Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 22:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC). Interesting song GA on many and substantial sources, no copyvio obvious. I wonder if "expresses" would be a better word than "describes". The licensed image is beautiful when large, but not captivating in stamp size. In case it is not taken, I believe that the word "song" should be added to the hook for clarity that it has to do with music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:03, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: ALT2 is not really suitable in this form, since it's not clear who it's accusing of antisemitism, but any other hook would be fine. Smurrayinchester 11:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. For what it's worth, I initially didn't really think the tugboat thing was that interesting (it has to do more with people protesting Julia Rice, who just so happened to live in the house). I might consider a hook about it later, though. Epicgenius (talk) 12:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually what about this?
I'll mark this as ready, and let the admin decide which hook to use. Thanks for the quick reply! Smurrayinchester 14:46, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article is new enough, long enough, and free from close paraphrasing. The hook is interesting, cited inline, and verified. The source is Indonesian, but Google Translate checks out on the fact. The hook probably meets BLP as it's not undue focus since it focuses more on the four mayors aspect.

@AryKun: Article is new enough (per WP:DYK5X) and long enough. The article is sourced adequately and reliably, neutral, and there isn't any plagiarism. I prefer ALT1, as it's a little more interesting and the wording in ALT0 is a little unclear. I've made an alternative hook for ALT1 specifying that Colombia is their native country (just for complete clarity).
  • ALT1a: ... that Oophaga solanensis frogs can be bought for $3 in their native Colombia and sold for up to $1,000 overseas?
Looks ready. This is my first DYK review, so I'd love a second opinion. Thanks, SupremeLordBagel (talk to me) 05:04, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's your second opinion. Long enough, new enough. No maintenance templates found, no neutrality issues found, Earwig is quiet. QPQ done. Both hooks would require an end-of-sentence citation.

    • ALT1: ... that a 2013 photo of Joe Biden embracing political journalist Amie Parnes generated controversy? Source: "In a light-hearted photograph taken with The Hill’s White House correspondent Amie Parnes, Vice President Joe Biden can be seen with his hands high on the reporter’s waist — and Parnes with her hands firmly on top of Biden’s. The photo was lifted off Parnes' Facebook page, and some outlets questioned whether Parnes was trying to block Biden’s hands from moving any further." TODAY

  • Article new and long enough notwithstanding the seven month draft period (happens). QPQ not needed as this is nominator's first DYK - welcome, by the way. Original hook is more interesting, cited inline and confirmed in cited source(s), and agree about the BLP issues with ALT1. Copyvio check only flagged direct quotes, so no issues. Good to go.

  • I personally think the first hook is great. It certainly got my attention. The article itself is long, was moved to the mainspace just today, is based on reliable sources, and looks fully complete. My only potential concern is that the hook doesn't explicitly state that it was struck down in court, but I think that can probably be inferred as is. Pac-Man PHD (talk) 08:27, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Though Earwig found likely copyvio, it's basing that off of a direct quote from the contents of the proposal, an open and free document that is properly attributed to, so it shouldn't be a violation. I think this is all in order. Still, felt it should be mentioned in case the author wants to paraphrase the contents of the proposal or if an administrator takes issue with it. Pac-Man PHD (talk) 08:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yeah as the author I generally don't think quoting the direct ballot title of the proposal is a problem (and imo paraphrasing would be less informative to our readers than seeing what voters saw). Elli (talk | contribs) 09:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nominated soon enough after GA. Meets length and citation requirements. Hook is absolutely interesting and the right length. The content of the hook is referenced in the article and a citation is appended immediately after where it appears. The image appears to come from a Nazi German government source, which means it's almost certainly in the public domain. Only concern is with the image's visibility at a smaller scale; going to just leave that up to promoter discretion. QPQ done (a quick-fail of novice nomination). Overall great work! ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • New enough, long enough, and properly sourced. No QPQ needed. Earwig found no problematic copied wording. Good-enough hook, but one must synthesize a couple pieces of information in the article to obtain it: the "largest township" part is at the end of the town section, dated to the early 19th century, while the "deserted" part is at the end of the "clearance" section. In fact both facts are adjacent in the "Maverick Guide to Scotland" source, with much tighter dating (largest in 1815; cleared between 1814 and 1818) and to avoid problems with WP:SYN the article would benefit from making them adjacent somewhere within it, footnoted to that source. Also, "deserted" is maybe a euphemism for what happened. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks David. What if the sentence in the Town section said "Before the clearance, it was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver"? That would would be consistent with the Maverick Guide guide source and not change up the current before-during-after structure. I could also change the sentence in the Clearance section to say "completely deserted by 1818" to avoid any ambiguity.
I think "deserted" is, from a NPOV, the end result of what happened, it describes what's left. You could say "forcibly depopulated" or something but I think "deserted" is clear enough and used in the sources. -- D'n'B-t -- 18:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To me, "deserted" is an accurate and neutral description of the state of the place now, but not of the process by which it reached that state. How about
  • ALT1 ... that before its inhabitants were evicted, Rosal was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver?
but that would require a new reviewer as I can't both propose hooks and approve them. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy with that ALT1, (although with the link just saying "Rosal" for preference). -- D'n'B-t -- 19:08, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That was an unintentional omission. I've piped the link as you originally did now. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1 short enough, cited, and interesting, though may be worth adding "in Scotland" per WP:DYKINT. Let's roll.--Launchballer 06:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
