Instructions for nominators[edit]

Create a subpage for your new DYK suggestion and then list the page below under the date the article was created or the expansion began (not the date you submit it here), with the newest dates at the bottom. Any registered user may nominate a DYK suggestion (if you are not a registered user, please leave a message at the bottom of the DYK project talk page with the details of the article you would like to nominate and the hook you would like to propose); self-nominations are permitted and encouraged. Thanks for participating and please remember to check back for comments on your nomination (consider watchlisting your nomination page).

If this is your first nomination, please read the DYK rules before continuing:
Official DYK criteria: DYK rules and supplementary guidelines
Unofficial guide: Learning DYK

To nominate an article[edit]

Read these instructions completely before proceeding.

For simplified instructions, see User:Rjanag/Quick DYK 2.

I.
Create the nomination subpage.

Enter the article title in the box below and click the button. (To nominate multiple articles together, enter any or all of the article titles.) You will then be taken to a preloaded nomination page.
II.
Write the nomination.

On the nomination page, fill in the relevant information. See Template:NewDYKnomination and {{NewDYKnomination/guide}} for further information.

  • Not every line of the template needs to be filled in. For instance, if you are not nominating an image to appear with your hook, there is no need to fill in the image-related lines.
  • Add an edit summary e.g. "Nominating YOUR ARTICLE TITLE for DYK" and click Save page.
  • Make sure the nomination page is on your watchlist, so you can follow the review discussion.
III.
Post at Template talk:Did you know.

In the current nominations section find the subsection for the date on which the article was created or on which expansion began, not the date on which you make the nomination.

  • At the top of that subsection (before other nominations already there, but below the section head and hidden comment) add {{Did you know nominations/YOUR ARTICLE TITLE}}.
  • Add an edit summary e.g. "Nominating YOUR ARTICLE TITLE for DYK" and click Save page.
  • Consider adding {{Did you know nominations/YOUR ARTICLE TITLE}} to the article's talk page (without a section heading—​​the template adds a section heading automatically).

How to review a nomination[edit]

Main page: Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide

Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets all the DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article to which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the supplementary guidelines and the WP:Did you know/Reviewing guide.

To post a comment or review on a DYK nomination, follow the steps outlined below:

  • Look through this page, Template talk:Did you know, to find a nomination you would like to comment on.
  • Click the "Review or comment" link at the top of the nomination. You will be taken to the nomination subpage.
  • The top of the page includes a list of the DYK criteria. Check the article to ensure it meets all the relevant criteria.
  • To indicate the result of the review (i.e., whether the nomination passes, fails, or needs some minor changes), leave a signed comment on the page. Please begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed; your comment should look something like the following:

    Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.

    If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a line :* <!-- REPLACE THIS LINE TO WRITE FIRST COMMENT, KEEPING :* --> showing you where you should put the comment.
  • Save the page.

If there is any problem or concern about a nomination, please consider notifying the nominator by placing {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page.

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 an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first (so that those hooks don't grow stale), it may take several weeks until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see instructions above).

Where is my hook?[edit]

If you can't find the hook you submitted to this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is in the queue for display on the main page. You can check whether your hook has been moved to the queue by reviewing the queue listings.

If your hook is not in the queue or already on the main page, it has probably been deleted. Deletion occurs if the hook is more than about eight days old and has unresolved issues for which any discussion has gone stale. If you think your hook has been unfairly deleted, you can query its deletion on the discussion page, but as a general rule deleted hooks will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

Search archived DYK nomination discussions[edit]


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 to Prep 3", preview, and save

How to remove a rejected hook[edit]

  • Open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to remove. (It's best to wait several days after a reviewer has rejected the hook, just in case someone contests or the article undergoes a large change.)
  • In the window where the DYK nomination subpage is open, replace the line {{DYKsubpage with {{subst:DYKsubpage, and replace |passed= with |passed=no. Then save the page. This has the effect of wrapping up the discussion on the DYK nomination subpage in a blue archive box and stating that the nomination was unsuccessful, as well as adding the nomination to a category for archival purposes.

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 is usually 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.
    • Leave a comment explaining that the hook was removed from the queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
    • If the day title for the section that contained the hook has been removed from this page, restore that section.
  • 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.
  • Add a link to the nomination subpage at Wikipedia:Did you know/Removed

How to move a nomination subpage to a new name[edit]

  • Don't; it should not ever be necessary, and will break some links which will later need to be repaired. Even if you change the title of the article, you don't need to move the nomination page.

Pop out cake

Created by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 13:11, 19 April 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg I am surprised this one hasn't been reviewed yet (or created before) since it immediately caught my attention. It was "new" and long enough when nominated and appears to be properly sourced, but there are many tags that need to be dealt with. Can the issues be addressed? Surtsicna (talk) 11:36, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Surtsicna, I don't see the "many tags". I only see {{In popular culture}}. At Talk:Pop out cake#Trivia section, you can see that SMcCandlish and I have been going back and forth regarding the trivia section. Basically, he wants it removed immediately and I interpret WP:MISC as suggesting that trivia sections should be viewed as temporary information holders that should be worked into the prose. My belief is that a trivia section is allowed to remain in an article for a time in hopes that someone will find a way to beef up individual items to be sufficient prose elements. I feel that this is suppose to give an article some period of time at least months. The purpose of {{In popular culture}} in fact is to give people time to notice the information at risk. WP:DYK is the highest profile exposure that this article will receive. Hopefully, some editors will notice the tag and take action to beef up individual items of trivia. Thus, I think the article should go to the main page with the tag on it.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:28, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
I see. There are two more (inline) tags in the Background section, however. Surtsicna (talk) 19:34, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
(edit conflict) The purpose of the tag is not at all "to give people time to notice the information at risk", it's to flag a pile of unencyclopedic trivia. This particular gag has been used in probably at least 1,000 films and TV episodes and other media, and WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE policy is clear that we should not be dumping random examples in there endlessly. If a week still isn't long enough for you to rework that material into an encyclopedic narrative of notable and well-sourced material (sourced not as to "it happened in this movie, too, the 397th example I can find", but sourceable as to why the appearance is significant to an encyclopedia readership in any way), then it should come out.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  08:21, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
I apologize, I have been travelling. I am in Memphis helping my mother who is preparing to move. We have got her attic cleaned out now. Getting back to the subject at hand. The subject of this article may have 1000s of pop culture references, however, only a few seem to rise to the proper level of notability to be mentioned in WP:RS (or on plot summaries on WP for that matter). The few that are currently in the article are not just random examples, but rather a select few that have RSs. The main tag that is present is a tag that does not mean to remove content upon sight although the content is suppose to be temporary. I think it is suppose to call attention to content that needs more attention. The purpose of DYK is to avail well-formed content to readers who are willing to pay attention to newly developing content.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:57, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
I doubt anyone much will want to review this while it has the tag on the "In popular culture" section. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:39, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
That apart, there are sourcing problems in the current version and with the hook. The hook is sourced to todayIfoundout.com, which isn't an RS but is used six times in the article. That leaves most of the background section unsourced. The Book of the Dead needs a page number. Groomstand.com is not an RS. The Daily Star is not an RS. The DC Comics Encyclopedia is a copy of Wikipedia articles published by PediaPress.
The history of "surprise pies," which contained animals such as birds and frogs, should be developed a little and based on RS. The article doesn't mention the nursery rhyme. The practice progressed to human beings being hidden in pies, including Jeffrey Hudson, the subject of the hook. There are lots of reliable sources for Hudson, including David Piper, Lord Minimus: A Heroic Comedy (1955), and Nick Page, Lord Minimus: The Extraordinary Life of Britain's Smallest Man (2002). There is also an essay about him by Thomas Postlewait in The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Theater (2015), which gives the date of the pie banquet as 5 November 1626. Postlewait uses the term dwarf, but I'm not sure we should.
SlimVirgin, it would be appreciated if you could introduce your improved sources to the text with whatever detail you feel is appropriate.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:28, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
"Pop-out cake" needs a hyphen. The "in popular culture" section should probably be removed or developed. SarahSV (talk) 15:15, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg Adding appropriate icon based on SarahSV's review. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:29, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
  • As I have stated elsewhere, policies regarding galleries say that they should be temporary, but not that they should be wiped away immediately. We hope that others will notice them and develop them. The main page is place that they could get noticed. There is no place to get this page any more of a chance to have that content noticed than on the main page.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:28, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
  • I have removed the image templates from this nomination since the image files have been deleted from Commons. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:03, 31 May 2016 (UTC)












Articles created/expanded on April 19[edit]

Sticky Vicky

  • ... that Sticky Vicky retired after performing for more than 30 years in Benidorm in a show that included pulling out several objects from her vagina?

Created by Triplecaña (talk). Self-nominated at 16:43, 19 April 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol confirmed.svg new and long enough, interesting hook cited in the article, good to go. Javier Espinoza (talk) 02:28, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg I copyedited the article for English grammar, but User:Cowlibob indicated in this post that much of the article is a direct translation of Spanish-language sources. @Javier Espinoza: are you able to verify that there is no copyvio or close paraphrasing in these sources, or is there another editor who knows Spanish who can verify this? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:21, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Hello Yoninah, as for the hook, there is no copyvio, the article is close to copyvio, but it has the right sources for it. Javier Espinoza (talk) 19:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
  • @Jaespinoza: I'm sorry, I don't understand your last two statements. "The article is close to copyvio"? Does that mean it's copying the sources? What does "having the right sources" mean? Copyvio doesn't just apply to the hook, but to the whole article. If something isn't Wikipedia-worthy, it isn't DYK-worthy. Yoninah (talk) 21:10, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
  • There is no copyvio in the Spanish article per this It may need more rewording and copyediting in the English version I'm afraid but I've done the best I can. Thanks Cowlibob for his/her help.Triplecaña (talk) 22:18, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg The article needs further copyediting: there are sentences that are hard to puzzle out and the narrative doesn't flow well in places. (The paragraph about the Sticky Vicky lawsuit is one that needs attention.) I would advise a request to the Guild of Copy Editors. Triplecaña, is this article a translation of a pre-existing article on the Spanish Wikipedia? BlueMoonset (talk) 16:22, 21 May 2016 (UTC)


Articles created/expanded on April 21[edit]

Musheirifa, Zalafa, Ma'ale Iron

Salem in 2016
Salem in 2016

Created/expanded by Bolter21 (talk) and Huldra (talk). Nominated by Huldra (talk) at 23:30, 28 April 2016 (UTC).

  • Comment; since this is a nomination of 4 different articles in one DYK, note that they were started/expanded on different days, Huldra (talk) 23:36, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
  • @Huldra: According to this guideline (WP:DYKSG#H4), further QPQ reviews are required for the other three articles included in the hook. As there is a backlog of about 150 unreviewed nominations, I don't think I can overlook this requirement.
  • Symbol question.svg These four articles are long enough. They are all nominated soon enough except for Musmus, which appears to have been worked on since 9th April, but I don't think we need be too concerned about that. The image is appropriately licensed. The hook facts have inline citations and the articles seem neutral to me. Many of the citations are to sources unavailable to me or in Israeli, however I do not believe there are any copyright issues with the articles. This nomination will be good to go when the remaining QPQs have been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:28, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol voting keep.svg Sorry for the delay, I had the nomination on my watchlist but it slipped through unobserved. With all four QPQs done, this nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:59, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg Given the duplication of content between articles, Musheirifa is currently short of original prose. I would also strongly recommend that all of the articles be copyedited. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:54, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
  • User:Nikkimaria Since neither Bolter21, nor I, have English as our mother tongue, I strongly welcome any copyediting by native speakers. As for content; I´m sorry, I don´t see that Musheirifa is too short? Huldra (talk) 22:01, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
  • When content is repeated from one article to another, it doesn't count towards the minimum size. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:15, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Watching: in a similar case, long ago, I reviewed three nature parks with similar content, resolved as bolding only one of them and mention the others as normal links, in the hope that being mentioned on the main page (even without bolding) would get them attention. It worked. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Well, from what I can see: what is similar is the 1948/9-info. And it is difficult to do anything with that, as the villages had the same destiny then. As for the other similarities; yes, we use the same half dozen sources for virtually all the Arab/Palestinian places: the 1596-daftar, Guérin, the Palestine Exploration Fund's 1882 Survey of Western Palestine, the 1922, 1931 & 1945 population data, etc. The data for for each place differs, though (obviously). Huldra (talk) 21:43, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
User:Nikkimaria -User:Gerda Arendt User:Cwmhiraeth if Nikkimaria agrees, we could just remove Musheirifa, and go with the rest? Huldra (talk) 20:50, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
That seems a good option, leaving it in the hook unbolded as suggested by Gerda. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:48, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

User:Cwmhiraeth ok, so:
is a hook that should be acceptable for everyone? Alternatively:

