered a major controversy in academia and I think it would smack of censorship if we were to avoid reference to that. Gatoclass (talk) 06:31, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- The only time it was used in anything BLP-related was for the song White Privilege II. Here it is certainly negative, for it implies that Teissier and/or her work was not worthy of a doctorate. DYK hooks are censored - we don't have a policy of excluding negative material from BLPs, but we do from BLP-related DYK hooks. StAnselm (talk) 08:36, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- On reflection, I think ALT3 is still a good hook, even without the word "controversially", and would still make a good quirky. So maybe we should just go with that. Gatoclass (talk) 08:49, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- Despite the person who wrote the article being strongly against it, as it implies that astrology is an academically-accepted discipline? Adam Cuerden (talk) 09:18, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

- Perhaps we could rephrase the hook somewhat to accommodate StAnselm's concerns. However, for the following hook to work, I think something would have to be added to the article regarding the wider debate about the definition of sociology that has apparently been going on:
- (ALT4)
... that Élizabeth Teissier's award of a doctorate for a thesis defending astrology has sharpened a debate among sociologists about the nature of their discipline?Gatoclass (talk) 06:57, 24 July 2016 (UTC) - I have put an ALT4 label on Gatoclass' suggestion, but I think the best alternative so far is ALT2. Reading ALT2 I think "yeah, I bet it was controversial, I wonder how that happened", whereas ALT3 makes me think "I wonder what tin-pot university would give a doctorate for astrology, was it basically a degree factory?" ALT4 gives me a WTF feeling - do sociologists seriously debate whether astrology is part of their discipline, don't they realise it is pseudoscientific bilge? Frankly, a doctorate in defence of astrology that was not controversial to me would suggest it was dismissed out of hand and reflects poorly on the awarding institution, so I think using the word "controversial" is absolutely appropriate. I agree with Adam that a pro-astrology hook is unacceptable, and I agree with others that highlighting the loss of the lawsuit on the main page would reflect poorly on Wikipedia. EdChem (talk) 10:28, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- Yes, I think it would be fair to react to ALT3 by assuming it was an unaccredited university. One way around that is to specifically say it was Paris Descartes University. StAnselm (talk) 10:38, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- ALT5:
". . . that in France, former television personality Élizabeth Teissier, publicly defended a thesis that astrology is oppressed?"That's interesting, true, and does not promote anything but facts. Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:58, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- I think that's kind of hard to parse, though I could almost live with it. Alt 2 is far, far better though. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:42, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- I just don't find that very interesting, because it omits the crucial detail that the thesis was actually accepted. Gatoclass (talk) 03:09, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- "...that former French television personality Élizabeth Teissier, publicly defended a thesis that astrology is oppressed?" --Khajidha (talk) 17:46, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- So while the original hook has a certain "hey-nana-boo-boo" quality to it, that is not the same as saying "don't do a hook around the lawsuit at all" to me. It is pretty apparent that the nominator is not really feeling the astrology hooks but that's all that's bening suggested. If the hook is a factual, neutral statement about the lawsuit such as the Alt suggested below I don't see why it could not run on the main page? MPJ-DK 00:15, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

- Pinging Adam Cuerden for comment. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:09, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
- WP:FRINGE seems dubiously served by not mentioning it was controversial. It's not the worst suggestion made, but I think it's far more open to challenge than the one that was pulled, as that one at least went with weight of sources; this one actively ignores that there's basically no simple "statement-of-fact" coverage of this event. Whether savaging the university for awarding it or defending her thesis, all sources discuss the controversy. I think the only way to avoid it is to make the content more clear, which would make the controversial nature obvious without saying so. But I still think it should be included, lest it appear Wikipedia is promoting her views: Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:02, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

-
- There is NO DYK policy banning the word "controversial". It would be... infuriating... if non-policy, non-guideline statements of opinion killed a DYK because I wasnt' willing to have it violate actual policies in what facts were selected. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:22, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- No, but there is a policy banning negative BLP hooks, and saying the doctorate (and not just the thesis) is controversial is indeed a negative hook. Also, "claimed" is also POV; a more neutral word would be "argued". StAnselm (talk) 00:55, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Show me this policy. Because the nearest I can find to what you are saying is from Wikipedia:Did you know and says, "Articles and hooks that focus unduly on negative aspects of living individuals [...] should be avoided" - whioch does not in any way forbid talking about a persobn most notable for a controversy by discussing the controversy. Have we really been blocking this DYK because of a misreading of the DYK rules? Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:08, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- That's not a misreading - it's up to editorial consensus to work out how the "unduly" bit applies. The words in bold are your extrapolation - that's certainly not written in the policy. (Even if it was, you'd still have to demonstrate that Teissier is best known for this particular controversy.) StAnselm (talk) 03:52, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Adam Cuerden, though I'm inclined to agree with you about the word "controversial", in my experience if one person objects on the grounds that the hook is too negative, there will be more complaints when the article is actually run, probably resulting in the hook either being altered or pulled. I think if you re-read ALT7, you might agree that while the word "controversially" isn't actually used, the wording strongly implies a controversial result that most readers with an interest in the topic will immediately recognize. Gatoclass (talk) 17:10, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

I was about to call for a new reviewer, but on looking at the article, discovered some refs that are only bare URLs, which is not allowed by DYK rules. FN 25 and 34 are bare URLs, and FN12 appears to be one but may just need reformatting. Once these have been expanded into proper refs, I'll be happy to make that call. I've also struck the various prior hooks now that ALT10A has been set. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:50, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Reviewer needed to check ALT10A hook. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I don't think ALT10/10A work because the assertion that the thesis argues that astrology is oppressed by science is the characterization of a critic and not an objectively established fact. At this point, I think it would be best if we just went back to ALT7. Gatoclass (talk) 10:28, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- Looking at the abstract of her thesis [3] there's certainly some hints to that (scientism, an attack on the Enlightenment for harming astrology's place) so I'd imagine it's a fair assessment. Further, she quotes the article that quote is sourced to on her own website, without any additional commentary. @Gatoclass:: It does seem that if she's willing to quote the article, it's legitimate to use it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:49, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
-
-
- I find that "abstract" pretty much incomprehensible, so I don't think it's useful as any sort of source, except for the fact perhaps that it clearly reads as some sort of defence of astrology. The fact that she quotes the NY Times article is almost certainly due to the fact that it places her thesis in the context of a broader debate about the meaning of sociology; I very much doubt she put the article there as an endorsement of the multiple disparaging comments about her thesis from her critics included therein.

- I'm sorry, but while this article shows a lot of enthusiasm, it still needs a lot of work before it meets DYK standards. Lots of it is about HIV/AIDS in general (not just in NYC) and the timeline, completely unsourced, says lots of things like "X resigned because he distrusted Y". And there have to be better hooks than the above. EEng 21:34, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Full DYK review needed, keeping in mind earlier comments. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:29, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Ortiz2028, Doctorxgc, Mozucat, and Bluerasberry: So this has sat long enough, I am going to do what I can for a review. I will be adding in comments below
-
- The first sentence is literally "HIV/AIDS in New York City."? Whu??
- I have no problems with the content and context of AIDS that is currently in the article it is tied to NY one way or the other and helps tell the full story of it, it gives context to the reader, so that is not excessive (not sure if this has been edited after the original comments, but current version looks okay to me)
- There is a "Citation Needed" tag, has to be addressed
- Obviously long enough
- Sources - there are several paragraphs without sources in the article. Needs to be addressed. Since you chose to go with a timeline, bullet list layout I am afraid each bullet point needs a source too.
- Hooks - main and ALT2 come off as a bit dull or generic (not sure what an "LGBT response" is) and while Alt1 is better it still needs to be worked on - "Early police"
- QPQ done
- Timing is okay on this.
-
- Generally well written other than the lead issue I found.
- Copyvio check - The tool pinged on various similarities. I went over all of them and found most of the similarities were on names or generic terms such as " leading cause of death" etc. I don't think that's a problem. And some quotes naturally but overall it looks okay
So source work and some work on either Alt1 wording or a totally different hook is what is needed. MPJ-DK 20:08, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- MPJ-DK, what do you think of the other hook, that I proposed above: "...that a decade of LGBT community protest and activism preciptated the decline of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in New York City after 1994?"Pharos (talk) 20:14, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Pharos I had not seen that one, sorry. So looking at this the crux is "precipitated" and the LGBT community. I don't doubt protests and activism helped - but the only thing i can find in the article is "Improvements of both drug therapies and prevention education" unless I missed it? So I don't see the hook in the article? Can you help me find it perhaps it is worded in a way where I may have missed it? MPJ-DK 20:50, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- I want to acknowledge the conversation happening right now but I need to bow out of this discussion. I am mostly away from wiki for the next week. I can re-engage then if the matter is ongoing. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

- Ah, the dratted Cwmhiraeth is making more work for DYK reviewers, I see :)
Articles have all been expanded within the requisite timeframe, are free of copyvios (earwig's bot flags a quote, which is used properly, and is interesting enough that I would not paraphrase it) and neutrally written. They are cited inline to reliable sources. QPQ done, and image is free use (that's a gorgeous image, btw, good find!). My only quibble is with the hook: I think it could be made more interesting. There is certainly potential there: in the phrase "genetic revolution," for example, or in Russel's phrase "been well named after an ocean goddess." Could you take a look, Cwmhiraeth? I'll monitor this, and try and promotetick it ASAP after you address this. Vanamonde (talk) 06:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

- @Vanamonde93: It's difficult to use the Wallace quote for the hook, but I could probably write a bit about the genetic revolution for inclusion in the other two articles. Is ALT1 more interesting?

