This page holds approved nominations that are waiting to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page. Following DYK approval, nominations are processed and moved into a Prep area, and from there, prep sets are promoted to a queue, and then to the main page.
If some of the nominations are not showing up properly at the bottom of the page, these alternative pages can be used to view a subset of the most recent nominations.
This page is for those nominations that have already been approved and are waiting to be promoted. If yours has been approved but has not yet been run on the main page, it should either be on this page or will soon be moved here, or already promoted to a Prep area or Queue ahead of an appearance on the main page.
If you wish to create a new nomination, please go to the Template talk:Did you know page; there are instructions there in a section similar to this one on how to nominate an article for DYK.
This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until someone promotes it to a preparation area. To alleviate this problem, if the approved page has more than 120 approved hooks, then sets will change twice per day (every 12 hours) instead of once per day (every 24 hours). When the backlog falls below 60 approved nominations set frequency returns to once a day.
If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been 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.
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 the nominations 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 the nominations 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.
Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section on the regular nominations page, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began, or it was listed as a Good Article; be sure to indicate in the nomination any request for a specially timed appearance on the main page.
Note: Articles intended to be held for special occasion dates should be nominated within seven days of creation, start of expansion, or promotion to Good Article status. The nomination should be made between at least one week prior to the occasion date, to allow time for reviews and promotions through the prep and queue sets, but not more than six weeks in advance. The proposed occasion must be deemed sufficiently special by reviewers. The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. Discussion clarifying the hold criteria can be found here: [1]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [2].
Note for promoters: please be sure to add an "invisible" comment after a hook when you've placed it in prep, noting that it's a special occasion hook and including the date it is supposed to run. This should keep the hook from being moved after promotion, as sometimes happens to hooks when a queue needs a slot filled or a prep set needs to be made more balanced by swapping hooks between preps.
... that the Korean War allowed Don Bragg to set a UCLA basketball record for most rebounds by a varsity freshman that stood for almost 40 years?
Source: "Because so many college students around the country had left school to serve in the Korean War, the NCAA had temporarily permitted freshmen to play varsity sports." (Wooden: A Coach's Life—offline) "MacLean now has 191 rebounds, setting a school record for varsity freshmen The old mark was 186 by Don Bragg in 1952." (The Camarillo Daily News)
Overall: Looks good. My only suggestion would be that the hook might be better to specify that he's a basketball player, e.g. 'that the Korean War allowed Don Bragg to set a UCLA basketball record for most rebounds by a varsity freshman that stood for almost 40 years?' Thoughts? Also, the special occasion request is fine. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:24, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1: ... that comedian Allison Reesecame out to her parents through a group text message? Source: Rodriguez, Alexander (2023-11-19). "Allison Reese is a Comedic Star on the Rise". Metrosource. ISSN1529-935X. Retrieved 2024-08-04. So, I just sent a group text. I was just like, "Hey, think I'm gay. That cool?" Several minutes went by and I was like, oh God. And my dad finally responded, "Yep, you're good." And that's truly it. And my mom called and was like, "Hey, I know you're doing comedy. Is that like a joke?" I was like, no, it's real. And she's like, "Okay!"
Other problems: - If ALT1 is approved, then reference [1] needs to be repeated directly after the sentence "Soon after this, at the age of 22, she came out as a lesbian through a group text message to her parents, who were both supportive of her sexuality." This is necessary per WP:DYKHFC, which says "The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear."
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Bsoyka Nice work on this article. I think ALT0 is the most interesting as well, but ALT1 might also work. I'm not sure about ALT2, since many influencers get millions of views for whatever it is that they're known for. Epicgenius (talk) 19:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Rjjiii, thanks for linking the separate discussion, I hadn't seen the thread on the template talk page. For future consideration, I've added ALT1 in response to the feedback at that discussion. Bobby Cohn (talk) 14:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Later followup) Hi Rjjiii, I'm realizing that, while I think I did my best to stick to objectionably true statements for the hook and, while I might think it's okay, I realize that other editors may have a different threshold of concern. I've reread WP:DYKBLP and with respect to Note that this is a stricter requirement than BLP as a whole: a sentence that might be due weight in the article can become undue if used in the hook, if the concern is strictly the focus of the reason the author was dropped, I've also added ALT2 (and the even more cautious ALT2a) sticking to just mentioning that it was his second book with the publisher. I'm hoping to alleviate some concerns reviewers may have with regards to the discussion as I'm watching the DYKN proceed further and further back on the nominations page. I'm open to more advice of course. Thanks, Bobby Cohn (talk) 16:04, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Approving ALT1 and ALT2. Reject original hook. There's no BLP issues with ALT2a, but I don't think a prep builder is likely to promote it. The article itself doesn't have issues with NPOV; the WP:RS are incredibly hostile towards the book. It's also new enough and long enough. Direct quotes are correctly attributed. @Bobby Cohn: Do you mind if I post a link to this nomination at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard to have someone double check those two hooks more familiar with the policy? Rjjiii (talk) 12:05, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
... that Jacques Lewis is believed to have been the last living French veteran of D-Day?
Source: "Believed to be the last surviving Frenchman to wade ashore with Americans, he was attached to an Army unit that stormed Utah Beach and helped drive Germans out of France."
Cited: - The NYT source does not support the hook as written because it only covers the US landings but there were British and Canadian beaches on D-Day too. A claim of first/last is a Redflag and so needs excellent verification.
Interesting:
Other problems: - "Believed" is a weasel word and/or expression of doubt. If this is a definite fact, as it should be, then we should state it as such without such tentative language.
QPQ: - Not provided yet. done Note current discussions about limiting nominations on credit like this. Overall: I'm not sure of the formal status of translations but this review template asks Is the article free of material copied from other sources? and it isn't. The article seemed to need some copy-editing and so further work of that kind may soften the issue. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:04, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The QPQ has been done and the ALT1 hook seems ok. I raised the issue of translation at WT:DYK but, iirc, most responders didn't seem to be bothered about this.
Looking at the article, I notice that the lead is too short, being just one sentence, and there's just a generic section title of "Biography" which isn't helpful to the reader. So, some copy-editing still seems needed. I'll keep a tab open and make a pass through it myself to see if that helps or turns up any issues. More anon...
Regarding "believed", the is what the New York Times states. It is extremely unlikely there are any other living French vets of the American landings on D-Day. I'll change it to "was" if there are no objections. Thriley (talk) 20:49, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can't find a single WP:RS which says he was the last survivor. On the other hand, I've found plenty of sources (both American and French) which equivocate with "believed to be", "one of", or similar.[4][5][6][7][8] so we should do the same. RoySmith(talk)22:16, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Equivocal weasels are not adequate for a claim of being last. Note that Macron made no such claim in his eulogy after the subject's death. As stated above, I'm ok with the ALT1 hook but not the first one. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:13, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: A.K.A. C for Charlie (as a handful online have nicknamed the 1957 version for almost a decade and a half now). Filler project in light of higher-priority AFC tasks; inspired by this August 2024 filing at the Literature StackExchange, which came up on the parent service's "Hot Network Questons" feed one day during my perusal at GIS.SE (I'm currently engaged in a comeback geofictional project). First of two DYK nominations from yours truly today; stay tuned in a few hours for the other one.
Created by Slgrandson (talk).
Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 9 past nominations.
I really have doubts about this angle to be honest. It's a rather exceptional claim and thus needs exceptional sourcing, and I can't imagine that the hook is actually all that accurate, especially when Harry Potter exists. The term "few" in this case is also vague. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:17, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article is new and long enough, appropriately cited, and free from CV, NPOV issues, etc. However, I think the article overuses square brackets to alter quotes far beyond what's needed for clarity. Per MOS:PMC (No relation), we should be altering quotes as little as possible. In most of the cases in this article it's unnecessary (in the box quote, why add commas that weren't in the original?), and mostly could be written around instead of altering the quote. For example, the quote that has been altered to "In spite of [the] limitations [stemming from the text's simplification,]" could be rendered as something like The Woman Teacher observed that "the story flows smoothly and is interesting" despite having been simplified". This should be corrected before the article runs.
As for the hook, ALT2 is not particularly interesting, in my opinion. It boils down to a mildly positive review that mentions the genre. If we're going to do a quote hook, the Liverpool Post and Mercury review, with its comment about how the book is "dangerously experimental", seems much more hooky, since the average reader will wonder what on earth is dangerous about a milquetoast boys adventure story. ♠PMC♠ (talk)01:56, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Premeditated Chaos I think you're being overly strict about the quotes. If this was WP:FAC, that would be a valid issue, but DYK doesn't require any WP:MOS compliance. It's good to point out ways the article could be improved, but I don't think it's fair to hold up approval based on criteria beyond what WP:DYKG requires. RoySmith(talk)01:42, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think ALT3 is much more likely to attract clicks. Still think the quotes ought to be fixed, but I won't hold up promotion on it. I just looked at your QPQ though and I don't know that it's sufficient - WP:QPQ says it ought to be a "full review", but all that was done at Template:Did you know nominations/Takara's Treasure was to add a tick to another user's review. Do you have any full reviews to substitute? ♠PMC♠ (talk)05:30, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No response from the nominator regarding the QPQ question, and the nomination is now two months old as of today. Marking for closure per WP:DYKTIMEOUT, without prejudice against it continuing if the QPQ issue is addressed before the nomination is closed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Slgrandson, I am genuinely not trying to be obstructive, but your comment there does not address the majority of things that are supposed to be addressed in a full DYK review. You have not addressed newness, length, the nominator's QPQ, or interestingness and length of the hook. You say "GBooks preview firmly checks out, matching the text in the article" but it's not clear whether you're verifying the hook here or just spot checking the source in general. And in point of fact, the hook there doesn't match the article text - the hook says the practice "has been traced back to the 12th century", but the article text says that that academic "traces the origin...to the 11th century". Please expand your review there, such that it properly addresses all aspects that a DYK review should address. ♠PMC♠ (talk)00:08, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. AGF on German-language sourcing. Reasonably exciting hook for the subject. Suggestions for promoter: add "of Liechtenstein" after "cabinet" in the hook to provide a geographic clue to readers. Also skeptical if "second" needs to be capitalized in running text. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:14, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AirshipJungleman29: we could change it to alleged embezzlement scandal or something like that if that would be more suitable. She hasn't been convicted of anything yet, but nevertheless it is a fact she was expelled from government for it. TheBritinator (talk) 06:16, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TheBritinator, the point of BLPDYK is that DYK boils down everything about a subject to a single hooky little phrase. For a BLP subject, this removes everything else about the subject's life and achievements and reduces them to a factoid on the front page one of the most popular places on the internet. If that factoid is negative, it could potentially have reputational effects, and we have a duty to err on the side of caution when it comes to posting things that could affect a living person's actual life. BLPDYK explicitly takes a stricter line than raw BLP does for this reason. Since the bold article is the cabinet and not the politician, I think you could reasonably get away with a hook about the scandal if you didn't name Frick directly. ♠PMC♠ (talk)21:33, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PMC, AirshipJungleman29, this nomination has about a day before it hits the two month mark. Is it ready to be approved or are there still issues? Just about reasonable seems unenthusiastic to me, yet we've lost two crucial weeks if something better was needed. Thanks for taking another look.

