Instructions for nominators[edit]

Shortcut

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 or it became a good article (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).

If this is your first nomination, please read the DYK rules before continuing:
Official DYK criteria: DYK rules and supplementary guidelines
Unofficial guide: Learning DYK

To nominate an article[edit]

Read these instructions completely before proceeding.
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 {{NewDYKnomination/guide}} for further information.

  • Not every line of the template needs to be filled in. For instance, if you are not nominating an image to appear with your hook, there is no need to fill in the image-related lines.
  • Add an edit summary e.g. "Nominating YOUR ARTICLE TITLE for DYK" and click Save page.
  • Make sure the nomination page is on your watchlist, so you can follow the review discussion.
III.

In the current nominations section find the subsection for the date on which the article was created or on which expansion began (or, if a new Good Article, the date on which it became a GA), not the date on which you make the nomination.

  • At the top of that subsection (before other nominations already there, but below the section head and hidden comment) add {{Did you know nominations/YOUR ARTICLE TITLE}}.
  • Add an edit summary e.g. "Nominating YOUR ARTICLE TITLE for DYK" and click Save page.

How to review a nomination[edit]

Main page: Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide

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:

    Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.

    If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a line :* <!-- 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 nomination you submitted to this nominations page, it may have been approved and is on the approved nominations page waiting to be promoted. It could also have been added to one of the prep areas, promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.

If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the DYK discussion page, but as a general rule such nominations 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.
  • Hooks that have been approved are located on the approved nominations page.
  • 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 {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • change |passed= to |passed=yes
    • Add an edit summary, e.g. "Promoted to Prep 3", preview, and save

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 {{DYKsubpage with {{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 should have been 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.
    • Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
  • Add a transclusion of the template back to this page so that reviewers can see it. It goes under the date that it was first created/expanded/listed as a GA. You may need to add back the day header for that date if it had been removed from this page.
  • 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.

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.

The Great Seljuks: Guardians of Justice

Improved to Good Article status by Limorina (talk). Self-nominated at 08:25, 27 March 2021 (UTC). Review comments to Chidgk1 please as Limorina has now retired from Wikipedia according to their user page

  • No, you have to link and bold the article in each hook. Also, neither of these hooks are particularly interesting or unusual. It isn't strange for a government official to visit a major production and actors probably celebrate birthdays on set all the time. (t · c) buidhe 14:26, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
  • I think there's some potential in ALT3 but right now it needs to have some grammatical fixes. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:34, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
  • The Turkish word "plato" does mean "plateau" in geography but here it means "set". I submit the following - but fear it will be assassinated due to exclamation marks! Chidgk1 (talk) 18:03, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment Perhaps "plato" could be translated as backlot? Chidgk1 11:23, May 12, 2021
  • @Limorina: and/or @Buidhe: - hope you are well - let me know if you would like me to continue with this Chidgk1 (talk) 18:34, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
  • I think that ALT4 is an in-universe hook, which is not allowed by our rules. (t · c) buidhe 18:40, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment. I agree that the hooks are not very interesting. Might I suggest that the name of the film be given in English, and I suggest a plot based hook. How about;
Alt 5 ... that the 2020 Turkish historical drama The Great Seljuks: Guardians of Justice tells the story of Malik-Shah I's struggle against Hassan-i Sabbah, leader of the Order of Assassins?4meter4 (talk) 20:24, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
@Limorina: and/or @Buidhe: - hope you are well - Alt 5 looks good to me - can we go with that? Chidgk1 (talk) 19:38, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
  • I like Alt 5. Just saying. --evrik (talk) 22:27, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg As it seems the issues with the nomination have been resolved. I am relisting this for review. --evrik (talk) 22:35, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
  • If this is being DYK nominated on the basis of passing GA, I would like to see a GAR before it goes anywhere (first order: move to official English title). If it was also 5x expanded within timeframe, switch the nom to that and we can proceed. Alt 5 is PLOT, more hook suggestions needed, though fixing the English of some of the original hook proposals could work. Kingsif (talk) 23:21, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
Perhaps a reworded version of ALT3? ALT3a ... that the production of the film Uyanış: Büyük Selçuklu employed 350 décor employees, 100 carpenters and a team of 60 people? It's not a great hook but it seems to be the best option among the ones proposed so far, unless someone could think up of a better hook fact. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:03, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
We'd have to find out what a "décor employee" is, and what that extra 60 person "team" is doing, before approving that. I was thinking of the birthday one - assuming this is recent, why would a whole family be invited to a COVID set for a birthday? Kingsif (talk) 05:26, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

OK guys as @Limorina:'s user page says they have retired (feel free to take it back if you wish Limorina - otherwise I hope you enjoy your retirement) as discussed on my talk page I hereby take over the role of editor responding to reviewers comments. I will respond to the above - hopefully soon - and is anyone willing to be the reviewer? Chidgk1 (talk) 12:15, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Thanks for useful suggestion - I hereby switch the nomination to 5X expanded Chidgk1 (talk) 12:28, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

@Kingsif: I don't see any problem with ALT5 - it is not really giving away the plot so I don't think it is a spoiler. I have not watched any of it yet but the mention of the assassins makes me more interested. Are you taking on the role of reviewer? If not whoever is the reviewer - are you happy with ALT5? Chidgk1 (talk) 12:49, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

It's not a spoiler, it's just only PLOT - it says "X tells the story of Y". Most works tell the story of something, so it's an empty hook. There's nothing about the real world. If you want me as reviewer, I would call this nom no hope and close it as a "no"; it wasn't 5x expanded in the 7 days before nom and the GA status is dubious at best, so I don't think it even qualifies, but even then the article isn't good and the hooks are nonsense or empty. Kingsif (talk) 12:58, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Oh sorry I misread your comment about 5X and did not see the "If". I won't be offended if you or anyone else wants to do a GAR - if it does not take too much time I will attempt to defend it as GA - but will abandon if too much work. Meanwhile I hereby switch back to "good article" as the basis. I don't mind who reviews so long as it is clear who that is. Chidgk1 (talk) 13:08, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
To be on the safe side it probably does need a GAR. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:15, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

