Instructions for nominators[edit]
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.
Frequently asked questions[edit]
Backlogged?[edit]
This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until 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.
Where is my hook?[edit]
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.
Instructions for other editors[edit]
How to promote an accepted hook[edit]
- See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
- In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
- In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
- In the prep set...
- Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
- Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
- Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
- Back on DYK nomination page...
- change
{{DYKsubpage
to{{subst:DYKsubpage
- change
|passed=
to|passed=yes
- Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save
- change
How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue[edit]
- Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
- Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there should have been a link to it in the credits section).
- View the edit history for that page
- Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
- Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
- Add a transclusion of the template back to 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.

- Expanded 5x, from 319 to 1614 characters; long enough. Well-sourced, neutral, no plagiarism. I like the first hook; its source is reliable. Great image; I agree that's a better one than the book cover. Well done taking a stub to a short-ish and salvageable article. Good to go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Figureskatingfan (talk • contribs) 21:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
I have pulled this nom from prep, as it fails to include a summary of the book's contents and thus fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. It also contains at least two errors, one which says Evanier "obtained" artworks from Kirby "while working for him" - he only obtained access, and not apparently while working for him, and another which says the book was met with "positive" reviews when in fact it was panned by The Guardian critic. The article clearly needs more work before it can be featured, if it should be featured at all given the apparent errors. Gatoclass (talk) 09:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I took a look at this. The summary is extremely short, to the point of remaining woefully incomplete. Still fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Time to pass on this as the nominator just isn't accepting what they are being told.4meter4 (talk) 13:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- @4meter4: I've expanded it a bit how much would be needed? I fear that to much would just be a mini biography of Jack Kirby. It took me a while to begin writing the summary as I didnt have my copy at the time.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 14:40, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- OlifanofmrTennant The summary needs to present a complete but not overly detailed picture of the book's entire plot. It should provide enough detail to give the reader a general picture of the book's contents. It should not be too vague (which it currently is) nor should it be overly detailed. It should be a summary. See MOS:PLOT and Wikipedia:Summary style for guidance. I would suggest removing the bulleted point by chapter. It isn't entirely necessary to break down the content into chapters. It would be better to concentrate on narrative. What is the story being told? Summarize that story. Since this is a biography it should be biographical. Best.4meter4 (talk) 14:57, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books/Non-fiction article on summaries for non-fiction such as biographies. It might be helpful to think about how you would summarize the book if you were writing for a summary on the book jacket of the back of the book, or if you were having to write a book summary for an English class, or an abstract for a journal article book review in which a summary is provided as part of a review. All of those require narrative and details but still succinct writing with an overview scope. You should be able to craft one or two paragraps of prose that summarizes the book's narrative arc. 4meter4 (talk) 15:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

- I have. I've just been struggling to do so as I havent written a book article before.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:21, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
I took a re-look and I think the summary is now sufficiently in-depth to pass WP:DYKCOMPLETE. I would have preferred a paragraph structure with smoother prose, but that is no reason to hold up a DYK review. All other DYK criteria check out. However, portions of both the Alt1 and Alt2 hook facts are not currently in the article. The quote "nowhere near finished" is not in the article, and there is no mention of a friendship between Evanier and Kirby. For this reason, only the original hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 16:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @4meter4: I made a few new hooks as those arent the best. Also since ALT0 is wrong I rephrased it. Also ALT2 is included now.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- OlifanofmrTennant Please add citations directly after each hook fact. Any sentence with a fact in a hook must have a citation to pass DYK review. In just rechecking Alt2, the sentence with the hook fact lacks a citation and the text that's in quotes in the hook is not in quotes in the article. Is this a quote? If it is it needs to be in quotes in the article's prose. If it's not a quote then it should not be in quotes within the hook sentence. I'm not going to even look at the other hooks until you have fixed this one and can assure me all the necessary citations are in place. Ping me when you are ready.4meter4 (talk) 17:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @4meter4: its there, its the gaurdian source. But reguardless I used the citation again higher in the paragraph.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant In looking at the Alt2 hook fact, it is not a quote of Evanier directly but it is a quote of The Guardian. The text needs to attribute it to The Guardian in quotes in both the article and the hook, or its a problem with WP:Plagiarism. This needs to be fixed. We can't promote an article with plagiarism issues. Now that I've seen this, I'm going to have to go through all the sources and make sure there aren't other issues of non-attributed text or close paraphrasing. I had trusted the original reviewer had done this, but I'm going to have to re-review with a careful eye on any copyright violations. In the mean time, please put the attributions for this quote in the article. Also, I was asking earlier for you to confirm that all the citations were in place for the many alt hooks you proposed. I don't want to have to keep coming back here and asking again for more citations. Every hook fact must have a citation immediately following the sentence of the hook fact. This may mean we duplicate citations in ways that we may not do when not featuring an article at DYK. This is one of those hoops that DYK requires, even if it seems redundant.4meter4 (talk) 19:12, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer, OlifanofmrTennant, 4meter4, and AirshipJungleman29: I'm having to reopening this, as it looks like the point made by Gatoclass above, that the hook mentions that Evanier "obtained" artworks from Kirby "while working for him" was not addressed, and that hook is not supported by the article. All I can see is "Evanier worked for Kirby and was a friend of his, giving him additional insight while writing the book", which isn't the same thing. On a more minor note, the second paragraph of the "Development" section is cited entirely to the book itself, which would be a WP:PRIMARY source. For a statement like "Kirby's family re-obtained the art following a public campaign to have them returned and legal threats from Kirby" I'd think a secondary source highly preferable.

the issues above are still not addressed, this is the third time it's been mentioned now. The only change to the article since my issue was raised above, was to add a couple more cites, but the problem is thathte article does not say anything about him obtaining works from Kirby while working from him. Come on please, the objections need to be addressed directly. Given that this has already been marked as "rejected" twice above and issues still remain more than two months later, it may be getting close to time to archive this and move on. — Amakuru (talk) 15:24, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