It doesn't look all good to me. There's nothing in this article about Spain & Denmark proposing a joint force in 1800. There is a mention of Sweden & Denmark making such a proposal, but there is no immediate citation, only one at the end of the section two sentences later. Additionally the reviewer hasn't done a proper full review. Bcp67 (talk) 19:47, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
On it.
Timely; long enough (~2.5k elig. chars.); the hook's cite is behind a jstor paywall but taken on good faith; no copyvio issues; QPQ done... but you need a new hook. The article being linked is about Jefferson's proposal, which came decades before the Dano-Swedish idea being mentioned by the hook. May I suggest something involving Jefferson, the pirates, or identic notes (which is interesting to discover the name for)? In the alternative, you could restructure the article and move it to something focused on the Dano-Swedish proposal. — LlywelynII 13:34, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- Sorry, you want me to rewrite the article so it focuses on the hook? Is this type of suggestion within the bailiwick of DYK review? In any case, you've made 45-percent of the total edit lines [4] to the article so, unfortunately, aren't eligible to review it. While I appreciate your effort, we should probably make sure this is done by-the-book given the recent cultural preference for letter-of-the-law at DYK. Gracias! LavaBaron (talk) 15:29, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- As a side note, I know it's not necessary but with something this terse that's in the public domain, it'd be nice to copy the text over to Wikisource and link it. Also, the article is in the wrong place, but I can fix that. — LlywelynII 13:50, 14 July 2016
Previous secondary reviewer was an active editor on article. Out of a preponderance of caution, an uninvolved secondary reviewer is needed. LavaBaron (talk) 15:38, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- It's fine to get a third opinion and give me an editing credit (you haven't done that so far but certainly aren't just trying to game the rules to avoid my comments), but no regardless of any of that nonsense you can't have a hook completely divorced from the WP:SCOPE of the article. You can rewrite the hook or the article. Obviously the hook is easier. — LlywelynII 13:21, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
-
-
No, actually we can have any hook we want as long as it's cited in the article and is interesting. There are no WP:SCOPE requirements in the reviewing guidelines. Thanks for offering an interesting perspective, though. Feel free to give yourself whatever credit you like, on my behalf and with my blessings. In the meantime, uninvolved reviewer needed. LavaBaron (talk) 01:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
It'd be nice if another reviewer or admin could point this out to you so you stop taking it personally but, no, the article and the hook have to abide by Wikipedia policy. One of those is WP:SUBMARINE: you can't say that your article is about a Dano-Swedish naval alliance and link to an article on an entirely separate American diplomatic note decades earlier. You're welcome to come up with some other hooks or just take a pass on this one. As is, you're failing the "within policy" aspect of the review. Hell, if I'm being treated as a creator for having cleaned up the article, I don't mind coming up with alternative hooks on my own. I was just giving you a chance to come up with something else you were interested in or, if the Dano-Swedish alliance really is the only interesting part for you, to write an article on that. — LlywelynII 04:37, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
Second review: Agree with User:LlywelynII. The hook fact has nothing to do with the linked article. The joint naval force being proposed in the hook happened in 1800; the article is about a different naval blockade proposed in 1786. If you said "... that after the demise of Jefferson's proposal, Denmark and Sweden proposed a different idea", that would be appropriate. I'm sure you can find another hook here. And the title is really long; isn't there a WP:COMMONNAME for this note?
-
- It's not commonly discussed enough to have a COMMONNAME. The full text of Jefferson's note is given under "Jefferson’s Proposed Concert of Powers against the Barbary States" but personally I feel like we should leave it at its formal original title rather than any random gloss of its content. We can redirect from the other, though. — LlywelynII 00:46, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

-
With respect and thanks for your time, Yoninah, this hook is not supported by the source or the running text. The proposal was never rejected: it was popular internationally and died in committee in the US. As a side point, the link could use a terser gloss that mentions Jefferson somewhere or should be formatted and capitalized as a title. @LavaBaron, thank you for your work here and elsewhere expanding articles. I don't know why you have to make this so difficult: all you need to do is offer a hook about the article being promoted that is verifiable through its citations. The article itself is fine. — LlywelynII 00:18, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
-
- You're right, @LlywelynII: and it just goes to show that I shouldn't okay a hook that I had anything to do with, even as a hint. Do you have another hook suggestion? I added you to the creation credits. Yoninah (talk) 14:29, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

This article does a very good job of being neutral and citing reliable sources on a topic which is potentially controversial. My only suggestion would be that the article focuses mostly on the British application of the term, and the American side could be expanded a bit more, but that is beyond the scope of DYK review and would not preclude a promotion. I have confirmed the bot analysis; spot checks reveal no close paraphrasing. I however think the hook could be better; the connection to 17th century pamphleteering just seems a bit out of left field, and I think there are more punchy hooks in the article, if you'd be willing to suggest one or two more. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 23:49, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

- @Antony-22: Thanks! I've added a couple of alternative hooks (and I've also tried to add a bit more about US use of the term). Smurrayinchester 09:46, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- We have to be extra careful with this topic, as it is mainly applied to people and groups by their critics, and I would doubt that any of them would describe themselves as supporting "post-truth politics". Being that there are BLP implications, if a specific person (or, perhaps, group) is mentioned, there should be an in-hook attribution. Alternatively, the "Drivers" section contains material for hooks that would not mention a specific person or group.
- One additional thing I noticed: the sentence "claims from the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign that the Democratic Party candidate selection was rigged towards Hillary Clinton" doesn't really fit as "post-truth" given the recent email leaks; even though the cited source supports it, it has become outdated by subsequent events.

- @CeeGee: review comments below
-
- QPQ Done and that hook has already been on the main event without issues.
- I agree with the bot on age, length, generally cited etc.
- Most of the article seems to be about the coup and what the planes did/tried to do etc. not really about the base - just "they took off from here" and "it was bombed"?
- There are a few places where it could use some copy editing, I am going to go out on a limb and assume English is not your first language (mine neither btw.) There seem to be some word structures missing etc. I would suggest you have someone else do a little copy editing for you? Other issues - common use of an abbreviation such as "AFB" is to define it before you use it - so "Air Force Base (AFB)" the first time it's used.
- A little copy editing and possibly something more about the actual base and then this would would be able to be passed. MPJ-DK 20:29, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- @MPJ-DK: Thank you very much indeed for your review. As far as it was made public, the air base is not closed or has not been evacuated yet. The DYK hook is purely about the bombing of the runway. I don't think that further developments have to be waited for. I can unfortunately do nothing about the required copyediting. Someone with native English language and advanced experience has to help.

- it's not appropriate to say that it contains no parables, as that is evidently a matter of opinion and dispute: the article says "Most scholars consider John not to contain any parables... Some scholars, however, find some such parables in the Fourth Gospel..." StAnselm (talk) 00:28, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- ALT1:
... that the Gospel of John is the most theological of the four canonical gospels, containing structured discourses but, in the opinion of most scholars, no parables as in the synoptic gospels?
-
- @StAnselm: I believe ALT1 solves this issue. Jujutsuan (Please notify with {{re}} talk | contribs) 01:22, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

I like that a lot, and I just added refs for it. But I would rephrase it like this:
- ALT3:
... that the Gospel of John never mentions the mother of Jesus by name?
- or
- ALT4: ... that the Gospel of John never mentions Jesus' mother Mary by name?
- Jujutsuan (Please notify with {{re}} talk | contribs) 03:36, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Date and length OK. I am going to approve ALT4 as the original is a bit wordy and as for the other ALTs, just because John didn't include it doesn't mean we shouldn't. QPQ done, no close para. No image. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:35, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

The ALT4 hook is not cited inline. Several paragraphs under Comparison with the synoptics and Representations lack at least one citation, per Rule D2. There are also a few tags on sections, but I don't think they are a problem for DYK eligibility. Yoninah (talk) 13:42, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Agreeing with the bot. Long enough, new enough, has no issues with policy; hook is verified by an inline citation; the image is free and adequately illustrates the topic; QPQ checks out.