As I am representing the author I cannot be a reviewer - thanks for all your helpful edits and comments - would anyone like to officially be the reviewer? Chidgk1 (talk) 07:17, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Created by LouisAlain (talk) and Gerda Arendt (talk). Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 10:50, 5 May 2021 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, no copyvio, hook verified, image is fine. BUT there are a few things. There needs to be a citation after "left the Folies Bergère". The siblings need to be verified, each of em. And, and this is bigger, the citations aren't correct: "Gallica" is not the publisher. The hook is verified to an article from Le monde artiste, and it's titled "Courrier de la semaine", on p. 621--all that information needs to be in the citation, and it's the same for almost all the other citations. Drmies (talk) 17:06, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
    You are right, and I hope LouisAlain can help. I usually find sources, but not in this case, - she seems known for having been photographed. Pages and pages of photos ... - Großes Sängerlexikon doesn't have her, or I have no access to the page. Grimes2, do you know? Could you help with the refs? My French is marginal, sadly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:45, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
A picture of her grave but ebay.fr may be forbidden to use ? LouisAlain (talk) 18:04, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
There is already a picture of her grave on commons (already added to fr article of Margyl) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tombe_Jane_Margyl,_Cimetière_des_Batignolles,_Paris.jpg Grimes2 (talk) 06:41, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
Großes Sängerlexikon doesn't have her. Grimes2 (talk) 18:02, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
via Gallica refs:  Done Grimes2 (talk) 10:00, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
I just spent ten minutes on the first sentence of the "Life" section, making copy edits (punctuation), completing the templates (page numbers, authors), and checking the facts. Looking at other references I see that more of the same needs to be done, and it seems to me that there are a lot of minor edits to be made as well. A few examples: L'Enlèvement des Sabines should probably link to The Rape of the Sabine Women, because our audience is mostly English readers. The xs4all website is not reliable unless a strong case can be made for it, but I looked at the index and I am not sure how (it's someone's hobby project--admirable, but I don't think it will stand up to strong scrutiny). The "Family" section lists at least one person with no claim to notability, and a questionable link to a blog of someone who scours cemeteries. Best to cut that name, but then the text needs to be adjusted too... Drmies (talk) 19:52, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that Jane Margyl started her career as a mime and became an opera singer?

That leaped off the page for me as a hook. —valereee (talk) 13:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the offer, but I think that the two well-known Paris institutions, and her signature role, add more precision to what kind of mime and opera singer. That hook doesn't even mention Paris, and leaves her without date and place, saying something that could be said also of others. To my understanding, the problem is the sourcing, not the hook, and I have a hard time, not able to dig up anything in French. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:40, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Having said that, I found a ref (a festival, English/French), and then found that it was already in the article. The information about the family members looks consistent on the web. Drmies, what do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:04, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Frederick Strange
  • ... that Frederick Strange (pictured) sought to replace John Gilbert as the premier natural history collector in the new Australian colonies, then met a similar fate?
    • ALT1: ... that an expedition by plant and animal collector Frederick Strange (pictured) resulted in the deaths of twelve people?
  • Comment: I went to stub this and link around to the taxa Strange had something to with—it's only tangentially related to my supposed focus—,but some spontaneous collaboration produced a short but interesting article with rich referencing [cheers again for @Oronsay: contribs]. The flaws are mine, and I haven't checked length or other criteria since my last nom, but there is a potential dyk here and I or any one else willing can get it ship-shape. P.S. I added an image, but that parameter has been sucked away by a bot?

Created by Cygnis insignis (talk) and Oronsay (talk). Nominated by Cygnis insignis (talk) at 15:52, 1 May 2021 (UTC).

  • Image added. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
    Thanks @Mandarax:, but the article is only getting more untidy as I work on and around it. I'm not sure it will be presentable and prefer to withdraw the nomination. Happy editing :) ~ cygnis insignis 11:06, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
    Cygnis insignis, are you sure you want to withdraw this? Many nominations hang around for a long time as people get things into shape. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 17:05, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
    Okay, cheers. I'm busy with some ferocious beasties for little while, made urgent by our processes, but will attempt to get this article ship-shape soon. I doubt the picture is going to be seen a desirable part of the dyk, but its nice to put a name to the face. ~ cygnis insignis 17:12, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
    BTW, alt 1 is not supported by the article, at least yet, a miserable business that needs more research. ~ cygnis insignis 17:15, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg Striking both hooks: there is no mention of either John Gilbert (ALT0) or twelve deaths (ALT1) in the article even after the most recent revisions on 13 May. Cygnis insignis, do you think you'll be able to come up with a new hook that is supported by the article and its sources? Or would you prefer to withdraw the nomination? Please let us know. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:06, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Yes, but not anytime soon, it was an idle thought that I lost interest in. Sorry for any bother, please withdraw the nomination. ~ cygnis insignis 12:19, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Norman K. Risjord

  • ... that historian Norman K. Risjord worked in counter-intelligence in Berlin before he obtained his Phd and pursued a career in American history?  Sources: • Norman K. Risjord: University of Wisconsin, biography;   • Memorials: Norman Risjord, Omohundro Institute

Created by Gwillhickers (talk). Self-nominated at 18:42, 5 May 2021 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg I am willing to review it, but first, the subject's notability is not clear. Could you elaborate here or on the article's talk how they meet WP:NPROF/WP:NBIO and ping me? The current sources for the article are low-key obituaries from his Department and funeral home, hardly independent (one presumably written by his colleagues at work, the other by his family and friends). I'll continue the review once the notability is made clear. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:37, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
@Piotrus: -- Risjord is noted in the academic and historical community for having authored more than twenty books on American history. That he worked for US intelligence before pursuing a career in history also makes him interesting, imo. The article is for reference, as Risjord's name occurs from time to time in other works of history. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's famous, but he is noted among historians and the like. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:01, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
[Add] He specialized in the birth and development of political parties that emerged after the American Revolution to which he committed six separate volumes, some of which are considered standard works on the early American party system. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 20:38, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

The Bomber Mafia

5x expanded by Therapyisgood (talk) and Kchishol1970 (talk). Nominated by Therapyisgood (talk) at 21:29, 7 May 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Green tickY - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Red XN - I don't really see how either of the hooks is that interesting. "Conversational" is typical for popular history works. It's not surprising that he would discuss on his podcast and then publish a book
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Symbol possible vote.svg Needs some changes before this is eligible for DYK (t · c) buidhe 08:31, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

@Buidhe: The article has been sourced. I've added an alt hook. Aside from the alt-hook I added, do you have anything different to suggest? Is the new alt hook OK now? Therapyisgood (talk) 18:38, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't think ALT2 meets the requirements. I think you'd be better off trying to quote one of the reviewers who make bold claims. (t · c) buidhe 18:42, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
New one added w/quote. Therapyisgood (talk) 18:51, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
Therapyisgood, ALT3 runs 217 prose characters, well above the 200-character maximum, so I've struck it. Can you please propose something shorter? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:35, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: added another. Therapyisgood (talk) 18:20, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Pinging buidhe to see whether this hook meets her approval. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
Not sure... it's a bit convoluted and I'm not 100% sure what it's trying to say. I think you might be better off trying to summarize the book's core argument in a hook, since it is somewhat revisionist and is more likely to be interesting than more obscure details about the book.