- Striking ALT1 due to WP:BLP issues; original hook struck because "scheming them" is confusing given the context: what does scheming a contract even mean? Please propose a new hook. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- I strongly disagree with you that ALT1 is "negative" and a BLP issue. The wording is clear that he was accused, not convicted, of smuggling cocaine. It plainly does not violate BLP because it's sourced to the Associated Press, considered generally reliable at WP:RSP. Being accused of smuggling narcotics in an arm cast is unusual, quirky, absurd. ALT1 can be modified slightly to say that Malchow "was once detained" to lessen a perception that crime is Malchow's MO. But I find it odd to read it this way. SWinxy (talk) 18:06, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- SWinxy, it isn't just me: the consensus I'm seeing in the WT:DYK thread is that ALT1 is both negative and a BLP issue. "Accused" and "detained" both sound bad, and to add "once" would simply be read by most people that it happened in the past, not that it happened to him only once in his life: either way, he's painted as a drug smuggler on Wikipedia's front page. I strongly advise you to come up with an ALT2 that features a different set of facts, since ALT1—though you clearly like it—isn't going to be accepted at DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I liked it and think it's interesting, yeah. el.ziade seemed to think so too in approving it, PrimalMustelid promoted it, and RoySmith said that
- SWinxy, it isn't just me: the consensus I'm seeing in the WT:DYK thread is that ALT1 is both negative and a BLP issue. "Accused" and "detained" both sound bad, and to add "once" would simply be read by most people that it happened in the past, not that it happened to him only once in his life: either way, he's painted as a drug smuggler on Wikipedia's front page. I strongly advise you to come up with an ALT2 that features a different set of facts, since ALT1—though you clearly like it—isn't going to be accepted at DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- I strongly disagree with you that ALT1 is "negative" and a BLP issue. The wording is clear that he was accused, not convicted, of smuggling cocaine. It plainly does not violate BLP because it's sourced to the Associated Press, considered generally reliable at WP:RSP. Being accused of smuggling narcotics in an arm cast is unusual, quirky, absurd. ALT1 can be modified slightly to say that Malchow "was once detained" to lessen a perception that crime is Malchow's MO. But I find it odd to read it this way. SWinxy (talk) 18:06, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Striking ALT1 due to WP:BLP issues; original hook struck because "scheming them" is confusing given the context: what does scheming a contract even mean? Please propose a new hook. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

- I've been a bit busy lately, so this has fallen by the wayside. I'm going to be freer after the Trump trial concludes. SWinxy (talk) 01:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- @SWinxy, RoySmith, and Elias Ziade: - How about:
- Alt2 ... that during his career, Hal Malchow consulted for every Democratic presidential nominee from 1988 through 2004?
- Alt3 ... that during his career, Hal Malchow consulted for every Democratic presidential nominee from 1988 through 2004, over 30 senatorial campaigns, and 20 gubernatorial campaigns?
- --evrik (talk) 16:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Evrik, I have no objection to either alt2 or alt3. Both are referenced in the Washington Post piece. Thank you for your help! el.ziade (talkallam) 10:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- I like that! SWinxy (talk) 17:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- So, the ALT2 fact - which is the hook I would approve per WP:DYKTRIM - is only in the lead, and does not have an end-of-sentence citation, and I also don't see where the 1988 nominee is mentioned.--Launchballer 09:04, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

- Note: I changed the review status thanks to Bruxton for flagging the issues. John Cummings (talk) 19:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding this nomination. It is a BLP so I am cautious about promoting a hook that seems to imply guilt before conviction. Also the bit in the hook about him being an associate professor... it appears in the lead uncited. In the body it just says "He began teaching at Kyoto's Ritsumeikan" - since it is a hook fact it should be stated in the body directly followed by a citation. The hook is 197 characters so it is 3 under the limit, but also gives too much info. (I also made this reply at DYK). I think we need a new hook that because this is a BLP. Bruxton (talk) 19:16, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- @An anonymous username, not my real name: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 13:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Bruxton:, five years later and Ozaki's whereabouts remain unclear, as well as the issue as to whether or not he was ever formally tried or convicted by any government. This source is rather intriguing and it seems quite plausible that he may have been among the militants sentenced to death (he certainly fits their description, but while the article mentions his name, it does not confirm that he was one of them). Without any formal conviction on record, I'm unsure what the hook would even be about, as he was only notable for his alleged IS membership. Perhaps something like "... that a Bangladeshi and Japanese academic, Mohammad Saifullah Ozaki, was captured in Syria and detained in Iraq?"? This is at least somewhat interesting without making any kind of accusation. Anonymous 01:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that before changing his name to Mohammad Saifullah Ozaki, the then-Ritsumeikan University associate professor Sajit Debnath hid his beard with a surgical mask?--Launchballer 02:55, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

- Hi Bruxton, evrik, An anonymous username, not my real name, Launchballer, Z1720 I honestly don't know what the right thing to do is here, his article is almost entirely about his radicalisation and militancy but the hooks refer to his academic knowledge and wearing a surgical mask. Which seem kind of coincidental to the main content of the article. Is there anywhere we can ask for wider input? John Cummings (talk) 13:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- The deafening silence may mean that not many people care about this nomination. How about this:
- Alt3 ... that Mohammad Saifullah Ozaki was a Japanese academic born to a Hindu family in Bangladesh who became a leader in the Islamic State?