Looks good. SounderBruce 00:53, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but am confused by the different figures cited for cases of people infected by the parasite. The lead said 120 as of 2014, but the text cites that figure as of 2016, with no source. (I changed the lead to "over 100".) Many figures are bandied about in the text. Could you add an inline cite to each one? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 10:29, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Yoninah, the lead is not required to carry sources. This article's body content is sourced 100%. (you've reviewed my articles before, and know the quality)
- The source for the figure of 120 infections as of 2016 is in the body (ref 4). It is in the sentence following the flag that you placed; FYI this is common practice on WP: If one mentions several facts in a row/ in a paragraph from one source, not every sentence needs to be followed by the source. I removed the citation needed flag and placed a semicolon between the 2 sentences to show they are connected. If you insist, please check the source and place the reference after the sentenm ce you questioned.Wuerzele (talk) 21:49, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Wuerzele: thank you for cleaning up the figures and cites. I added an extra cite (ref 4) to that long sentence, because the facts on both sides of the semi-colon really didn't go together. I just have a question about the meaning of this sentence: As of 2016 transmission appears to be ongoing though, as a case acquired during the summer of 2015 has been reported. If the person acquired the disease in 2015, how does it qualify as a 2016 transmission? Yoninah (talk) 00:47, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth, thanks for trying to move this DYK forward ! I assume you felt the need to compromise (?) - I do not understand why the DYK hook needed changing to ALT1. I replied to SounderBruce to "go ahead" and change the hook according to his opinion. He didnt reply, didnt discuss or argue his point, didnt go ahead and change the hook, even though I reminded him, that I responded.
The ALT1 hook is longer and more difficult to read IMO, i.e. not so much in the spirit of DYK. I think the original hook was better and flowed better. The original hook also is completely correct; adding "since 1965" is unnecessary, because it is an "insider" detail, which is stated in the body for those who are interested in the history of the epidemiology of schisto in Europe (how may general readers care enough about the history of the epidemiology of anything?) Adding "since 1965" doesnt improve/change the correctness of the statement that the Cavu is the site of re-emerging schisto in Europe, a pretty profound story in public health. To add the detail "since 1965" makes the message neither stronger nor weaker. Hence, I would have tolerated it, if SounderBruce had felt strongly about it. Please all consider the original hook.Wuerzele (talk) 22:48, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- There are several things wrong with ALT0. 1) Schistosomiasis is a disease; it can't emerge in a river, but it can affect people who bathe in the river. 2) Once you start talking of "first place" and "reemerging", you have to start thinking of when previous outbreaks occurred and the time scale involved. 3) It makes it sound as if schisto then appeared in other parts of Europe in 2014. 4) Using the word "scenic" is peacocky. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:01, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- It was my understanding that a reviewer shouldn't be proposing the alternate hooks, so I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. As Cwmhiraeth just explained, there were several problems with the initial hook that were fixed in the ALT1 (either eliminated or corrected). It's better to be specific and correct rather than too broad. SounderBruce 05:26, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

- So looking at the Alt hook I would expect more than one local protest to be listed in the article, but it just covers one minior incident. To say "international and local" is factually correct but is also skewered and misrepresents the "90% in favor" portion, it is not balanced so I don't think that qualifies. Main hook - so factually incorrect, yes the article states "90%" but the source states "88%", cannot have a factually incorrect hook passed. MPJ-DK 20:42, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and seems to be free of copyright issues. The image is appropriately licensed. I can't really approve any of the hooks. I would go for ALT4 but the source abstract mentions "A New Theory of the Body" rather than "Treatise on Physiology". ALT0 is not in the article and ALT1 mentions a few months, when in fact he was in Britain for 15 months. In ALT2, I do not know the significance of the "medical bachelorate", and ALT3 I think unsuitable. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:37, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- Good catch on ALT1: I had mistaken it for March the next year. You missed the note about A New Theory of the Body just being an alternate translation from Wylie's? It's the same work, as you can verify by plugging the Chinese name into Google Translate. As for ALT2, I'm not sure why your not understand the MB (which is linked) makes it less interesting of a hook; if you didn't already know this, it's now standard to have medical schooling well past one's bachelorate and I'm not sure licensing boards would accept someone with only undergraduate training anywhere in the US. I'm not sure most Americans are even aware medical bachelorates even exist. (Might be a better hook to not link it directly though... force them to go through the article...) — LlywelynII 13:45, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Well I haven't heard of a medical bachelorate, but as we are talking about a period nearly 200 years ago, I don't think it particularly impressive. Approving ALT4, or if you wanted to use ALT2, I would suggest changing it to ALT2a. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:00, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- ALT2a:... that medical missionary Benjamin Hobson revolutionized Chinese and Japanese medicine despite having only a medical bachelorate?
-
Hi, I came by to promote this, but have some questions. ALT4 is certainly hooky, but I feel it's inaccurate; the article states Hobson's work was "derived" from Cheselden's work, which is certainly acceptable. Calling it "cribbed" implies some sort of deviousness which is not expressed by the (offline) source. Regarding ALT2, he was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Why are you saying he had "only" an MB? It might be better to end the hook before mentioning any degree. Yoninah (talk) 21:03, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Per DYKReviewBot above novelty, length, policy, hook length and QPQ all check out. The hook is interesting and cited, but slightly awkwardly worded. I'd suggest the following alternatives to the nominator:
-
- ALT1 ... that braille editor Kunwar Singh Negi received both the Padma Shri and the Padma Bhushan, two of India's highest civilian awards?
- ALT2 ... that Kunwar Singh Negi translated over 300 books in various Indian languages into braille, and even some from Russian?
- The second is a more interesting fact from the article, in my opinion. Joe Roe (talk) 11:10, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

New reviewer needed for ALT1 and ALT2 hooks. (Since Joe Roe proposed ALT1 and ALT2, he is not eligible to review them.) Also, as the bot is inherently unreliable when it comes to close paraphrasing/copyvio, an independent check of that should be done, as should neutrality checks. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:29, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- Hmmmm! Now that we have gone in loop again to wait for a new reviewer, I think I should have objected to the Alts and insisted that original hook be passed. It isn't that awkwardly worded anyways. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:58, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, it is awkward enough, Dharmadhyaksha. I've struck it. (If you have say "isn't that awkwardly worded", then it's too awkward for DYK.) Sorry. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:28, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- If the proposed hook is awkward, to whatever level, it should be copyedited to make it not-awkward. Joe's ALT1 was one such attempt which simply put the original hook. Why should a new reviewer be needed to verify that same thing which Joe has already done? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:57, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- Dharmadhyaksha, Joe's ALT1 added new facts, "braille editor" and "highest civilian awards", to the mix, so someone else would need to do a new review that includes confirming that these facts are in the article and its sources, and sourced by the end of the sentences in which they appear. (If you're asking why if Joe has made the hook while reviewing he needs to be checked by another reviewer, it's because even the best reviewers sometimes don't do their own checking well and miss things. It's happened to reviewers I respect greatly, and I've made hook errors myself.) And sometimes hooks are awkward in ways that do not make them easily copyedited; what's needed in that case is a revision that perhaps omits a fact or a clause and reorganizes the rest. It isn't always easy to remove awkwardness while retaining all the information of the original. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:11, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- I propose Alt3 below which removes awkwardness from original hook without altering facts. Will that be selected without much ado? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:41, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- ALT3 ... that Kunwar Singh Negi has received Indian civilian awards Padma Shri (1981) and Padma Bhushan (1990)?
-
- Dharmadhyaksha, to me ALT3 is not interesting: I'm sure there are plenty of Indians who have received civilian awards. So without interest, I don't see why the hook would be approved or selected. (A smoother version would be: ALT3a ... that Kunwar Singh Negi received the Indian civilian awards Padma Shri in 1981 and Padma Bhushan in 1990?) You've lost the interesting details, such as braille editor, that these are the highest civilian awards (if they are), and (from your original) why he received the awards. If you have factual objections to Joe's ALT hooks, by all means raise them, but if this is solely because of a potential delay in approval—I see you are a WikiCup competitor, and the current round ends on August 29—it's better to proceed with stronger hooks, even if it may take a little longer and delay the awarding of points to the next round.

Yes, many people receive both awards but this fellow got one in social work and the other one in literature; which was something unique but awkward enough beyond repair to you both. Hence I proposed something simple. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:27, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Not sure what is being nominated for DYK here. The link is to a section in an article which has been around a lot longer then 24 July. The article is just a list of images of flags with no real prose content. Not eligible for DYK - should a different article be linked? Bcp67 (talk) 21:11, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

: New, long enough, but does not cite inline sources. I see that the article is sourced to the CIA World Factbook but it would be beneficial to include a direct link to each relevant page of the factbook so readers can easily access the primary source. The hook is nice and sourced. Axem Titanium (talk) 00:31, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
- User:Axem Titanium Thanks for taking a look at this. Regarding sourcing, every entry contains a link to the article for the country in question, as well as any spin-out articles that address the administrative subdivisions of the country. Although I am aware that one cannot use Wikipedia as a source, I assume that one can rely on the sourcing that exists in any "main articles" that are being cited. But when I checked those articles today, I found (to my chagrin) that a goodly number of them do not source the relevant information. And so I agree that something more is needed here. But I'm not sure that 31 references, each going to a separate sub-page of the same web site, is the best way to go. Instead, I've modified the introduction's mention of the Factbook so as to direct the reader to the article's External Links section. There, I've added three links. Two of them go to the Factbook's web site -- one of the targets has a drop-down box that brings the reader just one click away from the country of interest; the other link goes to a single listing of the administrative subdivisions of every country in the world (thus requiring only that the reader scroll down to the country of interest). The third link is to the ISO site, which also brings the reader one search-box away from the country of interest. I hope you find this an acceptable alternative.

with the hope that you get around to individual citations eventually. Axem Titanium (talk) 20:01, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
There are two major issues with this nomination. The first is that the bold link does not go to the article itself, but rather to a subsection of it. That's not allowed at DYK; it has to be the main article. And the other is that the individual sections are not referenced. You can always appeal this on the DYK talk page, but I've never seen a list article that had no individual source citations except for in only one paragraph in the article body, and that seems to run afoul of WP:DYKSG#D2: The article in general should use inline, cited sources. A rule of thumb is one inline citation per paragraph, excluding the intro, plot summaries, and paragraphs which summarize other cited content. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:46, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

All checks out for 1st hook, which I prefer, except the next point. I can confirm the "copyvios" are ok, except for "expected,[2][4] but not to the degree of intensity that actually occurred." In the source "expected" is a quote, the rest apparently the reporter's words. This needs tidying somehow. Article reads nicely.