5x expanded by Tbhotch (talk). Self-nominated at 16:34, 7 May 2021 (UTC); new article by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 19:46, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg @Tbhotch: Both pages have received new enough and large enough expansions, and a double-QPQ is present. The source in both articles (identical text) checks out and supports the claims in the article. I did have to improve both pages to make the writing more idiomatic, and the hook needs the same treatment. I'm particularly wondering if "Superior Auditor of the Federation" (which I had personally used in my work before) may be a better translation for the ASF, though I note that English-language published material is absolutely all over the place, for instance this OECD report uses three different translations (and I'm contemplating writing the missing article). This is basically ALT0 repackaged: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:39, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
ALT0a: ... that the Superior Auditor of the Federation of Mexico observed damage to an overpass between Tezonco and Olivos stations on the Mexico City Metro prior to its collapse in May 2021?
  • I have no objection to the wording on either of those, pending another reviewer since I've now contributed an article to the hook. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:26, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

  • Evrik, Shorter - I like it, but I'd quibble that the games are not just featured in the movies, the even 'cooler' fact is that the Star Wars movies (media...) invented them in the first place.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Symbol question.svg Article is all good. But misses on timelines. Like it does not mention that she won the award in 2018. Also, there is no censorship required in the article (censorship may be required on main page). Hence you can freely mention the tits in the article but maybe skip from the hook. In fact, you can rephrase Alt1 in such an intriguing manner that people will want to click and read full article to know for what she won the award. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:42, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Bullshit (G-Dragon song)

Converted from a redirect by Nkon21 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:49, 16 May 2021 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg the hook reads a little awkward to me at the moment ("in respect to"? And I'd straight up say what the scandal was--marijuana and drug overdose?) and seems to present the reason for the switch as a concrete "fact", whereas in the article itself, the phrasing is more tentative ("for reasons not immediately disclosed", "many observers have speculated"). Anyway given the provocative title, the hook defo has more potential. Otherwise the other criteria seem to be met (I don't understand Korean so I'll have to AGF on the Korean sources). Cheers!

  • The article is long enough and new enough. It is written in an encyclopedic style with inline references. There are a few cases of bare URLs being used as references (ref 5, 8, and 23 in the current version); please express them as formatted citations. I think ref 23 should be treated carefully: this is a "newsroom alert" by a law firm, so it is written by a professional expert but it is effectively self-published. I think the text should attribute it as the analysis of one particular firm rather than stating it as fact.
The copyvio detector finds a lot of text common between the article and existing sources, especially in the sections on Commercial speech and Exceptions, where you've reproduced some of the legal code. If we are dealing with legal text that is in the public domain, then it would be okay to reuse it: I don't know if that's the case with California State law as opposed to Federal law, so I welcome clarification on this. In the lead, the phrase "speech made in connection with an issue under consideration or review by a legislative, executive, or judicial proceeding, or any other official proceeding authorized by law" seems to be verbatim from an existing source, maybe itself drawing from the legal code. It needs to be rephrased unless the legal code itself is in the public domain, in which case the source needs to be cited. You've helpfully provided web links for most of the legal documents cited, and I have to assume good faith on the rest: if you provide web links for more of the citations, that's welcome but not mandatory.
I think the original hook is a bit hard to take in with its multiple clauses referring to three different courts, but ALT1 expresses an interesting and digestable fact. This fact is expressed in the article with a suitable inline source. A QPQ seems to be not necessary in this case as the nominator has not made 5 DYK noms. You've done good work creating an accessible overview of a piece of legislation and there are just small changes needed to get this to the required standard (fix citations and clarify the copyright status, or rephrase text where necessary). Symbol question.svg MartinPoulter (talk) 14:04, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Having looked up [4] it seems that the legal code on that site is in the public domain, so there isn't a copyright issue, but I ask you to just make sure that every time public domain text is used there is a citation to attribute it: the Commercial speech/ Exemptions sections look okay in this regard, but there is also that "speech made in connection with..." part of the lead which needs citation or rewording.

My Review:
  • New Green checkmarkY Yes – indeed was published on May 16
  • Long enough Green checkmarkY Yes – far more than the minimum of 1,500 characters
  • Within policy Red X symbolN No There are concerns here. The table under "Products" does not include inline citations for all entries. Also, some very close paraphrasing picked-up by Earwig here These need to be remedied before I can approve this nomination.
  • Format – Not sure whether it is a problem that most people might not be familiar as to what the term "unicorn" means, as it relates to finance. Might limit the only proposed hook's interest to a "broad audience".
  • QPQ – Irrelevant, as this indeed is verifiably the editor's first nomination for DYK
Conclusion: I cannot approve it at this time. There are aforementioned issues with the article that must first be remedied. I'd also suggest, perhaps, that a better hook be proposed.

Thank you @SecretName101:. I edited the article further in order to avoid close paraphrasing and added some of the text in the table with inline citations to the "Products" section. I think that being unfamiliar with the term unicorn in that context makes the hook more interesting to a "broad audience".

I've been asked to review the paraphrasing in this article. I do see portions that are too closely paraphrased from the original sources. Compare for example "The company's product combines cataloging, correlation, cluster analysis, and machine learning-based classification that assist companies to understand, detect, protect, and infer value out of their data" with "combining machine learning-based classification, cataloging, correlation, and cluster analysis to help companies better understand, protect, and derive value from their data". Nikkimaria (talk) 01:48, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the feedback Nikkimaria. Given that erwig isn't currently indicating that there are any close paraphrasing in the article, and that the difference between close paraphrasing and paraphrasing is subjective, can you please list all of the close paraphrasing that exist today in your opinion? That would be helpful. As for the example above, do you think that "BigID's data intelligence platform includes such features as cataloging, correlation, cluster analysis, and classification, that assist their customers to protect, make sense of, and infer value out of the data stored in their systems" still constitutes close paraphrasing? If so, can you please suggest another paraphrasing? Thanks again. הסיסמא123 (talk) 19:59, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
Earwig doesn't check for close paraphrasing; it can only assess whether there has been word-for-word copying. Close paraphrasing is assessed by direct comparison. If paraphrasing is not possible, you can always use a direct quote. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:32, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Source: Evictions in Jerusalem Become Focus of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, May 7, 2021: "But Mr. King, the deputy mayor, said “of course” they are part of a wider strategy of installing “layers of Jews” throughout East Jerusalem. That policy, Mr. King said, “is the way to secure the future of Jerusalem as a Jewish capital for the Jewish people.” “If we will not be in big numbers and if we will not be at the right places in strategic areas in East Jerusalem,” he added, then future peace negotiators “will try to divide Jerusalem and to give part of Jerusalem to our enemy.”"