Killing of David Ben Avraham

- The DYK hook uses “despite”, which is a word to watch per MOS:EDITORIAL. Maybe change “despite posing no threat” to “when he posed no threat” or something similar. Wafflefrites (talk) 21:11, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, noted and changed. Makeandtoss (talk) 21:17, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Would it be better to use "when" rather than "while"? According to Wikipedia, "while" is also a word to watch:
- Words to watch: but, despite, however, though, although, furthermore, while ...
- I actually think in this case, the sources support that it was later found there was no evidence that he posed a threat, but if the goal is to make the hook neutral, maybe we should avoid these "words to watch" in the hook. Wafflefrites (talk) 22:04, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, changed to "when". Makeandtoss (talk) 09:27, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that David Ben Avraham was only granted Israeli residency after he was killed by an Israeli reservist soldier? starship.paint (RUN) 10:09, 2 April 2024 (UTC) Source: https://www.timesofisrael.com/disturbing-video-shows-jewish-convert-fatally-shot-by-idf-in-west-bank-posed-no-threat/ Interior Minister Moshe Arbel posthumously approved Israeli residency status for Ben Avraham. “We must learn lessons from this unfortunate incident that took the life of David Ben Avraham and do our best to carry out his last wish to be part of the Israeli people,” the minister said in a statement. “Approving his request does him justice, even if it is too late and under tragic circumstances.”
Oh, and the image above is non-free. It is not CCTV. It is a body cam. starship.paint (RUN) 10:11, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Starship.paint: Thanks for the comment. Being controversial or not is subjective, the original hook is fully sourced to multiple reliable sources, including the Israeli military which certainly does not have a conflict of interest in this case. I stand by the original hook.
- As for the picture, it is certainly not copyrighted per WP: For example, "[i]f a security camera mounted in a lobby, recording 24 hours a day, captured a dramatic event, the video could be uncopyrighted." Also as evidenced by this example: [7]. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Makeandtoss: - that is not
pre-positioned recording devices
, notsecurity camera mounted in a lobby
, notinformation produced by an automated system, such as a CCTV or traffic enforcement camera
. It's either a body camera video or even a handphone video. [8] starship.paint (RUN) 14:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)- @Starship.paint: If it is a body cam then it is a "pre-positioned recording devices" and thus uncopyrighted. It is impossible to hold an M4 in a threatening way while holding a phone in the other hand. It is definitely a body cam video. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:52, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Makeandtoss: - that is not
- Now that I think about it, running the article at all on DYK would probably not be a good idea. ALT0 would raise concerns about NPOV, but even if those were allayed, it might be a bad look to run a hook about a Palestinian being killed by an Israeli on the main page, even if it was factually true. The content of the article itself may also give pause, especially now when the Gaza conflict is dominating headlines. This might be a case where, even if the article would technically be eligible, it may not be a good fit for DYK given the circumstances. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:49, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for expressing your opinion. But again why would there be problems of NPOV when Israel itself has admitted to this POV? If there is no opposing POV, then there is no NPOV issue. The article is well-written and is eligible for DYK. Why do you think it is a "bad look" to run a hook about a Palestinian being killed by an Israeli on the main page, when a DYK about a Ukrainian being killed by a Russian was posted at the height of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in April 2022?: "... that Ukrainian actress Oksana Shvets, who was killed in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, starred in the 2013 joint Ukrainian–Russian television family saga House with Lilies alongside Russian actors?" Makeandtoss (talk) 13:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Had I known about that hook I would have opposed it as well. But for what it's worth, the Israel-Palestine conflict is a much more heated, longer lasting conflict. A hook that basically says "Israel did something bad to a Palestinian" being put on the main page would be a very very bad look for DYK, especially with the ongoing conflict. At the very least it might result in complaints either at WT:DYK or at WP:ERRORS, and at worst it could lead to criticism of the project as a whole. There are some topics that, usually for reasons beyond the control of Wikipedia or editors, are probably not a good fit for DYK and this is probably one of them. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

- This article reminds me of Murder of George Floyd and that article was featured in Wikipedia’s In the news. Most of the sources that reported on this are actually Jewish sources. I added a detail that he was shot in the lower body (which was reverted). There are some details missing from this English Wiki article. The Hebrew Wikipedia article actually has more details. According to the Hebrew article, he was shot in the lower body, and afterward a tourniquet was applied and they called an ambulance.Wafflefrites (talk) 13:43, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. @ Narutolovehinata5 This is a perennial topic which I always respond to with the same comment which is we follow policy. We follow Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines and we follow WP:NPOV and WP:Verifiability. As with the rest of wikipedia, DYK is WP:NOTCENSORED. We feature controversial topics like this all the time on the main page in Wikipedia:In the news. Likewise, we have run hooks on even more controversial topics than this one in the past at DYK. Controversy is not a valid reason to reject a hook as long as the article is neutrally written and cited to reliable RS.4meter4 (talk) 06:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- The assertion regarding a strict following of WP:NOTCENSORED is incorrect, Content that will appear on the main page is often 'censored' in that it undergoes additional considerations to those that would apply to article space, including WP:ITN. CMD (talk) 06:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I would say that we curate not censor the main page. We curate the main page because there is a limited amount of content that can be featured at any one time. And while we may avoid inflammatory language purposefully at DYK and ITN as part of that curation, I personally have never seen a successful case of outright censorship being enacted against a given topic. Typically we work to find a way to feature eligible articles with sensitive content by modifying the language of how we present those topics on the main page. That said, there may be cases of censorship in the past that I personally am not aware of. If they have happened, they shouldn't have as a matter of policy.4meter4 (talk) 21:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Marco Pierre White Jr was rejected, although looking at it now it's hard to argue that as being particularly main page worthy. (I could very much do with you if I ever decide to GA it and try it on again here.)--Launchballer 21:18, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer, I don't think that's a good example of censorship. In the case of Marco Pierre White Jr I think there is a strong argument to be made based on WP:BLP policy that the hook was not appropriate for the main page. BLP policy is a whole other ball of wax.4meter4 (talk) 21:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Two examples of nominations that were failed at least partly due to the topic itself rather than just the hook(s) are Template:Did you know nominations/Watermelon song and Template:Did you know nominations/Tawhai Hill, Kānuka Hills, Pūkio Stream. I think there have been others as well including at least one Israel-Palestine hook, though I can't remember if the latter was rejected due to the subject itself or if it was due to its neutrality tag.