- In Prep 5, DYK Kalanemi, which was created on July 19, 2016, and nominated 21 July 2016 (UTC). The bot review was done that same day, but the human review was done August 9 - 24 by multiple editors.
- DYK Kalanemi (Ramayana) was spun off verbatim from the other one on July 25, 2016, and with a few smaller edits, but it is mostly text forked from the original article. See Talk:Kalanemi. It has not had a full review.
@Dharmadhyaksha: What that means, is that the bot review done July 21, is now invalid to some degree. The DYK rules state may not consist of text spun off from a pre-existing article. and also The content with which the article has been expanded must be new content, not text copied from other articles The way I see the rules, the second article is not eligible for DYK.

- I can't see much duplicated text, though I didn't look that closely. Gatoclass (talk) 16:05, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

- It's not copy and paste. More cut and paste. The editor cut it from the first nominated article, and created a new article by pasting the cut text to it. — Maile (talk) 16:10, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Was the count considered for the original article or in place when the review was approved? Seems like if the review was done starting August 9 then this was already moved? If that's correct then I have less of a problem with it, especially since the split off was done less than 7 days after article creation and was done after a talk page discussion, not just for the heck of it. MPJ-DK 16:29, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Text which is less than seven days old isn't counted if duplicated in another article. The other article should simply have a minimum of 1500 bytes of new text. See supplementary rule A5. Gatoclass (talk) 16:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

-
- It should be noted that the nominator Dharmadhyaksha was acting properly and documenting everything about it. The original nomination, now on the main page, is not in question. But what happened, is that the bot clocked it in as 7684 characters, and it is currently at 4806 characters. So, the original article maintains eligibility. 2953 characters of the other article was pasted into the new article after the bot checked the character count. The current new article is 3539 characters. I guess the question is whether or not the new article should be a 5X expansion, or if we accept the cut and paste as a newly created article. When, in fact, most of it was from the original character count of the first article. — Maile (talk) 16:44, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

-
-
- Per WP:DYKSG#A5: New text seven days old or less can only count toward the 1500 character minimum in one article; if it is duplicated in other nominated new articles, it is ignored for the purpose of character count. Since the original article is plenty long enough without the moved material (it was fully reviewed on August 9, after the move had occurred), as is this one, and the split occurred six days after the original article was created, then I would expect them both to be eligible as new articles. Is there some reason why this rule would not apply? People looking at Kalanemi, the original article which is at this moment on the main page, will not see any of the moved Kalanemi (Ramayana) material. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:17, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

A manual count of the size should be done where the repeated text should be removed. If that's not 1500 it should not be passed at the moment, if the count is under 500 characters of new then I say it should be closed completely IMO. But as someone who had to put the work in to ensure "repeated text" is only counted in 1 DYK I fully agree this should not just pass muster. Even if it would qualify timing wise the fact that it was already counted towards another DYK is why we have to look at only the new text. MPJ-DK 16:07, 24 August 2016 (UTC)(incorrect assumption)

, the article is new (created on 31 July) and long enough. It is really interesting, covering a not universally known subject. Hook fact is correct and it is verified by an inline citation. My concern is that I found an example of close paraphrasing in a sentence referring to a source that can be read online. I suggest that the text should carefully reviewed by the nominator, because most sources cited in the article cannot be read online. My example of close paraphrasing is the third sentence under the first subtitle ("It purports to describe the exemplary advice offered by various ministers to Burmese sovereigns from the late 14th century to the early 18th century"), which is almost identical with the text of the cited work (Lieberman 1983).

- First of all, I like that ALT and I made a small research. So the local council existed since 1950 at the earliest (accroding to the only English source) and at some point, the local council, including both places, had 4,000 residents (which brought me to the conclusion it turned into a town, which apparently was not supported by sources, although probably happened) and in 1967 the moshava left the local council.

These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hooks are cited inline and either could be used. The articles are neutral and do not seem to contain close paraphrasing. I have added "U.S." to ALT1 to be on the safe side because claims of "first" come up for close scrutiny these days. I accept the claim in ALT0 in good faith but have not checked it through other means. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:16, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Sgerbic Dustinlull This article is long enough (17091 characters), new enough (moved from sandbox on Aug 5, nominated Aug 6), and written neutrally. There are two lengthy block quotes which elevated the copyvio score. The text without the block quotes appears to contain no copy vio issues. The quotes, arguably, support the page by giving direct examples to the alternate (non-Christian) prayers cited as invocations at the town council meetings (as Sgerbic mentions on the talk page). They are pertinent to the issue being discussed on the page. Not sure if these should be summarized instead of directly quoted (is there a cut-off length for block quotes?), but could support leaving them in. Sources appear reliable. Images are CC by 3.0. The hook is short enough and interesting. It accurately summarizes the Pensacola event, but I was not able to find an appropriate inline citation.

Article is new enough and barely long enough. Article seems neutral to me and I don't see any BLP issues. Some issues with sources: Where is the Payette name cited from? I see it in source #5 not #1. And speaking of source #5, the text sourced to it contains a CV that I don't see in the source. Also not seeing the "master's degree in public law" anywhere. I think the text of the whole article should say "the Seychelles". Might want to note that she was at Multiple Sclerosis Ireland since 1996. The source seems to say her predecessor was named Fredrick Egonda-Ntende not Martin Stephen Egonda-Ntende, I am concerned by the overlap between the text in source #6 and the article text, see WP:CLOP, as well as this. Both hooks are interesting, neutral and not focused on negative claims on living people, article link needs to be in bold, not sure which one is better, they are sourced in the article and also mentioned there. QPQ wise it seems like you have 6 DYK nominations but the reviewer tool doesn't show any of them; a QPQ is needed thus. File looks pretty but the source link should point to a page where we can see the license; I found it on http://www.seychellesnewsagency.com/articles/3485/Le+prsident+des+Seychelles+nomme+Mathilda+Twomey,+premire+femme,+juge+en+chef+de+la+Cour+suprme.

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: the QPQ issue is not "moot" just because that hook was promoted. The prep builder probably double-checked all the criteria before promoting it.

The last one I did was several years ago)--L1A1 FAL (talk) 22:09, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- The article you nominated, Dystopia, is tagged "needs additional citations for verification" so I could not promote it. Other editors have reformatted your hook to nominate a new article on your behalf, Dystopia (Megadeth album). LavaBaron (talk) 22:01, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Note: I have just fixed the sig in LavaBaron's first post, since its formatting cuts off the middle of the sig through the rest of the page. I've also changed the small text above to read "Improved to Good Article status", but since that line frequently is not correct, it should not be relied on. The standard is DYKcheck (which notes the August 7 GA); the GA icon was even there when eyeballing the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:09, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- That's demonstrably incorrect and a false statement. The GA icon was not on the article linked to in the hook [7]: Dystopia. Our obligation as reviewers is to review what a nominator submits, and that is precisely and exactly what I reviewed - what was submitted in the exact form in which it was submitted. As I am currently under DYK restrictions for failing to review exactly what nominators submit, instead giving leeway to what I think they meant to submit, it would be irreconcilable with the conditions of my restriction to brook any flexibility on this point. An ANI decision imposes on me a requirement of perfection. If perfection is demanded, perfection will be given. And perfection does not permit flexibility. LavaBaron (talk) 21:52, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- @LavaBaron:Nominator here. I apologize for having tagged the article incorrectly (this was supposed to be under GA, rather than 5x expansion/new article obviously). What is the problem with the hook?--L1A1 FAL (talk) 21:45, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
This newly promoted GA is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and I did not detect any policy issues. The main part of the hook is fine, but there does not seem to be an inline citation for "critical failure of their previous album". Perhaps the hook could be rephrased or another one suggested. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:37, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

- How about "After divided critical response to their previous album, Megadeth's 2016 effort Dystopia was well-received by most critics and charted at number 3 on the Billboard 200?" instead? from citation #1 in the "Background" section and citation #54 et al. in the "critical response" section--L1A1 FAL (talk) 18:20, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

I have just fixed this nomination so that it has the proper DYK template and subsidiary templates included, and that the hook has a proper bolded link. However, as I was doing so, the article history was restored, and based on that the article does not appear to be eligible, as it was originally created back on July 23, 2013, and deleted at AfD on August 2, 2013. At this point, it cannot be a new article, because it existed before, and it cannot be a 5x expansion because it was 1978 prose characters before it was deleted and userfied, and it's only 2087 prose characters now. If it should be significantly expanded and improved to the point that it becomes a Good Article, it would be eligible for nomination within seven days of being listed as a GA, so that route is open, if in the future. Other issues:
-
- There was a huge quoted section from one of the sources on the 6 August 2013 FTSB report. Indeed, so much is quoted that it violates Fair Use rules. I have just deleted it. You can always include the relevant information in your own words.
- Three references are bare URLs, which is not allowed under DYK rules. These must be fixed.
- The hook would need further formatting and refining. A standard DYK hook is a single sentence that starts with three dots, a space, and then "that", and ends with a question mark. In addition, the article mentions nothing about "shipped by barge to update New York"; all hook facts must not only be in the article, but sourced by the end of the sentence in which they appear.
- There are issues with the prose: the descriptions are oddly phrased, especially in the introductory paragraph. The article also needs to be updated to reflect subsequent events, such as whether Southwest followed through on the refunds and free tickets. (Depending on what additional information is available, the "Response" section should perhaps be changed to "Subsequent events".)
- Sorry for the bad news. Best of luck with expanding the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:35, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

- I will work on it. However, the first point of being a new article should not disqualify it. 3 years ago, it was deleted. That means gone. If it weren't for me, it would still be dead.