ALT1 that in indigenous societies people serve as oral repositories of knowledge, values, and morals, and have been termed "walking libraries"? [11]
ALT2 that in oral cultures people serve as repositories of knowledge, values, and morals, and have been termed "walking libraries"?
Draft published on 30 August, so this was nominated within required time. Hooks are fine (I think ALT0 is the best). But the problem is that much of the article is unreferenced. While only one sentence of prose needs a citation, half if not more entries in the tables do not have citations. I am also confused why for some rows, the citations are in different columns. Ex. Most entries in 'term' have references, but occasionally entries in others have referneces too. This is messy, and I'd suggest adding a new column 'sources' or such and moving references there, IF they are supporting all claims in the row. But there are cleary some rows with no citations (ex. Sangoma). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here02:11, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, good idea, I’ll create a new column. I thought you wouldn’t need a citation for articles on Wikipedia since that makes them non-contestable, but that is just WP:Circular.Kowal2701 (talk) 14:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice article, I found the fact it was a restaurant to be quite interesting/unique, heritage buildings often get rebuilt but a rotunda serving as a restaurant paints quite an interesting thought in my mind. Traumnovelle (talk) 07:06, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seconding Traumnovelle, my only comment is that the hook is a bit boring. I think a more interesting one might be something like ...that the small basement of the Edmonds Band Rotunda was once used as a kitchen?. And thank you for including my photo! David Palmer//cloventt(talk)20:35, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to approve the new hook, but there are some issues: 1. the sentence supporting the fact lacks a footnote, 2. the source does not refer to the basement as "small", and 3. the article is in need of a copyedit for some minor grammatical errors. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review, Narutolovehinata5. I've added a citation to the end of the sentence supporting the hook, and have done some copyedits on the article. Here is ALT2, without the "small":
"... that the basement of the Edmonds Band Rotunda(pictured) was once used as a kitchen?"
Thank you, this should be good to go. Given the original reviewer's topic ban I did a second check of the article, as well as a check of the QPQ. @Panamitsu: I have to note that with your provided QPQ, you neglected to mention that nomination's QPQ in the review, but given that was the only thing missing and the article was still checked otherwise, I'll let it slide, with a reminder to mention a QPQ's need or if it was done in future reviewers. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:17, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Per DYK guidelines, there is a two day eligibility window following a week after creation so it should fall within this window. Thank you for the reviewer for your time in advance! ALT1 is a bit lengthy, so I am open to any ways for it to be shortened while keeping the hook-iness.
Created by Ornithoptera (talk).
Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 40 past nominations.
Overall: Oh, "Minister of White Affairs" got a good belly laugh out of me! New enough and long enough. Earwig gives 47%, but everything is the name of an award, so it looks okay. Hook fact for ALT1 checks out. ALT0, however... given the history of "first" statements on the main page, I'm not sure if the sourcing is solid enough. Two of the four references for her being the first indigenous presenter are film festivals, where participants often provide their own biodata. The other two are a bit more solid, but at the same time a "first" claim gives me pause. ALT1 should be okay, but ALT0 will need further discussion if you'd rather use it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:21, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Crisco 1492! Thank you for taking the time to look through the article! Apologies for the late response, I've had a busy week. I feel like the Australian Film Television and Radio School is a reliable secondary source, but it's hard to verify outside of that. If that does not pass in order to include in the hook, we can workshop an alternative that is without Torres' biographical details and skips straight to the "self proclaimed damper destroyer" quote? Ornithoptera (talk) 02:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ornithoptera, and no worries about the delay. I agree that AFTRS is a reliable secondary source, but "first" claims... I'm very hesitant with "first" hooks, especially since even after workshopping they sometimes end up causing issues even with RSes supporting them. If we were to rework it without the "first", I'd be comfortable signing off. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:27, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for getting back to me, per your suggestion, I will provide the following alternative hook:
A bit of a simplified version of ALT0, but it's simple and gets to the point. Frankly, Babakiueria's plot is very hook-y so there is a bit of a preference for ALT1 at the end of the day for the DYK admins. Torres has a very long career, and I'm very thankful you took the time to go through the article Crisco 1492! Cheers! Ornithoptera (talk) 09:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Many thanks to Aibo22 for creating an article about a topic I had previously written an article about, but which was deleted at AfD 9+ years ago. Oasis Live '25 Tour is a 5x expansion of an article created less than a week ago.
A reviewer should check before ticking it off, but I've added a note anyway. As for adding an additional QPQ, there's probably just enough room for "that after Liam and Noel Gallagher's band Oasis announced for 2025 "the most controversial band reunion since the Sex Pistols' 1996 Filthy Lucre Tour", Noel's daughter Anaïs Gallagher criticised some fans for ageism and sexism?", so you might get lucky. I should probably write the third article first though.--Launchballer08:46, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Managed to score tickets to this... here's hoping there's no cancellations! I'm seeing a big red flag with Earwig for Anais; 96.7% possibility of copying. This maybe be a backwards copy, but that should be marked on the talk page. For the Tour, there's a 46% chance, but that's due to quotes that are properly attributed. Filthy lucre has similar results. Everything else looks good for all three articles. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Both articles are new enough and long enough (Slag Wars doesn't register as 5x by the DYK tool, but comparing the pre-expansion version it is 7x). All of the hooks are cited and meet DYKINT, though my personal preference is ALT2 (ALT0 focuses on a third party, ALT1 relies on knowledge of Healy, and ALT3 is "people get famous, are featured on BBC"). Images both appear free, being extracted from free videos. No close paraphrasing found - Earwig flags one source at 53%, but that's because of the large block quote. Looks good to go! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:51, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! The reason Slag Wars doesn't register as 5x is because DYKcheck picks up stuff from this version, which picks up around 563 false positive characters from an unformatted list.--Launchballer22:00, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I figured it was something like that. I do like this approach to 5x... cleaning up an article only to find it was disqualified by things beyond your control used to suck.Crisco 1492 mobile (talk) 02:55, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adequate sourcing: - I will kindly AGF the offline sources, but many parts of the article is unsourced. Paragraph four has an unsourced statement, and the "Biology" paragraph is unsourced; there’s also one ending in "FAO REF?". Ref 1 doesn't specify it's a "gamefish" beyond vague "if fished incidentally" (which doesn't clarify individual scale nor if it's done commercially or recreationally, especially when next to "commercial importance") nor mention angling. I can't seem to find the 2.5g weight in ref 11. Ref 16 doesn’t say “the silver porgy is generally standoffish and seldom approaches divers”; while it says “D. argenteus had always been seen in the gulfs”, it doesn’t go beyond only a few year-round divers identifying the species. "Or anything to do with Argentina's etymology" seems so OR-y and debatable; both of them come from the same Latin word.
QPQ: - None provided. Overall: Nom four days after creation and size at 3871. There are several sourcing issues you'll have to fix, as well as a QPQ to provide; see above. Also, it would help if you could provide online links to the refs since it'll make the reviewers' jobs better; I had to find some of them myself with the WP:LIBRARY providing access to some of them, and I’ve linked them in the refs. And please refrain from using redundant sources; I only needed 12/13 to verify one of the claims that also had ref 9 attached. ミラP@Miraclepine22:13, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe I've fixed most of the more pressing issues around left over annotations and poor sourcing. That said, I recognize that there could be a case to be made for OR and have provided an alternative hook, that I am much more in favor of using. In the coming day's I'll probably delete or rewrite problematic areas as I dig up and cross check source problems. Ryan shell (talk) 02:53, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The most pressing issue is the missing QPQ. They are due at the time of nomination and if it is still missing a week later, the nomination will be rejected. Schwede6618:30, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ryan shell: While the ALT1 seems boring, I'm fine with ALT0 because the issue I raised was on being related to Argentina's etymology but not Argentina the country. That said, while the gamefish issue has been fixed - I crossed off the ref 16 issue because I put in the wrong ref, silly me - no other issues have been resolved and the article still has unsourced paragraphs. BTW I'm pretty sure it's more convenient to add the QPQ in the "Reviewed" line. ミラP@Miraclepine15:25, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ミラP Mission citations related to the Biology section and fisheries information has been cited. Uncited issue in paragraph four has also been cited. The 'probably' into 'probability' typo has also been corrected. Ryan shell (talk) 20:35, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not a full review, but I'd recommend brainstorming new hooks. The second hook seems to namedrop names likely to be unfamilar to the reader, and the first hook runs afoul of WP:DYKFICTION. Bremps...01:55, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, is neutral and plagiarism free. The hooks are cited, but as with Bremps I think there are more interesting things than the line-up changing (if you think about the Sugababes it's not unusual). I wonder about a hook about the song supporting gay marriage. I put a ? for well sourced, as I was surprised the reception section was so short - I would like to see this expanded, especially since the article is only just over the character count, perhaps these might help, see here & here.