Huldra (talk) 23:17, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

I formated them a bit, and offer another, - we don't have to keep them by alphabet, I guess:
ALT3: ... that Salem (pictured), Musmus, Zalafa and Musheirifa are four of the villages making up Ma'ale Iron? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:09, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
That is fine with me! Huldra (talk) 21:34, 8 June 2016 (UTC)


Articles created/expanded on April 25[edit]

U.S. Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard

Created by LavaBaron (talk). Self-nominated at 07:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg: The article is large and new enough. The hook's also interesting but I can't see it inside the article. I just see a list type mention of him. However, the hook is not verified. --Mhhossein (talk) 13:39, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, sorry for my delay, however, I don't understand the reviewer's comment. LavaBaron (talk) 17:29, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Mhhossein I can see the hook explicitly stated and supported by inline citations in the article. If you mean this should be stated in the form of a sentence, I don't think that is necessary. I think you want LavaBaron to say more about Ellis' role here. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 17:54, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @LavaBaron: You're welcome, but I don't know how Ellis's serving in coastal guard can be interesting without knowing that he was a fashion designer. I suggest you to use this source to mention his fashion career so that I can verify the more interesting original hook. Mhhossein (talk) 05:07, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The fact that Perry Ellis was a fashion designer is already established in the existing sources, specifically source 9. LavaBaron (talk) 05:30, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
  • So you just need to mention that he was a fashion designer. Mhhossein (talk) 17:28, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Mason Cox

Created by Shirt58 (talk), SuperJew (talk), and The-Pope (talk). Nominated by Shirt58 (talk) at 13:08, 1 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. It appears you have more than 5 DYK creation credits, so a QPQ is in order. The hook reads more like a biography than a hook. The part about him playing on the women's team has a lot of potential! Yoninah (talk) 18:57, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you, that looks better. I added "Magpies" to the article (it's in the source). There is now one paragraph without any citations, per Rule D2. And we're still waiting for a QPQ. Yoninah (talk) 17:33, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg QPQ ready? Time for a re-review? --PFHLai (talk) 14:24, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @PFHLai: it appears that a citation was added to the paragraph without letting us know. All paragraphs are cited now. I'm happy to submit one of my own QPQs to get this to the main page: Template:Did you know nominations/I Am Tour (Leona Lewis). As I started the review above, should I complete it, or should another editor sign off on this? Yoninah (talk) 15:24, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: It would not be a bad idea to have you complete the review. As you are generously donating one of your own QPQ credits, this review would allow you to "re-stock". BTW, it doesn't look like the nominator, Shirt58 (talk · contribs), has ever done a DYK nom review before. --PFHLai (talk) 05:38, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg OK. People have been editing this page since I reviewed it, but the review still stands, with no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 09:15, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment: First try doing a DYK, hope I followed the form correctly.

Created by Cawhee (talk). Self-nominated at 04:00, 4 May 2016 (UTC).

Symbol question.svg You did a lot right! Thank you. - I reduced the caption to something practical - this will actually appear on the Main page if the image is chosen, can't have seven lines then ;) - I add the formal (pictured) to the hook which is interesting. I guess we'll go back and forth a few times about the article. Please write a bit in the lead about his art, and have a reference for some last facts of a paragraph. Check for repeated words and format all-capitals to normal even if the source has it that way. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Thank you so much and firstly I must apologize for taking so long to reply. I've been rather busy over the last month and just haven't found the time. I went ahead and made some minor changes to the article that I hope will iron out the majority of your concerns. CawheeTalk 15:56, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
No apology needed, we are in no rush for a certain date. Thank you for expanding, more would be nice, such as one line about the style/character of his art in the lead, always a source at the end of a paragraph (which can be the same as used before), and no ALL CAPITALs in a ref title. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:02, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
Is the image out of copyright? France has weird copyright laws, and he may be considered to have "died for France" giving him an extra thirty years copyright. We could fair use the image in the article, but not here. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:42, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
The image cannot be used for the nomination as it is not used in the article. (Only images that appear in the article can be used here.) BlueMoonset (talk) 01:49, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Thank you, both, for the clarification: Cawhee, I suggest you insert the image in the article, but we don't show it on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:52, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

  • 5x expanded, but not unsourced prior to expansion. SSTflyer 05:18, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi, SSTflyer. Nice catch. I adjusted the nom. Is that satisfactory? Thank you. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 17:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't know if it is accurate to characterize the shock as "therapy," since it appears that the event was purely accidental (and not exactly "therapeutic," in the medical sense of the term). Perhaps we can say that she "accidentally received an electric shock" when filming? -- Notecardforfree (talk) 17:43, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Notecardforfree. She was exposed to medical grade electroshock therapy which has several synonyms. She was not merely exposed to an electric shock. She got zapped by a medical device that was accidentally energized during taping. Please feel free to pick another synonym for that medical equipment and suggest a rewrite, or just go ahead and change the hook. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 23:17, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
@Checkingfax: It may simply be a matter of semantics -- when I read the article, I assumed that the accidental shock was not therapeutic in nature because it was not applied for the purpose of providing medical treatment. (By way of analogy, if a Doctor intended to give Mr. X a flu shot but accidentally injects him with a syringe containing estrogen instead, would it be fair to say that Mr. X received hormone replacement therapy?)

  • I feel I have to fall back on GNG here. The fact that this has been covered as one of the very few cross-border clubs that has played in another nation's league with coverage of such and the fact that they have played in the Montgomeryshire League, which at level 5 of the Welsh system, enters its clubs in the Welsh Cup which makes it notable pursuant to WP:FOOTYN.

Created/expanded by NearEMPTiness (talk). Self-nominated at 14:59, 4 May 2016 (UTC).

Symbol question.svg This needs more copy-editing. For example, the title of the article needs work to make it clear that it's a story title and not actually about the real creation of the violin. And there's an obvious typo "d' something". The key blocker is that the hook seems unacceptable. It seems too subtle or allusive and, even within its own frame of reference, it doesn't seem to make sense as it was the violin that had not been seen before – the current wording seems to suggest that something else came from this.

As the article is translated from German, it may have lost something in translation. I'll see what I can do to help.

Trinity Green (building)

Created by Joseph2302 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough. Unfortunately the main hook is clearly not true. All the up to date sources, apart from the lazy Independent journalist (who only says "possibly") say they were designed by Sir William Ogbourne. Hooks ALT1&2 seem pretty boring. It would be better to just say when and why they were built, or do "only surviving ....". Any hook needs to say where they are (in London). Johnbod (talk) 13:46, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
Symbol question.svg I don't think this is correct, or at the very least needs clarifying. See List_of_almshouses_in_the_United_Kingdom#Greater_London. Oncenawhile (talk) 08:13, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
That source doesn't support the statement that it's the only one in East London (although I'm sure a source did claim that). Joseph2302 (talk) 09:32, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
This is ok, but not great because there's no context. I suspect this would be one of the oldest buildings in Whitechapel, but we'd need a source to state that.
What might be more interesting is a hook explaining that the statue of Booth is there because it was the area where he first began his work that became the Salvation Army.
Separately, the title of the article is wrong. Technically the term "Trinity Green" appears to refer to the square in front of the buildings. The common term for the buildings (note it's plural, not singular as currently in the title) is "Trinity Green Almshouses" or "Trinity Almshouses".
Oncenawhile (talk) 10:04, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
Would [1] suffice for being "the oldest almshouses in Central London"? Joseph2302 (talk) 10:34, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Symbol confirmed.svg I am content with ALT5. It's a big claim, but the Evening Standard is London's dominant newspaper so should be reliable, and having checked the other almshouses on our list above it appears to check out as I cannnot find any earlier. Oncenawhile (talk) 06:12, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Ok with me too. Johnbod (talk) 16:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
I was considering promoting this to prep but did not. For a start, Mile End is not normally considered to be in Central London, and the Evening Standard is hardly an expert in architecture. It might be better to have a completely different hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:16, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth I don't see why the London Evening Standard is not a reliable source, like you're claiming. Also, Mile End is Central London for some definitions of Central London, such as the London Plan. Given this hook has been approved by 2 people and is reliably sourced, I don't see a need to change it. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:03, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
You should think what the phrase "reliable source" actually means. I'm sure the London Evening Standard can tell you what happened yesterday - news - but what does the author of the article know about old buildings? In this case it is just a casual remark in the headline in an article about a planning proposal. The "oldest" is always a risky claim to make unless backed by a proper reliable source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:57, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Well two other editors think it's fine, and there's no reliable sources that dispute or contradict the claim.
If you don't like ALT5, what about ALT6? Joseph2302 (talk) 09:16, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
How about "is considered to be the oldest" or "is thought to be..." or "has been referred to as..." Oncenawhile (talk) 18:37, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Any "oldest" claim needs to be very well-founded, and there is also the question of defining "Central London". Oncenawhile has suggested a possible solution, and ALT6 could be reviewed. I just made a passing comment that I wasn't prepared to promote ALT5. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:44, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ I'd accept any of the following hooks:

ALT7 is as suggested by Oncenawhile, to make it ALT5 less contentious. I would appreciate if someone would review one of these hooks. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:36, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Reviewer needed to check ALT6 and ALT7. I have struck ALT5 per Cwmhiraeth; this is just the sort of thing that has caused hooks to be pulled in the past. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:09, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
  • BlueMoonset, I'm assuming you just want the hooks checked here: if you want a full check, let me know. ALT6 is mostly fine, but it refers to a bust, and the online source appears to show a full-body statue: nitpicky, perhaps, but unless the offline source says different I'd rather avoid that. ALT7 is sourced inline, and supported by the source, and good to go. A trifle dry, perhaps, but I'm okay with that. Vanamonde93 (talk) 18:14, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
These almshouses are in Mile End. Our article on Mile End states "Mile End is a district in East London, England, 3.6 miles (5.8 km) east-northeast of Charing Cross." So how can these almshouses, which are in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in the East End of London, be the oldest in Central London? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:41, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Well, it depends on the definition of Central London- there is no universal definition. The Wikipedia article says that "The London Plan defines the "Central Activities Zone" policy area, which comprises the City of London, most of Westminster and the inner parts of Camden, Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth and Kensington and Chelsea." Under this definition, the houses (which are on the edge of Whitechapel and Mile End in Tower Hamlets) can be seen as part of Central London. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:57, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Also, changed the article, as most of the sources just say it's on the Mile End Road, rather than Mile End itself. Although if sources believe it's in Central London, then I don't why other Wikipedia articles, which are tertiary sources, are being used to dispute secondary sources.

  • Symbol possible vote.svg @Donnie Park: I understand you're still working on this article, but I wanted to make you aware of some substantial copyright violations/close paraphrasing that should be removed as soon as possible (and definitely corrected before this runs). See this copyvios report. Some of the similarity comes from a quote, which is not a problem, but there's several sentences/phrases outside of that quote that are word-for-word the same as the source. ~ RobTalk 16:30, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
  • BU Rob13 I done as much as I can, that's for a dormant article that was left lying in my hard drive for 6 years and with a total loss of motivation and am struggling to bring this down from 61.5%. Donnie Park (talk) 20:20, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg I haven't looked again yet, but don't worry too much about the percentage. There was a large block quote taken from that source, which will always give you a high percent. As long as the large quote is properly attributed, it's fine. I'll take a more thorough look later, or another editor is welcome to. ~ RobTalk 20:28, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg There shouldn't be an apostrophe in "it's" in the hook, it is referring to the possessive form. There's a similar problem in the article. The hook is cited to the RM Auctions source, but that says it was driven for nine years in New York, but we don't know if that's "regularly" or not. The other part of the hook refers to the claim in the lead, "Against expectations, it won Le Mans on its debut, significantly the last front engined car to win Le Mans in 1962" but I can't obviously see where this is referred to in the article body or verified in any source. Bottom line is I think more work is required before this can pass - as a general rule of them, I find hooks should leap out and be obvious as you write the article. If you do have any ideas for fixing the hook, ping me and I'll have a look. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:52, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Ritchie333: I hope I fixed the hook whilst still waiting for this to be copyedited however, the source also says "it has been frequently driven" but I modified the hook anyhow. The source does say "only 4-litre Testa Rossa built, it also is the last Testa Rossa and the last front-engined sports racing car built by Ferrari" and "the last front-engined car to capture the overall victory at Le Mans" which confirms to the hook. I managed to bring it down to a 40.5% copyvio but am struggling to bring it down any further as many of these are names and quotes. Donnie Park (talk) 18:22, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Sorry to be a pain, but ALT1 doesn't seem to be particularly "hook worthy" - most cars get driven around after their first owner sells it after all. Let me have a think and see if I can suggest something else. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:04, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Ark Encounter

  • ALT1:... that the July 7 opening date for the Ark Encounter theme park was chosen to correspond with Genesis 7:7?
  • Reviewed: Andrew McClary
  • Comment: Open to additional hook suggestions