- Hi Kosack, thanks for reviewing the nomination. I've unfortunately not been able to source a better reference. The majority of news articles about her are in Spanish which makes it a bit difficult. I don't think the journalist or Garcia herself would have brought up the tally were it not significant, though. The journalist makes mention of it being her personal best but it's no surprise that a 19-year old is beating her previous tally. I also don't think she would be so presumptuous about the record if it wasn't true or that AS (which is quite a big media house) would have published it if not accurate. What do you think? Liam E. Bekker (talk) 16:21, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

- @Liam E. Bekker: Hi, it's on the borderline in my opinion, could you use Google translate to find a Spanish news article that supports it? Another query I have, the article at 2015–16 Primera División (women) lists her as having scored 16 league goals during that season. Is that a mistake on their part? Kosack (talk) 07:51, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

- Hi @Kosack:, the majority of the edits I've made on her page have been done using Google translate but even so I'm struggling to find a more definitive source. I'll have another look this evening though. I've also asked a few pages devoted to women's football on Twitter if they can assist. Also, I believe 15 is in fact the correct number, not 14 or 16. She only scored once after the interview (against Rayo Vallecano on 5 June) to take it to 15. I manually tallied up all her goals for the season using this source and it comes to 15 too.[1] I have amended the hook and will make the change on hers and the Primera Division pages as well to reflect this. It is worth noting that her 16th goal came in the Copa de la Reina quarter-final against Barcelona. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liam E. Bekker (talk • contribs) 13:41, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

This is not a review, but history of the article.
- This article was created December 23, 2015.
- December 31, 2015, the article was 2921 characters (0 words) "readable prose size"
- It went through AFD and on February 21, 2016 was closed as a redirect to Libertarian Party presidential primaries, 2016.
- On August 8, 2016, as he stated above, LavaBaron recovered this from the redirect.
The rules say it must be "new" text. As far as I can see, LavaBaron met the requirements on that. The article that went through AFD looked more like a campaign flyer for Petersen's candidacy.

The sources are entirely from the BBC – while this is generally a good source it is not ideal for an article to be entirely sourced to one news outlet as articles should be based on multiple independent sources, can other sources be introduced?
- The last section is worded a bit closely to the source, and "was intended to draw hi-tech firms to the South West, giving them a space to bring laboratory ideas to market" is a little close too. Perhaps introducing different information from other sources would help with this. 5x expansion and length are fine, the hook (which I trimmed slightly to make it catchier) is suitably cited.

- Comment; I would not use a specific number. The attached list is grossly incomplete. As I am going through Olympic competitors bios there are at least a dozen I have noticed that are not included in this list. I have far bigger fish to fry during the Olympics so I can't spend the time to update this list in each instance, particularly when BLP sourcing is required. But the number are definitely wrong by being too low. Trackinfo (talk) 18:37, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
Matthew Sands, Richard Feynman

... that Matthew Sands and Robert B. Leighton co-authored Richard Feynman's work The Feynman Lectures on Physics (pictured)?
Improved to Good Article status by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC).
General eligiblity:
- New Enough:
- Sands is ok but Feynman was featured on the main page in 2004 and so seems ineligible for a bold title too. - Long Enough:

| Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |
|---|
|
Hook eligiblity:
- Cited:
- Sands' authorship seems to be supported by citing an interview with him. I'd prefer to see a more independent source as corroboration. - Interesting:
- It seems too pedestrian currently. I'll suggest an ALT.
Image eligibility:
- Freely licensed:

- Used in article:
- The picture of the books does not appear in Sands' article - Clear at 100px:

Overall:
Sorry to be opposing Feynman as a double as he's what attracted me to this nomination. But he doesn't really need any more publicity, does he? Andrew D. (talk) 17:17, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- I tried trimming the original hook to make it work but here's a different one which seems better. It resolves the picture and citation issues but someone else will have to decide if it's more interesting. Andrew D. (talk) 17:31, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
ALT1 ... that Matthew Sands (pictured) persuaded Richard Feynman to accept the Nobel prize?- ALT2: ... that Richard Feynman's work The Feynman Lectures on Physics (pictured) was co-authored by Matthew Sands and Robert B. Leighton?
New review required
- Feynman did appear as TFA in 2004, but the rules only say that Articles that have featured (bold link) previously on DYK, or in a blurb on the main page's In the news, or On this day sections are ineligible. And Feynman has not appeared in DYK or OTD.
- The image does not have to be in all the articles in a multi-article hook, just one; but since the rules say in the first one, I have created an ALT2 hook re-worded so Feynman comes first
- The hook is sourced to Sands in his article, but to Gleick in Feynman's
-
- I suppose that those rules were written when DYKs had to be new or expanded and so it was quite unlikely that an FA would qualify. The intent seems to be that if an article has been given a spot on the main page, it shouldn't get a rerun in DYK. I shall start discussion of this point at WT:DYK. Andrew D. (talk) 08:23, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
Per WP:DYK Articles that have featured (bold link) previously on DYK, or in a blurb on the main page's In the news, or On this day sections are ineligible. (Articles linked at ITN or OTD not in bold, including the recent deaths section, are still eligible.) Both the linked articles are GA eligible. The policy was re-reviewed in 2014, a year after GA became eligible for inclusion into DYK, and it was not changed. It says what it says, and both these articles are eligible. — Maile (talk) 22:10, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Well I don't know about this, because a google search turns up the names of several other women who are said to have received the first patent. You should always test alleged "firsts" with a google search before accepting them. Gatoclass (talk) 13:13, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Rangers signing policy

- Comment: For 10 September (first Old Firm league match in 4 years)
Created by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 08:11, 10 August 2016 (UTC).
I am struggling to verify the "openly" bit. One source says the club did not knowingly sign any Catholics in this period, and another says it did not sign anyone who was a "high profile" Catholic, but neither of these equate precisely to "openly". I would suggest you just drop the word, and change the hook to "not to sign players who were Catholic" which is factually correct while allowing for the possibility that the unwritten rule was not always followed. Gatoclass (talk) 12:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Gatoclass: I have added a new source and changed the wording slightly in the article. If you drop "openly", it is a lot more definative than stating openly Catholic because "openly Catholic" affirms that Catholics may have played for the club had they kept their religion secret which does leave it open more that if you don't include it because that would defiatively say there were no Catholics whatsoever until 1989.

Okay, thanks The C of E. I have noticed another issue with the hook though, which effectively says that the policy ended in 1989, but the situation appears to have been less clear-cut, with an end to the policy suggested by Sourness in 1986 and aspects of the policy remaining in place for some years after '89. So I'm thinking a more nuanced hook might be more appropriate, though I've yet to come up with one. Gatoclass (talk) 07:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Gatoclass: The hook doesn't mention 1989. While Souness implied he wanted to sign a Catholic in 86 and a few anti-Catholic fringe allusions remained in place afterwards, the key part of the policy (which is was this article is about) was that Rangers would not sign a Catholic knowingly and that was ended in 1989. I think the current hook is a good one and I'm happy to stay with it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:22, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

- Huh? Yes, the hook does mention 1989, The C of E. Gatoclass (talk) 07:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

- The C of E, as I'm sure you're aware, DYK currently has a contributor with a penchant for pulling hooks, at times for inaccuracies that others might regard as minor. As I don't want to see any more hooks pulled, particularly from the main page, and I'm sure you don't either, I don't think it can do any harm to try and come up with a hook that eliminates the risk.