Overall: @Crisco 1492: Hi Chris! Overall, this is a well-sourced and well-written article. It was submitted on the day it was created, so it is new enough. Earwig also shows that the article is copyvio free. However, I have some concerns about the hook. I do not find it particularly interesting, and the reason for Yang's execution is not clearly conveyed. The People's Daily source cited in this nomination mentions that Chiang Kai-shek personally called Yang before ordering his execution, which is a much clearer and more interesting detail for a hook in my opinion. But this is just a suggestion for possible amendments to the hook, and it is not compulsory. If the nominator prefers to keep the current hook, that is perfectly fine with me as well. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul)14:39, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Prince of Erebor. That tidbit is mentioned in several of the sources. However, given that they are all state media, and their likelihood of being non-neutral in detailing Chiang Kai-shek, I'm a bit iffy reporting it as objective fact (I think at least one mentions that he basically threw the phone in response). I can add a few lines making it clear that this comes from a state source, then we can do an ALT. Let me revisit the sources. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:04, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2 ... that Chiang Kai-shek was reported to have ordered the execution of Yang Pao'an(pictured) after the latter threw a phone against a wall?
@Crisco 1492: Thanks for your swift reply and update! It is true that state media should not be taken at face value, but it appears that all the other sources cited in the Later years and death section, such as China Daily and The Paper, are also state-owned, leaving us with limited options. Perhaps we could consider ALT3, as it seems to address concerns about neutrality and skepticism regarding the details of the supposed private conversation between Chiang and Yang?

