  • Not interesting and a coatrack, since Huasun is surely not the person who made these decisions. (t · c) buidhe 00:07, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Buidhe: As Qin represented his country in the UNSC, he made the decision based on his country's political position. However, prior to 2011, China's vetoes in the UNSC were rare and only four times [1] were it used prior to the start of the 21st century. Since the mentioned vetoes were related to sending peacekeeping troops, it might be interesting as the users would look into the article to see why the peacekeeping resolutions were vetoed. However, if you any ideas for another hook in the article or if I should modify it in a certain phrasing, I am happy to consider that. - Toadboy123 (talk) 09:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
      • Yes, I know how the UN works. Certainly the hook phrasing makes it sound like a coatrack. Frankly not all articles are suited for DYK and this one may not be. Peacekeeping is not inherently dull but UN resolutions can be, especially if there is no real information what the vote is really about. Furthermore, the article as it stands does not qualify due to sourcing. (t · c) buidhe 13:23, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Buidhe: Is there anything that I should do to improve the article such as adding more reliable sources or expanding the information regarding the reasons of the vetoed resolutions so that the article can be featured in DYK ? Or does the article does not have the information much needed for the DYK? I can improve the article based on your suggestions but if you feel there is no room for it in DYK then you can cancel this nomination. - Toadboy123 (talk) 02:26, 7 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
          • @Buidhe: I have added detailed information on the vetoed UN resolutions. Let me know if anything more has to be done. - Toadboy123 (talk) 06:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
  • Since I have not heard any response from the previous reviewer, can a new reviewer check the updates to the hook I made and if it is good to go? - Toadboy123 (talk) 03:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Much to whinge about here I'm afraid. As written, the biography section would deserve {{subsections}}, and much of its early paragraphs can feel more than a bit WP:Proseline at times and would deserve {{prose}}. None of the hook has an end-of-sentence citation, and given that WP:CLUMP says that "more than three [references] should generally be avoided", I'm not going through four. Take your time, and ping me when these are remedied.--Launchballer 10:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Soulbust and BeanieFan11: There's a chunk of unsourced content in the Team Falcons section which needs to be cited before this can be promoted. Also, what makes refs 1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 26, and 28 (the tweets and YouTube) reliable?--Launchballer 13:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Didn't see an unsourced chunk, but just a sentence that mentions Zer0 will maintain his IGL role for the new team. In any case, I added the proper source for that now. Addressing the sources you brought up:
Ref 1 (tweet from DarkZero and sources just his birth day & month);
Ref 3 (Video from his former org Reignite, sourcing himself stating his name),
Ref 4 (another esports org (FFL/Fennel) interviewing Zer0, this just sources himself saying he is from Brisbane),
Ref 5 (this is just EXO Clan announcing their roster addition of Zer0),
Ref 11 (this is an official ALGS esports account to source Zer0 winning MVP of a tournament),
Ref 12 (this is Reignite announcing the departure of Zer0, added to source the exact 4 July 2022 date mentioned in article)
Ref 26 (this is sourcing an interview where Zer0 himself states he himself had a reputation of choking match points)
Ref 28 (this is an additional source to reference Zer0 being discussed as one of the best IGLs in the world, with source being from a post-tournament interview of Zer0 and posted onto the aforementioned official ALGS esports account from Ref. 11)
I fail to see the issue with any of these sources and how they would not be reliable? None of the information Zer0 states about himself (Refs. 3, 4, 26) is in violation of WP:SELFSOURCE. Ref 1 is also not in violation of that. The other sources are just citing official roster announcements (Ref 5, 12), or are from an official account of the sport's organizing body (Refs 11 and 28). I don't see how the use of these sources, particularly for what they are citing are in violation of WP:PRIMARY, for example. Soulbust (talk) 16:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ornithoptera and Yue: What makes the hooks WP:DYKINTeresting?--Launchballer 10:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Apologies, I likely missed the absence of an explicit point of general interest because of my own interest in the series. I am unable to word the original hook in a way that is sound and under the character limit. I propose this alteration of ALT1, if you will, ALT2:
... that in addition to her popular manga series Delicious in Dungeon, Ryoko Kui has drawn fan art of the computer role-playing games Baldur's Gate series, Pathfinder and Planescape: Torment?
Marginally better, although I'd expect a more merciless prepbuilder to end it at 'games' and cut the 'the'. I don't plan on promoting any more hooks while there are five hooks in the bottom set, but if you've got anything else, I might as well hear it.--Launchballer 20:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JuanGLP, thank you, I prefer your hook so I have struck mine. Also, the reason for "unlikely" from Earwig is because the 22.5% similarity is coming from a quote in the "Career" section, properly enclosed in quotes and attributed via citation.

To eliminate redundancy of the word "train", perhaps the last three words "to train on" could be removed? --Habst (talk) 17:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AGF on the sources. Hook is interesting but it's cited to the Athletic; so AGF here too. A couple of issues: (1) his height is listed as 6-4 and also as 6-2.

The article properly uses in-line citations and the copyvio detector finds nothing outside of groups and positions. The hook is interesting and cited inline. The QPQ has been done.

I don't think that helps. If the point is that the first he placed an actual game of American football while in the NFL and never played the game before, that could probably be made clearer.