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Sorry, GC2021, but this isn't eligible for DYK. It needs to have been 5x expanded in the previous seven days before nominating. Beyond that, we can't use Discogs or the company website as a source for these claims. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:49, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg Reopening after far-too-quick rejection. The nomination, by an editor new to DYK, was made on an expansion that began on May 16, when the article was 2022 prose characters, and the article is currently 9426 prose characters, only 684 prose characters short of 5x. We typically allow an IAR exception for new nominators if they're a little late (only three days in this case), and we typically allow any nominator a chance to make up the difference if they come up a little short in the expansion department, since many don't know how to count prose characters. What is more serious is that the article will need to be edited to deal with getting better sourcing and encyclopedic tone—both these issues will need to be addressed before the nomination can proceed, and the resulting article will need to be at least 10110 prose characters. Pinging Rhododendrites (given how close this was to a 5x expansion, the "X" was probably not appropriate) and Desertarun (seven days is standard to allow for issues like this to be noted before rejecting a nomination).

  • That's the first I've heard of any IAR leniency for newbies at DYK (for allowing them to fix things, sure, but not when it comes to the deadline). In fact there have been multiple new users I was working with who nominated a day or two late and had it rejected (and in those cases, sourcing, the article, etc. weren't a problem). If allowances are made routinely IMO that's not IAR but something that should be documented so we can actually tell me users what to expect. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:27, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
Usually we do allow leniency for first-time nominators provided the other requirements are met or if any issues are easily surmountable. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:19, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
It'd be great to get that documented somewhere. Like I said, I've worked with newbies who were rejected, and it'd be good to be able to point to what's actually going to happen before going through the process of creation the nomination. That aside, I've left a message for the nominator following up on some of the issues. The deadline certainly isn't the only issue -- it's a good faith/probably-not-COI article, but extensive use of the official site (and collaborators' official sites) makes it pretty promotional. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:49, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
It's a relatively common occurrence, and even with veterans we usually accept a one-or-two-day delay if it's for good reason. Usually outright rejection happens when the lateness is too long (anything more than a week). It's not really a guideline, but more of a common application of IAR.

Also left a message for the professor, just to suggest they talk about independent sourcing next time around. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:38, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Desertarun didn't check all the requirements, which is why I was asking for a more complete review. While the nomination date can probably be excused per IAR, that doesn't touch upon the rest of the article. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Halston (film)

Created by Isaidnoway (talk). Self-nominated at 09:44, 17 May 2021 (UTC).

  • Without doing a full review, I can tell you that this needs a different hook proposal. The article is about a film, not about Halston the person. You have to say something about the film. Kingsif (talk) 00:23, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
    • The article is a film about Halston the person, and he talks about it in the film (archival footage). How do you create a different hook proposal? Do I need to start the nomination over again? Otherwise, my thoughts about a different hook would be ... that ALT1: ... that in the documentary film Halston, the American fashion designer tells the story about how First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's iconic pillbox hat that she wore to her husband's presidential inauguration in 1961, ended up with a dent in the top of it? Isaidnoway (talk) 09:48, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
      You simply write something preceded by ALT2 below. Making people expect a biography and than take them to a film is regarded as Easter egg, - better make clear in the wording that it's about a film about Halston. - I may help and/or review, but not right now, - I trust that you can do a hook. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:30, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
      ALT2: ... that Halston is a documentary film about the American fashion designer who designed the iconic pillbox hat that Jacqueline Kennedy wore to her husband's presidential inauguration? - I don't think she was First Lady then already, as he wasn't President yet. We could add a link to the designer if you wish. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:26, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Documentary or not, Alt1 is PLOT. Alt2 boils down to nothing more than "Halston is a documentary about Halston" which... duh? If the point is supposed to be he designed the pillbox (rather than the doc being about him) then it's still a hook about him, not the movie, and if it's about Jackie wearing that hat then it's completely unrelated. How about these?
  • ALT3: ... that the director of documentary film Halston didn't want to tell the story of its subject until he learned there was more to him than just extravagant partying? Source: [8]
  • ALT4: ... that the niece of designer Halston had over 200 tapes of archival footage of him, thought to be lost, which were used in producing the documentary film Halston? Source: ditto
  • ALT5: ... that in planning the documentary film Halston, its writer-director created a database of Halston's life events in order to rate their importance for inclusion? Source: ditto
  • ALT6: ... that documentary film Halston is framed as a film noir? Source: [9]
Or if you really want to talk about the hat, you have to relate it to the movie's production;
And, of course, it would be greatly appreciated if that detail was moved out of the footnote and into prose. Kingsif (talk) 22:22, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
No comments on your hook, and thanks for the offer, but - in defense of my rewriting what was proposed (my hook would again be different from all of these, but I try to help the nominator): the J. Kennedy fact is not plot in the sense we want to avoid as something fictional, but may be the common ground to connect to Halston. - Now, if he is famous and I'm the only one whom the name alone told zero, forget this ;) - Halston - "its subject" - could have been a place, a ship, ... - a hook should not rely on people already knowing what it is. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:59, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
No, I got you. So, Halston is a famous fashion designer, very famous for the pillbox hat incident, but we can't assume anyone would know him. Nobody needs to know him to understand a hook about a movie. Because it shouldn't be about him. He's not the bold article.
And I think this is an important thing that is ruled out by PLOT, so let me explain. My point was, your entire hook is a very long-winded way of describing him, not the movie - and whether he's "the American fashion designer" or "the American fashion designer who designed the iconic pillbox hat" or "the American fashion designer who designed the iconic pillbox hat that Jacqueline Kennedy wore" or "the American fashion designer who designed the iconic pillbox hat that Jacqueline Kennedy wore to her husband's presidential inauguration", it is just an ever-more wordy way of replacing his name. He could be a complete unknown and it would be the same point - say it was a fictional film with a brand new character nobody knows, we wouldn't say "X movie is about Y character", even if you spun it into "X movie is about the person who did Y with Z who did A". Either it's saying "film is about main character" in a far too convoluted way, or it is summarizing the PLOT (i.e. it's what the character does in the work - fiction or not, you will know the hook fact by merely watching the work, thus it doesn't have anything "real life" i.e. outside of the film content. The hat is in the movie, it is PLOT).
Basically, we don't assume people know who the film is about, but it's not hooky to simply tell them who that is, no matter how many details of that person you give. Like, would you say "Mission Impossible is about an American spy who famously hangs from a rappel wire in an impossible mission he survived"? No. Nor would you say, if you want to challenge how I see PLOT applying, "that Mission Impossible stars the American actor known for his short stature, wonky smile, and Scientology". Why use such lengthy descriptors and avoid a name, why describe a person instead of say anything about the boldlinked movie? We can write plenty of interesting hooks about movies without ever needing to identify the subject, and simply "fashion designer" is an adequate descriptor of Halston, if he is mentioned, for those that don't know. Kingsif (talk) 09:57, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
You're right, Halston could be about anything, and while your point seems to be that we should just tell people what that is (and in a way that establishes the notability as if it was the opening sentence of his article), my point is that it doesn't matter at all whether people know what a movie is about or not. It's hooky to say "that Jaws deliberately avoided showing a shark, both to create suspense and because the production did not have a waterproof model", and not "Jaws is about three men on a small boat who are scared by a shark". A documentary example for perhaps better comparison: hooky is "that one of the interviewees describing violence towards trans women in Paris is Burning was killed in an incidence of this during production", and not "Paris is Burning is about the American drag queens and trans women from the New York ball scene". Kingsif (talk) 10:06, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  • And since I've added so much, I can do a review not considering my proposed hooks. The good: article new and long enough, written well enough, interesting and sourced. Second nom so no QPQ needed. Hooks are sourced inline (well, in footnote) and check out...
  • Symbol possible vote.svg And the bad: but the article sections are all out of order and "Production notes" is non-standard ("Production", it should be). This should be easily solvable. Hooks ALT0 through ALT2 are a mix of Easter egg and PLOT violations, with some plain "so what?" I am concerned with potential copyvio and certain at least close paraphrasing shown here from throughout the first two paragraphs of the "Production notes", the close para shown here, and I'll note that the article uses quotations so lengthy that they are +20% of their original sources, a similar concern. I'd like to ask @Isaidnoway: about the close paraphrasing, and someone else can look at the hooks. Kingsif (talk) 11:13, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  • There is absolutely no copyvio. The short phrases in the production section are limited, minimal and clearly attributed to Frédéric Tcheng, the director of the film. The Vogue passages are direct quotes supported by a reliable souce. Per - WP:PARAPHRASE - Limited close paraphrasing is appropriate within reason, as is quoting, so long as the material is clearly attributed in the text. Limited close paraphrasing is also appropriate if there are only a limited number of ways to say the same thing. There are no easter eggs in any of my hooks, (a message, image, or feature hidden in a video game, film, or other, usually electronic, medium). My preferred hooks are the original one and ALT 2. If those are not acceptable, I'm fine with that. If another hook is developed and used, I'm fine with that. If the DYK is declined, I'm fine with that as well. This was my first attempt at a self-nomination, and I definitely learned something for any potential future noms. Isaidnoway (talk) 14:01, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  • You're wrong on both accounts, and I'll assume it's misunderstandings: linking to the film when you're referring to the person is an Easter egg, where DYK is the medium, and there are clear instances of whole fragments or sentences that are prose from the sources - not quotations - either directly lifted or only slightly rearranged. That needs fixing: above, I linked comparisons of source and article text, and the worst is even highlighted, so you can't credibly deny it. Hooks about works aren't always easy to write, but not mentioning the film when the article is the film isn't going to pass. I'm trying to give extensive feedback to be helpful to someone new to DYK, rather than just say "no", so assuming your last sentence isn't spitefully sarcastic, you're welcome.