@Starship.paint: @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for expressing your concerns and asking for a different hook/angle. As a middle ground perhaps I think we can agree on ALT2: "that Palestinian convert to Judaism David Ben Avraham (pictured) was only granted Israeli residency after he was killed by an Israeli reservist?" Makeandtoss (talk) 13:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I would be strongly opposed to any hook that even touches the "Palestinian getting killed by an Israeli" angle, and I suspect that any attempts to push such an angle would at the latest result in being yanked from a prep/queue, or a trip to either WT:DYK or WP:ERRORS. For the record, had the incident been about an Israeli being killed by a Palestinian I would have said the same thing. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:21, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Again, WP should not display double standards; if it is okay to feature a hook saying a Ukrainian was killed by Russia, then it should be perfectly fine for a hook to say a Palestinian has been killed by Israel. This pro-western bias is not appropriate and goes against Wikipedia's policies. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:24, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- It can also be a case of correcting a mistake. In my opinion, that Ukrainian hook should not have run in the first place, at least not with that hook.
- I also have to note that it's not unheard of for IP-related articles nominated for DYK to be rejected entirely. See Template:Did you know nominations/Calls for the destruction of Israel, which was rejected based on the presence of a neutrality tag, although the subject matter probably didn't help. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see a problem with running a hook on calls for Israel's destruction if the article was normally written without any neutrality tags, heck I would have even reviewed and approved it myself. Why would I let my personal opinions or preferences obstruct Wikipedia processes? It's not a mistake to report on facts; how people feel/interpret/respond to these facts is up to them. I think this is really self-evident that that the Ukraine hook was not a mistake, and neither will this be. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Again, WP should not display double standards; if it is okay to feature a hook saying a Ukrainian was killed by Russia, then it should be perfectly fine for a hook to say a Palestinian has been killed by Israel. This pro-western bias is not appropriate and goes against Wikipedia's policies. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:24, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe we can try to rewrite the hook to help with the DYK nomination? Some articles say “mistakenly killed”:
https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-792999 https://www.jns.org/palestinian-convert-to-judaism-mistakenly-killed-by-idf-in-judea/ https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/03/21/palestinian-who-converted-to-judaism-mistakenly-killed-by-idf/ Wafflefrites (talk) 15:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Both mistakenly or deliberately is POV and not appropriate as a hook. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment How about a hook that de-emphasizes the broader conflict and avoids Palestine V.S. Israel language:
Alt2 ... that after his death David Ben Avraham was granted Israeli residency as a form of justice by Israeli Minister of Interior Moshe Arbel?
This avoids saying how he died, who was responsible for killing him, whether it was a murder or accident, etc. Given his Hebrew sounding name, it's also not clear he's a Palestinian in the hook. It also leaves the reader wondering how Israeli residency could be considered a form of justice (which is a direct quote from Arbel). All of this to say, it's accurate, neutral, and non-inflammatory. It shouldn't raise anyone's hackles and is still interesting.4meter4 (talk) 16:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- The article is about his killing, its circumstances and the context; it’s not a biography; so no, de-emphasizing the killing into some heroic recognition by the state that had killed him is quite honestly extremely inappropriate.Makeandtoss (talk) 19:30, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ok. Since you aren't willing to tone things down Makeandtoss, it's not happening. DYK is not a summary of an article, and this hook statement is true. It's clear you have an editorial WP:POVPUSH and DYK isn't going to be your WP:SOAPBOX as a matter of principal. You can either accept a non-inflammatory hook to drive traffic and readers to the article you have written or not be featured at DYK Rejecting per Per rule C11 of the suplementary guideline, as the nominator is not willing to craft a hook that isn't sensational and insists on emphasizing violence and Palestinian/Israeli animus. 4meter4 (talk) 19:33, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Update After discussions on the WP DYK talk page, there seems to be more support for ALT3: "...that David Ben Avraham was posthumously granted an Israeli residency after having been killed?", which comes as a compromise solution between opposing views. Also, 4meter4 has expressed his openness for a new reviewer taking over the process. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Narutolovehinata5: can you explain under which policy you're saying "I would be strongly opposed to any hook that even touches the "Palestinian getting killed by an Israeli" angle". I can understand being opposed to something on grounds of it being not verified, or it violating NPOV. But we don't simply WP:CENSOR certain viewpoints (when presented in a verifiable and neutral way). VR (Please ping on reply) 11:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- There have been concerns in the past about topics that are pushing a particular point of view, or giving that impression, getting backlash. I remember of cases in the past where an article was nominated for DYK but was not allowed to run due to it being seen in bad taste. This happened not too long ago with Russia, which was nominated for DYK. It was ultimately not approved due to having a pending GAR, which ultimately failed anyway and it remained a GA, but even before then there was opposition running Russia on the main page at all due to the war. Having said that, while I am still uncomfortable with the article running, I appear to be in the minority here and will ultimately follow whatever consensus is reached. Having said that, if this is to run and isn't brought to WT:DYK or ERRORS beforehand, I would oppose any suggestion other than ALT3.

Crossed off the other alts above for clarity, and restating ALT3 here:: "...that David Ben Avraham was posthumously granted an Israeli residency after having been killed?" CMD (talk) 01:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- NPOV says "representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." I have not seen a single news article on this event that doesn't start off by mentioning that Ben Avraham was killed by an IDF soldier. Without that context, the hook doesn't even make sense; is Israel's new immigration policy handing out permanent residencies to random victims of homicide? None of the opposition to these hooks seems to be based on policy, but a desire from the regular editors here to just avoid anything they see as controversial. WT:DYK and ERRORS in relation to any vaguely political topic devolves to the same 10 editors arguing about the same thing until the hook eventually never runs because it's "controversial".

- It mentions the facts that make the story notable in the first place and is similar to ALT1 and ALT2, but with less editorializing. I would be fine with promoting it if the others are okay with the hook. AryKun (talk) 12:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

- Not sure how much water that argument holds, if Wikipedia is the most interesting to a broad audience then that's what we should run with. A transport planner is always going to plan transport - what else does he do. I suggest either ALT1: ... that Axel Downard-Wilke (pictured) designed a system to help cyclists negotiate Christchurch intersections? or ALT2: ... that in 2020, the New Zealand transport planner Axel Downard-Wilke (pictured) led a campaign to have macrons used in Māori place names in Wikipedia articles?.--Launchballer 08:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- I have also considered a hook about the campaign for using macrons in the Māori place names in Wikipedia, but will leave DYK administrators to resolve whether or not it is appropriate to have a hook about the contribution that the subject has made to Wikipedia. In the meantime, I am exploring alternative hooks, and have just made a relatively small addition to the article that may facilitate a further alternative: ALT3 ...that in 2003 Axel Downard-Wilke (pictured) created a training course about Planning and Design for Cycling that has been regularly delivered for more than 20 years._Marshelec (talk) 08:22, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- I do think that if we're not going with ALT0, then the other image should be used instead.--Launchballer 08:24, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- In my view, ALT2 might be more acceptable than the original hook because the original hook directly talked about his Wikipedia career while ALT2 is about Wikipedia but not directly about his editing. Having said that, given possible navel concerns, I will leave it to consensus whether or not to use it, but given one source used is a secondary source (NZ Herald), the sourcing itself shouldn't be an issue.