Converted from a redirect by Acdixon (talk) and 1990'sguy (talk). Nominated by Acdixon (talk) at 21:29, 16 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg The article began as a redirect and was expanded on May 11, but it looks like it was in draft space first. The draft page was deleted by an administrator, and I don't have access to the history to know how long it took to write it in the first place. I'm not sure if converting from a redirect counts as "new", but if it doesn't and this is an expansion, that history would be useful for the seven day rule. The article is clearly long enough, is well-sourced, neutral, etc. First hook is sourced to two newspapers, though one doesn't appear to be online. Second also sourced. I think both are interesting, as well as the fact that the park requires its workers to sign statements of faith before being hired, which is cited to multiple sources and was a really big deal. QPQ ok. Other than the timeline (which may not even be a factor if this is considered new), everything looks ok to me!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 04:21, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
  • @Dudemanfellabra: I went back and restored the draft (since I was the one who deleted it to begin with) so you can verify the article's age. It did start from a section of text lifted from Answers in Genesis, so maybe it should be considered a five-fold expansion rather than an expansion from a redirect. I think it qualifies on either account. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 13:55, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
  • I'm not so sure about this one. If it is considered a new article, I would say everything is great, and this should pass. If it is not a new article since it was a redirect (or since it was forked from a section on Answers in Genesis first), it looks to me from the draft history that the expansion took more than seven days. The expansion started way back on April 20, and May 11 is definitely more than seven days after that. If you look seven days before May 11 (i.e. May 4), the article was 28,113 bytes, not 5x smaller than its current size of 35,610 bytes. To qualify as a 5x expansion, the article would have had to start at 7,122 bytes, which is even smaller than the original section on Answers in Genesis.
  • Then again, the fact that all of this happened in Draft space may make the timeline moot. I'm not too familiar with all of the rules of DYK, so I'll let someone else come along and confirm. In the mean time, I would suggest leaving the draft history visible to everyone so another editor can make a more informed decision. Regardless of the technicalities, great job on the expansion!--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 23:17, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Former redirects, stubs, and other articles in which the prose portion has been expanded fivefold or more within the past seven days are also acceptable as "new" articles
Articles that have been worked on exclusively in a user or user talk subpage or at articles for creation or in the Draft namespace and then moved (or in some cases pasted) to the article mainspace are considered new as of the date they reach the mainspace.
This is considered a new article as of 11 May, the date it was moved to mainspace from draft. According to the page logs, this started out as a small paragraph in 2010, and was speedy deleted the day of creation on "A7, No explanation of the subject's significance". It was recreated as a redirect on 22 April 2016. On 11 May 2016, Acdixon moved what he had been working on in Draft, to this article, in effect converting the redirect to a new article. It is considered a new article as of 11 May 2016. — Maile (talk) 22:53, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Without entering the discussion above about whether this article qualifies within the DYK rules, it seems to me it conforms with DYK intentions and I consider it OK. Either hook could be used. I find the claim that it is the "largest timber frame structure in the world" to be quoted all over the place online and did not find any other wooden structure that made such a claim. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright problems. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:53, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol delete vote.svg No way. The cites for the "largest" claim are (1) the church's own magazine, and (2) what is obviously a press release. Either go with ALT1, or rewrite ALT0 as "claims to be". EEng 05:39, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Tangent about DYK icons
You know what would really help, BlueMoonset? When you edit a DYK nom, the editnotice has a little gallery of the tickmark templates, but nothing to tell you what they mean! Even if you go to the templates themselves, most don't tell you what they mean. I always just guess. Could that be fixed? EEng 14:21, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
  • EEng, they're explained in the DYK reviewing guide, which I've added to the DYK toolbox so it's just a click away at all times. The edit notice is more of an aid to memory for people who have read the DYK rules/guides rather than a full explanation, so I'd be reluctant to add that level of detail to it. (And maybe I shouldn't have, since the reviewing guide is in the template box right below the toolbox when you're editing a nomination template. The addition may not stick.) BlueMoonset (talk) 15:12, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
I see no harm in transferring those handy desciptions in the Guide to the editnotice. Would you object to my doing that? EEng 17:05, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
EEng, the potential harm is a TL;DR the longer we make that area above the edit window. Please first propose doing so on WT:DYK and see what the general DYK community thinks. If they agree, then go ahead. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:01, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
Too much trouble for something so simple. I'd just boldly do it (two or three words at most per symbol) so people can see it in situ, but it's protected. Please consider just doing it yourself. EEng 23:10, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
If it's protected, then I can't do anything with it either (not an admin). Looks like WT:DYK is your only hope. Now, let's end this tangent and let the nomination continue. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:58, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
OK, I was waiting for the rest of this discussion to die down before responding. First of all, let me say that I don't have any particular aversion to ALT1, except that I'm not sure people will immediately connect July 7 with 7/7 with Genesis 7:7, but that's OK, I guess. But let me also say that I specifically chose the article from the Cincinnati Business Courier to cite this fact because they do not say they are quoting any AiG representatives or materials. Some, but not all, of the other articles making this claim did explicitly cite AiG. The question with the ones that didn't is, did they just trust AiG, or did they independently verify the fact? It may be more likely that they are trusting AiG, but if they did independently verify it, would they explicitly state that? I doubt it. Because AiG likely made the first claim that the ark will be the largest timber frame structure in the world, does that mean we must automatically assume every outlet that reports the same is just trusting AiG?
And further, AiG has been making this claim for years. Suppose you had built a timber frame structure that was larger than the proposed dimensions for the ark (which again, have been out there for years). Wouldn't you challenge AiG's claim out of your own self-interest? Given AiG's extreme unpopularity among a dedicated subset of the population, would they not have gone to great lengths to uncover and promote the inaccuracy of the claim if it were, in fact, inaccurate? Acdixon (talk · contribs) 18:37, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but what I said before still holds. The church magazine is absolutely useless as an RS for such a claim, and (whether you see it or not) the Biz J piece is patently a press release paraphrase. A claim like this needs to be sourced to an organization in a position to know such a thing e.g. the International Society of Structural Engineers (I just made that up) or Guinness (though I'm not as sanguine on Guinness as some are), or something. We certainly can't use logic along the lines of "no one else has challenged the claim" -- we have no idea if there's some giant blimp hangar in Uzbekistan that (a) doesn't know about this claim and/or (b) doesn't care.

First, who's citing a church magazine? If you mean The Messenger, that's actually a daily newspaper in Madisonville, Kentucky, not an AiG publication. It's also not meant to cite the fact presently being discussed, but another part of that same sentence. Also, AiG is not a church. It is a nondenominational, not-for-profit organization.
Second, I conceded that the Journal piece is possibly a paraphrase of a press release, but your begging the question does not suffice as proof that it is, just as the absence of an explicit citation to a press release is not proof that it isn't. Further, your condescending "whether you see it or not" is rather unbecoming.
Finally, the claim does not seem to originate with AiG, according to their own web site, but with Colorado Timbermill, their partner in the construction. Admittedly, the mill has a conflict of interest because they are helping build the ark, but they also have a reputation to protect by not making false claims within their own industry. They are, as you categorize it above, "an organization in a position to know such a thing". It's their business and livelihood. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 21:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Apologies re The Messenger -- the article doesn't link to their piece so some Googling led me to conclude it was a church magazine. But it doesn't matter. Sources need to be independent of their subject (a press release isn't, and a participating construction company isn't) and even then, their reliability is evaluated in light of the claim being made. "Biggest in the world" is an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary sources. I can hardly believe you offered this link [2] to bolster your case, reading as it does

More False Accusations Against the Ark Refuted! ... A number of secularists have accused AiG of lying about the size of the Ark we are building ... The research conducted by the leading timber frame mill in America, Colorado Timberframe, has shown that the Ark is the largest timber-frame construction—not the largest wooden structure. The front page of the mill’s website declares that they "teamed up with Ark Encounter to create a life-size recreation of Noah’s Ark” and that this project will be the “world’s largest timber-frame structure."

So, contrary to what you say above, there has indeed been pushback on this "largest" claim, with argument about definitions and so on which an authoritative, independent source needs to speak to before we can possibly put such a claim on the main page -- and at this point I don't think we could even run it as "is claimed to be", given the serious question as to the reasonableness of the claim. BTW, it's complete coincidence that my conjecture -- that a blimp hangar somewhere might compete with this ark thing -- is precisely the counterexample someone's offered to the "largest" claim (as seen at your link), other than the fact that blimp hangars are a well-known example of gigantic structures.

If fear of damaging one's reputation was an effective deterrent to blatant lying, then Donald Trump would still be just a lonely narcissist masturbating over piles of $100 bills in his penthouse while his yes-men wait in the next room, instead of the beloved demagogue he is today. I suggest at this point that we just wait to hear what other editors think. EEng 22:41, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

I didn't say the fear of damaging one's reputation was an absolute deterrent against lying, but I do contend that it should be some deterrent for a company in a niche market and without the name recognition of your proffered example, Donald Trump – an example that I found unnecessarily crude, btw. So it's a bit of apples to oranges, but that's really here nor there in light of the rest of what I'm about to say.
I did not provide the AiG link as evidence of the claim; I provided it as evidence that the claim did not originate with AiG, but with a timber company qualified to make it. I agree (and acknowledged, btw) that their affiliation with AiG is problematic, but in some ways, they are still more authoritative than the pushback you mention. Who is more qualified to speak to the definition of timber frame structure and evaluate whether a particular structure is the largest one in the world to meet that definition, a company that makes its money by constructing such structures, or a group of scientists who are likely trained in biology, chemistry, physics, or some other very worthy discipline that are nonetheless unlikely to be familiar with the timber industry? Add in the fact that there is almost a cottage industry in the scientific community around attacking everything Ken Ham says – and the tone of the criticism offered suggests that these critics are part of it – and you see that the ones offering pushback are neither qualified nor neutral, where the timber company is at least qualified, if not necessarily neutral in the matter.
I do not concede that the claim, as published in the Cincinnati Business Courier, is absolutely copied from a press release, as you have so far maintained, but failed to credibly prove. I believe this would constitute an independent, reliable source under normal circumstances. However, your newly raised policy-based point about "extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary sources" is one that I find more persuasive, because I don't think anyone would try to claim that the Cincinnati Business Courier is an extraordinary source for this type of claim. For that reason, and no other, I would say we are better off using ALT1.
I admit that I have a more favorable view of AiG than most, and that is why I feel obligated to make sure that subjects like this are treated fairly (but not favorably) based on policy, not the visceral dislike that the majority of Wikipedia seems to have for them. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 00:44, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
TLDR, as long as you understand ALT0 is unacceptable without better sources. As for Trump, those of us who will be ending up in the camps a year from now, should things go south, will need to find humor where we can. EEng 01:21, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Akashi District, Hyōgo

Created by Athomeinkobe (talk). Self-nominated at 04:20, 16 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, neutral, inline cited, no copyvios found. AGF on close paraphrasing, since I can't check that against non-English sources. As best I can tell from the machine translation, the hook is cited properly. It's also short enough, interesting, and neutral. I have one small issue with the hook. It's not immediately obvious that Akashi is a town/city based on how it's written. I assumed Akashi was a person at first and was a tad confused. Would you be fine with a slight copyedit to change the ending of the hook to "the city of Akashi left"? ~ RobTalk 07:19, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your review Rob. Excluding the word "city" was an attempt at humour; I first considered omitting the word "District" from the piped link also, but thought that might be taking it too far. I wanted to create intrigue, not confusion. But since confusion is the result, I agree that the change should be made. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 07:42, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
@Athomeinkobe: Alternatively, if you wanted to go with humor, we could always throw this in the queue for April Fool's Day hooks next year. You'd be waiting a full year for the credit, though. Completely up to you. ~ RobTalk 08:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Gender pay gap in India

  • ... that to help curb the gender pay gap in India, women have a right to equal treatment from employers in all recruitment processes, promotions and training under the Equal Remuneration Act of 1976?

Created by Abhinayaprithivi (talk). Self-nominated at 20:04, 14 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg This is a very well-written article. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Hook ref verified and cited inline.
  • I have tagged the chart as needing a source.
  • In the article, the hook fact closely paraphrases the source but at the same time does not state it correctly. The source says: no employer shall, while making recruitment for the same work or work of a similar nature, [or in any condition of service subsequent to recruitment such as promotions, training or transfer], make any discrimination against women. The article says: recruitment processes including promotions, training or transfer within the organization can also be challenged under this Act. Promotions, training and transfer come after the recruitment process. Please edit this accordingly. The hook states this fact correctly, but I suggest mixing it up a little, as follows:
  • ALT1: ... that to help curb the gender pay gap in India, women have a right to equal treatment from employers in all recruitment processes, job training, and promotions under the Equal Remuneration Act of 1976? Yoninah (talk) 11:00, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

High heel policy

  • ... that high heels (pictured) were illegal in England and Parliament is being petitioned to act again?