- @Gatoclass: Personally I think it is a little wordy, maybe something like: ALT2

- @The C of E:, that has the same issue as the original hook, that it isn't entirely clear that the policy ended in 1989 exactly. If you think my alt is too wordy, the reference to Mo Johnson could be dropped and it could just say something like "remained largely intact between the 1920s and 1980s". Gatoclass (talk) 08:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

-
- The C of E, I don't think I can do the verification now because users are not supposed to verify their own hooks and I've had substantial input on this one. I think I'd prefer to get a second opinion on this in any case. But I will add the agreed-upon hybrid hook:
- ALT3: ... that an unwritten policy of Rangers F.C. to not sign any player who was Catholic remained largely intact between the 1920s and 1980s? Gatoclass (talk) 09:20, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
I should add that I have checked and passed this article in all respects, all it needs now is for somebody to verify the hook. Gatoclass (talk) 12:07, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
OK then, I agreed to that compromise on the grounds that I assumed that you would be approving it. However as you have stepped away, I think it's fair to allow the new reviewer to consider the original (which I still think is better). The C of E God Save the Queen!

The hook about Roman Tmetuchl is sourced to a book published by the Roman Tmetuchl Family Trust. Since this is an incredible (possibly accurate, but still incredible) claim, we'll need a source that better meets NPOV and RS standards. Will hold on rest of review pending that. Also, as per recently pulled hooks, hookishness is subsumed by our need for accuracy so I'd recommend rewording this "a man named Hitler". (Not my personal preference but that seems to be the direction the Bully Brigade is charging this week.) LavaBaron (talk) 23:16, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

-
- Guampedia notes the author's scholarly credentials calls the book "the first research-based biography of a Pacific island leader". As for finding another source, I found this Mother Jones article which mentions one Hitler Demei who was "a felon convicted on several assault-with-a-deadly-weapon charges" (a description which fits the attempted assassin). However, the article investigates the 1985 assassination of Haruo Remeliik and doesn't mention the attempted 1970 assassination. FallingGravity 02:33, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- I'm unfamiliar with Guampedia. Is it RS? LavaBaron (talk) 03:25, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- I believe so. Per its description page: "Content for the website was developed by a slew of professional writers, researchers, cultural specialists and other scholars who provided expertise for putting together information that could be accessed easily by a general audience." Other journals and books use it as a source. FallingGravity 06:01, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

- ALT1:
... that a man named Hitler attempted to assassinate the Palauan politician Roman Tmetuchl after becoming a congressional senator in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands?
-
- ALT1 reads as if Hitler tried the assassination after Hitler himself became a congressional senator. According to the article, Tmetuchl wasn't sworn in as a senator for several months (election in 1970; took office in late January 1971); at the time of the attempted killing he had won the popular vote for his senate seat a few days before, but was not yet a congressional senator. I've struck both hooks; I'm sure a less ambiguous and more accurate wording can be found. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:48, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that Hitler once attempted to assassinate Palauan politician Roman Tmetuchl?
- ALT3: ... that a man named Hitler once attempted to assassinate Palauan politician Roman Tmetuchl?
I've reworked the hooks to just include the basic facts. ALT2 is meant to catch the unsuspecting reader off guard, and ALT3 is more straight-forward. I figure the hook promoter can decide which is more appropriate, though reviewers are welcome to add their opinions like previous reviewers. FallingGravity 22:16, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Article is new enough and barely long enough. Sources appear to be PDFs in Turkish, which I can't read. Which source indicates the budget for its construction? Source #4 indicates 33.5 million in Google Translate. Article needs a bit of a copyedit and grammar cleanup: Turkish construction companies (...) f Bager and HCG is missing something - where I've marked it here as (...). "Non-existing" generally refers to fake, not destroyed objects. I'll probably clean it up myself. The hook is almost too long and also needs grammar cleanup. It is cited inline to reliable sources, though. QPQ is done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:03, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

- @Jo-Jo Eumerus: Thanks for your review and comment. I've removed ref #4 from the sentence, which caused confusion, and modified the budget cost figure. Ref #3 is accurate since the source is from the General Directorate of Highways (Turkey) (KGM), which was responsibke for the bridge's construction. I've fixed typo with (...), and reworded "non-existing" to "no more existing". The hook is with its length of 188 chars under the 200-chars limit. However, I'll welcome any alt suggestion. My apologize for grammar errors, and will be grateful for copyediting. CeeGee 03:06, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

- When George Will says, "If Donald Trump were a Democratic mole placed in the Republican Party to disrupt things, how would his behaviour be any different? I don't think it would be" [11], he's not saying he actually believes Trump is a mole.
- Here's the Washington Post re Bush:

- It sounds like something from “House of Cards”: Politician A enters into a secret alliance with Politician B — a loose-tongued rival from another party with the chutzpah, the cash and the power to play the spoiler — to ensure Politician A’s election. Now, anyone living inside the Beltway can testify that Washington isn’t organized enough to work that way. But after GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump said he would deny Muslims entry to the United States — and, faced with the condemnation of Republicans in Congress, indicated he might be considering running as an independent, a move that could elect a Democrat — one of Trump’s rivals tweeted out the Grand Trump-Clinton Conspiracy Theory. “Maybe Donald negotiated a deal with his buddy @HillaryClinton,” Jeb Bush tweeted. “Continuing this path will put her in the White House.” ...

- There’s no doubt that Trump is a hand grenade launched into the middle of a crowded Republican field... But is his refusal to flame out really the result of high-level machinations among Trump, a former president and the Democratic presidential front-runner — a former first lady, U.S. senator, and secretary of state? Probably not — but it sure is fun to speculate about it, as many have in recent months. Here’s a look at the “evidence”...
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Your source for Kaptur quotes her thus: "There are some theories on the Internet that this is Bill Clinton’s best political deal, that he and Donald are buddies, and they have a lot of similar friends in New York, and he has masterfully selected a friend who maybe by October will say, ‘You know, this is very boring. And I’m going to get out.’ Do I believe it 100 percent, do I believe it 2 percent? You know, you really wonder."
-
- None of this is "publicly stated belief in the theory", not even "to varying degrees", any more than Swift was actually suggesting that Irish families should sell their children to be eaten by aristocrats. Your fourth example, Curbelo, might really be asserting it, but it's hard to tell in the context of the BBC story, which reports all of this with a touch of whimsy. And I remind you this is a BLP matter.
-
-
-
-
- On top of that, the article's statement that, "The theory first gained public attention in a July 2015 blog post by Justin Raimondo" is not supported by the source, which says that "Last August, this 'false flag' theory was explored in depth by Gawker, which pointed to AntiWar.com proprietor Justin Raimondo as the originator of the idea" in July 2015. All this says is that Raimonda apparently originated the idea, not that it came to public attention in any significant way at that time. If anything, based on what the source says, the real public attention came with Gawker's coverage in August (but even that's not clear).

- Yes, and that's why the article says "persons who have publicly stated belief in the theory to varying degrees include" not "people who have declared absolute belief in the theory include ..." Believe it or not, every word has a meaning behind it and is carefully selected to construct an accurate sentence, I'm not just having a Scrabble lottery. To your second point, I consider 400 tweets, including by the editor of the Wall Street Journal, to constitute "wide public attention" within the general meaning of the sources. Does the source exactly use the words "wide public attention?" No. We don't copyvio text from sources, articles are a combination of synthetic compression and paraphrasing. We strive toward concise accuracy in a summarized fashion, not exact reproductions of text. WP entries are the art of the journalistic précis, they are not scholarly articles. There is a difference in construction between the two, but one is not better than the other.
- All that said, I don't want to use DYK review space to carry-on conversations so I'm afraid I won't be able to respond to your posts here unless you're offering a review. If you're providing a review, let me know by posting a Pass, Hold, or Fail tick, and present your DYK-criteria based suggestions for improvement succinctly and logically and I will respond with appropriate edits to the article to bring it up to DYK standards. But this is an active working space, not a cigar club and, unfortunately, my time is finite and I have to allocate it to responding to concerns raised by reviewers, not just passers-by. I'm sorry, this is not a personal slight, just a resource-management issue. LavaBaron (talk) 02:13, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

- Just came across this DYK. I have to wonder about whether the article is neutral - the article is listing proponents and arguments for the theory, but are there really no sceptics or conflicting arguments?

- I agree with EEng. This started as a joke and gets repeated tongue-in-cheek more often than it gets told with any credulity. That, unfortunately, explains why there's no critical or skeptical commentary; who wants to debunk a joke? IMHO, this article should be AfD'd, and be added as a section to a future article on conspiracy theories surrounding this election. Also, it should begin by noting that it was intended as (and often seen as) a joke, not a serious belief. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 14:23, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

- The idea comes up in this recent article as part of a longer discussion of whether Trump is trying to lose. Maybe a focus on that, with the deliberate Clinton plant angle included as a sub-section, would work? Also, I haven't done a full review but if I did, it would include that work is needed including on EEng's point about the representation of proponents of the theory. EdChem (talk) 15:33, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

- Keeping in mind that being a plant as part of a conspiracy is quite different from just plain trying to lose at this point (e.g. because he's an asshole dilettante who's just decided it's too much trouble and/or wants to raise his brand recognition or sell some books or has a megalomaniac plan to start a civil war when his crazed followers rise up after "voter fraud" causes him to lose in a landslide).

- Since you insist on bringing it up, if you honestly can't see the difference between your slipshod dillatantisms and comprehensive, scrupulously researched articles such as Phineas_Gage, Widener_Library, Sacred_Cod, Lionel_de_Jersey_Harvard, Andrew_M._Gleason, and John_Harvard_(statue) then, well... that explains a lot.