- All the generic DYK requirements are previously reviewed. Re ALT hooks1-3, none has any corresponding sources listed here. Although they are sourced in the article. ALT 1 reads a tad bit dull IMO. "Designed a system"-feels a bit vague here, especially without any interlinking that could give an idea what sort of "system" it was. Moving to ALT2, it reads interestingly well. It's nicely sourced in the article. And overall a fine blurb. Although, based on the contextual relation, it could be argued that it's redundant to make this hook lengthy with "the New Zealand transport planner" at the beginning. Moving to ALT 3, seems like a better version of ALT1, of course differing in details. However, the source used for winning the award for creation of the training course is fine. I was able to access it via library and it checks out. But the latter source, which deals with the course being regularly delivered for more than 20 years, feels a bit unconventional. The website is ViaStrada, and it's a team/consulting firm. The byline reads "Submitted by." I'm not sure if this firm's blog/website content can be considered fully reliable or independent. We'd need a clearer and better source for that, IMO. I'd not have much issue approving ALT 2 (with a potential trim as pointed above, and also wikilinking to Macron (diacritic), but I'm seeking for second opinions as this is my first DYK review.

- Hi evrik thank you for looking at the article, I realise it is an emotive subject. I believe the intro to be a fair summary of the events and have used the same descriptors for the events as the sources, especially the academic study to try to make the article as accurate as possible. However there are limited sources available given the blockade and ban on journalists entering. I can't find any sources which despute that the destruction has happened or who destroyed the farms and trees. There are some more sources to go through but they mainly focus on the health impacts of the destruction. I've included the only quote I can find from the Israeli government in the body of the article. Can you tell me which words/phrases specifically you think are not balanced and how you would go about changing it? John Cummings (talk) 21:52, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

- I edited two items in the article. It looks like the suggestions made here have been implemented and the article is as neutral as it can be. The article has the correct inline citations and it is both long enough and new enough to qualify for dyk. The hook is confirmed, in the article, and interesting. I prefer ALT0 as it introduces the word ecocide which is the subject of the article. The nominator has done a qpq. Regarding the stability of the article - it appears mostly -stable, just the nominator and myself have edited it today. Earwig has been down for me today so I have spot checked sources and did not find evidence of plagiarism. Bruxton (talk) 01:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Bruxton honestly I really dislike this solution, all the sources are very clear on the source of the vast vast majority of the destruction which is Israeli forces using bulldozers and bombs. It currently reads as passive voice with no information on who is doing the destruction. I understand the number of bombs has been taken issue with, my strong preference is:

- Keep in mind that WP:DYKHOOK says
The hook should include a definite fact that is unlikely to change
. Hooks that talk about a specific number of trees destroyed in an ongoing conflict can't possibly meet that requirement. RoySmith (talk) 12:44, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi RoySmith thanks for explaining this, the fact Israeli forces destroyed them and that they have been accused of ecocide I think both meet that requirement. 13:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi Chipmunkdavis, to take each part of the sentence and quote from the source in "s:
- that Israel's : " Israel’s onslaught on Gaza’s ecosystems has made the area unlivable" and "satellite data that Israeli military activity had destroyed more than 65 sq km, or 38% of that land"
- systematic : "Samaneh Moafi, FA’s assistant director of research, describes the destruction as systematic." and "The effects of this systematic agricultural destruction"
- destruction of 38–48% of trees and farmland in Gaza : " shows the destruction of about 38-48% of tree cover and farmland"
- using bulldozers and bombs : "farmland destroyed by bombs and bulldozers"
- has been described as an ecocide? : "led to calls for it to be regarded as “ecocide” and investigated as a possible war crime"
One related question, is it possible to use a second link in the hook to further provide sources? I feel like this is is sufficient but others also state facts to back up the statement as well.
John Cummings (talk) 13:46, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Individual points may all be sourced, but they should not be synthed together to say something else. CMD (talk) 13:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Chipmunkdavis thanks, can I check that you agree that all the invidvidual facts are supported by the source now? Could you describe what you think is synthesised? And what is "something else"? I feel like this sentence is an accurate summary of the facts. Thanks again, John Cummings (talk) 14:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- I have put details in the discussion at WT:DYK which I would ask you to refer to, but in general if your hook is trying to connect five different points it is unlikely to be accurate. Another example, not covered by WT:DYK, is you are claiming all 38-48% (not a small range) of the destruction is due to systematic bulldozing and bombing, while in actuality that is the total destruction caused by all actors and actions in the war.

- Hi Chipmunkdavis thanks for your reply, its got a bit difficult to keep track of everything when its spread across two pages. Can you say which part you think is unaccurate taking these 5 facts from the source? I know that there is some wood taken for firewood, however this and the other sources are clear, the vast vast majority of the trees have been destroyed by Israeli military "satellite data that Israeli military activity had destroyed more than 65 sq km, or 38% of that land". Would you be happy if the phrase was changed to 'more than 38% of trees and farmland' rather than '38% - 48%'? This would make it a direct quote from the source. My understanding of the % range in the information is simply that no one is allowed to enter Gaza to measure the destruction so the researchers made their study through remote sensing and that the amount of trees used for firewood is negligable and includes trees already felled by Israeli military. John Cummings (talk) 14:44, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- The synthing together of the five facts is the issue, not the individual facts. I suggest picking one in particular, and making a hook about that (although not the bombs and bulldozers one, that's mostly a dramatic turn of phrase, especially as we know they also used tanks). Looking at the article, 38% and 48% are actually separate points, 38% is from a study of farmland, 48% is specifically tree cover, two distinct albeit overlapping measurements.

Green in "Duff Green, Militant Journalist of the Old School," Duff Green "denied that he was armed or that he gouged Sparhawk's eyes," and it doesn't help that it was Sparhawk who made the original charge.

I'm not sure ALT1 works however as the source only says that it is Arnold's only monument on American soil whereas the hook seems to apply to all American traitors. I also thought of another potential hook that might be decent: ... that a boot is the only monument in the United States to traitor Benedict Arnold because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"?