Created/expanded by Mhhossein (talk) and MurielMary (talk). Nominated by Andrew Davidson (talk) at 13:22, 20 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Comment: I think we need to express why the petition has begun. So, I propose the following hook:
'ALT1:'...that high heels (pictured), once illegal in England and Parliament in the eighteenth century, is being petitioned to act again after a female employee refused to follow the dress code at the office? Mhhossein (talk) 12:38, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
  • The problem with ALT1 is it's a bit long-winded, and ALT2 gives the impression that mandatory high heels have caused controversy in London before, which doesn't appear to be the case. How about ALT3 ... that a receptionist for a major firm was sent home unpaid from work because she refused to wear high heels? (Off topic, I followed the article links to Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins, and was crestfallen to discover that "Hopkins" wasn't that one. I'll put the popcorn away). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:46, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
  • But ALT1 is 198 characters! Mhhossein (talk) 12:53, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Mhhossein, ALT1 is still quite long even if under the absolute maximum (note WP:DYKHOOK, which does not guarantee passage even if just under 200, and says hooks should be concise); not only does it seem to go on and on, its wording is problematic: it reads as if "high heels...is being petitioned", which makes no sense. I've struck it. ALT3 is interesting, but I think it needs to establish where this happened, whether London, or in the UK, or whatever. Most of these hooks, including ALT3, require sourcing by the end of each sentence in which the hook facts appear (for ALT3, the first sentence of the final paragraph). Further, the sentence needs to state that it was the failure to wear high heels that caused her to be sent home—it doesn't actually come out and say that this was the part of the dress code she ran afoul of. (Was that the extent of her infractions?) BlueMoonset (talk) 02:26, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg The source say nothing about "winning a scholarship" to Harvard, just that she did a summer-course there. As for ALT1: to me, it looks as if she won one award, but two sources name the award differently? ALT2 seem correct, though not very relevant (it is not swimming which has made her known). Article length is ok. Huldra (talk) 21:19, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks for editing the hooks, User:Mr. Smart LION, but the problem is in the article: there are things there which I cannot find in the quoted sources. Like the scholarship, like two prizes. Those things were put there by new editor Gouravbhosale (who probably also should be mentioned among the DYKmakes), and must be cleaned up before this article can be promoted, IMO; Huldra (talk) 08:37, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

  • User:Mr. Smart LION: I´m sorry, but I´m not ready to accept this for DYK, as long as there is clearly unsourced statements in the article! And those unsourced statements are clearly "promotional". (Even if those unsourced statements are not in the hook.) The article simply has to be cleaned up, first! And I am not so familiar with the GAN-procedure, but the GANs I have been involved in, have been far, far longer than this. Huldra (talk) 14:03, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

(She is not mentioned in the Mumbai-article. either, but we still link to it!) And it is ok, for the same reason, to link to Mumbai Film Festival (that it has a merge-tag is irrelevant.) I´m still not happy about the sentence "was awarded with the Best Debut Actress award and Most Promising Newcomer Award." It sounds as if she won TWO awards, while, from what I understand, she only won ONE award?

  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Vivvt, I just ran DYKcheck on the article, and it is a very clear 5x expansion. DYKcheck says so, and the largest the article ever was in any of its previous incarnations was 703 prose characters, which would require an expansion to 3515 prose characters; the article is currently 5967 prose characters, an expansion of over 8x. But even if it hadn't been, a gap of over a year—even several months—means that the article is effectively new; this is what I've always been taught by DYK vets (and now I'm one myself). Any material reused from previous versions of the article would need to be expanded 5x (I didn't see any in this case), but otherwise the normal requirements for a new article (which includes articles replacing redirects) would apply. I'm sorry I didn't check this more closely earlier. At this point, I think the article needs a new full review—there has been a major expansion since the last tick was given, and most of what's there is new. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:18, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Created by Daderot (talk). Self-nominated at 17:17, 14 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Daderot, first and foremost, I want to thank you for writing this article -- it is a very nice addition to the Encyclopedia. Unfortunately, there are a few issues that need to be resolved before this nomination can be approved, but I am confident that with a little work, this article can be approved soon:
  1. The DYK Rules state that article must be a minimum of 1500 characters in length. By my count, this article is about 400 characters short. Can you please expand the article so that it meets the length requirement?
  2. The DYK Supplemental Rues (D2) also state that articles must use inline citations rather than general references. Can you please place inline citations in this article?
  3. I am not sure that the fact asserted in the hook is actually true. A quick google search turns up sources that state pianos were brought to California before 1849 (see, e.g., this story about a piano that arrived in 1843). Can you please clarify this?
  4. Can you please add the date of Mr. Burns' death to the article?
  5. This is not relevant to the DYK criteria, but you should add project boxes on the talk page.
With respect to the other criteria, this article was created on March 14, there are no issues with neutrality, QPQ is not required (nominator has only one other DYK credit), and there are no images associated with this nomination. Please feel free to contact me if any of the above is unclear, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 23:38, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi there - thank you for your kind words. I don't think I can add much more substance to the article (even the death date) as information seems scarce. And the piano thing was the only interesting point, so if you've found one before then.... Well, I suggest we not proceed any further! best wishes, Daderot (talk) 10:52, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
@Daderot: I don't think that there is a tremendous amount of work that would need to be done with this article; all you need to do is add inline citations and a few additional sentences about events that happened in his life. For example, you could add some of the descriptions about his work in the Dolge book. That book also has some good material for potential hooks (you could say, for example, that Burns "impress[ed] his workmen with the idea that a piano is a work of art"). If you don't want to work on this article further, then that's fine too, but I certainly think it has potential and I don't think it will take much work to resolve the issues listed above. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 16:24, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello again - Notecardforfree, I'd like to thank you again for being so thoughtful and friendly - it's people like you that make Wikipedia a truly special undertaking. I'm about to set off for a lengthy vacation, but will see what I can do when I return.

  • Symbol question.svg The way this hook is written, it seems to capitalize on tragedy. There are also too many numbers here, and you need to convert them for Wikipedia's foreign audiences. I would write it this way (though, as you can see, ALT1 still has way too many numbers):
  • ALT1: ... that Jane Little, 4 feet 11 inches (1.50 m) in height, played a 6 feet (1.8 m) tall double bass for the Atlanta Symphony for 71 years – a world record for tenure with a single orchestra?

  • "An amazing way to go: Jane Little, world’s longest-serving orchestra musician, collapses and dies performing ‘There’s No Business Like Show Business’" (Washington Post)
  • "Jane Little, record-breaking symphony bassist, dies after collapsing on stage" (CBC)
  • "Woman who held record for longest tenure with an orchestra collapses on stage, dies" (CNN)
  • "Record-holding double bass player collapses on stage, later dies" (CBS News)
  • "Jane Little, Atlanta's Dainty Double-Bass Player For 71 Years, Dies Onstage" (NPR)
Were the circumstances of her death dramatic? Certainly. Was it a tragedy? I submit that her death onstage in fact highlights the incredible willpower of this amazing woman, who perservered despite numerous injuries and the daunting pain of cancer, and kept right on playing out of sheer determination. In short, she kept performing to the very end -- and the way she died was very much in keeping with how she lived her life. (Btw, I'm planning on adding a paragraph about this very subject to the article in the next day or two.) Having read half a dozen full-length articles about Ms. Little, I rather suspect she would be tickled by all those headlines! :) Cgingold (talk) 05:02, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
As for the concern about "too many numbers", let me give that some serious thought, before I comment one way or the other. Regards, Cgingold (talk) 05:05, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Korean Patriotic Organization

5x expanded by Rhee In Joon (talk). Nominated by Piotrus (talk) at 06:28, 19 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, adequately referenced. Image is freely licensed, but is very dark. QPQ done. A few issues:
  • The article lacks English grammar and a tag has been placed on the article. Examples:

  • References need to be formatted with name, date, etc. of articles cited.

  • Answer : Yes. Korean Patriotic Organization aimed for Korean independence through assassinations of prominent Japanese figures. And they also bombed Japanese buildings located in Korea, Japan, China etc.Rhee In Joon (talk) 01:53, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, the entire article needs copyediting. I just listed a few examples above. Just starting the article, we come across these garbled sentences:

Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea propelled various types of independence movements. Korean Patriotic Organization (Haninaegukdan, Hangul: 한인애국단; hanja: 韓人愛國團 also known as Korean Patriotic Corps or Korean Patriotic Legion) was one of the secret organization that to assassinate prominent Japanese figures of Empire of Japan. Korean Patriotic Organization was made by Kim Gu, president of Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. (...) Korean Patriotic Organization is a new way of independence movement by assassinating major people of Empire of Japan.

  • @Yoninah: Well, since I don't think the students can fix the grammar issues themselves, I went ahead and copyedited the article. I think the article needs expansion with regards to the other activities and the final fate of the organization, but those should not be issues for the DYK. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:09, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Piotrus: thank you. I also copyedited the article, and moved around and removed some images. There are two tags on the article, a citation needed tag for the information under "Other activities" and a clarification needed tag for the sentence under "Later history", which doesn't make sense as written.
  • I am hesitant to AGF on the sources because I'm not sure that the student translated them correctly. The lead image was identified as "For memorial of establishing Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea", whereas Google Translate correctly translates it as a "state council commemorative", which means something different. Are you able to review the sources and affirm that material has been written correctly? Yoninah (talk) 19:27, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
  • There is also the matter of tags on the text... Yoninah (talk) 06:40, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Well, everything was fine until someone expanded the section under Later History. None of these sentences make any sense. Yoninah (talk) 15:18, 13 June 2016 (UTC)




Articles created/expanded on May 19[edit]

Pawnee Agency and Boarding School Historic District

Created/expanded by Bruin2 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:00, 25 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Long enough, new enough, neutral. The second paragraph in 1913 schoolhouse needs a cite. There's some extremely close paraphrasing or possibly even copyvios in the descriptions of buildings. For instance, "It contained two classrooms and an assembly hall on the main floor, and a furnace room, coal room and storage room in the basement." in the 1913 schoolhouse is sourced from "The building contained two classrooms and an assembly hall on the main floor and a furnace room, coal room, and storage room in the basement." I'm not sure how deep the copyright violations/close paraphrasing run, but I'm placing a maintenance tag on the page. This needs to be fixed before this can run on the main page. The hook is short enough and interesting, but it's not supported by the cite, which says only two buildings are serving the college. ~ RobTalk 16:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)


Hi BU Rob13,
  • Thanks for your comments. They are very helpful. After rereading the source, I agree that the third rehabilitated building in the subject site was not considered part of the original Pawnee Boarding School. ALT1 below reflects this fact. Thanks for catching it.
  • ALT1* ... that two buildings of the former Pawnee Agency and Boarding School Historic District were rehabilitated to serve the new Pawnee Nation College?
I am also rechecking the article against the McClure thesis and the NRHP application to make sure I haven't carelessly incorporated too close paraphrasing, other than what you had pointed out. Bruin2 (talk) 04:11, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
ALT1 will work. Let me know when you've completed your review for close paraphrasing and I'll go over it to double-check and then sign off. ~ RobTalk 04:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)




Iranian diplomats kidnapping (1982)

  • ALT1:... that the Iranian government believes that four of their diplomats kidnapped in Lebanon almost 34 years ago were handed over to Israel and are still alive?
  • Reviewed: Isa ibn Muhanna