New enough, long enough, QPQ done. We're treading around describing the political system slightly, but it can be pieced together. A source is needed in the article for the future PM part. Work on climate change should be mentioned in the lead. He may have been assistant Minsiter(?) but that may all need a deeper investigation. CMD (talk) 07:15, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis: I added a source for the future PM and expanded the lead a little to mention climate change. As for assistant minister, that source does seem to say that but then there are also severalsources referring to him as "Teleke Lauti, Minister for the Environment" (including another UN publication) – he's so obscure, its hard to tell. I'm leaning towards keeping 'Minister for the Environment' though as there seems to be more sources saying that than 'Assistant Minister for the Environment'. Is that everything?

New enough and long enough. Hook and source checks. QPQ checks. I have some concerns about prose for general audience readers:
"his father lost his fortune in the wars." - what wars?
"Legend has it his family" - this is a bit vague and I'm not sure about the tone either. The wording in one of the sources (According to an ancient tradition of the Jews of Italy...) is much, much better. Can you reword to something similar (or maybe even place that in quotes if you have to)?
"Pope Paul IV's bull prevented" - what is a "bull" in this context? Can you clarify, or give an appropriate Wikilink?
Thanks for the review. Looks like you figured out about the papal bull. I've performed the requested clarification and copyedits. One thing is that one of the sources refers to the recurring wars in Italy, presumably the Italian Wars in the Papal States, while the other sources relay the story about fleeing the Sack of Rome (1527), which was during one specific war. Since I'm not entirely sure if there are any other recurring wars that affected Pomis' father other than the incident we know about, after all, someone could lose a fortune over several events, I've changed it to just talk about the Sack of Rome unless I can find another source that talks about any wars, plural other than that which affected him. Hope that works! Let me know if you have anything else. Andre🚐00:33, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, since I already discuss the Sack in the next sentence down, I'm going to just leave that 2nd part and make it just in the Italian Wars. Since it says his father lost his fortune in his youth, it must be talking about 2 different series of events. Andre🚐02:01, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source: https://www.lto.de/recht/nachrichten/n/bverfg-1bvr308009-bundesweite-stadionverbote-mittelbare-drittwirkung-grundrechte-hausrecht-dfb Das Bundesverfassungsgericht (BVerfG) hat die Verfassungsbeschwerde eines mit einem bundesweiten Stadionverbot belegten Fußballfans als unbegründet zurückgewiesen (Beschl. v. 11.04.2018, Az. 1 BvR 3080/09). Die Verbote dürften aber mit Blick auf das Gleichheitsgebot nicht willkürlich festgesetzt werden und müssten auf einem sachlichen Grund beruhen, entschied der Erste Senat in einem am Freitag veröffentlichten Beschluss. Für ein Stadionverbot reiche allerdings schon die Sorge, dass von einer Person die Gefahr künftiger Störungen ausgehe. Nach einem Auswärtsspiel des FC Bayern München gegen den MSV Duisburg im Jahr 2006 kam es außerhalb des Stadions zu Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den Fangruppen. Die Polizei nahm daraufhin 50 Personen in Gewahrsam, unter ihnen der damals 16-jährige Beschwerdeführer. Gegen ihn wurde dann ein Verfahren wegen Landfriedensbruchs eingeleitet, das später wegen Geringfügigkeit eingestellt wurde. Nach der Einleitung des Ermittlungsverfahrens sprach der MSV Duisburg im Namen des Deutschen Fußballbundes (DFB) ein zweijähriges, bundesweites Stadionverbot gegen den 16-Jährigen aus. Gestützt wurde das Verbot auf die Stadion-Verbotsrichtlinien des DFB. Trotz der späteren Verfahrenseinstellung entschieden der MSV und der DFB ohne Anhörung des zur Münchener Ultra-Szene gehörenden Jugendlichen, das Verbot aufrecht zu erhalten.

Kontraktionszwang unterbindet - was im Umkehrschluss als Freiheit zu diskriminieren interpretiert werden kann. Das BVerfG stellt daher ausdrücklich fest, dass der allgemeine Gleich-heitssatz kein objektives Verfassungsrecht enthält, wonach Rechtsverhältnisse zwischen Privaten prinzipiell gleichheitsgerecht auszugestalten seien. Auf den konkreten Fall gewendet: Die mit dem Stadionverbot einhergehende Ungleichbehandlung des Fans gegenüber denjenigen, die das Stadion besuchen dürfen, ist nicht schon per se verfassungswidrig. Die Gleichheitsbindung privater Akteure begründet das BVerfG erst in „spezifischen Konstellationen" (§ 3 Rn. 44 f.): Ein allgemeiner Grundsatz, wonach private Vertragsbeziehungen jeweils den Rechtfertigungsanforderungen des Gleichbehandlungsgebots unterlägen, folgt demgegenüber aus Art. 3 Abs. 1 GG auch im Wege der mittelbaren Drittwirkung nicht. [...] Gleichheitsrechtliche Anforderungen für das Verhältnis zwischen Privaten können sich aus Art. 3 Abs. 1 GG jedoch für spezifische Konstellationen erge-ben. Eine solche Konstellation liegt dem hier in Frage stehenden bundesweit gültigen Stadionverbot zugrunde. Maßgeblich für die mittelbare Drittwirkung des Gleichbehandlungsgebots ist dessen Charakter als einseitiger, auf das Hausrecht gestützter Ausschluss von Veranstaltungen, die aufgrund eigener Entscheidung der Veranstalter einem großen Publikum ohne Ansehen der Person geöffnet werden und der für die Betroffenen in erheblichem Umfang über die Teilnahme am gesellschaftlichen Leben entscheidet. Indem ein Privater eine solche Veranstaltung ins Werk setzt, erwächst ihm von Verfassungs wegen auch eine besondere rechtliche Verantwortung. Er darf seine hier aus dem Hausrecht - so wie in anderen Fällen möglicherweise aus einem Monopol oder aus struktureller Überlegenheit - resultierende Entscheidungsmacht nicht dazu nutzen, bestimmte Personen ohne sachlichen Grund von einem solchen Ereignis auszuschließen. Die Fachgerichte haben daher sicherzustellen, dass das Stadionverbot nicht willkürlich erlassen worden ist. Das BVerfG etabliert dabei Hürden aus der verwaltungsrechtlichen Dogmatik:41 Es bedarf eines sachlichen Grundes und einer Anhörung der jeweiligen Betroffenen. Das führt letztlich zu einer „situativ staatsgleichen Grundrechtsbindung privater Akteure".”