  • No, there is not any misunderstandings, just disagreement. I linked to the most common definition of an easter egg in relation to the media (which I assumed we were talking about, and not the Easter Bunny) and most frequently seen in films, like 16 of the best movie Easter eggs, surely you recognize that terms you've hijacked for use in the DYK medium, don't necessarily reflect the mainstream view. I just assumed you all were using the common definition incorrectly. My bad, now I know. And I also linked you to the relevant policy WP:PARAPHRASE. And the analysis of the text vs source, shows 69 out of 501 words in that particular section, and when you subtract commonly used words that can't be avoided like "a" "to" "the" "that", the number is even less. So it is limited, fair use and attributed to the person who said it. I will add to that section the publication that interviewed Frédéric Tcheng and the date of the source as well. Thanks for your feedback. Isaidnoway (talk) 16:39, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Let's see if you'll cooperate with someone else, needed to review alt hooks anyway. Remember, highlighting only shows up words that are used in long sequences unchanged, which is copyvio - close paraphrasing you actually have to read and I assure you is much more than 11% of the source (69/501 is still high anyway) - and this also means that all those auxiliary words should be counted because their placement contributes to direct copying.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Symbol question.svg I conducted a copyedit of the article, which I think removed most of the paraphrasing concerns. Please review the changes to ensure I didn't change the meaning of sentences. I am concerned that the critical reception section is basically a series of quotes from reviews and MOS:QUOTE says Wikipedia should not overuse quotes. I'd recommend that editors try to paraphrase some of the reviews, although I will not deny approval for this hook because of this.

I added a "cn" tag and a "who" tag to the article that should be resolved before approval. As for the hooks, all of them are cited by their respective sources, but ALT 5 isn't exactly in the article, so I crossed it out. My preference is ALT 6, as it is short, hooky, talks about the documentary and is the most intersting to me. I also like ALT 7 if slightly reworded. Please ping me when the cn tag and who tag are addressed so I can re-review the article. Z1720 (talk) 23:30, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Double Tenth Agreement

5x expanded by Apot8511 (talk). Self-nominated at 07:55, 25 May 2021 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg The article has been expanded enough and I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. The sentence in the lead - "The agreement was signed at what is now the Red Rock Village Museum in Chongqing." - should be referenced and it would probably be best for it to also be in the body of the article. The first paragraph in the China in 1945 section needs citations. "The battles resulted in a victory for Mao and the CCP which skewed the negotiations to Mao's favour." under the Events section needs a citation at the end, but I do see that the information is in the citation in the next paragraph so it should be easy to just repeat it up above. The last two issues are that the 5th reference and the 36th reference have formatting errors. SL93 (talk) 18:23, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

English Building, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

  • ... that according to campus legend, the English Building at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is haunted by the ghost of a female student who drowned in the building's pool? Students using the building have reported mysterious phenomena and the faint voice of a woman sounding from nowhere." Source:[11]

Created by Chevsapher (talk). Nominated by JustinMal1 (talk) at 13:46, 17 May 2021 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Article new and long enough, generally well written but poorly sourced. I would go so far as to say most of the article is unsourced or the sources aren't clear. I also highly recommend moving the article to English Building, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Just about every university will have an "English building", and many of them will be officially called that, let alone all the buildings named after people called English, or representing England at various events. It needs the disambiguation unless you think it's undoubtedly the main thing in existence referred to as "English building" (the answer is no, it isn't). What sources are used appear to be almost entirely primary sources, not indicating that it has outside notability. I am also concerned that Chevsapher has undisclosed COI (editing behavior)? Similarly, I would like more information on the licenses for the images in the article. But you and JustinMal1 still have a few more days to work on the article before it would even be too late to nominate for DYK, and I'd offer a grace period for improvements after that date (24th) too. Kingsif (talk) 17:27, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the helpful feedback. To address your points:
  • ~95% of the article is sourced, and the few statements that are not sourced are common general knowledge. If I need to change the citation style, I am happy to do so.
  • I like the suggestion about creating disambiguation page, and I saw that JustinMal1 just moved the article to the suggested namespace.
  • Concerning the potential COI, I am a student at the university, but I am not affiliated with the units that occupy the building. If this is still qualifiable as a COI, I will stop editing University of Illinois articles.
  • The images' origins and licenses are explained on their Wikimedia pages. The photos I personally uploaded are photos I took myself.
  • I tried to avoid primary sources, but I will agree that many of the secondary sources are internal to the university. To add more external sources, I would need to dig more into two main reasons why the building is externally relevant, which are (1) it was designed by the pre-eminent architectural firm of the Beaux-Arts era, and (2) it was the home of one of the most influential early home economics departments in the U.S., whose research helped drive the early-20th-century revolution in domestic efficiency. I would love to flesh out this article more fully, but unfortunately, my time is limited. I cannot yet commit to spending a few full days with a stack of books.