Better, although I've just noticed that much of the "Algorithmically-generated columns" lacks of end-of-paragraph citations, is this covered by another policy?--Launchballer 14:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’ll fix that—I think it’s a relic from when that content was a single paragraph. It all comes from just one source. Zanahary (talk) 16:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me. I don't plan on promoting this while there are five hooks in the bottom set, but this is ready.--Launchballer 16:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I would suggest having some alternatives. ときさき くるみ not because they are easy, but because they are hard 15:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article, although not quite enough to violate my policy of doing my QPQs oldest first. I will say that this article is being edited a lot and is probably not stable. For now, I recommend ALT0a: ... that McDonald's Vietnam was boycotted after appropriating a slogan by a recently deceased Chinese gamer?--Launchballer 15:47, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • ALT1: ... that a Chinese gamer named Fat Cat tragically died by suicide after transferring a large sum of money to his girlfriend, who wished to end their relationship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGreatPeng (talk • contribs)
I'd lose 'tragically' for concision, but I'll let a reviewer make that choice. Full review needed.--Launchballer 18:38, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hooks must not contain redirects or contractions, although to be fair that's probably not far off the hook I would have suggested. For concision, I suggest ALT2a: ... that when people ordered fast food take-out to commemorate Fat Cat's suicide, multiple restaurants delivered empty packages?--Launchballer 08:20, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend ALT0a with image. TheGreatPeng (talk) 08:45, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, well sourced, and BDP-compliant; AGF on its verifiability against the Chinese sources as well as the accuracy of its translation, although I did make some copy edits here and there. Nominator is exempted from doing a QPQ, this being their third nomination in a total of four. Passing ALT0a for its concision and potential to entice audiences into reading the article. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 16:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Nineteen Ninety-Four guy, you don't mention the image in your review. Is it appropriate and adequately visible to be run with any of the hooks? Given that ALT0a doesn't mention Fat Cat by name, or his means of death, the image caption doesn't really go with the hook. (I just looked, and the image here is not currently in the article, having been swapped out for another one on 20 May, which makes it ineligible for DYK usage. I'll let you decide whether the new image is useful and should be included here instead as part of your updated review—I can't tell whether they're even pictures of the same bridge!) BlueMoonset (talk) 04:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @BlueMoonset: I apologize about that, and thanks for striking through the rejected hooks. As a follow-up, the images on both this entry and the boldlinked article are freely-licensed, albeit swapped out; but neither one is used in the approved hook, thus hook image is clearly not going to end up in the main page. That being said, the alt hook is interesting enough that it can manage without either image caption; I just hope the DYK prepper places it at the bottom of the queue or nearby it at least.

ALT1: ... that depictions of Tobias and the Angel usually show his dog?
really says everything that has to be said, in less space. RoySmith (talk) 13:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it is unusual-and it is very unusual-is the hooky bit. It's a short hook anyway. Johnbod (talk) 14:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The point of a hook is to be short and sweet, and leave just a little mystery, enticing the reader to click through to the article. There's no need to tell people this is a religious subject, that's obvious from the title of the painting. And there's no need to tell them it's unusual, the fact that there's a dog speaks for that itself. RoySmith (talk) 15:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dubious - gaming/superhero culture is chock full of angels with no religious context at all, & I'm sure vast numbers of our readers have no opinion at all on the frequency with which dogs appear in Christian religious art. Johnbod (talk) 15:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • 5× expansion of 6 May 2024‎ version completed from 898 characters to 4,527 and nominated eight days later (calculating from this version as opposed to the 2 May version makes this just one day late, so I'm willing to invoke WP:IAR). No copyvios detected (AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 97 characters long (ALT1 is 61); both are under 200 character max. and are interesting. AGF book for ref 7 (verifying the hook) which is offline. QPQ done. Image is free and in the public domain. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - The second source does not appear to be accessible to me; although the full quote is included here I am unable to verify this.
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting article, passes newness, length, copyvio and sourcing policies. QPQ done. I'm unable to verify the quote using the second source provided, so a replacement will be needed before I can pass this. Would also like to see another round of copy-editing on the article to clean up a few errors. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 09:30, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Sims2aholic8: Hi! Nice to meet you! Just completed copyediting as per your request. The link for the article for some reason doesn't allow for external access which is really weird, as you have mentioned. Here is a HTML link through Google Scholar that I used, but if this doesn't work, search for the title on the site and it should be the first result.

  • @Evrik and Zanahary: please could you double check the source for the hook? I found it online via Academia.edu here. My reading is that Ankudinov thinks that there was only oral tradition before the 18th-century vita. After discussing two 17th century documents, the sentence on pages 86 and 87 says "Возможно, это свидетельствует о том, что к этому времени текст Жития Ксенофонта еще не сложился, и среди населения бытовали лишь устные предания о преподобном. [Perhaps this indicates that by this time the text of the Life of Xenophon had not yet been formed, and only oral traditions about the saint existed among the population. via Google translate]". TSventon (talk) 16:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is accurate, I am not sure it is surprising. I think the article needs some work, hopefully Чръный человек can help. TSventon (talk) 16:19, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: New enough, long enough. Earwig detects 51.6% match due to a cited passage in the article so that is not a problem. Quotes that result in a match are cited. The hooks are cited and are interesting. Preference for ALT0 and ALT2. QPQ has been completed! Great work, cheers! Ornithoptera (talk) 19:15, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