Comment: @FortunateSons: I think this needs a bit of copyediting:
The Stadionverbots-Entscheidung (Beschl. v. 11.04.2018, Az. 1 BvR 3080/09)[1] (literally: Stadium-Ban-Decision, also known as the Stadionverbots-Beschluss) is a decision by the Bundesverfassungsgericht, the German federal constitutional court, in which a football fan unsuccessfully attempted to have his ban from German stadiums to be found to be unlawful.
Do you mean "a football fan unsuccessfully attempted to have his ban from German stadiums" rescinded or repealed? "To be found to be unlawful" doesn't really work. Viriditas (talk) 22:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The court set a higher standard for banning a fan from all stadiums for alleged misconduct, declaring some applicability of mittelbare Drittwirkung in regards to procedural rights and equality to their treatment of fans.
You will need to very briefly explain mittelbare Drittwirkung. For example you could do it like this: "The court set a higher standard for banning a fan from all stadiums for alleged misconduct, declaring some applicability of mittelbare Drittwirkung, a legal concept unique to European jurisprudence, in regards to procedural rights and equality to their treatment of fans." Viriditas (talk) 22:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: @FortunateSons: I think we really need to focus on clearly describing the topic in English. I'm seeing a few English sources that do just that.[18] So, some questions. Should the English article title be in German or in English, such as "Stadium ban decision"? No strong feelings, but we should see what policy says. Also, what year did the decision take place, 2009? If so, say that in the first sentence. Finally, try to simplify the outcome. I see two English language sources that do just this.[19][20] There are likely more. Viriditas (talk) 21:44, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TRANSLITERATE seems to be dictate that we use the English title, to the best of my understanding. If you agree, I’m happy to move it. Regarding dates: the incident was in 2006, the ban lasted from 2006 to 2008, the decision was in 2018. Which date are you referring to? Thank you for the English sources, I missed those. :)FortunateSons (talk) 09:49, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@FortunateSons: The date of the final decision should appear in the lead, as should a brief description of the incident and ban dates. If you feel comfortable moving the page, then feel free to do so. Viriditas (talk) 19:35, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I will move the page. The date for the decision is already in the lead (as it is part of how the cases are cited, with DD/MM/YYYY), and I will add the year for the incident and ban (2006), or do we need the specific dates? In scientific secondary sources, they generally don’t go in depth beyond the year, if I remember correctly. FortunateSons (talk) 21:08, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do it however you want, but I don't see any dates in the lead in plain text, just in the case format, which isn't explicit to the general reader. Sometimes a bit of redundancy helps. Also, more dates and explanation might be needed per the above. Viriditas (talk) 22:22, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I’m really not sure about the hooks.

Request for more eyes
I agree that some other hooks may be more interesting... something like ALT2 ... that a German court's decision involving football stadiums may preclude Facebook from arbitrarily deleting content?
@Crisco 1492: While it's true that Münchener Anwalts Handbuch Verwaltungsrecht is offline in print form, and Münchener Anwalts Handbuch Verwaltungsrecht is behind a paywall (it says there's another way to access it, but I couldn't do it), it looks like one other source is online and available. Kühling (2024): "The decision of the Federal Constitutional Court could also be applied to participation in social networks such as Facebook, which have excluded a user. However, if the exclusion is due to an objective reason and was not arbitrary or irrelevant, nothing can be done to counteract the exclusion" ("Die Entscheidung des BVerfG könnte auch auf die Teilnahme an sozialen Netzwerken wie z.B. Facebook übertragen werden, die einen Nutzer ausgeschlossen haben. Wenn jedoch der Ausschluss auf einen sachlichen Grund zurückzuführen ist und nicht willkürlich oder sachfremd erfolgte, kann dem Ausschluss nichts entgegengesetzt werden") Is that enought to support your hook, or can you work with that and come up with a new one? Viriditas (talk) 20:52, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you User:Crisco 1492. I'm sorry to take up your time with this. I think we might have a better success rate with your hook if we just stick to the LTO source from the article.[21] This means modifying the hook such that we only focus on the user aspects, not the content. For some ideas, I will copy and past the source for you to see, and I think that will help you determine how to modify the hook. Note, this information is also already in the article. From the linked article: "According to the Berlin sports and media lawyer Robert Golz, the decision can also be applied to other situations in which a private individual - similar to a football club - uses its decision-making power resulting from a monopoly or structural superiority to exclude certain people without objective reason. According to the lawyer, this could be the case, for example, if clubs exclude certain media representatives from their press conferences because they have, for example, expressed criticism of the club in the past. In this case, the press representatives' professional freedom and freedom of the press would be at stake. The lawyer sees further consequences of the ruling: "The Federal Constitutional Court's decision could also be applied to participation in social networks such as Facebook, which have excluded a user. However, if the exclusion is due to an objective reason and was not arbitrary or irrelevant, nothing can be done to counteract the exclusion," Golz told LTO." For what it's worth, the original nominator was leaning towards using this as a hook, but didn't have time to do so. Viriditas (talk) 21:49, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User:Crisco 1492, I think that's perfect and I want to pass it. One other thing I noticed is that the use of italics in the article is confusing. Sometimes they might be used to indicate non-English words, other times they might be used to indicate a proper name. Could you take a look? Other than that, I think we're done. If you don't see anything wrong with the italics and use of non-italics, that's fine, but I did want to have other eyes on it before I wrap this up. Viriditas (talk) 00:11, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Prefer ALT3, created by User:Crisco 1492. Original nominator previously discussed the potential of this kind of hook, but got too busy with school/work. Article is new and long enough, originally moved from draft to main space within the seven day period. QPQ not needed. Earwig shows no issues. Some sources in the article are accepted in good faith due to paywalls. Most of the others, particularly the hook itself, have been verified. Hook is short (112 chars), interesting and timely. For the sake of transparency, the original nominator was concerned that a hook like ALT3 would fall afoul of the sensationalism proscription in WP:DYKHOOK, but I don't believe it does. In the event that others disagree, my second choice would be ALT1.Article was new and long enough on 21 September when it was moved from draft to mainspace. I don't like the current hooks, partly because of the way they are written, and partly because I don't find them interesting per se, but they might be more interesting if they were rewritten. The nominator has shown that they acknowledge there are more interesting hooks to be had, particularly in terms of the legal ramifications of the decision on social media companies. I would encourage the nominator to work the kinks out and add more hooks to choose from to this nomination, or failing that, rewrite the current ones.Viriditas (talk) 00:34, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Darth Stabro, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 23 September and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout; I don't have access to all of the sources but they look to be reliable and I didn't find any issues with overly close paraphrasing on a spotcheck of ones I could access; for the image do you have any evidence it was taken by a serving US military person, other than the setting of it? Its immediate source is a US newspaper. Hook is interesting but the nickname is only mentioned in the lead and that it was awarded for "his insistence on being on the front lines" isn't mentioned.

Thanks Darth Stabro, image looks good. My only hang up is on the "because of his insistence on being on the front lines" bit of the hook. I don't think this is explicitly stated in the article. We have "Kelly's time as a chaplain was marked by an insistence on being on the front lines" and "The Marines of his division became so accustomed to seeing him that they nicknamed him "Father Foxhole" or "Foxhole Kelly"" but the two aren't linked directly.