Overall: Symbol question.svg There are two concerns with this hook. First, hook's language is too specialized for the average reader to understand. Specifically, I don't know what "globular enough" means, or how it relates to determining a new species. Secondly, the history section has, as its second sentence, "These were examined and described by John William Dawson (1879) as a new species based on stems, leaves, and rhizomes." This tells me that Dawson examined the fossil as a new species, but this hook says Dawson originally thought it was not a new species. Normally I would suggest ALT hooks, but I am not confident enough in this subject area to create something. Can some new ALTs be proposed that have more simplified language? Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 22:08, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

  • @Z1720: Globular (as in blobby or round), since the rhizomes (fern "roots") were more cigar shaped in E. similkamense than ball shaped as in E. globulosum, Dawson didn't think the Alaskan fossils were the same species. I think the hook is very simple to be honest, it doesn't use ANY technical term besides rhizome (which I have now hyperlinked).--Kevmin § 14:08, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Additionally, why do you have the article listed as failing the citations criteria?--Kevmin § 14:14, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Hi Kevmin, I have a university degree (not in science or math) and I do not think I have heard the word "globular" before. Can this be changed to "round enough"? The citation concern was because I cannot find the hook's information in the article, therefore I do not know what reference verifies the information. Where is the hook's information in the article? Can you post the specific sentence that says Dawson did not think this was a new species? Z1720 (talk) 15:02, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
  • @Z1720: Globular is a fairly common term, to be honest, but spherical could be substituted if needed. Dawson named this species due to the fossils being different from those of the Alaskan fossil species E. globulosum (which was named later). Here is Dawsons commentary from the 1890 publication "It is Just possible that the fragments from Alaska noticed by Prof. Lesquereux in the report above referred to under the name Equisetum globulosum, may belong to the above species, but the material is not sufficient for comparison, and the root tubercles are more globular in form."--Kevmin § 14:16, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
  • @Kevmin: Thanks for providing the source. Here's an ALT1 hook:
ALT1: ... that John William Dawson didn't consider the rhizomes of Equisetum similkamense (pictured) spherical enough for the fossils to be a different species?
One final issue: Where in the Wikipedia article does it state the hook's information? Can you quote the sentence below? Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 14:31, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

@Z1720: I still do not feel there is a need to change globular, to be frank, its a fairly common word. As for the hook in the article, its the last sentence of the second paragraph in the history and classification section, where E. globulosum is mentioned for the only time, its kinda hard to miss--Kevmin § 15:09, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

@Kevmin: I think I figured out why I couldn't find the hook's text in the article: the hook says that Dawson didn't consider E. similkamense as a different species, which implies that Dawson thought that the fossils he discovered were not a new species. However, the article and the source states that Dawson considered the possibility that E. similkamense was the same species as E. globulosum, but decided that he could not make this determination because he could not compare the two fossils. I think there's a significant different between these interpretations and I cannot approve ALT0 and ALT1 because of this. I have proposed some ALTs below that I think align with the article's text and the source:
ALT2: ... that upon its discovery, John William Dawson was unsure if Equisetum similkamense (pictured) was a different species?
ALT3: ... that upon its discovery, John William Dawson decided that Equisetum similkamense (pictured) was a different species because of the globose nature of its rhizomes?
ALT4: ... that upon its discovery, John William Dawson decided that Equisetum similkamense (pictured) was a different species because of the spherical nature of its rhizomes?
Please post the preferred ALT below, or if you propose an ALT hook. I will note your preference when this is approved. Z1720 (talk) 21:39, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
Taxonomic decision wise, there isn't a difference between my wording here and the wording in the articles. Also the alt's have the problem that when Dawson described E. similkamense, E. globulosum had NOT been described yet, so your wording tense is wrong. Keep in mind the original description for E. similkamense was 1879, while the comparison to E. globulosum was published in 1890, as that species wasn't named by Lesquereux until 1883
Alt3 and Alt4 are also factually wrong, as the species with the round rhizomes is E. globulosum NOT Equisetum similkamense.
@Z1720: I feel you are struggling with the subject matter a bit and think it may be time for a new reviewer.--Kevmin § 14:01, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg @Kevmin: This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. I have spent quite a time considering the article and I don't think any of the current hooks is satisfactory. Dawson seems to have described it as a new species in 1877, but in 1890 wondered if E. globulosum was the same species. The introduction of E. globulosum into the hook only serves to add confusion. Could you suggest a new hook? What about the origin of the specific name, for example. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:57, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

  • The thing is that I'd like to tie it to the MLB All-Star Game. While there is no direct link (I looked through Arch Ward's columns advocating for an ASG in 1932 and he never referenced Joss), there are enough columnists that have made the connection that it's not WP:OR. I've found, this book, The Day The All-Stars Came Out: Major League Baseball's First All-Star Game, 1933, which talks about the Joss game in the first chapter.

  • Symbol question.svg @Kavyansh.Singh: The main hook is incorrect. I remember that campaign well. They called him "Jimmy who?" because most people had never heard of him outside of the US State of Georgia. Even Carter joked about himself as "Jimmy who?" He was popular enough to win the nomination for the Democratic candidate, and popular enough to win the election. His popularity as President took some hits because of national issues he had to deal with. But it was never an issue in the 1976 Presidential campaign. — Maile (talk) 18:05, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

 Comment: "lack of name recognition" or "unfamiliarity to voters" might be the phrase you are looking for that first hook, not "unpopularity". "Unpopularity" would be misunderstood to mean that he had low-approval. SecretName101 (talk) 15:46, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi @SecretName101: Thanks for your comments, I have made the changes, but that makes the hook slightly over 200 characters. What else can be changed to make it under the limit of characters. Also, I have made some changes in Alt 1, which makes it better. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:59, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

  • New enough (just barely), long enough. QPQ done. While Earwig picks up this as almost identical to the German article, I find it more likely that they were the ones stealing. Slight neutrality issues ("impressive", "fascinating" shouldn't be stated in Wikipedia's voice). The "Roles" section is entirely unsourced. Caption for the grave picture should be translated, and I don't quite see the point of the ad. Thesis title is mixed German/English and not in the source cited. (Untranslating the English part probably fixes that, see the thesis). I find it fascinating that he had a PhD and an abortive academic career before becoming a singer. But your hook works (may want to add "pictured"), and is within the rules.