5x expanded by Mhhossein (talk). Self-nominated at 07:00, 20 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg New enough, long enough, QPQ done. All non-lead paragraphs have cites. Copyvios picked up a bit of close paraphrasing, which needs to be addressed either by direct quoting and attributing or paraphrasing more fully. See here, particularly the sentence in the third paragraph of the "Fate of abducted diplomats" which is nearly entirely copied from the source. Both hooks are interesting and short enough. AGF on the main hook (subscription-only source), ALT1 is cited properly. ~ RobTalk 21:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
@BU Rob13: Thanks for the precise review. I try to resolve the mentioned copy vio issue. Mhhossein (talk) 05:03, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Symbol voting keep.svg Issues resolved. I did some more copy-editing for one other close paraphrasing issue I found. I struck ALT1 due to neutrality issues. We really shouldn't air one nation's grievances against another on our front page. I'd rather not see Wikipedia cited in 10 years as a reason for a further deterioration of the Arab-Israeli conflict. I'm putting a tick on this, but also pinging BlueMoonset for an experienced second opinion on this article. If you see any neutrality issues, please do bring them up. We need to get this right if it's going on the main page, given the topic area. ~ RobTalk 05:19, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Rob: What you stroke was a well-sourced and well-attributed opinion and I don't know how you concluded Wikipedia would be "cited in 10 years as a reason for a further deterioration of the Arab-Israeli conflict." Anyway, thank you again for the review. Now I also think the original hook is more neutral. Mhhossein (talk) 07:00, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
  • (edit conflict) Symbol possible vote.svg Rob, I'm afraid I ran into problems with the very first sentence of the article, which states that three diplomats plus a reporter were kidnapped, which contradicts the four diplomats mentioned in the hook. (There are also issues with the wording of that first sentence: I rather doubt the kidnapped reporter was the only reporter the news agency has, but that's implicit in the wording.) Two sentences later, the names of the four victims are given, but now they're all diplomats. If one's a reporter, then say which one. FN15 (Mehr) gives detailed descriptions of each man's job title, while FN12 (PBS) varies in that Moqaddam is called a "driver" rather than a diplomat, though that could still mean embassy staff. Finally, I'm wondering whether "unknown" in the hook might be better as "unclear" or "disputed": either they were killed after their abduction, or they're still alive.
There are two major issues with this article. The first is that it needs a thorough copyedit, and should not run until that is done. If the copyedit is done by someone who can look for POV issues, so much the better. The second is that while I do not know many of the sources, I'm uncomfortable with the amount of bias inherent in their writing: many of them state as an apparent fact that Israel did the kidnapping, when the capture was done by Geagea's forces, and what happened next is what's unclear. The sole Israeli source mentions that the second stage of the 2008 swap would include a report from Israel on the fate of the four kidnap victims in exchange for info from Hezbollah on Ron Arad: didn't the swap take place? It seems unlikely that Hezbollah would have suppressed the report if they received it. About Geagea: he is reported in FN12 as having "said" that the four were killed after having been kidnapped; by using "claimed" in the article, Wikipedia is effectively casting doubt on Geagea's reported statement (see WP:CLAIM), which is a POV issue.
The second paragraph of the intro is problematic, in my view, in that it not only needs a prose revision, but it's taking an opinion of Nazih Mansour's that this has become political rather than judicial, and presenting it as fact.
I wish I had better news for you and Mhhossein, but for now this article needs significant work before it can be promoted to the main page. Thanks for the ping. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:22, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
In response to Mhhossein, the reason ALT1 isn't neutral is that it presents Iran's opinion of things without presenting Israel's. Essentially, it would be using the main page to make an accusation against Israel, which some people would (rightly, I think) take issue with. I'm going to post this at the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard in the hopes of getting some additional eyes on this article. I don't think the problems are quite as severe as portrayed by BlueMoonset (prose is not bad enough to hold up on the basis of needing a ce, in my opinion), but the POV issues are a problem. I had flopped before giving his the tick on whether it should have to meet WP:WORDS, which is one of the reasons I pinged BlueMoonset for a second set of eyes, and after hearing his opinion I agree that it should given the sensitive topic area. Thanks for the second opinion. ~ RobTalk 12:09, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
BlueMoonset: Apaprently, there are different narrations of the story regarding the titles of the kidnapped persons. Most of the sources (such as the one by Haaretz) use "four diplomats". I think there's no contradiction between being a photojournalist of a state controlled News agency and being a diplomat! What do you think? I also think "unknown" would better be replaced by "unclear". How biased the sources are does not matter, as you know per WP:BIASED, rather the way their content is reflected is important. We should be careful not to write 'opinions' as if they are 'facts'. AFAIS, wherever the allegations regarding Israel is written in the article, the sentence is attributed so that the readers understand that it's an opinion not a fact. On the Haaretz source; I don't know of the swap took place or not! Regarding the issue caused by "claim"; you're right and I'll do that. On the second Para of the intro; You're right again and I'll correct that by making proper attributions. Thank you for the points. Mhhossein (talk) 13:58, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Dear Rob, some changes are made as you see, what else do you suggest should be done? Mhhossein (talk) 13:19, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ At the very least, the NPOV tag needs to be resolved. An independent review for neutrality from a relevant WikiProject (Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Middle Eastern military history task force, possibly) would also be helpful. Frankly, I don't know the material well enough to sign off on neutrality. ~ RobTalk 14:08, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm astonished that a photojournalist, even of a state-controlled News agency, could be considered the equivalent of a diplomat. They're not the same thing at all—diplomats have special status when they're in another country, unlike journalists, and would be credentialed entirely differently, too. Just because otherwise reliable sources have been careless with the facts by stating "four diplomats" doesn't mean Wikipedia should be, especially when there are more careful reliable sources available (and being used) on those four. I've struck the remaining hook since it contains the phrase "four Iranian diplomats". BlueMoonset (talk) 16:14, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: I don't insist on calling them photojournalist or diplomat or other things. The only thing I know is that we have to act based on the reliable sources. Remember that Your argument, i.e. "reliable sources have been careless with the facts", can be used to change many things in many articles and you have to prove this carelessness using some other reliable sources. Anyway, what should be done? Mhhossein (talk) 04:47, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Dear Rob, can you please tell me exactly what parts and what words have POV problems (as you have raised some of the POV concerns you must know the problems)? Ho can the NPOV tag be resolved when no point is raised. AS you see, your Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard nomination has led to marginal issues such as grammar brought by an attacking IP. I don't say the article is neutral, neither do I say it's not! The only thing I say is that if you say it's not neutral then please be specific so that I can resolve the issue! Mhhossein (talk) 04:47, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm kind of in the same spot as you in that I don't know if it's neutral or non-neutral due to an unfamiliarity with the sources. The fact that almost all of the article is devoted to Iran's view of what happened to the diplomats makes me suspect that this has a pro-Iran slant. When Israel's POV is talked about, it's often accompanied by somewhat of a negative slant. Use of words like "denies" is against the WP:WORDS guideline and suggests that Israel is guilty. The section stating that Israel handed over a "report" hints at the claim that Israel was responsible (rather than the more-likely possibility that they handed over a report on what their intelligence sources know; if they were responsible, they wouldn't go around handing a report saying they were). Fars is essentially a state-run media source, and you've used it to source the claim that Israel has contradicted themselves. I'm not saying you're pushing that POV; it's possible you've just found sources that have a pro-Iran slant as well. There is some alternative stances in the sources you already have in the article that haven't been incorporated. The Reuters piece calls the "kidnapping" an arrest, which isn't something even considered in the article as written. All that is a starting place, but what we really need is experts in the content to review the article, which is why I recommended posting at a relevant WikiProject. ~ RobTalk 05:05, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Rob: Thanks for the points. I removed the "deny" word and would like to say that NOT all of the article is devoted to Iran's view rather it was tried to include most of available sources to enrich the article and most of the sources have paid to Iranian comments and actions, which is natural considering that the abducted individuals were Iranian! However if you find some other sources I'll welcome using them. On the report by Israel, this is what exactly is mentioned by the source and I don't see such a problem as you say. The Reuters piece have also used "kidnapped". Yes, there's an "arrest", but so what? they were arrested and kidnapped! Nearly all the independent sources say they were kidnapped (abducted). One point I'd like to say that we usually do the reviews here. If there are further points, take it here. If you think you "don't know if it's neutral or non-neutral" because of your "unfamiliarity with the sources", we can simply ask for another reviewer. Mhhossein (talk) 17:10, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Any other reviewer is welcome to review for neutrality and give a tick if they're familiar with this content area, but my point is that no reviewer is likely to have such familiarity unless you specifically seek one out by encouraging WikiProject participants to comment on the page (either at the WikiProject talk page, or here). ~ RobTalk 17:13, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
As a side note, reviews are done here, yes, but content decisions that must be made to approve at DYK are routinely carried out on the article's talk page or another relevant talk page. DYK is not an appropriate venue to have a long discussion on neutrality that will likely require many participants. ~ RobTalk 17:14, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: What should be done next? (BTw, plz consider this comment.) I went deep in the sources to understand the titles of the abducted individuals. Mhhossein (talk) 07:18, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
Mhhossein, apologies for the delay in responding. I've made an edit to the article that included revising the last remaining occurrence of "four" with "diplomats" and also an unnecessarily inflammatory quote; it should still be clear from context that it's the four Iranians who were abducted. At this point, there are two active discussions on the neutrality issues—talk page and neutrality board—that need to reach their natural end and some kind of consensus before this can continue. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:30, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ @BlueMoonset: I consider both discussions resolved in the sense that no specific concerns have been raised that haven't been addressed (since no specific concerns were raised at all). The point of the NPOVN discussion was to get eyes on the article, and that wasn't successful. The next usual step would be to notify relevant WikiProjects, as I recommended to Mhhossein a few times. At the very least, a neutral request for more eyes on the neutrality of the article should be placed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history, possibly also WP:WikiProject Iran and WP:WikiProject Israel. If there's no response to those as well, I would consider neutrality "resolved". ~ RobTalk 16:14, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

BlueMoonset Thanks for the edit. I think that no specific concerns were raised at all, too and that the two discussions are inter-related. I don't think placing it at WikiProjects would be necessary and normal and I think the normal way is to ask for another review. BU Rob13: I welcome any specific problem, if you see any, otherwise we can't act based on speculations. Mhhossein (talk) 18:12, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Alerting WikiProjects to content issues within their subject area is entirely normal. You're not going to find any reviewer who can verify neutrality without knowing the subject area. ~ RobTalk 18:27, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
I admire your concern, but why do you think there's no reviewer here familiar with the subject? Mhhossein (talk) 05:15, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Because I know most of the regular DYK contributors and know that none of them specialize in the Arab-Israeli conflict. There's a chance someone would eventually come along, but it would go much more quickly if a notification was posted for the projects. ~ RobTalk 05:37, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

2016 Sweden riots

Created by User2534 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:18, 29 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Comment: @User2534: This article seems to be about the 15 May riots. I believe other riots have occurred in Sweden this year (e.g. Emmaboda in January, Alby in March etc.). So, this page should probably be moved to a more specific title. Also, the Swedish-language citations are probably scaring away the potential reviewers. I'd suggest dropping a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sweden, requesting a Swedish speaker to review this. utcursch | talk 21:59, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The article is about the outburst of riots from late March to May, but highlights the 15 May riots as a major outbreak. It is about riots in the suburbs, so includes Alby, but not Emmaboda which is another type of riot at an asylum centre (and outside the main timeframe). User2534 (talk) 09:23, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed to check ALT2 hook; striking previous ones due to issues raised at the abovelinked discussion. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:12, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg "the deep-sea smelt family Bathylagidae": Sorta redundant? (It feels like saying "the Swiss country Switzerland".) Anyway, the article meets the newness and length requirements, paraphrases the sources well, and the hook is accurate according to its reference. QPQ is valid. FishBase's database server just crapped out, so I'd recommend adding an archive link for that reference. (Cwmhiraeth) 23W 00:16, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Would a new reviewer be necessary if it's just a matter of rewording the hook? Because "... a black pigment in its stomach lining that may conceal the presence of bioluminescent prey this fish has swallowed" flows a lot better. (BlueMoonset) 23W 00:38, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
  • 23W, your revision flows better, but it's saying something different: Cwmhiraeth's ALT2 is talking about the smoothtongue's presence not being revealed even though it swallowed a bioluminescent fish, while yours is talking about concealing the swallowed bioluminescent fish with no implication of it being a survival mechanism. I think the interest is that the pigment is (presumably) protecting the smoothtongue from discovery, as opposed to protecting the (already doomed) shining swallowed fish. (Given the change in emphasis, I think a new reviewer would be warranted for your proposed hook.) BlueMoonset (talk) 01:43, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
  • I am happy with either. As Fram's original objection was that I had given a reason in the hook for the black pigment being in the stomach lining that was not actually present in the source, perhaps ALT3 is better. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:57, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
What is ALT3? Can someone provide the correct hook? Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
I'm still confused as to which hook is better—I think that ALT3 is more accurate to its source while ALT2 is closer to the article's contents—but I'll leave that for the next reviewer to determine. (Hawkeye7, BlueMoonset). 23W 01:51, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol delete vote.svg New enough, nominator QPQ exempt, non-list content is verified with citations to sources. Matters that need to be addressed:
  • Hook content is not stated in the source used in the article at the end of the sentence stating the hook's content. It's a primary source, and states that Jade Garden is "an exquisite European style garden", but does not adequately verify the wording in the article, which states "has been modeled after the famous European garden". In terms of the hook, the source does not state that it's "modeled" or that it's "famous", or that it's modeled after a specific, single European garden, as the hook suggests;
  • The article is not long enough; presently at 1383 B (1500 characters is the minimum);
  • Virtually all of the sources in the article are primary; the article needs the addition of independent secondary reliable sources to verify content;
  • Would benefit from copy editing for organization and cohesion;
  • Presently tagged with orphan and primary sources templates (the latter of which I added, because this needs to be addressed). Please see WP:DYKRULES for more information about DYK rules and processes. North America1000 13:45, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg @Evolauxia: @Cgingold: This article is new enough and long enough. However neither of the hooks proposed will do because they each contain more information than is included in the article. You will need to either propose some more mundane hook mentioning only facts contained in the article, or expand the article a little to include the interesting facts you mention in your proposed hooks.