Overall: Hi Chris! This is another well-written and well-sourced article about a Chinese historical figure. Earwig shows that it is copyvio free, and the sources for the hook check out. Personally, I find ALT1 to be more interesting, (not because I am a native Cantonese speaker,) but as many painters have their works published posthumously, it is not really that special or interesting.

Overall: Hello @さえぼー: I hope you are well! 🙂 I have just a few minor issues to fix before passing this DYK. Everything else from this review looks good, but specifically in the Reception section, could you could remove the text with the finest collection of Irish timepieces in the world as it is both not neutral and taken word-for-word from the source? Two other sentences I would change would be: Since the opening, it has been a popular tourist destination.[9] In 2024, along with the nearby Bishop's Palace, it was recognised by Tripadvisor's Travellers’ Choice Awards.[10] to The museum has become a tourist destination,[9] and in 2024 was recognised, along with the nearby Bishop's Palace, by Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Awards.[10] for more neutrality, and [...] and to participate in the Epic Walking Tour, a guided walk around the Viking Triangle.[12] to and to participate in a guided walk around the Viking Triangle.[12] again for more neutrality.

This is not a full review right now(I'll try and get that done in a little bit), but I personally believe the hooks aren't really interesting enough for DYK, ALT0, and definitely more so. I didn't spot any eye-catching facts in my very brief pre-skim, but if @Chaiten1: has any other hooks from the article, feel free to add. If anyone disagrees that these are interesting, please ping me so we can discuss. --PixDeVlyell talk to me!23:38, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @PixDeVl: I have one more offline source to check out, but I will come up with a couple more hooks to try out. The guy served in two World Wars, was in the chemical weapons unit at the Somme, and published his last article at the age of 94, so I am sure there's something to be found. Here are two more:
ALT2 ..that Walter Campbell Smith's training in mineralogy led him to volunteer with the chemical warfare unit of British army during World War 1?
Source: Foulkes, Charles (1934). Gas! The story of the Special Brigade. William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh. p. 62. "The twelve volunteers joined at Helfaut ... and were of the greatest assistance in our first three gas attacks. ... Campbell Smith stayed on in the special brigade" [offline source]
ALT3 ..that geologist Walter Campbell Smith was still writing papers at the age of 94?
Awesome, thanks @Chaiten1:, I'll do the review soon. If you get any others from your offline source feel free to add and ping me. I'm leaning toward using ALT3 personally, but if you have something more interesting we can definitely go for it. --PixDeVlyell talk to me!17:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Looks good to me @Chaiten1: I'm going to WP:BOLDLY go ahead and give this full approval since I'm fairly confident in this being a compliment with the criteria(if someone disagrees please correct me). I will suggest before promoting that perhaps expanding ALT1 to mention who he beat(the guy who pioneered radiometric dating) would probably be interesting enough since beating someone who made such a significant contribution by being better at a now dead language is a fun tidbit.

@Generalissima: are you sure it's correct to say that Sun "founded" the university? The article doesn't quite state it in that way. It seems that technically the university was established by the first edict of the Guangxu Emperor as part of the Hundred Days' Reform? If it is correct, was he the sole founder or a co-founder? Onceinawhile (talk) 11:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Generalissima: sorry to be difficult but are you sure that is right? It doesn't say founder or co-founder anywhere in the article. This source says: "On July 3, 1898, Emperor Guangxu approved a report to implement the Imperial University of Peking and to draft its charter. Sun Jianai, a senior Chinese official, was appointed “guanli daxuetang shiwu dachen,” or the (education) minister for the imperial university's affairs." The "guanli daxuetang shiwu dachen" is zh:Category:管理大学堂事务大臣. If we are to use co-founder we will need a source stating that. Onceinawhile (talk) 19:10, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... that Frederick Prigg and his predecessor in the Oregon provisional government's secretary position were both doctors who died by drowning in a river at Oregon City just three years apart?
Source: On p. 11 of the "Oregon Secretaries of State, Biographical Sketches, 1841-Present", it says John Edward Long was a physician, then goes on to say "Long served as secretary of the provisional government from May 25, 1844 to June 21, 1846. … He served in that position until he was drowned while fording the Clackamas River." In the next paragraph, the source says Frederick Prigg was a physician, then says "Prigg was appointed secretary of the provisional government to succeed Long … He fell to his death from a bluff into the Willamette River at Oregon City in October 1849." The same events are covered in Footnote 74 on p.36 of Bancroft’s History of Oregon, Volume II, but that source say Dr Long drown in the Willamette River at Oregon City (vice Clackamas River, which also flows through Oregon City). As a result, I decided not to name the river in the hook … instead of just said "river", which applies regardless of which river he drowned in.

Article is new enough (just out of draft space), long enough and appropriately referenced. The images have appropriate permissions (CC-BY-SA etc). No copyvio problems. The hook is short enough, but perhaps is missing a word or two - are they landscape painters? Is there anything surprising about this? Should the hook link to these two as well?

I have slight reservations about the reliability of the sources; although this is a personal thing, I don't really have hard reasoning to object to, and given the context of the topic, it should be fine.

@PixDeVl: Thanks for this review. Regarding the source, Kuensel is a major newspaper in Bhutan and as such should be considered trustworthy unless determined otherwise.

Ideally, someone else would see this and review it soon, but if not, I'd probably be fine looking again(although a second set of eyes is better than a second look) and approving(I already felt comfortable enough to fully approve another nom anyway).

Review: Hook fact is cited in the article to an RS, and is sufficiently interesting; hook length is ok; earwig copyvio shows no issues; DYK check shows 5 x expansion so article is valid for DYK: Assuming article is at 5x now, expansion began 60 edits ago on September 29, 2024; 223 characters to 4,485 characters is actually a 20x expansion; article is long enough; article is presentable, stable and fully cited (note it was recently saved from AfD by the nominator); QPQ done. Either hook considered acceptable. Good stuff! ResonantDistortion08:38, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everything looks good in terms of meeting the criteria for DYK but the hooks are lackluster (€464,000 isn't that fascinating a sum for a major chocolate factory). I recommend you look to a different aspect of the topic for the hook. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:41, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for taking on this review! I was not sure about the hook myself. Alternatives could be that it's (1) the second solo ice show tour to be ever produced or (2) that the show deals with the ethics of artificial intelligence among others (which is a rather unusual topic for an entertainment event).

I'm only approving the first hook as the second hook is less interesting and more complicated; it is a "first" hook, but the sourcing required for the claim isn't exceptional and so it should be acceptable in this case.

Article is long, new, and presentable enough, and as well-cited as a figure this obscure can be. The hook cites a reliable source and is quite interesting, as "board game designer" was an extremely rare profession in 1908, and dramatically more so for a single 57-year-old woman. I might like it if the hook included both game names, though — perhaps "... that L'Attaque, the board game that became Stratego, was patented in 1908 by a 57-year-old woman?"