The article is (just) long enough, and although it is short, it has more than ten times the readable prose in the pre-expansion version. Review has been done, article is neutral, well-sourced and interesting. A couple of sources (the CAMRA and Telegraph ones) appear to have some additional information which could be added to the article, but good work in expanding a very short stub.

The only problem I see is the copyright status of the image.

The nomination is good to go. I found the image online in context here, as opposed to just this, and the website confirms it was published in Chicago in 1896.

Article is new enough and long enough. Is "trains at" (text) the same as "is a member of" (source)? Also not sure if "professional athlete" is adequately sourced. Where is the "Fanny Blankers - Koen Games" sourced from? "Was recorded a time" is ungrammatical. Sources seem reliable enough and no neutrality issues visible. No evidence of copyvio/plagiarism.

- [13] says "As Scotland's Andrew Butchart prepares to board the plane for the Rio Olympics, the Dunblane distance runner enjoyed a final training session with his coach Derek Easton and his training group at Central Athletic Club at the University of Stirling." which clearly indicates he trains at the club.

I am concerned with both hooks; they seem to try and fit in as much as they can, rather than provide a clear topic. Furthermore they are both written with what seems to be a present continuous tense, which feels odd for an annual event and with details covering the 2015 instance.- Regarding the article I have concerns about how the sources are being interpreted. Many sources do not equate the Isha Gramotsavam 1:1 with "the Rural Olympics, as this article (and the hooks) do. Instead, they note the rural Olympics as part of the wider events, with two sources in the lead saying "the Rural Olympics, part of the Isha Gramotsavam" and "As a part of Gramotsavam, a rural Olympics was organised". Instead, many sources cited highlight the non-sport attractions as well, something this article does not do. Inline citations should also be in the correct places, and the cites relevant. The citation on specific alcohol statistics and the diabetes source for example seem very out of place, and do not link to the Isha Gramotsavam. Some of the other sources do mention these, but never in such detail. Generally, statements by prominent individuals also seem to be imported with much more weight in the article than the sources give them, as official positions and aims rather than the ideas of particular individuals.
- On a different topic, I would like clarification on the copyright regarding the Sachin and Sadhguru image. The metadata reports the image was made using photoshop, which implies some editing rather than being taken directly from a camera.
- Overall the topic however sounds like a good one for DYK, and it meets most DYK requirements. I think the article could be improved and a hook created with a little more work. CMD (talk) 23:54, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- Looking into it further the article does seem to have taken some lead from a small paragraph on Action for Rural Rejuvenation. It appears to be slightly over 5x that, but close enough to cause concern given the unrelated medical prose. CMD (talk) 00:14, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- I've given an Alt 2 hook that should address the hook concerns. I've edited the article as per the suggestions here. Can you point out where the cites are in the wrong places. As far as I could make out, I placed them in the relevant places. I have also cut down on the medical issues and given news stories covering the event as resources. I've reoriented the article as a cultural event, and the rural sports are a part of that event. I've made mention of the cultural aspects in the lead para and the Background & objectives section.

New enough (moved to main space August 22) and long enough. Tone is neutral, and citation density is good. Sources are limited, but this is to be expected for a fairly narrow topic. Earwig's raises no copyvio concerns. Both hooks are within length constraints and cited. Neither seems especially attention-grabbing, as I would assume most colleges of the time had similar pranks and events, but we're only talking about a 7-year window in the history of a larger university, so it's probably as good as can be done with limited material. I would favor ALT0 over ALT1, as it is slightly more "hook-y". QPQ was done. No images associated with either hook, so no concerns there. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 16:22, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

This has been pulled from prep after it was pointed out by Black Kite at WT:DYK that it contains a good amount of poor English and grammar and also contains a large of amount of unsourced statements including some that cast aspersions on people. I read over the article, and also had trouble with the grammar: antecedents are confusing, a number of sentences are oddly constructed: in short, it needs a thorough copyedit.

Skylanders: Imaginators
... that 2016's Skylanders: Imaginators will be the first game to feature PlayStation mascot Crash Bandicoot since 2010 mobile game Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2?
Moved to mainspace by AdrianGamer (talk). Self-nominated at 11:49, 18 August 2016 (UTC).

I'm afraid the hook is not good, for two reasons; first, the article does not mention that Crash is the/a Playstation mascot, meaning the hook makes at least one claim not in the article. Second, and more importantly, the hook is wrong, or at least not supported by the cited source, which says that "Crash appeared in a particularly high-profile Sony cameo earlier this year, but the last game he had to himself was Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 for iPhone in 2010." As such, it is not the first game to feature Crash since Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2, as he had a "high profile cameo" in Uncharted 4. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:39, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that selected imaginators, characters created by players through Skylanders: Imaginators's creation mechanic will be printed out by 3D printers and sold alongside proper Skylanders toys?

- I'm still not keen, I'm afraid. The "would be" creates a rather odd tense, and I don't know what an "imaginator" is. I've been playing video (and other) games for decades, so I suspect if I don't know what it is, lots of readers won't. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:40, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

- Reviewing the first hook I notice that the source lists "age 7" while the article lists "age 10" for when Fogel started hanging around the club? I know it is not in the hook but the discrepancy stood out to me since it's in the source for the hook.
ALT0 - So I read the source and I cannot totally reconcile it with the main hook. The source states "Countless hours of dedication organ at Wonder Gardens in Atlantic City where he was the house band with classmate drummer Harvey Mason (formally with Herbie Hancock – 'Maiden Voyage') now with 'FOURPLAY'. Two years later Fogel emerged, made his debut and splashed into the scene like a tidal wave" - which I assume is where the "at age 13" hook is sourced to? when I read "where he was the house band" I took it as he was part of the house band for two years before being actually featured? that says nothing about his age as far as I can see?
ALT0 - I see the Commodore claim cited, I don't see a direct citation for George Benson? The claim for Fogel and Mason is from a Fogel himself, since it's not really a contentious claim I think a primary source is okay in this case. But the inclusion of George Benson does neet a source.

This is new enough (GA promotion on Aug 22) and certainly long enough. QPQ is completed as indicated. Article appears neutral and free of BLP violations. The first proposed hook is supported by an offline source - a published book - which I obviously don't have immediate access to and, in any event, might not be scholarly in nature. Hook 2 is more interesting to me and seems better supported. I approve as to ALT2 but would be OK, in good faith, with the primary suggested hook if EchetusXe so indicates before promotion.

The article has been expanded 5x. There needs to be an explicit citation after the information that states he initiated the One Village movement. I would consider rewording the hook. The placement of "when" could cause it to be read as "when governor" or "when he initiated the movement" which are two different things, the latter not being a complete sentence. I think it might be best to say when he was governor or when serving as governor or that as governor just to make it a little more clear. No copyvio detected. Neutral POV.

This article is new enough, having been created on 24 August 2016. It only just meets the length criteria; it is currently 1,560 characters after the section headers, bibliography and references are excluded. Every paragraph has a citation, but there are claims in the lead which are unsourced and not repeated below, so they require verification. The lead is vague, for example, he is a professor of economics at the university, not just an "economist" there. Saitama is a city of one million people and the capital of Saitama Prefecture so describing it as a suburb of Tokyo is inaccurate; in any event, that is tangential to the subject and a link to the university is all that is required. The "otaku" sub-section belongs in the otaku article, not here. There is scant information of a biographical nature, e.g. where he was born, where he went to school, etc. As a university professor with regular television appearances this information should be easy to find. In short, this article is not at a level that can be featured on the main page and needs some more work before it can be reconsidered. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 05:52, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Is there any problem? Ref #2 says the number of members is 25,841 and not 22,659, the number of stakes 3 instead of 8, 90 congregations and not 83. I cannot find the reference date "6 April 2013" anywhere. Please recheck and advise also if I'm wrong. The higher copyvio rates reported by "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" are resulting from the long title of the church only. The rates have to be ignored. The hook is interesting and well formatted.

Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 21:12, 26 August 2016 (UTC)- AKS.9955, DYK requires a minimum of 1500 prose characters, which does not include tables, bulleted lists, blockquotes, etc. The article is currently 1472 prose characters according to DYKcheck, which is the gold standard for determining DYK article length. You may wish to start using it, since your current method is not accurate. Please continue expanding the article, as it is not yet long enough. Thank you.

- Hello BlueMoonset, I am aware about the requirements. The eligibility criteria reads "Articles must have a minimum of 1,500 characters of prose (ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, and tables etc.)". It does not mention anything about bulleted lists. Besides, what we read under the section Mission highlights is not a typical list but are the summarized highlights. I am only going by the DYK rules and trust this will be in order. Please let me know what you think. Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 05:48, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry, AKS.9955, but a bulleted list is a form of list, and what you quoted above has "lists" in what is ignored in the DYK count. You need to get to 1,500 excluding all that other material. It shouldn't be that difficult, since the infobox contains information not in the article proper, such as the end of mission information, which ought also to be in the article and sourced. If you want the Mission highlights section to count, then you should convert it to prose; as long as it's in a list, it will not count. I am troubled, however, by some errors in the text, and overreliance on pre-mission information. For example, the "pre-flight prediction of covering overall distance of 827 kilometres" (which is also problematic from a grammatical standpoint) is simply wrong. The flight needed to get to an altitude of 827 kilometres in order to insert the satellite into low earth orbit, but it traveled a great many more kilometres than that to get that high (it didn't go straight up). How far did it travel? Did it actually reach the predicted 827 kilometres? What was the eventual orbit of the satellite? Of the remaining stage of the rocket (in the "graveyard" mentioned in the infobox)? The article should be plenty long enough once you've addressed these issues.