  • I have struck the original hook because at 209 characters, it's above the 200 maximum allowed for DYK. ALT1 is 194 characters, and I'm not sure why there are brackets in the "[a]"—they should almost certainly be eliminated. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:38, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

  • I believe your proposed hooks are hyping this vehicle. I don't think it's accurate to call it "India's first reusable launch vehicle" when it is no such thing yet, only a demonstrator which just made its first test. I'm also concerned about your ALT1's use of "is projected to bring down the cost". That is the goal, but there is no guarantee that projections will be obtained. (That certainly wasn't the case for the US Space Shuttle.) How about:
  • Hello JustinTime55, thanks for your time. Sorry if it came across that way, but I am not in the business of promoting anything and in first hook I had used the word "prototype". ISRO (India's space program) is known for low cost operations. ISRO's mission to Mars costed less than the movie Gravity and 90% less that NASA's mission to Mars. Also, I have not used my conclusions and those are official statements by the agency. In anycase, I am ok with the hook you suggested. Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 05:11, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
  • OK. My intent was not to accuse you of promoting or having a conflict of interest. I just put that wikilink to "promotion" just to define the word hype, which is an American idiom I thought you might not be familiar with. It's often used informally to mean making something sound like more than it is, and not necessarily literal advertising promotion. Sorry it came across that way. JustinTime55 (talk) 12:56, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

(sorry for picking this up so early). However, I don't particularly like the phrasing "has been classified" in either the article or the hook, as it is very vague.

Bamidele Ali

Created by BU Rob13 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:58, 25 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg New enough, long enough, QPQ done, and overall within policy. The hook is properly formatted. The issue in this case is that the source for the hook is not a very reliable source. The prose of the bio used as a reference is not very good and the company's website seems like it is a very small venture that is trying to make itself appear to be a large company. The website tries to paint an overly-rosy view of themselves and employees and I think that a better, independent source is needed to support the hook. This is the text supporting the hook:

With years of experience in design, defining technology roadmaps, and creating new business models, his focus is now turned “dimensionally” on 3D printing. With advances in 3D printing his 7-year old son’s [Freedom Ali] ability to innovate will only be limited by his creativity, not by the tools at his disposal.

The company's "About us" page cites the Wikipedia article for its product and I'll admit I checked the nominator's user page and contributions just to make sure this wasn't promotional (no apparent conflict-of-interest). Please either find a much better source or suggest a new hook. AHeneen (talk) 06:57, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
@AHeneen: The relevant policy is WP:PRIMARY, which states "A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." The fact that he specialized in 3D printing is a straightforward, descriptive statement, in my opinion. He either works in 3D printing or does not, and the source makes it clear that he does. The statement makes no judgement on how important he is in the field (and I agree, that site is probably overblowing his importance by a good margin). There's really nothing else interesting in the article, unfortunately, so I really do think we should run with the unusual jump from football to an innovative technology. I added a single cite by DSM, by the way, to confirm he worked there as the director of additive manufacturing (which means 3D printing). ~ RobTalk 12:32, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg The article does not mention when Ein as-Sahala was established. The 19th century was only mentioned as the time when the founders of Barta'a left Ya'bad. Therefore, the proposed hook cannot be used on MainPage. Please put the relevant details and refs into the article, or propose a new hook. --PFHLai (talk) 15:34, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol comment.svg The Hebrew source says it was established in the mid 19th century.. Obviously you don't speak Hebrew, how can I prove it?--Bolter21 (talk to me) 16:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The Hebrew source, titled "Ein a-Sahala: Type: Non-Jewish village", reads: An Arab village in Reches Um al-Pacham, two kilometers northeast of Arara. Established in the mid-19th century by residents of the village of Ya'bad.
  • Note: The village name is spelled incorrectly in the title and text. Arab names begin with "a-" or "al-". This should be Ein a-Sahala. Yoninah (talk) 20:49, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The village is called Ein a-Sahala in Hebrew, but not in other sources. The name can be translated as "as-", "al-", "el-", and "es-". There is no correct form to write in English, it's a matter of dialect and we don't know which dialect does the people of Ein as-Sahala speak.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 20:53, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • When it comes to foreign-language names, there are many variants in English-language sources. Wikipedia goes by WP:COMMONNAME. The article in the Hebrew Wikipedia calls it Ein Al-Sahala. Rather than go by your gut feeling, please go by the majority of sources. Yoninah (talk) 09:51, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
The question, should it be "al" or "el"? All Hebrer sources only use "a".. The sources doesn't provide an answer.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 17:07, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
  • I see. The Israel Economist and Israel Government Yearbook, which you did not consult, spell it Ein el-Sahala. So do the Arab sources, Umm El Fahem Archive and Iron Construction Committee. The Hebrew sources call it either Ein a-Sahala or Ein Sahala. I would go with the majority of sources and call the page Ein el-Sahala. Yoninah (talk) 20:14, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Alright, but it needs to be Ein el-Sahla, because most sources I"ve seen said Sahla and not Sahala.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 21:55, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Right, I don't know Hebrew. But I'm not looking at the sourcing issue yet. The history section of the article currently says:

    Some of the clan members left Ya'bad in the mid-19th century searching for sources of living, and they found a spring with pastures for their cattle and bought the lands around it and established Barta'a.[3][4] Ein es-Sahala was established as a daughter village of Barta'a.[3][2][4]

    There is no info in the artcle on how long it took to find the spring and buy the land, and how long it took Barta'a to grow so large/crowded that there were enough people to form a daughter village such as Ein as-Sahala ... (This seems to require a few generations?? Was it still the 19th century by then?? early 20th??). IMHO, the article does not support a hook that specifies when Ein as-Sahala was established. Since refs are available, please elaborate on the establishment of Ein as-Sahala and add the relevant info to the article. Otherwise, it seems a new hook is needed. --PFHLai (talk) 01:05, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg @Cwmhiraeth: A few issues here. The original hook to me isn't at all hooky, why wouldn't two different birds have distinctive songs? The ALT establishes that there could be some confusion and is much better but this difficulty in telling the different species apart isn't mentioned in the Orange-eyed flatbill article at all and doesn't have a citation directly after it is mentioned in the Grey-crowned flatbill article. This needs fixing before I can pass this. Additionally the expansion on the Oranged-eyed flatbill doesn't currently look like it is enough to meet DYK criteria, perhaps once the additional text, citations etc. are added it will put it over the edge - Basement12 (T.C) 10:15, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

S Doradus

  • ... that the star S Doradus was calculated to be around 2,000,000 times as luminous as the Sun when at its brightest in 1989?

5x expanded by Lithopsian (talk). Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 14:40, 28 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Content - tricky, but S Doradus is at maximum luminosity when it is at minimum visual brightness. So 2,000,000 L☉ was at the 1965 deep minimum (mv = 11.5). The high luminosity comes from the increase in temperature, additional ultraviolet more than compensating for the decreased visual output. Not sure how to put that succinctly into a hook. Maybe could even use the apparent paradox as the hook rather than just the big number. Lithopsian (talk) 14:49, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg Good expansion of an interesting house, thank you! All Swedish sources accepted AGF. Hook: please word with the manor at the beginning, then the orchard thing, - you don't want people to click on orchard but the manor ;) - Article: I wonder why the infobox has the alternative spelling. Please move the image to below the infobox, sqeezing text between two images is not the best idea. Read again and perhaps change some sentence constructions to "more English", for example:
"At the place of the current estate there was at least since the Middle Ages a small village; during the 16th century it consisted of five farms." while I'd suggest "The site of the current estate was a small village at least since the Middle Ages, consisting of five farms in the 16th century." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:56, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Thanks Gerda Arendt for this very constructive review! I have tried to re-write the article into more readable prose. I also moved the image (though personally I think it looks better the other way). I also made the spelling in the infobox consistent with the rest of the article (Grönsöö is a more archaic form, although it can also be used). For alternative hook, how about:

Symbol possible vote.svg So sorry to do this, but I've pulled this from prep due to the sourcing. Yakikaki and Gerda Arendt perhaps one, or both, of you can help clarify this. I was running the source through Google translate. If you've noticed the WP:DYK section "Superlatives", I was trying to find a way to avoid the possible argument over the word "oldest". The source does say what the hook does, that it's the oldest. I was thinking maybe adding, "according to...." whatever the source is. But the source is Grönsöö Castle, In fact two of the three sources are Grönsöö Castle. So, I think that's a WP:PRIMARY source. Nice web site, but it's their own website. I think it's best to pull this hook at this time, until an independent source can be found for this article. — Maile (talk) 21:46, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

I hope for Yakikaki for a source, but am not keen myself in superlatives, - could be simply
Alt 2: ... that Grönsö Manor (pictured) has an operating orchard founded in 1623? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Source: Jack Baer married first, in 1952, the actress Jean St Clair (marriage dissolved 1969), and secondly, in 1970, Diana Downes Baillieu; she survives him with his daughter from the first marriage and two stepdaughters.'

To illustrate the extent of the paraphrasing issue, here is the full text of the body of the article with issues from above highlighted:

Jack Mervyn Frank Baer was born on 29 August 1924, the son of Frank Baer, a business executive with the British Metal Corporation, who was of German Jewish extraction, and had settled in England as a young man.

He was educated at Bryanston School, as was the slightly older artist Lucien Freud, and they would meet again in later life, followed by the Slade School of Fine Art.

In 1948, Baer took over the Hazlitt Gallery, and built it into "a world-class concern", and in 1973, a merger created Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox, opening a New York affiliate gallery.

He was managing director of Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox from 1973, until 1992, when he became chairman. Baer left Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox in 2001 to set up his own consultancy.

From 1977 to 1980, Baer was chairman of the Society of London Art Dealers. Baer served on the Museums and Galleries Commission, where he worked as chairman of the acceptance in lieu panel; Baer is estimated to have saved £150 million of art. He became a member of the Reviewing Committee on Export of Works of Art in 1992. In 2003, Baer was part of an advisory committee overseeing the updating of information on 1933-45 collections in UK museums.

Baer was knighted in 1997.

From 1952 to 1969, Baer was married to the English actress Jean St. Clair, and they had one daughter together. In 1970, he married Diana Downes Baillieu, and she survived him, as did his daughter, and two stepdaughters

  • Joseph2302 No, you haven't. Here's what you've done: [5] You've fixed the bare urls (good), changed the duplicate title (good) and redrafted one sentence. Earwig may give a low percentage but the examples above are still there. Remember that copying a sequence of ideas with a few altered words is still close paraphrasing and still not ok. I listed three different sources that have been closely paraphrased - if they had all been in one that would be a much higher percentage on Earwig, but them being from different sources doesn't lessen the seriousness from a policy perspective. EdChem (talk) 13:01, 8 June 2016 (UTC) Note also that the changed sentence which you still attribute to the Times is actually lifted from the Telegraph reference, and your changes haven't changed the sequence of ideas at all.

  • Thank you EdChem and Joseph2302. Been rather busy in the real world.

Edwardx (talk) 12:08, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Transformers: The Last Knight

Moved to mainspace by Captain Assassin! (talk). Self-nominated at 12:45, 28 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg The article was moved to mainspace on May 26 and nominated on May 28, so it satisfies the criteria for being new. It is certainly long enough and is well cited and neutrally written. The first hook is cited in the article. The ALT hook is also properly cited, but the wording as it stands is strange. If it was changed to "...Transformers: The Last Knight is the second American film..." I think it would be the more interesting option.
Two questions for the nominator Captain Assassin!: (1) you have QPQ marked as being done "soon". Have you done one since nominating this? (2) What do you think of my proposed change to ALT1? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 06:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Striking ALT1, since Fast 8 was not the first American film to be shot in Cuba, even since the revolution. The number of qualifications that would have to be stuffed into a hook that would make it accurate would not be worthwhile. Fast 8 ultimately had to drop the Cuba angle from its hook, so I strongly advise against trying it here. The above review doesn't mention other DYK criteria, including neutrality and close paraphrasing; please be sure to check those prior to any approval. Thanks.

  • Intelligentsium, thanks for raising your concerns. I initially shared your concerns about the reliability of the source; however, after having reviewed the Crédits et liens section, I believe the source is reliable because the information on the page appears to be drawn from the books and audio-visual documents cited ("Credits") & the Internet links ("liens") are simply included as external links for the audience's exploration.