Earwig looks good apart from the close paraphrasing noted above (basically all of the other similarity is a direct quote, which is attributed and cited. QPQ is good as well. I'm cool with either hook, both interesting IMO and sourcing checks out apart from a small wording question.

QPQ: - ? Overall: Hi Gerda Arendt, happy to do the DYK review. The article has a readable prose size of 4310 characters. It was created yesterday. Every paragraph in the body of the article is sourced. WP:EARWIG shows no copyright problems. QPQ has not yet been done. I have a minor quibble about the hook: it seems to me that it tries to convey too many individual facts. What about something simpler like
ALT1: ...that Sequenza XIV was composed in 2002 as Luciano Berio's final work in his series begun in 1958?
Thank you for reviewing, and the suggestions. I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Mind. I believe that the one thing fascinating "Maestro Berio" (as he is called by the cellist) as well as the ordinary Main page reader is this drumming. We can rather do without the series if it's really too much. I can also imagine to improve the series article to make it a double hook. ALT1 is no option for me because some kind of reverence for the cellist (and drummer) was the motivation to write the article. Making him GA seemed harder ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But I think your original suggestion also meets the DYK requirements so the decision may be more a matter of taste. Approved. Phlsph7(talk) 07:57, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I think that ALT3 is a bit smallish, - the childhood drumming is just part of the inspiration, the playing of one of the most inspiring cellists of all times should not be left out completely ;) - I learned of his death from a friend who is a cellist, and felt his enthusiasm remembering a live concert of Xenakis. Berio knew why he added to a series that had already been considered complete ("complete" recording in 1995), - it's an outstanding piece in every respect and deserves a little longer hook, imho. We can't use any of the pics, sadly, because de Saram's is not free, and Berio's is way too young for one of his last works. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One last alternative if we want to go for the full package: what do you think about the following, a version of ALT0 copy-edited only for better flow:

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review! Some more suggestions:
Would ALT4 be better? I also thought something along the lines of the mind being in pursuit of understanding itself but not sure if that would be supported by the sources. I also think this image would work well.Polyamorph (talk) 07:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Polyamorph and thanks for your suggestions. I think ALT4 would also work as an alternative to ALT2. We would probably have to remove the word "scientific" since it is not clear whether philosophy qualifies as a science:
I also believe that ALT2 is fine. The image is licensed. However, I personally feel that it tries to illustrate the capacities of the mind and fails - at least for me, can't see "though" and "action" at a glance. But that may be just me. If you want to use that image, you will need some form of saying (pictured) in ALT2a to come. Good luck with that, I'll watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are right that it's difficult to illustrate an abstract concept such as the mind. Using a light bulb as a symbol of thought or a hammer in hand as a symbol of action is not that uncommon but how easily people understand these symbols may depend on their cultural background. The image is not essential to the hook so if there are doubts, we could also go without it. Phlsph7 (talk) 11:39, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is well-sourced, long enough, new enough. There are a few grammatical mistakes, but they can be easily corrected. It's a good hook in principle, but needs to be rephrased. Maybe something like: she started as both a goalkeeper and right-back in the 1972 season? Cardofk (talk) 08:10, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The hook doesn't need to be rephrased, it makes perfect sense. Unlike the proposal, which as written could be misunderstood to suggest she did both at the same time. Kingsif (talk) 21:44, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's funny, because that is what I thought when I read the hook, that she played both at the same time. Cardofk (talk) 07:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC) Please understand that as the audience, all I have are the words on the screen and not the information behind them. While it may appear to make perfect sense to the author, to the audience small meanings matter. All I wanted to do was help and I did say "something like". Cardofk (talk) 09:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps it's a terminology issue, then, as "starting goalkeeper" means first-choice goalkeeper, but without effectively insulting the other options. If you think first-choice will be better understood by a wider audience, we should go with that. And maybe there's other word issues, because several of your in-article substitutions (word choices aren't grammar, BTW) are using words that are not synonyms and are thereby obfuscating meaning, please stop. Kingsif (talk) 21:22, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, I've read/translated the source material, it doesn't explain why she played there. With such a brief match report, you've done your best to get a hook out of it. Cardofk (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cardofk: Absolutely don't worry, trying to get stuck in yourself ;) Being pretty familiar with the players and team, I can say that Llansà had previously (as the article mentions) played in defense at least once, and that teams at the time weren't robust enough that they always had enough players. This is when position shenanigans usually happened. Llansà was the best goalkeeper they had, but if the team didn't have enough defenders and she was so much a better defender than the second choice goalkeeper, balancing the squad is probably the reason. More recent sources are more in-depth, but maybe too fluffy for me personally to want to use for a hook. Kingsif (talk) 21:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Yakikaki, review follows: article created on 8 October and exceeds minimum length; sources are cited inline throughout; sources look to be reliable; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from the English-language sources; hook fact is interesting, stated in the article and checks out to source cited and elsewhere (and the image of the book itself!); image is good and well out of copyright.

The article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination. I did not find any close paraphrasing. A QPQ has been done and is complete. Both hooks are cited inline and verified. The first hook is a "first" hook, but given that the NHL itself verified it, that meets the exceptional sourcing requirement. The second hook is verified in the link. Although the first hook is cute, I think the second hook is the more catchy of the two and also the quirkiest, so my preference is for ALT1.

@Soman and Gerda Arendt: a couple of things. Firstly, on English terminology: notwithstanding the direct translation of "Feldkapelle", a "chapel" in English is usually a room in a larger building. I would instead call this a "shrine" or similar.Secondly, on WP:DYKINT: perhaps we could trim the bits about his various jobs and focus on the chapel? To me, it is interesting that it is now a hiking destination, or that a ceremony has been held on the same feast day since 1984, the day of its consecration. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 08:58, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
learning English: this is the first time I hear that chapel has a different meaning from Kapelle. We could do nothing, relying on "usually". We could use the original Feldkapelle, which would clarify better that it is in nature (which the image shows - open to the front) but not clearly. "Shrine" tells me that there are some relics, such as those of Hildegard of Bingen in the village church of Eibingen (not the abbey). Wrong? - As for shortening: yes we could stop right after Gotteslob which speaks of responsibility for the common German-language hymnal (for German-language countries that is), far beyond the Würzburg diocese, and far far beyond some little open space in the fields. I only picked it because of the image, and because he loved Mary as well as church music. Yes, there was one piece to Mary sung in the Requiem, but the heavy weight was on Mozart's Requiem. - Just today I remember a 10-years-old hook about Mela Tenenbaum, and am happy that it says something about geography in her life and dedication of music to her, and not just that she played a piece with an unusual instrumentation, or just that she played on Queen Elizabeth 2. Happy also to have mentioned Ukraine in 2014. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:21, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, perhaps using the original Feldkapelle would be best. The image is also rather low-quality and probably shouldn't be used. With that in mind, I'm rather struck by his work on confirmations—including the 500 in Tanzania. If he considered that work his prime duty, he'd probably prefer a hook on it—and you get something about geography in his life too. What do you think? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok for ALT1. I'm still also ok with the original hook, a kapelle is a chapel and a feldkapelle is a field chapel.