New enough (5x expansion), long enough, well-written. Image is appropriately licensed as far as I can determine. QPQ is done. The hook is interesting and supported by an inline citation but not supported in its current format by what is written in the article. The article is a bit ambiguous on this point. On the one hand it asserts that "[...] it also simulated an amphibious landing in Poland, as well as - and most controversially - a nuclear attack against Poland (hitting Warsaw)." In my reading, this is a claim that the exercise did in fact contain such a simulation. Later, however, it is stated that "Other sources noted that the exercise involved nuclear-capable ballistic missiles (Iskander), but not necessarily a simulation of a nuclear attack on another country." I think this could be easily solved by re-phrasing the first sentence, but it should be resolved before I give the green light. Otherwise all criteria are fulfilled. Yakikaki (talk) 19:34, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Yakikaki: Can I trouble you to suggest an alt hook with a revised wording that I can then review and adopt? I am not sure what exact minor wording change you suggest, but I am pretty sure I'd be fine with it and I'd propose it myself if I wasn't too tired to figure it out myself now. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Alt 1a ... that Russian and Belarussian Zapad 2009 military exercise about repelling a NATO attack might have included simulated nuclear strikes on another country?
- @Piotrus and Yakikaki: thoughts? --evrik (talk) 17:08, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- There's nothing wrong with the original hook, and Alt 1a doesn't solve the problem. The issue, which I think is very easily fixed, is that the article isn't clear on the point whether it might have included a simulated nuclear strikes on another country, or whether it in fact did. That needs to be clarified. I can then greenlight it. Yakikaki (talk) 18:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yakikaki, The article cites the sources; some of which say this happened and some which are more cautious. Not sure how to word it better than what we already have, both in the hook and in the article. If you think you have a better wording, be bold. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
I fixed it for you. You'll need another reviewer to do the review again, though. Yakikaki (talk) 14:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Article is new and long enough. Sourcing looks good though Earwig found a handful of word-for-word similarities with "theage.com.au" source. A minor issue with each of the proposed hooks: ALT0 says that Williams was Victoria's most high-profile prisoner - the body of the article supports that but the sources seem to claim he was just a high-profile prisoner. ALT1 says they threw feces at a member of the jury but the article and sources only say "excrement". Both hooks are interesting however. QPQ is not required so just need hooks fixed and that should be all. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- @PCN02WPS: Thank you for taking the time to review! I have reworded the article in most cases where Earwig's Copyvio Detector identified an issue but I think a lot of it falls under WP:LIMITED, or are quotes. Let me know if this needs to be addressed further. In paragraph 249 of that source, it mentions Williams as the "highest profile prisoner in Victoria". I have changed the wording of ALT1 from 'feces' to 'excrement' — GMH Melbourne (talk) 03:12, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Overall: A newly promoted GA which received an appropriate review during the GAN. Overall, everything looks good for ALT0, which I think is definitely the strongest option. I'd make a few tweaks to the wording, though, to make it more concise, define "pie" (since it's not that common as a verb), and remove the identity of the thrower (which doesn't add much as not too many readers will know who he is). That leaves us with ALT0a: ...that an environmentalist threw a pie in the face of the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist?

- My first thought reading the hook was "my sphincter, the games were released in 1996!". The hook should make it clear that the games were in fact released then - simply adding "the 1996 games" will take the hook above WP:DYK200, so something else will have to give.--Launchballer 07:15, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think the mention of the year of release is so important that it needs to be added, the hook is centered on the kimono and I'm already specifying that it's the game's 25th anniversary. The hook is long enough as it is. - OtharLuin (talk) 07:24, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, which means as written the hook implies they were released in 1997! That said, I am a huge Pokémaniac (even to the point I spent much of the pandemic writing Pokémon-themed fanfiction, which at some point I should rewrite from scratch) and perhaps I'm being too overprotective. An actual reviewer can adjudicate on this.--Launchballer 07:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

- Was this a limited-time promotion or now ongoing/continual? "Since the January 2022 sumo tournament, gyoji can be seen" makes it sound like the latter, while the sources give the impression that they were only talking about the one tournament. If it was just for a limited time then we should rephrase and use past tense. Adumbrativus (talk) 19:26, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

- Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:19, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

I had thought 2006 from Nola.com: "At LCC International, Hollowell oversaw the program in its first two years of existence, starting in 2007, where he led the team to playoff appearances in both seasons. Before joining LCC, in his only season with the Manama Sports Club, he led his squad to an appearance in the Championship series despite losing their best player." I though "before joining LCC [in 2007]" kind of implied that Manama was the year before, but I guess that's not necessarily the case – I think changing it to 2007 with the asiabasket source would work.

- @BeanieFan11: My guess is that he was coach for the 2006–07 season, but there's no source that says it directly. I'd add the asiabasket source and just mention the one year we do know, 2007; the hook works either way.

- New enough, long enough, and properly sourced. No QPQ needed. Earwig found no problematic copied wording. Good-enough hook, but one must synthesize a couple pieces of information in the article to obtain it: the "largest township" part is at the end of the town section, dated to the early 19th century, while the "deserted" part is at the end of the "clearance" section. In fact both facts are adjacent in the "Maverick Guide to Scotland" source, with much tighter dating (largest in 1815; cleared between 1814 and 1818) and to avoid problems with WP:SYN the article would benefit from making them adjacent somewhere within it, footnoted to that source. Also, "deserted" is maybe a euphemism for what happened. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks David. What if the sentence in the Town section said "Before the clearance, it was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver"? That would would be consistent with the Maverick Guide guide source and not change up the current before-during-after structure. I could also change the sentence in the Clearance section to say "completely deserted by 1818" to avoid any ambiguity.
- I think "deserted" is, from a NPOV, the end result of what happened, it describes what's left. You could say "forcibly depopulated" or something but I think "deserted" is clear enough and used in the sources. -- D'n'B-t -- 18:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- To me, "deserted" is an accurate and neutral description of the state of the place now, but not of the process by which it reached that state. How about

