June 2019
Date | Section | Article | Notes | Resolved |
---|---|---|---|---|
9 June 2019 | DYK | The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables | The year 1813 (noted in the hook) is apparently specifically inline referenced to ref 1, but I can't see any sign of it there, so part of the hook (and article) is unreferenced. | Yes |
OTD | Mormon handcart pioneers | "Legacy" section now somewhat littered with unreferenced claims.
|
Yes | |
William Jennings Bryan | No geographical context at all, suggest just adding "US" in front of President to nail it. | Yes | ||
8 June 2019 | DYK | Me! | At least a dozen bare URLs, each one contrary to the DYK rules on passing and promotion.
|
Yes |
OTD | Battle of Antioch (218) | Very weird to link the "legions" after "Syrian" to Roman legion, especially as "Syria" doesn't appear in that article even once.
|
Yes | |
Punched card | According to the article, this appeared to happen in 1889, not 1887. | Yes | ||
USS Liberty incident | Article lead and infobox say 171 injured, not "at least 173". | Yes | ||
2009 imprisonment of American journalists by North Korea | If we're not linking terms like "patent" or "arrest", I'm not convinced at all we need to link common terms like "pardon". | Yes | ||
George I Rákóczi | Inadequate lead | Yes | ||
Irina Lăzăreanu | Inadequate lead. | Yes | ||
7 June 2019 | General | Main page balance | About four to five lines of whitespace under DYK throwing the main page out of whack | -1 OTD |
DYK | Mária Kráľovičová | "Selected filmography" selected by whom? According to what criteria? And mostly unreferenced. | Nope | |
Joel Moskowitz | I imagine 99.5% of the readers of this website know what is meant by California, it most obviously does not need to be linked. And aren't lawsuits normally "brought", i.e. "that a lawsuit brought by Joel Moskowitz"? | Yes | ||
Revolution of 1719 | I think it much more likely that our US-centric audience would need to have "Lords Proprietors" linked in preference to "South Carolina", come on. | Yes | ||
Chen Fahu | Citation error (see ref 14) | Yes | ||
OTD | Battle of Messines (1917) | "ammonal mines" is a sea of blue, and mine is easter eggy. | Yes | |
Blind Faith | It would be appropriate to call this lot a "supergroup" (per the article) which would reinforce why their only UK date was notable enough for inclusion here. | Yes | ||
Louise Erdrich | Award section is poorly referenced, this is a BLP! | Yes | ||
6 June 2019 | DYK | Halca | Target article has been moved so bold link now points at a redirect.
|
Yes |
Dadia Forest | The hook isn't reflected in the article. It says in the article that it's the only forest with those four species in it.
|
Yes | ||
Smin Bayan | Raw URLs means this should never have been passed/promoted as directly contrary to DYK rules.\ | Yes | ||
Lydia Manley Henry | Croix de Guerre should be in italics like our article. | Yes | ||
OTD | Battle of Novara (1513) | Not seeing where the date is verifiable. | Yes | |
Robert Stirling | Lead too short, quite embarrassing for such a prominent man. | Replaced | ||
5 June 2019 | OTD | June Rebellion | One section badly under-referenced, and other cn's | Yes |
HIV/AIDS | Really no need to link a term like "homosexual", it's pretty well understood and a basic term in English. | Yes | ||
2009 Peruvian political crisis | Not seeing the 65 days mentioned in the ref, plus do we need "straight" in there? I don't think so, I think it is safe to assume that those 65 days would be considered "straight" without using such vernacular. | Yes | ||
4 June 2019 | General | Main page balance | Three to four lines of whitespace below DYK sending the main page off balance. | Yes |
DYK | Joe Kryczka | I don't believe there is justification for two fair use images essentially depicting the same thing: him as a judge. Only one should be allowed. | Yes | |
Don't I Know You? | Seems very odd to use the term "queer" (without linking) when it's not used one single time in entire target article. | Yes | ||
Lees of Scotland | Really quite absurd. The link is an Easter egg link for starters. Then, the bar itself wasn't an experiment, it was the result of an experiment of adding coconut. Then we really don't care that a confectionery company experimented while making new products, do we? It even looks like the Macaroon bar is so non-notable that even its sales aren't mentioned and it doesn't have its own article (e.g. Mars (chocolate bar), Jaffa Cakes, Kit Kat). This is a cheap attempt at a DYK whose target isn't actually the subject of the hook. | Nope | ||
OTD | Ruhollah Khomeini | Any reason why (1989) (i.e. the year he died) isn't after this observance? | Yes | |
Old St Paul's Cathedral | "Notable burials" section is (a) {{famous}} and (b) unreferenced. | Replaced | ||
German submarine U-505 | "warship" appears not to be used at all in the article other than in one reference title. The "War of 1812" appears to be not used at all in the article. | Yes | ||
Eduard Mörike | Lead wholly inadequate and tagged. | |||
Marguerite Patten | Ditto. | |||
3 June 2019 | DYK | General | Queue empty once again | Yes |
List of burials at Nikolskoe Cemetery | "was buried", so he's not buried there any more? | Yes | ||
James Bruce Lockhart | Why is this person being referred to by his surname only? It's not like he's well known or anything, right? Plus the lead is too short.