  • @Howkafkaesque: The site should probably be regarded as a tertiary source. However, besides their sources, tertiary sources must also independently meet the requirement of a "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy", which generally comes from an author who is a professional in the field or a reliable publisher such as a news organ. Do you know anything about the authorship of the site that would confirm such a reputation? Intelligentsium 02:39, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately, Intelligentsium, I haven't been able to determine the authorship of the site. As a workaround, I'm currently going through the reliable sources used by the site (e.g. the documentary associated with CBC, Canada's national TV broadcaster) & will use those as sources to replace the site. I'll update here once finished. Howkafkaesque (talk) 21:59, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that sailor Charlotte Dobson, who was first selected for the Scottish national team at the age of 14, is competing at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the 49erFX event alongside Sophie Ainsworth?

5x expanded by Northamerica1000 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:17, 30 May 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg date, expansion, QPQ and image licenses all fine. However, the source for the hook fact says that this is the projected (i.e. estimated) bill and does not report it as fact. While we could add estimated to the hook I think there are better options for a hook, perhaps around it being the largest permanent ice bar in the world or the amount of ice used in construction. Pinging @Northamerica1000: to suggest an ALT, I'll happily review again afterwards - Basement12 (T.C) 12:54, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Basement12: To keep matters concise, I rewrote the hook above, changing "the average monthly electric bill" to "in 2008, the projected" (diff). The article has also been copy edited to address this. I have devised some alts below; I prefer the first one. North America1000 13:04, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Also, the online source for ALT1 says it is " one of the first permanent ones of its kind in the United States". Yoninah (talk) 23:06, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: No problem. It's debatable that the article had any close paraphrasing, because information can only be written in so many manners without losing the context of the information. However, in the interest of moving forward, I have rewritten the sentence to read "Bioclimatic filters are used to reduce electricity costs" (diff).

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

  • @Northamerica1000: Thank you for taking care of the close paraphrasing. Re the hook, do we really want to rely on the company's website?

  • @Yoninah: In this instance, I think it's all right, because although the company claims it, the claim is reported in a reliable source. I saw the superlatives discussion at WT:DYK, but in this instance, a "world's largest" hook that is verified by a reliable source is likely the best hook to use for this article, to generate maximal interest while sticking to facts.

The real story behind the name change is far more interesting (and tragic) in my opinion - her prospective employers assumed she was a man and revoked a job offer when they discovered she wasn't.

Created by Northamerica1000 (talk). Self-nominated at 10:42, 3 June 2016 (UTC).

Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Hook is correctly formatted. Article is neutral and well referenced. The hook claim is not supported by ref 14 Wilkinson which only says that Columbus introduced sugar to Hispaniola in 1493 and in a later paragraph that in the Elizabethan and Jacobean age edible tableware was used. I think the hook and the article should be revised to match the source and be less specific since undoubtedly people have always used food as eating implements and utensils, if not always on tables.

5x expanded by Wugapodes (talk). Self-nominated at 22:30, 11 June 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Ummm...do you have any other hooks? This one just begs the question, "How does anyone know how many millions locked their doors before, or after, McGruff's warnings?" I have my doubts anything like that could be quantified among the general public. — Maile (talk) 00:23, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The information is from a 1985 study by Garret O'Keefe of the University of Denver published in the journal Society (paywall). It's based upon panel surveys of 426 adults across three cities conducted twice, once in 1979 and again in 1981 before and after the campaign. If you'd like I can email you the study, but I find the methodology to be rather sound. Wugapodes [thɔk] [kantʃɻɪbz] 00:36, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
  • I don't doubt what you say about the source. However, think about it. McGruff (I remember him well) showed up on TV multiple times a day, being seen across the United States by hundreds of millions of people over several decades. And the source is based on 426 adults over a 2-year period? That's why I don't think it can be quantified. If you like, you can leave that hook up there and see if anyone else thinks it's OK. But on that specific statement, I don't believe 426 adults is well representative of hundreds of millions. I would have my doubts even if it limited the statement to a specific city of people not locking their doors. 426 respondents is way too low. — Maile (talk) 00:53, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
  • I understand your objection, and I think it comes down to a difference in our belief in statistics. 426 adults is a rather representative sample (though as I understand it it was 426 adults at each phase, for a total of about 800). If you look at nationwide polling for the 2016 US Presidential election, the sample size for any given poll is around 1000 people and those are generally agreed to be representative of 300 million people. Even a poll of 800 people (IBD/TIPP) has a margin of error of only 3.3 points which is rather good. I would very much agree with you if this were an internet poll or one published in a newspaper, but it was funded by the Department of Justice and subjected to peer review by experts in the field, so I'm willing to take its methodology and results as representative.

  • OK. New enough. Long enough. Hook is verified. This needs some more copy edits. I made a few already. I also made minor tweaks to the hook, nothing major. But I have some problems with the article besides the copy edits. For instance, there's nothing on her life in Sweden, where she spent thirty years--I suppose. And if that happens, perhaps we can make a slightly more exciting hook that involves all three countries? Also, in the references, the titles of Estonian documents are translated, but they should have the original titles as well. Please see Template:Cite news for the proper use of the "trans_title" parameter. Finally, the balance between lead and main text is a bit off, which should be easily tweaked.

Blue moon ice cream

Created by Doug Coldwell (talk). Self-nominated at 11:00, 7 June 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Long enough, new enough, QPQ done. The hook is problematic as it's making a priority claim that's sourced to a local newspaper article on the venue, which isn't reliable for this kind of claim. Also, there is widespread close paraphrasing of Ref. 5 which needs to be addressed. The prose tends to sound promotional at times; unencyclopedic details should be omitted. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 05:24, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Antony-22: Thanks for review. Copy edited the article for improvements. Here are alternate hooks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:15, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • ALT1 - ... that the House of Flavors (their ice cream shown) makes 24 million gallons of ice cream each year, enough to fill 36 Olympic-size swimming pools?
  • ALT2 - ... that the House of Flavors (their ice cream shown) makes 24 million gallons of ice cream each year in its 100,000 square-foot facility?
@Antony-22: I am withdrawing my original hook.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:49, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Symbol possible vote.svg It's an improvement, but the Production section and new section on the record attempt are gratuitously long and still sound borderline promotional. Most of what's in the Production section seems pretty typical of anyone who makes ice cream. Is there something notably different about their process? The section on the record is pretty much a rehash of everything that's in the are article, just in a different order. It has embellishments that aren't in the source. Again, it's cited to a local newspaper, which isn't the most reliable source. Something like this deserves maybe two or three sentences, not four paragraphs.
There's still close paraphrasing of the source I mentioned above. Example:
Article: Neal's son (Bob Jr.) was attending Michigan State University at the time. He graduated in 1961 with a degree related to the dairy industry. He then joined as a partner with his father and became the manager of the production factory. The original packaging plant in Ludington then remodeled to a state-of-the-art facility. After the updating of the equipment it had a larger variety of ice cream flavors and could produce up to 600 gallons an hour.
Source: In 1961 Bob Neal Jr. graduated from M.S.U. with a degree in Dairy Technology and rejoined his father as a partner and plant manager of Park Dairy. At this time Park Dairy began to remodel the old bottling plant and turned it into a modern ice cream production plant capable of producing 600 gallons of ice cream an hour and in a greater variety of flavors.
Pay close attention to WP:CLOP. You need to write in your own words and make decisions about what details to include. You can't just repeat all the same details from the source while changing a few words and putting things in a different order.
Also, be careful about putting the correct references after each block of text. You had several missing and misplaced citations.
Lastly, for the hook, it's okay to say that this company is one of many to claim to have invented Blue Moon ice cream; I think that's more interesting than the ALTs you've provided above. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 09:58, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

The QPQ has been done. The only quibble I have is about the term "minisode" - the source refers to the term in quotation marks, and the link in the article is to a Wiktionary page; yet a search for the term does bring up any other dictionary definitions in the top research results, which I would expect. So the term sounds a bit like a neologism and I'd prefer an alternative phrase that more people would be familiar with - perhaps "mini episode" or "small episode"?

  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I have a few questions. Is the Appearances section equivalent to a Plot section? If not, the third paragraph needs at least one cite, per Rule D2. Is the expansion tag necessary, or can it be appended after this appears on the main page? And would you mind pointing me to the sentence with the inline cite that verifies the ALT0 hook fact? (I struck ALT1 per Rule C6.) Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Note: Nominator has less than 5 DYK credits, so no QPQ needed. Yoninah (talk) 20:24, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah:, Also I removed the expand tag.Tintor2 (talk) 00:37, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
  • @Tintor2: A QPQ is the review of another DYK nomination, which is required of nominators who have more than 5 DYK credits. Since you have less than 5 DYK credits, you do not need to submit a review of someone else's nomination. Thank you for adding the refs to Appearances. I am still unable to find the sentence with the inline cite that verifies the hook fact. Yoninah (talk) 08:53, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Not the nominator, but when I reviewed the article I passed "The character of Yu Kanda was carried over from two unpublished titles created by Katsura Hoshino.[4]" from the "Creation and conception" section to be the sourcing for ALT0. I guess changing the hook from "a previous manga" to "two unpublished titles" might be more accurate. Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 11:28, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Right. The hook fact should be stated in the article. But now it's becoming less hooky: ... that the D.Gray-man character Yu Kanda was taken from two unpublished titles written by the author? Surely we can find a hookier hook? Yoninah (talk) 14:09, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol confirmed.svg I made a few spelling corrections in the article. It is long enough and contains inline citations. It is written from a neutral POV. There are a few wikilinks that need to be fixed in the article, but that shouldn't affect DYK status. There don't seem to be copyvios. The hook is interesting. Neither of the three articles cited for the hook explicitly say that he won the S-League as a player and manager, but they all build on each other to support that claim. Looks good to me! Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:48, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Yoninah (talk) 20:30, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The third lists his team, Kossa, as the national champions of the 2006/07 club championship. The second source lists him as a player of that team. The third source lists him as a winner later in 2015/2016, which it also states he was the coach of. So in my mind, together they do support the hook. However, I agree that the sources should be explicit.Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:39, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

16px Hello! This article was promoted to GA and the DYK followed within two days, so it meets the "New" criteria. Its length is more than sufficient and the hook is sourced with a scientific paper that is certainly a RS. I checked for paraphrasing and most coincidences seem to be around the volume and altitude measurements, which can't really be reworded in many ways. No obvious policy violations were noticed. The hook format is nominal, but the content may need some rewording. Most of the public doesn't know why these iron rich flows are special (most of the public doesn't even know what is in regular lava flows), the article in question mentions that they are "enigmatic" and to make the hook interesting, that should be noted in it. Everything else is ready. Old School WWC Fan (talk) 23:45, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg@Old School WWC Fan: Per Wikipedia:Did you know#Eligibility criteria 3. Cited hook: The fact(s) mentioned in the hook must be cited in the article. The word "enigmatic" appears in the lead without an inline cite, so ALT1 is not yet ready to go. Perhaps the page creator wishes to quote the cited part about it being unique in the world. Yoninah (talk) 20:40, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
There is a section devoted to its possible origins and several references (2, 13, 23, 24, 25 and 26) that discuss several hypotheses, words like "supporting" and "suggest" imply that there is not a definitive theory. I assumed that its origin being unclear was self-evident from the cited prose, which is what "enigmatic" would mean. Something can be of unknown characteristics or origins without being unique in the world. Old School WWC Fan (talk) 00:46, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
I've added the "enigmatic" explicitly to the article, in the "origin" section.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:35, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg The article is long enough. It is written from a neutral POV. There don't seem to be any copyvios, and the hook is cited. However, you need to specifically cite the information from your hook that says he ran for governor of Oaxaca. Raymie Could you reword the hook to include that there was an issue with him running to make it more interesting to know that he was allowed to run because his parents were citizens of Oaxaca. Also, the article is not clear about what the questions were about whether he could run for office or not. It is implied that there were issues about his running because he wasn't born there. I would make sure the wording of that paragraph is clear and explicit.Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 22:14, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

The navalhistory website is funky but archived copies endorse the statements. harrybraswell.com/ is an iffy source but for very low weight claims it may be OK. AGF on the Arcadia Publishing source. Other than these issues it seems everything is well sourced and no indication of copyright or plagiarism issues. Hook is short enough and is used and reliably sourced in the article.

Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Verifiability policies are normative standards until challenged. We don't do a sentence-by-sentence review for RS in DYK except in exceptional circumstances. All DYK articles should be presumed to be in a nascent stage, which is why there is the time limit for submission. The street name of a building does not rise to the level of extreme that would be needed to fail a DYK for a non-hook point of citation. That said, I appreciate your thoroughness and, at the point soon when I prepare to improve this for GAN review, I will certainly ping you to do the review. For now, though, a new reviewer is needed.