What a Devastating Turn of Events
... that upon traveling to Los Angeles to work on What a Devastating Turn of Events, Rachel Chinouriri decided to avoid multiple plane trips due to her fear of flying?
- Source: From NME: "But it was a later trip to LA in early 2023 where Chinouriri’s anxieties began to amplify. Emerging musicians often take trips to LA for writing sessions; some fly out four or so times a year, but visit for no more than a fortnight. Chinouriri, who has a fear of flying, elected to stay for five."
ALT1: ... that with her debut album What a Devastating Turn of Events, Rachel Chinouriri aimed to tackle the underrepresentation of Black female artists in the indie scene?Source: From NME: "Chinouriri wants to recreate the visual and sonic aesthetics of that era on her debut. The noughties represents a period of her life where she was eagerly learning about British pop culture icons such as Alexa Chung, Oasis, The Libertines. Taking inspiration from this era is Chinouriri’s way to reclaim her position in British society and the indie scene, where Black womanhood is routinely ignored and misrepresented."- ALT2: ... that Rachel Chinouriri decided to include the English flag on the cover art of What a Devastating Turn of Events in order to celebrate her Black British identity? Source: From The Guardian: "Chinouriri, however, decided to use the St George’s Cross as an act of reclamation. 'For Black people and POC, that flag’s not something people are proud of,' she says, adding that some people around her discouraged her from using it on her album cover. But on her single 'The Hills', Chinouriri sings about rediscovering her British identity after feeling lonely during a period spent in Los Angeles. 'No matter the trauma I’ve had from being raised in the UK, being Black British and being the only Black person in my neighbourhood, it’s made me the person who I am,' she says. 'There is a culture within being Black British that is distinct and strong, and harbours creativity.' Using the flag is 'a celebration – taking back this thing and saying: you can’t get rid of me'."

I must address that I've "recycled" my QPQ submission from a previous entry of mine that was rejected (due to my big mistake): is that still OK?

Overall: I prefer ALT1 to ALT. The hook length is acceptable for both. ALT has a couple of issues: the title of the article does not appear, but more importantly, the idea of the office's powers is not clearly conveyed: it currently says "for over 200 years until 1968 with the power to prevent ANY new play from being performed". However, those powers were somewhat restricted after 1843, so to say ANY new play could be restricted after 1843 is perhaps misleading. This hook could be rephrased slightly, but at this point, for both reasons, I recommend ALT1 instead. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 23:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Voorts and TSventon: I cannot confirm in any sources that this was the first known skeleton. Maybe first "complete" can be investigated if sources support? I do see a source for "Peale eventually founded the first natural history museum in the United States". But I do not know about the reliability of the source (czasopisma) - that can be investigated for a hook idea, or you can introduce a different hook. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
@Voorts and Bruxton: I was trying to put the hook in my own words and overdid the paraphrasing. When Semonin says the skeleton was complete I think he meant almost complete so I have reworded the article and the hook. Peale's museum as "the first natural history museum in the United States" is arguable, but would need more work. This argued it was not.

- The hook is explicit but unreferenced in the lead, I could add a reference to the Smithsonian article there if that made things clearer. In the body one of the sentences was not immediately followed by a reference, so I fixed that.
- By the way, on the first museum, I have seen things like the first successful public museum of natural history, but that would need to be discussed in the article and is not particularly hooky. TSventon (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Overall: Thanks for creating this. I've read some interesting first person accounts that mention the women Russian exiles. Please tag me once the missing citation is added. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:33, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Mary Mark Ockerbloom: I'm confused as to why this claim needs a citation? She collaborated on Lavrov's Vpered, was involved in a Narodnik organisation, was tried in two mass trials of Narodnik revolutionaries and actively organised with other Narodniks for decades. Is it not exceedingly obvious that this was the movement she was involved in? --Grnrchst (talk) 08:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Grnrchst: Yes, but all of that relies on the reader having knowledge of what that movement was and who it involved. For a Wikipedia reader who follows the hook to a topic that they aren't knowledgeable about, none of that is obvious. So I would suggest adding a sentence or phrase later in the body that in which you explicitly use the term Narodnik, with a citation to something that clarifies or at least uses that term.

- As a lifelong Lions fan due to watching Barry play in my formative years, I'm happy to review this. The article is new enough, long enough, and well sourced. Tone is neutral, Earwig is clean, and a spot check showed no issues. QPQ not needed. The hook is interesting and well-sourced, but unless I'm missing it, it doesn't appear in the actual article. The prose mentions he shares the team record for selections, and an image caption mentions he was chosen every season he played, but there's nothing about being the first NFL player to play at least ten seasons and be selected each year. @Hey man im josh: if you'll just include the fact in the article's prose and cite the SI article this should be good to go.

Overall: Not ready yet, nominator needs a QPQ. Also, how is the Aquinian reliable? 🌙Eclipse (talk) (contribs) 22:52, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- The Aquinian is the St. Thomas University (STU)'s student newspaper. Per WP:RSSM as well as general consensus through discussions cited by WP:RSSM, using student media sparingly is generally fine; sometimes it is the only option for certain details/facts, such as in this instance for a general assumption of the subject's age, his connection to the University, and a small detail in the creation process of his book.
- I apologize if you find that The Aquinian seems disputed, but because WP:N and WP:GNG has already been established it should be alright using student media for small bits of the article, as this is an instance where better sources couldn't be found. (this only applies to articles whose subject is connected to the University of said student press, of course, in which this case Poitras is). If it helps, STU has a more "official" magazine where Poitras has a small mention here as a journalism professor, and is mentioned here in a third-party provincial newspaper interview with a STU journalism student.
- I hope this addresses any concerns! QPQ will be finished soon. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 23:54, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

- Approved: A very nice article, expanded within the window. Both hooks are good and check out. QPQ not required. I like ALT1 better: would suggest amending ALT0 to something like "the manuscript ready for the printer to collect..." in both hook and article, as the "at Newman's door" is a little confusing and not really idiomatic for someone coming to visit him - you could even cut it in the hook, as the interesting thing is the 22-hour day, not where he handed the manuscript over. Would also suggest reworking, in the article,
Newman had been accused of secretly working to convert people to Catholicism while outwardly professing to be Anglican, and this belief persisted even after his conversion to Catholicism in 1845
, as he would hardly be accused of outwardly professing Anglicanism after he had publicly converted to Catholicism. Still, none of these points should be an obstacle at this stage. Good work. UndercoverClassicist T·C 05:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- @UndercoverClassicist: Thank you for your review and the kind words, and sorry for disappearing for a couple of days! Those two sentences that you pointed out were definitely the ones I had the most difficulty phrasing (my original draft of that second sentence you mentioned implied that he was still Anglican when he wrote the Apologia!). I've rephrased the sentences in the article, hopefully for the better. As for the hooks, I have no preference, so if you prefer alt1, I'm fine just going with that rather than trying to improve alt0. (Also, looking at the source again, it's not clear if it should be "manuscript" or "proof" - I just had "pamphlet" in the article. Probably better just to avoid that altogether in the hook.)