I'd just drop the roles list, if it wasn't to not leave the images without something on the left. No idea yet where to look for a ref. The ad tells me that this person will have attracted listeners by just his name, but sure, I know that only from being able to read German.

It's under 200 characters and although it doesn't exactly follow the wording in the article, I think a slight rewording is fine for DYK.

Symbol question.svg JeBonSer, that's an interesting painting, on few but good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, and a DYK without it would miss the point. I find some things unusual in the article. I reduced overlinking myself, but please help me:
  1. The lead should be a summary! Not details about dimensions. Please have everything from the lead also in the body, with the ref in the body, and have only important facts in the lead.
  2. The link to the current city of Venice is not helpful, - what we need is a link to the Venetian art of a former period, and best with a year or two. At present, what the hook claims is not even in the article: that her work looks like something earlier. Not every reader will be versed in art history enough to know without being told.
  3. I believe that you could use the pdf for a reference.
  4. I don't read Italian besides being able to order from a menu, so can't tell if the English ref is just a translation of the Italian, in which case we'd need only one.
The hook has a bit of the same problem (as 2. above): as the painter is not named, an unprepared reader will not even see two periods in the pastel, at a glance at least. Best advice I can give: try an easier hook. The picture alone will attract, - it doesn't have to be super fancy. In article and hook, I'd like to see sooner that the creator was a woman, but that may be just me. I'd prefer her name in the hook rather than in the already long image caption. I will not approve a hook that says "us", - "we" and "us" don't belong in Wikipedia (unless in quotes). I removed a comma in the hook that broke the sentence.

@Gerda Arendt: Resolved. JeBonSer (talk | sign) 09:14, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for offering a new hook, but I confess I find it wordy. Perhaps I should leave reviewing to a native speaker. "date when it was being painted" is long for nothing, "gives help" could be simpler, and why mention "keepers" at all? Actually, the same is true for the article, just look at "The extraordinary skill of Carriera in arts can be easily seen in the portrait including Venetian painter's influence of the 18th-century Venetian style of paintings that can be easily recognised on this portrait." - duplications and saying something such as "extraordinary skill" as if a fact. I'm afraid if the article is trimmed to a concise style - in this case drop repetition of "Venetian", and use less flowery language, it might be too short. Do you want to continue with me, or rather ask for a different reviewer". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:45, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

I wouldn't bother you if this was the only one, but I see a flood of pretty portraits, and they get pictured, and other art is supposed to go without. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Gerda, I think command of English is the major stumbling block here; many of the claims are so garbled that checking them against the sources is futile, unless reviewers committed to fully rewriting the article, basically from scratch. In fact, as this has obviously taken up a lot of your time, and I see there were other similar noms, would even to as far as suggesting a Wikipedia:Competence is required ban from DYK.

  • Symbol delete vote.svg The article, after being edited, is currently at 1153 prose characters, too short for DYK. The prose is not up to DYK quality, the new hook is not interesting, and I find it extremely telling that two of the article's three sources attribute this painting not to Rosalba Carriera but to Charles-Antoine Coypel (who is French), and the third, a Google page, references an external link (artgate-cariplo.it) that says it's Coypel rather than Carriera. I see no point in continuing this nomination any further given so many problems with the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:07, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

  • Interesting: Green tickY

If you are still on Wikipedia, please note that you need to provide more information in a DYK nomination, including a citation to your hook with both the reference information and the quotation supporting the hook. I was going to try and do that myself, but there are a number of references in the article & Mui Yee seems to go by many names.

China–Pakistan Free Trade Agreement

5x expanded by S2102sa (talk). Self-nominated at 08:36, 7 June 2021 (UTC).

  • General eligibility:
  • New Enough: Red XN - Nominator started to significantly expand the article on 11 May, 27 days prior to nomination. The second phase started on 25 May, but all edits on 25-31 May cannot be considered a 5x expansion (they were, if anything, a 2x expansion). Also, per the fivefold rule, the seven days start from the day you started expanding the article, not when you finished doing so, so you have placed the article under the wrong date (should have been 11 May).
  • Long Enough: Green tickY

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Symbol delete vote.svg The article fails the "newness" criterion for eligibility by a wide margin (I'd not pay that much attention if the article was a day too late, but 27 days is a little too long). The article should have been nominated under the 11 May section. The length is good (ca. 9.5K characters, 1.5K words). Sourcing is pretty good, though addition of (more) news articles from reliable sources would be great. Even as the consequences for China are mentioned, the article is focused much more on the Pakistani side of the deal (evaluations/criticisms, for instance, do not mention any Chinese reactions at all). That is a pity, because the hook is very good. Anyway, there is a lot to work on the article, and next time be tighter with your schedule. Your edits are very much appreciated and the article looks certainly better than the version from late April, so keep going. Cheers. This is my second DYK review. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 00:17, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

@Szmenderowiecki: Thanks for the feedback! Since this is a fairly new topic, sources are limited. I exhausted pretty much all of the reliable journal articles and the news articles are reporting the exact same information, making it redundant to use more of them. Criticisms/evaluations/reactions from China was not apparent in any of the journal articles nor the newspapers, so I wrote the article with what reliable information was available. It might simply be that Pakistani scholarship has been more inclined to report on the CPFTA, or sources that are in English are written mostly by Pakistani scholars. When more information arises on China's p.o.v. on the FTA as it progresses, I'll be sure to update the page. Thank you again for the feedback! S2102sa (talk) 09:39, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Source: " as part of my master’s thesis, we decided to study the salt-retaining hormone, [aldosterone,] because fluid and electrolyte balance had been a big issue with space flight. The crews were coming back in a fainting mode after they reentered. Their metabolism was not normal right after reentry, and we were trying to find out why. I set up an analysis for aldosterone, which is a salt-retaining hormone of the adrenal gland, there at Baylor College of Medicine, and that was for my master’s thesis. I did the analysis on normal subjects and on astronauts and for the first time documented that people that go into space come back with a very high aldosterone level, trying obviously to conserve sodium which had been lost during space flight. So that sort of was the enticement for me to get involved with NASA." [30]

  • Symbol possible vote.svg I did not see any source in the nomination currently.

The sources are from Library of Western Belvedere, which says on the website has connection with Fuzhou University and the source page itself has inline citations, so I assume it's reliable. This is your first nomination and first five nominations, QPQ is irrelevant. However, there's still one another problem.