The article is newly expanded from a redirect, and easily meets the size requirements.

The article looks good. It's in the eligible time frame and it looks to pass everything. Offline source accepted in good faith. I much prefer the first hook as it strikes as it's interesting to me, as someone who has passing knowledge of Star Trek, and the Data hook reference directly says "This is, unless I'm mistaken, the only episode in which Data doesn't appear" which is a little shaky. At any rate, the rest of it looks fine. (Note, I expanded two contractions that weren't in quotations in the article. Very minor edit.) ~Cheers, TenTonParasol 19:28, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Good 2 go review by— Maile (talk) 14:22, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Miyagawa "Fascinating...." Really. I started to read it to review here, but it needs work first. As noted by the edit history, I started to correct what I believe to be minor errors, but there are many. I only got as far as the end of the section "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and the first season. The errors I did not correct, as far as I got, were:
- "Actors who read for the part included Victor Lundin, and both Rex Holman and Miguelito Loveless were considered." - Miguelito Loveless was a fictional character on The Wild Wild West.
- "were concerned that views would not wish to associate with an alien character" - Did you mean "viewers"?
- "He had partially convinced that it would have been preferable to have perminent plastic surgery" - Convinced whom? Also, typo therein.
- I would be more than happy to complete the review on this Fascinating article, but I would like you to first go back through this and copyedit what needs to be corrected. Also, I ran the Earwig tool, and it came up with a high rate of copyvio. The first three I checked were a "false positive" in that what it flagged as a copyvio were actually quotes. I haven't checked the others on the Earwig results. Please go back through the article and see what needs to be fixed. I really love that you wrote this, and hope you work it up to FAC. When you're done, ping me and I'll come back and finish the review. — Maile (talk) 21:06, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Maile66: Thank you for the kind words. The Loveless thing is what I get for not watching The Wild Wild West and failing to recognise the difference between the name of the actor and the character in the source. Needless to say, I've swapped them over now. I've gone through and conducted a further copyedit on the article. I recognise that there are still gaps - I can spot that I haven't mentioned mind melds, or the Vulcan nerve pinch yet, nor anything on The Animated Series. I'm probably not going to try for GAN until after the anniversary yet, but I ran forward with this as I figured it'd create the possibility of a Spock image on the front page for the anniversary itself through DYK.

- Earwig's Copyvio Detector returned mostly "false positive" in that it shows article quotes, character names and titles as copyvios. One issue was identical wording of part of a sentence that was not in quotes, so I changed it myself and resolved the issue.
- Labs Dup Detector run on each source shows no issues of concern
- Dab solver (Disambig links tool) says there are no disambiguation links in the article
This article passes with the above required two reviews, and I will now move it to the holding area. Here's to Walter Koenig, a man who really knows his way around "nuclear wessels"! — Maile (talk) 21:52, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Steven W. Carabatsos
- ... that Gene Roddenberry pranked Steven W. Carabatsos on his first day on Star Trek, by inflating a weather balloon in his office?
-
- ALT1:... that Steven W. Carabatsos "[took] a chainsaw" to the script of "The City on the Edge of Forever", according to Harlan Ellison?

- Comment: I think Ellison used the phrase "took a chain-saw to it" as a figurative expression; I doubt Carabatsos actually cut the script with a chainsaw. Miyagawa, if you really want to use ALT1, perhaps we can put the phrase "took a chainsaw" in quotation marks? -- Notecardforfree (talk) 07:34, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Article is new enough, and long enough. It is neutrally written, cited inline to reliable sources (AGF on the ones I cannot access) and free of any copyvios that I can find. The hooks are in the article and cited inline, once again AGF on source. QPQ complete. Personally, I prefer the original hook, but there is no problem with the ALT, so I leave it up to the promoter.

- As the article says, film editor Don Rode. However, I didn't feel this was needed for the DYK hook since that name would be unknown to Trekkies and non-fans alike. Would this alt be better:
-
ALT1 ... that staff could not re-use old footage during the third season of Star Trek, as according to a security guard, it had been taken by Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett for Lincoln Enterprises?

- How about
-
ALT2 ... that when a third-season Star Trek film editor sought old footage for reuse in an upcoming episode, he was told that Lincoln Enterprises had transported it out of the storage vault?

Full review still needed by human reviewer. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:21, 14 August 2016 (UTC)- Human being checking i, I agree with the bot assessment and I will look at the other issues that a bot cannot check for. MPJ-DK 22:47, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Miyagawa: a couple of issues with the hook.- The hook says "Lincoln Enterprises" removed it, the article states "Rodenberry and Barrett" and that's what is sourced in the article. In fact there is no asertion in the article that the film was sold afterwards, just that it was removed to prevent destruction, that's not the same thing. So hook is not actually in the article as stated.
- Also at the time it would not have been known as "Lincoln Enterprises" but as "Star Trek Enterprises" right?
-
- Once these issues have been addressed I'd be happy to review again. MPJ-DK 22:55, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
-
- Ok, struck Alt2 and made the article more explicit about the sales thing. The Lincoln/Star Trek moniker is problematic as I haven't been able to nail down a source which states when the name was actually changed, only that it was. The problem is that Roddenberry's rather revisionist view of history (in which Bjo Trimble never ran the company on her own, despite everyone else saying that she did). So perhaps to get around that, I could suggest this as a different format/direction for the hook (although I want to call her a superfan - she's credited with saving Star Trek, and even now is a speaking guest at the official conventions in Las Vegas):
-
ALT3 ... that as part of the efforts to see Star Trek renewed for a third season, fan Bjo Trimble created the company that would later become Lincoln Enterprises?Miyagawa (talk) 07:49, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hmm there is the statement in the artice of a possible differet origin of the "Star Trek Enterprises" company? MPJ-DK 20:50, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- I can't believe you're giving up so easily on the transporter (Star Trek) joke. But there are disappointments in every hooker's career, I suppose. EEng 23:49, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Miyagawa: - any progress on this? Since the article itself offers another possible origin (outside of the "Roddenbery Rewrite") I think the hook would be problematic. I think the fact that it was launched selling actual props from the sets is the most interesting part, there has got to be some gold to be mined in that subject that is also sourced? MPJ-DK 00:33, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

-
- Sorry, I missed the initial message from the 18th. How about switching back to that - the concern about it was the Star Trek/Lincoln name in use at the time. So how about:
-
- ALT4
... that old footage could not be re-used during the third season of Star Trek, as according to a security guard, it had been taken by Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett, and was later sold as film clips by Lincoln Enterprises?
- ALT4
-
- So let's get this one completed, full review
-
- As the bot has already verified - age, size, general sourcing is covered, I see no copyvio issues either. QPQ checks out (and has already run)
- It reads well, the hook is cited in the article (AGF on the source since I do not have access to the book) and it is neutral
- The article does not give a clear date of when they moved from Star Trek Enterprises to Lincoln Enterprises - almost reads like it started out as Lincoln E, then Start Trek E, then back to Lincoln Enterprises?
has been earned on this one Miyagawa, Not sure if we actually have more hooks than slots for September 8?? MPJ-DK 22:49, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Very sorry, MPJ-DK, Miyagawa, but ALT4 clocks in at 223 characters, far too long for DYK. I've struck it. If you aren't going with ALT3 (which hasn't been struck but perhaps should have been?), then it needs to be short enough. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:14, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
-
-
- Let's try: ALT5 ... that after Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett transported some old Star Trek footage from a film vault, it was sold as film clips by Lincoln Enterprises? Any good? Miyagawa (talk) 08:30, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- 150 characters long and I will have some faith in the intelligence of our readers to know that they did not litterally "beam them out" of the vault. The two facts (removed film, later sold) are both supported by inline citations. MPJ-DK 10:40, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sure EEng will be ecstatic that the "transported" joke is back, but I think the wikilink to the Trek transporter is unnecessary and a step too far, so I have removed it. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:47, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Star Trek: Enterprise
- ... that Scott Bakula (pictured center) was the only actor considered to play Jonathan Archer in Star Trek: Enterprise?

- Bot seems to be picking up some of the images as paragraphs and failing to find citations for them, and the copyright violation appears to be simply the titles of the various Star Trek series. Miyagawa (talk) 11:18, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Way to kill the franchise Bakula! In all seriousness. Date and length fine. I can't clear the original as it doesn't say he was the only one necessarily considered at least not in the way I read it, maybe the hook could be made clearer in the article. Alt2 seems more about Armstrong, not ENT. Therefore I approve ALT1 but the original can be used if it is made clearer in the article. QPQ done. No close para (despite the autoreview).