- Actually, it's both things. He didn't think alien life exists, and didn't want (because of his own biases) for it to exist. Yes, perhaps that is faulty logic, but we're talking about ancient Greece. Logic itself was still a recent concept, and some things we know take for granted in discussions (such as a basic scientific method when talking about scientific stuff, or that fallacies make a bad argument) were either new concepts or not created yet. The article makes this clear enough: the way in which the Greeks discussed their ideas, their biases, the slow development of the scientific method, etc. Cambalachero (talk) 17:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Laura Veale
- ... that Laura Veale was the first Yorkshire-born woman to be qualified as a doctor?
- Source: Several, including: Harrogate Advertiser: "Hampsthwaite commemorates North Yorkshire’s first female doctor Laura Sobey Veale". Note: This fact has had to be carefully interpreted. It was initially expressed as "the first Yorkshire woman to become a doctor" on the brown plaque, pictured in the article and written by the eminent Harrogate historian Malcolm Neesam. He meant "Yorkshire-born". However it has since been interpreted to mean that she was the first female doctor to practise in Yorkshire, which would be incorrect. Edith Pechey was the first qualified woman doctor to practise in Yorkshire, but she was born in Essex, so to local understanding she was definitely not a "Yorkshire woman" (they are very parochially-minded here). Veale was born in Yorkshire.

- The article was moved to mainspace yesterday, so is new enough. It is far more than long enough and properly uses in-line citations (perhaps even more so than necessary for some sentences). The copyvio detector doesn't find anything other than names of things and quotes that are properly used in the article. The hook is short enough, interesting, and is cited inline. The QPQ has been done and there's no image to review. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 20:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review, Silver seren Re the "even more so than necessary", you'll find that some experienced editors are doing that for a good reason. For example, if you have a "first" in the article, that is going to be automatically questioned and double-checked, and rightly so. Therefore, it is worth finding as many different, independent sources as possible for that "first" and including them all in the article. There is also the fact that some sources may be accessible to some readers (e.g. readers with a subscription, readers in the UK, etc.) and some source may not be accessible to all (e.g. readers outside the UK or without subscription), so it's worth giving them a few alternative sources. A third reason is that various sources give different aspects to the same fact, and some sources also include extra facts which the editor chooses not to include in the article, but which are extremely interesting. In the cast of historical articles, contemporary sources may give the historical standpoint on the matter. Extra sources containing additional facts may also allow other editors to expand the article. Nothing is wasted in this particular article, and there is a reason for everything.

- Looks to be easily verifiable, but "relatively complete" should be mentioned somewhere in the wiki article.

(As a footnote, Wizardry VI debuted in the west in 1990 but the Japanese release came out in 1995, if there is pre-existing MOS guidelines that state that it should be 1990 instead then I would advise it to be edited but the 1995 release is what Kui is referring to as her inspiration)

Anyway, there's just one issue that I have – there's a Distractify source used in the article, which is considered unreliable; I feel like there could be a more reliable source out there that verifies the fact that he "repeatedly tells his partner that he is willing to marry if she signs a prenuptial agreement, to keep his assets if they separate".

Very interesting hook! I took a look at the source and I noticed that it had mentioned "Moriori, Maori, or Pakeha" (meaning the missionaries failed to convert Indigenous or European New Zealanders) and I'm wondering if this, or the fact that this took place in New Zealand, would be worth mentioning in the hook as well.

Overall: Earwigs show 53.4% possible, but it's a case of false positive as the matched texts are part of a quoted paragraph, so we're good. And it's a bad source to be added here in this nom (paid, and also doesn't fully align with the hook as is, as pointed above by another user). However, sources used in the article are better, while another one doesn't explicitly mention the hook, but 2 does. Another point to be noted here is the number of lines of the code. It varies by publication. Although from the picture provided, yes there are 17 total markdowns, but some of them are empty, so it comes down to 11 "actual" lines. But some sources I checked, even outside this article, do not mention the specific number of lines, and the ones that do, 2 of which are also sourced in the article, have different numbers (17). Also, the article had some copy editing issues, which I've fixed. By the way, you may consider improving the sourcing style on this one (as it's also a GA nominee). Such as interlinking the publications, or consider introducing journal or book citations as well. But for my money, DYK seems good to go, however, the current blurb needs to be modified to something like ALT0a ... that in 2016, the removal of a few lines of code briefly "broke the Internet"? X (talk) 04:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Xoak Thank you for the review! This is my first ever submission to DYK so I appreciate the thorough comments. I will go ahead and edit the blurb as suggested. Best, ~Liancetalk 16:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Liance:, That's great! By the way a few friendly notes for future noms, when an ALT blurb is proposed, you can simply just reply with your support for that blurb or oppose or express your opinion on it. No need to alter your ALT0 (which is the original hook), and notice how I added "a" beside ALT0, since it's pretty much the same fact with minor tweaks. But if the fact differs totally, then it'd be listed as ALT1, ALT2 and so forth. And if you remove anything from the original hook after the review is done, you should mention it for historical/future references (i.e., the removal of the image). Anyway, thank you for your creation and inviting you to contribute to more DYKs. Regards.
- Approving the modified original hook.

[I think it was a turning point where I can finally say that "I became a stuntman". In fact, you need recommendations from three action directors (to debut as a stuntman), but I was able to get in through a backdoor entrance thanks to the recommendation of action choreographer Stephen Tung. It was like a backdoor admission. / The latest installment of the Rurouni Kenshin film series, titled Rurouni Kenshin: The Final, in which he (Tanigaki) served as an action director, will be released nationwide in Japan on 23 April. Besides, Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning will have its nationwide release on 4 June. Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, another film he (Tanigaki) worked on, is scheduled for a release in the United States on 22 October 2021.]

- What a great little article! Never heard of this before and I think most readers will find it intriguing. DYK Check shows 2300 chars of body, but that's not accounting for the names so I'm going to give it a definite bye. New enough, well cited, GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