The article cites sources (although there is CS1 error in reference [9]). A QPQ is done. The hook is under 200 characters (43 characters), is cited (1), and meets the formatting guidelines. But I guess the hook isn't interesting to a broad audience. The source shows that "the leopards were extinct or on the verge of extinction in Turkey towards the end of the 20th century, but recent photographic evidence proves their survival." The fact that leopards live in the forest in Turkey needs to be rephrased to make the hook interesting. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:41, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Chidgk1, thanks for your contribution, but I am still concerned about hook, which is not interesting to a broad audience.

If anyone else would like to help, please do. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:39, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
There's a transcript of a paper on public dining in Ireland (which the main source used in the article is an extract from) that says "The origin of the Royal Hibernian Hotel, Dawson Street, goes back to 1751, which makes it the oldest known hotel in Ireland (Corr, 1987, p. 5)." I've got no idea what source is "Corr, 1987" but it does mean the claim to be oldest known hotel is a little more verifiable (as opposed to actually true). I think I'm going to need Smirkybec's collection of Irish book sources at this point to progress further. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:52, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Found the paper you mentioned "The origin of the Royal Hibernian Hotel, Dawson Street, goes back to 1751, which makes it the oldest known hotel in Ireland" [46]. You could add to the article as a source. What is "known hotel"? Does that mean the Woodenbridge Hotel was the first unknown hotel? Let me know what you find. This reminds me of the articles I did on first transplants...or first successful transplant... or first transplant in a human etc. Sorry for nit-picking.

Mandau Talawang Pancasila

"The Buntok attack had been launched, the attackers now revealed in a letter, by a movement called Telabang Pantjasila Sektor Dajak. Telabang (or telawang) is a shield; Pantjasila was the Indonesian national ideology, a term that clearly conveyed loyalty to Jakarta. The attackers explained that they had been motivated by grievances, such as their dissatisfaction with government corruption and the cancellation of the marsh drainage scheme. The group added (no doubt with an eye to attracting potential sponsors in Jakarta) that it was ready “to die for” Pantjasila. The next day, the group rebaptized itself in even more florid, but slightly less overtly Dayak, terms as Mandau Telabang Pantjasila (mandau refers to a Dayak cutlass). It announced that its leader was Ch. Simbar, alias Mandolin, a Ma’anyan Dayak tribesman. Most importantly, it declared its opposition to the loosely allied anti-Jakarta rebel movements, KRJT, Darul Islam, and the Tentara Islam Indonesia"[1]
"The gang allegedly burned houses, raped women, then ran off with gold and diamonds they had robbed from the locals, as well as materials stolen from government offices. The marauders headed north to Kuala Kurung, along the Kahayan River, apparently intent on a repeat performance. They always left leaflets in their wake—this was a modern movement!—promoting the creation of Central Kalimantan province, asserting Dayak commitment to Sukarno, and declaring opposition to an Islamic Indonesia. "[2]
"The issue of Central Kalimantan was no doubt on the agenda of an important military meeting set to discuss martial law and regional autonomy in mid-April 1957. Security conditions in the region were now ideal, Tjilik Riwut and the new military commander of Kalimantan declared. Indeed, after having done his part, Simbar had been eased out of the picture. He and Embang came out of the jungle and were taken to meet acting Kalimantan governor, Sarkawie, and his entourage in Banjarmasin in March. Simbar told them he had “ten thousand” men committed to him all over Central Kalimantan. The group then travelled together to Buntok and to Bundar to witness four hundred Tentara Lawong members in each place take a symbolic oath of loyalty to the state. The following month, the gang members figured as guests of honor at official celebrations repeated in each of the three regencies that were to join the province. Simbar and Embang’s gangs were rebaptized the Youth Front for the Development of Central Kalimantan; the group was still led by Simbar, who was subsequently counted among the heroes of Central Kalimantan."

The ref William Davenport, the Slave Trade, and Merchant Enterprise in Eighteenth-Century Liverpool by Nicholas James Radburn (2009) says on page 13: "Throughout his thirty-eight year career as a ship owner, he invested in 163 slaving ventures, more than any other merchant in the history of the Liverpool slave trade. These vessels carried nearly 40,000 Africans to the Americas, and involved a personal investment from Davenport of £127,000, equivalent to £10 million sterling today. Davenport‘s lengthy involvement in the slave trade, coupled with his substantial personal investment made him one of the largest and most ubiquitous slaving merchants of his day."

Rizzle13, I'm surprised that you think "appalling" is not neutral, but "slave", as a noun, is. There was already one example of "enslaved people" or "enslaved person" in the article, and I've tried to change as many as I could. We should not essentialize the personhood of a victim of kidnapping and enslavement down to a single word. Anyway, there is another problem: the "Abolition" section really is not connected to the subject of the article--and so, the image (which was never simply the image of an enslaved person) isn't connected to the subject either. Nor do I see, given what the article says about the subject, an easy connection between the subject and the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade. Desertarun, maybe there is more in your sources. I do think that the two Alt hooks are great, but I don't think putting that image in there is appropriate. Sorry.

Laura McKinlay Robinson

Laura Robinson circa 1987
  • Reviewed: TRW Vidar
  • Comment: 1. She uses just "Laura Robinson" for 90% of her work. But our Laura Robinson article is for a different (also Canadian!) person. She did use Laura McKinlay Robinson and McKinlay Robinson for a few roles, and I was reluctant to have Laura Robinson (actress, game designer, producer, writer) as a title for obvious reasons, so I'm using Laura McKinlay Robinson for the article; but is it OK if we leave out the middle name in the hook and use a pipe like this?
    2. The image is waiting for OTRS approval. We should get it, she sent it in herself.
    3. No shortage of possible quirky hooks, from being compared to Jessica Rabbit, to co-publishing a dice game about penis size, to co-authoring Chicken Soup for the Soul books, if you really don't like this one for whatever reason. But I do think Balderdash and acting are the main points that make her notable.

  • @Jon698: ALT0 is a plain X was Y hook. I'm sure someone that was in politics for 20 years has something more interesting to tell the world than their just age. For instance, the article states "she would at times be the only female chair of a committee". If the intent is to draw attention to the gender disparity in politics, this is more hooky and interesting to a non-American audience. Anarchyte (talk) 04:03, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Hi @Emilytang123, Thanks for nominating to DYK. As it is your first DYK nomination, these are few guidelines that may be helpful for you. Firstly, the hook is not properly formatted. (See WP:DYKHOOK for formatting guidelines) If you want to nominate the hook "First major landowner of New South Wales", you need to type it as "... that John Harris was the first major landowner of New South Wales?" and link the source. QPQ not required. The article is long enough (14924 characters), but is not new enough. It has not been created/expanded 5x/promoted to Good Article within the past 7 days. The 5x expansion began almost 27 days ago. In that case, the article doesn't meet the eligibility criteria. Still, your contributions to the article are very much appreciated!! Thanks!