|
Yes | ||
Sommen | I know some of these are a primitive "work in progress" but does anyone read the whole thing? I mean, what is "depth is 60 m.(although deeper places are found every year). , With its 147 meters above sea level ..., with a visibility of 8–10, if conditions are good.... And that's just in the (FIVE-PARA) lead...
|
Yes | ||
Military geology | Op Sea Lion was the planned invasion of the UK, not "Britain". Plus "invasions of" should be in the pipe, otherwise the three links are Easter eggs. | Yes | ||
János Gerendi | Really badly phrased, because unless you know that "eating blood" etc was an Old Testament rule, these two claims are unrelated. It would be more appropriate to say something like "that while János Gerendi did not observe all Old Testament laws, he did refrain from eating blood ..." | Nope | ||
Temple of Hera, Mon Repos | It wasn't decorated "by" terracotta figures, it was decorated "with" terracotta figures. Unless those terracotta figures were on some kind of interior design contract. Cheap labour perhaps. | Yes | ||
OTD | Uganda Martyrs | No verifiable source in this specific article that their Feast Day is celebrated OTD. | Yes | |
Queen's Official Birthday | Claim in the pertinent section of the article isn't referenced. Subsequent reference doesn't mention "first Monday in June".
|
Yes | ||
Jack Jouett | The term "midnight ride" does not appear in the article, so why are we using it? Should we stick to encyclopedic language, i.e. describe it as a 40-mile ride (with unit conversion, of course...!)? | Yes | ||
Great auk | "specimens pictured" is a bit of a stretch when it's a painting. Perhaps "specimens depicted". | Yes | ||
1950 French Annapurna expedition | "peak" should be inside the pipe, the target is about peaks over 8,000m in height. | Yes | ||
Melbourne–Evans collision | More importantly than cutting the boat in two, it killed 74 sailors... Should be noted. | Yes | ||
2 June 2019 | DYK | Nancy Pelosi | Not sure why we're making the hook less encyclopedic, it's the first time since 1955, not (hand-wavingly) "the 1950s". This is an encyclopedia folks. | Yes |
Barlow Trecothick | He isn't the Lord Mayor of London. He was the Lord Mayor of London in 1770. The hook is false. | Yes | ||
St. John's Episcopal Church, Georgetown | Hook needs a comma after D.C. | Yes | ||
Ruth Hesse | An unreferenced section, shouldn't have been promoted per basic DYK rules.
|
Yes | ||
The Inch, Edinburgh | Where is the hook referenced? Oh, and the only reference I did find said it was 2.5 miles, not 2. Bravissimo!
|
Nope | ||
OTD | Death of Benno Ohnesorg | The piped link should include "was killed" as the target is not the bio, but an article on his death. | Sort of | |
1 June 2019 | DYK | Astilbe chinensis | Source verifying the hook is dead (to me). | Nope |
Samra (rapper) | It's not a "feminine Arabic pseudonym", it's a "women's Arabic name". Plus lead is far too short. And 10 out of 10 for "encyclopedic writing" here: in which he dissed 187 Strassenbande, causing a stir. Might as well be The Beano, rather than the world's most popular encyclopedia! | Nope | ||
WPWA | What the bejesus are "call letters"? Link please. | Yes | ||
Captain | I think this hook completely misses the point: the PM lauded its supposed qualities, while every last mofo under the sun called it a pile of shite. That should be reflected here.
|
Nope | ||
OTD | Scotch whisky | Too much unreferenced material. Plus, this "first mention" doesn't appear explicitly noted here. | Replaced | |
Glorious First of June | If you're going to link the French First Republic, then at least have the decency to link the Kingdom of Great Britain. | Yes | ||
Attack on Sydney Harbour | Sea of blue in the blurb. And it wasn't "a failed attack", it seems to have been a number of failed attacks. | Nope |