  • Symbol possible vote.svg. The article is new (created on 10 June) and long enough. The article is about a talented personality. However, I am not convinced that the article meets WP:BIO, because it is almost fully based on a single article in a local newspaper. I suggest that more reliable sources should be cited to show that those criteria are met. The hook fact is accompanied by an inline citation to a collection of Eddington's own papers ([6]). I think the fact should be verified by an independent (reliable) source. Borsoka (talk) 11:38, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Borsoka The article actually relies on two newspaper articles for the information. The first hook is cited in the article by one of those newspapers. As for the second hook, I have provided another citation to the statement that he designed the hymnbook. The information about Monson commissioning the book was found in his personal correspondence, which I personally read. I also believe that the collection of Eddington's papers is a reliable source. They contain letters and correspondence papers that would be hard to imitate or exaggerate. And they are owned by Brigham Young University.Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 19:25, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

According to source, he started drawing in 1922 and he became paralyzed in 1944, so if the first hook is saying that he drew 2,000 paintings while he was paralyzed, there is currently no source for that... But if you meant during his life time, then it might not be interesting as he might have had painted 2,000 (or majority) paintings just before his accident.

  • Symbol question.svg Article's new enough and big enough. Are we fine with inferring that the plant is named after the discoverer - I don't see it explicitly said but it's very likely? Also, are "lower glume" = "awns"? The length of the awns mentioned in the article refers only to the lower glume in the source - unless I missed something. Everything else appears to be reliably sourced - I am inclined to consider "only been found in Madagascar" = "endemic". Hook(s) seem(s) interesting and are mentioned in article & reliably sourced, the closing reviewer may go with either of them. Didn't notice any plagiarism or copyvio.

True, the original description does not explicitly state Perrier as the one it was named after. But since he's the collector and quite a number of Malagasy plants are named after him, it is definitely safe to say that... "Lower glume" = "lemma", and awns are only on the lemma.

Mitt Romney's March 3 speech

Created by LavaBaron (talk), Wasted Time R (talk). Nominated by LavaBaron (talk) at 22:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg @LavaBaron: Date and length fine, however I do have a slight issue with the hook. I don't think that putting a hook on the main page that calls a high profile US Presidential candidate a "fraud" is in keeping with the WP:BLP policy and I would not be happy approving that. Is there another hook that could be used? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:21, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Good point The C of E - I've added an ALT1 proposal. LavaBaron (talk) 02:53, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Symbol confirmed.svg Much better. Hook is sourced and neutral. good to go however I believe we have to hold this until after 8 June due to the election campaign. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:36, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Third-party opinion to @LavaBaron: and @The C of E:: Both the article and the hook are missing the most important aspect of this speech: How unprecedented it is for a U.S. party's most recent presidential nominee to launch a scathing attack on the party's current front-runner for the presidential nomination. This should be added to the article and be the subject of the hook. Sources that support Romney's speech being unprecedented are many, but include this CNN piece and this NPR story and this RealClearPolitics article and this Business Insider piece and this KING 5 TV story and this New York Times story. For the historical perspective, this other New York Times story features some historians trying to find parallels and having to go back about a century to even find something sort of close. Once this aspect of the speech is added to the article, the hook could be something like:
  • ALT2: ... that Mitt Romney's March 3 speech represented an unprecedented attack by a major U.S. party's most recent presidential nominee against the party's current front-runner for the nomination?
Finally, note that there is no bar to current political articles going up as DYK's and thus this does not need to get held over. For example, Mitt Romney presidential campaign, 2012 and Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016 both went up on the DYK main page shortly after those candidacies were announced; see the DYK banners at the top of their respective talk pages. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:46, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Feel free to add that to the article, WP is edited by people like you and me, not some mysterious force. Until it's added, though, your ALT2 hook isn't supported by the content of the article. LavaBaron (talk) 18:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
I have now added the material to the article that supports this hook. I think ALT2 is the better hook because the unprecedented nature of the speech will remain true no matter what happens, whereas ALT1 is based on loose speculation that will become dated. Note also that I have added myself to the DYK credits since this was a significant contribution (I've added others on to DYK's that I've nominated in similar situations.) Wasted Time R (talk) 00:23, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

The article has attracted some controversy, of course, but no deal-breaker problems (And we want to be sure we make a good deal after all .... sorry :) ). I don't have an opinion about the timing issue mentioned above and will leave that to the editors promoting/scheduling the hook. I do want to say that I'm operating under an assumption that I hope someone will call out if it's incorrect: the hook is very US-centric in the information it omits. My assumption is that because we're linking to the Super Tuesday, Cruz, and Rubio articles, it's ok to omit the fact that we're talking about the 2016 US Presidential election/candidates. Apologies if that's a bad presumption (only my second DYK review). Otherwise, good to go. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:10, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
Just a drive-by observation from a non-USA resident: I had to check the template's history to see if this was vandalism (Trump->Drumpf?), then had to Google it to see if was a spoof or a typo. It's really not clear. Maybe add sic in the hook might make sense. If it's a USA in-joke, its missing others by. I would also suggest it seems appropriate to post after your elections. Much as I dislike all he stands for, should Wikipedia be promoting what I assume to be insults on its home page whilst an election is in progress?Parkywiki (talk) 15:38, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
I don't think the sic is necessary because the term is in quotes, and that's the term that was searched. If you had clicked on the article link, you'd see the meaning behind "Drumpf", which is the point of a good hook. (Also, the guy who did the segment is British.) – Muboshgu (talk) 15:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

ALT1 and ALT3 have potential, but the number is over 400,000 (and will presumably continue growing until June 7). Please advise what you would like to do about ALT0, ALT1, or ALT3, or if you would like to submit another hook. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:31, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg User:BlueMoonset has asked me to finish up this nomination and place it in the special occasion holding area for June 14 (after the US primary season ends). With the creation of the article Bernie Singles on March 27, which is during the time period of this DYK review, I suggest doing a double hook for ALT5, which I am renumbering as ALT7:
  • ALT7: ... that members of a Facebook group for memes about US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (pictured) made their own dating website for supporters?
  • Here is a review of both articles:
  • Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. However, it's not clear that Caudle and Boni were members of this Facebook group. My understanding, from reading the article, is that Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash inspired Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Singles, which inspired Bernie Singles. Perhaps the hook needs to be rewritten? No QPQ needed for first-time nominator. Image is freely licensed.

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Many of the sections and entries are unsourced. Per WP:DYKSG#D2, the rule of thumb is "one inline citation per paragraph, excluding the intro". Intelligentsium 21:12, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The prose paragraphs at the beginning are introduction and (as far as I'm aware) every statement of fact within them is referenced in the individual line item of the table below to which it refers. I've taken the liberty to rearrange the section headings to indicate this more clearly (diff). Wittylama 16:11, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Hi, thanks for the edits. As the introductory prose sections are rather lengthy, it would be nice to have some citations as well - especially to ensure that the summary is verifiable and does not contain any original synthesis (for instance, claims like "Recurring themes include flora, children and classical or abstract allusion" and "Some (such as The Offerings of Peace and The Offerings of War) employ classical references to convey an abstract meaning; others (such as Research) use abstracted forms to convey an idea.") There seem to be a few entries in the table that lack citations, such as Willy Willy, Wave Machine, and New Constellation. Also, a few of the works appear to be inside buildings - can you comment on whether the photographs are in compliance with Australia's freedom of panorama laws? Intelligentsium 02:30, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Intelligentsium: Because this nomination has been approved by both Piotrus (above) and Hawkeye7 (diff), and that these comments are about suggested improvements rather than meeting minimum standards for DYK - can I suggest that you write these on the article talkpage instead and they can be discussed/addressed in the normal wiki-way. Wittylama 16:02, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The DYK requirements state that the article must be within policy. The table entries should have citations per Verifiability, and analysis such as "Some (such as The Offerings of Peace and The Offerings of War) employ classical references to convey an abstract meaning; others (such as Research) use abstracted forms to convey an idea." needs to be cited to conform to No original research. I don't consider the image issue an obstacle as I doubt there is a copyright violation since FOP laws are fairly lax, but just to make sure I've posted to the article talk. Intelligentsium 22:29, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  • I've taken a second look. It is true that the introduction and 10% or so of the entries are unreferenced. I still think this is borderline, but yes, it would be very helpful to see citations for "Summary" and to ensure that each entry has a reference. An example of an unreferenced entry would be "John Christie Wright Memorial Fountain". They are few, so I missed them last time. Thank you for the second and third opinions. Ping if if those issues are addressed, or reasons are provided why they cannot be. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:14, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
1) With regards to citations in the Summary section:
My understanding of the lead/introduction section is that it should summarise information that is presented below (which is why the policy is that the intro doesn’t need footnotes). Therefore, all of the statements in the summary are rephrasing things that are said about the artworks in the comments below, and also that each of the statements in the summary lists the specific artwork where that statement is referenced. You have specifically referred to “The Offerings of Peace" and "The Offerings of War”, and “Research” so I have just now improved the comment section of both of those to state more explicitly what is summarised above and I have also improved the quality of their footnotes. Furthermore, I have removed the "Summary" section heading to make it more clear that this text is intended to be part of the lead - summarising the whole article's contents.
2) With regards to the as-yet-uncited artworks in the table:
Wikipedia’s Verifiability policy is that “All content must be ‘’verifiable’’”. Only BLPs have the higher standard that statements ought to be "verified" immediately. Since all of the items currently missing a reference do at least have a photograph (and many also have a geocode), the artwork demonstrably "exists" and the statements in the comment column are able to be verified, even when they are not yet verified. So, since this is a DYK nomination, not a Good Article review, I believe that this list with over 150 footnotes to historical and contemporary sources is well above the standard for proving Verifiability, not only for the list as a whole and also for the individual works in the list. By my count there are currently only nine eight items on this list of 123 artworks that have as yet no footnote. You must agree this is a very small, and decreasing, proportion.
Notwithstanding all the above, I am of course trying to add footnotes to all of the items. For example, I have added two references for the “John Christie Wright Memorial Fountain” which you mentioned. Some references are more elusive than others but I am steadily decreasing the number of un-cited entries (check the article history). Whiteghost.ink (talk) 15:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

The original hook is not mentioned in the article. The ALT mentions him being at Mametz however it doesn't mention him being part of the Capture nor does it mention Dick and focusses more on the Somme.

The original hook is stated thus in the article: "The club faced Australia on 28 December 1908, and handed the tourists the biggest defeat of their tour, 24–8, Williams providing two tries." The reference states: "The Australians were thrashed by 24 points to 8... with tries from Louis Dyke, J. L. Williams (2)...". I'm striking out ALT1. FunkyCanute (talk) 13:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg These five articles are new enough and long enough. DYK requires that each article nominated has 1500B of unique prose, and part of these articles has a repeating formula. I think they may qualify as they are but others might disagree. If you were to add an extra unique sentence or two to each, they would more surely pass this requirement. This could easily be done by expanding the lead to better summarise the article, or you could add an extra piece of information on each swimmer.

QPQ done. Good to go, both hooks approved, though the main should imply that she's GB's youngest swimmer in the Olympics, not necessarily youngest Olympian. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:48, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

  • As an aside, the Olympic foil fencing event that she's competing in is on 10 August according to this. CeeGee We could move this nomination to the holding area, and run the hook on that date, if you want? If you think that 10 August is too far away, you don't have to agree with my suggestion.

Dharmadhyaksha Typo on the dob corrected. Linking to what is just a messy list of events in a much larger article with no further detail adds nothing to the article, nor especially to the hook. I have added an infobox although it isn't required and in this case doesn't really add a great deal to the article - Basement12 (T.C) 08:59, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Symbol possible vote.svg @Basement12: Almost ready, but I can see a few typos in the article (i.e. "teh heats" and "faster tahn"). More disturbingly, the hook item, about qualifying for the Olympics by less than 1/100th of a second, is not explicitly mentioned in the article. If these problems aren't fixed in three days, I will sadly have to fail this. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5 Firstly I've moved your review to the right place ("Please do not write below this line or remove this line. Place comments above this line"), secondly (and more disturbingly) the fact is in the article and has been all along so please try reading it again and looking for "one hundreth of a second" (1/100 is used in the hook to make it shorter) - Basement12 (T.C) 07:16, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
I know it's there. The problem is that it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the article. Even a short phrase like ("or 1/100th of a second") would have been fine. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:57, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
Narutolovehinata5 I have literally no idea what your concern is here. By article do you mean the article or the source, because "one hundredth of a second" is mentioned in both in relation to the qualification standard. It's also mentioned again in a second source giving both his time and the qualification time (which I added just in case there was confusion but apparently it didn't stop it from occurring). Or do you somehow think 1/100th of a second and one hundredth of a second are different? - Basement12 (T.C) 08:33, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
@Basement12: I meant in the article it wasn't explicitly mentioned (at the time) that he qualified by 1/100th of a second, merely what his actual time was. In any case, the article now mentions the margin, and thus I am happy to say that this is a pass. Symbol confirmed.svg Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:44, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
As I say it was there the whole time, quite literally from the first revision but hey ho, thanks for taking the time to come back and finish the review - Basement12 (T.C) 09:17, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