Page has been nominated to GA recently enough. The page is good and the hook is interesting. The source says that he "participated in covert investigations into criminal and administrative allegations involving members of the New Orleans Police Department", so it doesn't explicitly say that he "posed as a corrupt officer", so a better/more explicit source is probably needed.

Approve ALT0. Interesting article. New enough (submitted on day of creation); long enough (4176 characters). Has multiple sources in English, appears BLP-compliant.

The one exception I might make is if someone went out of their way to use "Anonymous" as their byline.) Reads neutral; the large number of direct quotes makes it read a bit like a magazine article rather than an encyclopedia entry, but this isn't a show-stopper either, as the quotes appear to appropriately cite their sources. Spot check suggests copyright violation is not a problem. The single boldlinked article looks presentable. QPQ is done. There is no photo. This leaves the hooks.

Overall: Article looks good, giving a complete overview of the subject's biography, thoroughly citing its sources and presenting facts in a neutral manner. Per WP:DYKHOOK, "first" hooks are given greater scrutiny, but I think this meets the criteria for exceptional sourcing as RFI and other sources all draw attention to Falaeo being the first; the fact can also be independently verified by looking at the list of presidents of the congress (linked in the hook). Only thing currently missing is a QPQ, feel free to ping me once that is done. Grnrchst (talk) 14:35, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: New enough, long enough. No copyright problems. Article and hooks are sourced. ALT0 is the more interesting and it is the one I approve. Great job! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 23:22, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Pretty much every article talking about her mentions the belly rubs. She definitely has a personality, and an aquarium fish wanting belly rubs is definitely not something people would expect at first (although, lungfish are weird like this, eh?)

Interesting individual! Fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I think the hook is cute. Having said that, her name is also cute so you might want to display it. Minor suggestions: Everything in the lead should be sourced in the body, and "lungfish" comes rather late. I'd drop the See also completely, but in case you want to keep it: everything but the link has to go for formality reason. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:54, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Fine by me if we add her name, what about ALT1: ... that Methuselah, the oldest living aquarium fish, likes belly rubs?
I'm okay with dropping the "See also", although ironically that's the only part I haven't written, so maybe we can ask Di (they-them).
Regarding the lead, the fact that it's an Australian lungfish is sourced, although I'm not sure how to cleanly add it earlier in the body without moving the whole "Description" section (which I haven't finished writing, there's a lot more about her). I would be open to any advice, thanks a lot! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:42, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Article is new enough, having been moved from draftspace on October 12.
Three times the required length, certainly long enough.
Very well sourced, copyvio doesn't show anything substantial, no POV or BLP issues to be found.
Article is presentable. If we want to quibble on the details, the second picture is staggered from the infobox on V10, but that's not the kind of presentability issue that really matters at DYK.
Thankfully, the book is in open access! The first hook is fully cited there, and the second one is mostly cited there, although it does not mention that the will was drafted prior to him becoming Attorney General. To be fair, as Hopkins died two years prior, the inference is pretty obvious.
Both hooks are short enough.
The first hook is not necessarily amazing, as it already presumes knowledge of what a state's attorney in a city is (I didn't realize it was a distinct position from "attorney general" at first), and it isn't that surprising that someone drafting a constitution would get one of the offices it established. ALT1 is more interesting in my opinion, although it might depend on how recognizable Johns Hopkins is.
All images used in the article are public domain, and the hook image is present in the article and clear at a diminished size, so it is a good image.

New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. All paragraphs cited. NPOV okay. Earwig and spot checking done. ALT1 is cited, but a bit humdrum. The ALT0 hook is better, but the fact does not appear in the article, and the Census article linked to above indicates three rather than five speakers. Alternatively, perhaps an ALT2 of something like "... Neath Hotel has 25 guest rooms for a village population of 430?" (25 is from their website, www.theneath.com.au/about) Edwardx (talk) 19:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed the blatant error in the hook. I think it's reasonable to state the number of Tok Pisin speakers in the article, so I'll add that. I do slightly prefer ALT0 to your proposed ALT2, though, since it's a bit more surprising. Cheers, Cremastra — talk — c19:32, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article long enough and recent move from draftspace. No copyvio detected, hook interesting and cited inline with a verified source. Image appropriately licensed. QPQ done, so good to go. Juxlos (talk) 08:04, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Robertson: 'Subjects of the emperor appear to be specially privileged.'
Naismith: 'Traders in London came from all over northern Europe: those of Rouen,
Flanders, Ponthieu, Normandy and Francia are singled out, as well as others from
specific towns in the Low Countries (Huy, Liège and Nivelles) and a group referred
to as ‘the men of the emperor’ (homines imperatoris) who had especially wideranging
privileges.'

Hi Sahaib, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 16 October and is of good length; article is well written and cited inline throughout; I hadn't heard of the publisher used for the citaiton for the hook but the author looks like they are reliable, holding a PhD and having written on the history of Scottish police elsewher (and being a former police superintendent); hook fact is mentioned in the article and supported by the source; image is OK and looks to be public domain by virtue of age; I didn't pick up any issues with overly-close paraphrasing from the online sources; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks OK to me - Dumelow (talk) 10:24, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... that Bahamian basketball player Waltiea Rolle moved to the United States at the age of 13 after being discovered by a talent scout while walking home from school?
ALT3: ... that Bahamian basketball player Waltiea Rolle moved to the United States at the age of 13 after being discovered by Olympic track and field medalist Frank Rutherford while walking home from school?
ALT4: ... that Bahamian basketball player Waltiea Rolle moved to the United States at the age of 13 after being discovered by Olympic medalist Frank Rutherford while walking home from school??
Overall: Would it be quirkier to replace "talent scout" for Rutherford with "Olympic track and field medalist" i.e. different sport, cachet of Olympics?[37] For ALT2, this is a bit better source that she became the first instead of relying on one anticipating that she "will" be be the first. —Bagumba (talk) 18:26, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm OK with the ALT0 format, which I assume was also your preferred one? Typically, in the spirit of WP:TALK#REPLIED, it's best to just create a new ALT, to avoid anyone looking at the discussion getting confused.—Bagumba (talk) 18:50, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiOriginal-9: Sorry if it wasn't clear. Everything in the hook must be mentioned in prose and sourced in the bolded link i.e. Rolle's page, not Rutherford's page (though you can improve that too, it's just not required for DYK). The focus is on the bolded target.—Bagumba (talk) 17:58, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3 seems more interesting as it mentions Rutherford's background being in a different sport. If a backup is somehow needed, ALT2 also checked out.—Bagumba (talk) 05:36, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Beautiful photos here! It is new enough, long enough, the QPQ is good, the article is well-written and reliably sourced, and the photo is clear and attractive at this size. But I don't think there's anything unusual or interesting about this fact—that a hike is popular, long, and elevated is not that remarkable. I also tagged an issue with "Summerland" being referred to without introduction. ꧁Zanahary꧂07:37, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Expansion is fine (this has nothing in common with the earlier collection of unverified trivia), the first hook is verified, I don't see any plagiarism, paragraphs are sourced, the image is properly licensed, etc. I like the first hook best.
