  • Newly created article of an ITN Recent Death article, which are still DYK eligible. It's long enough, neutral and well sourced. No sign of close paraphrasing. The hook fact is interesting. But, why doesn't the article link to 1976 Zaire Ebola virus outbreak? QPQ is done. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thriley, ForsythiaJo, Spencer, and Muboshgu: Hook's a bit person-does-their-jobby, got anything else? (If I had my druthers we'd be running "... that Joel Breman, who was part of the team which combatted the 1976 Zaire Ebola virus outbreak, died while in Chevy Chase?", but I suspect pigs will fly before that gets past WP:DYKGRAT.)--Launchballer 09:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a comment not a review, but doesn't the hook violate WP:DYKFICTION? I do think the hook is interesting, but unfortunately it's focused on a plot point without having a real-world connection. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:18, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article is otherwise rather light on other potential hook facts, but this might work as an alternative:
ALT1 ... that the soundtrack to the 2024 musical Teeth was described as ranging from Christian rock to "an ancient feminine Tori Amos meets Stravinsky pagan ritual music"?
Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: Good point – I didn't think about that. I like your alt suggestion though! Spaghettifier (talk) 19:03, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Broadway World is listed at WP:RSP in red, meaning it can't be used. If it was added to the article, ALT2 ... that Teeth, a depiction of a young woman's discovery that she has teeth in her vagina, has been described as having a "lethal bite" by The New York Times? could work.--Launchballer 09:07, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3: ... that The New York Times described "Teeth" as having a "lethal bite"?--Launchballer 16:14, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3 sounds good! @Spaghettifier: Are you okay with it? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:40, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion @Launchballer:! Replaced the BroadwayWorld source and added the lethal bite description. I'm thinking one tweak so we still get a sense of what the show is:
ALT4: ... that The New York Times called Teeth a "feminist awakening with a lethal bite"? Spaghettifier (talk) 23:49, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

  • Nominated soon enough after GA. Meets length and citation requirements. Hook is absolutely interesting and the right length. The content of the hook is referenced in the article and a citation is appended immediately after where it appears. The image appears to come from a Nazi German government source, which means it's almost certainly in the public domain. Only concern is with the image's visibility at a smaller scale; going to just leave that up to promoter discretion. QPQ done (a quick-fail of novice nomination).

  • The article was created yesterday, so is new enough. It is much more than long enough and properly uses in-line citations. AGF on proper paraphrasing of the offline sources was used. Both hooks are interesting and cited in-line, with the first one being better I think (though perhaps need some commas?).

Earwig has a high score for copyvio detection, but that's entirely due to Messi's paragraph-long statement in the "Departure and Japan trip" section, which has an inline citation to the flagged source.

  • New enough, long enough, and properly sourced. No QPQ needed. Earwig found no problematic copied wording. Good-enough hook, but one must synthesize a couple pieces of information in the article to obtain it: the "largest township" part is at the end of the town section, dated to the early 19th century, while the "deserted" part is at the end of the "clearance" section. In fact both facts are adjacent in the "Maverick Guide to Scotland" source, with much tighter dating (largest in 1815; cleared between 1814 and 1818) and to avoid problems with WP:SYN the article would benefit from making them adjacent somewhere within it, footnoted to that source. Also, "deserted" is maybe a euphemism for what happened. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks David. What if the sentence in the Town section said "Before the clearance, it was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver"? That would would be consistent with the Maverick Guide guide source and not change up the current before-during-after structure. I could also change the sentence in the Clearance section to say "completely deserted by 1818" to avoid any ambiguity.
I think "deserted" is, from a NPOV, the end result of what happened, it describes what's left. You could say "forcibly depopulated" or something but I think "deserted" is clear enough and used in the sources. -- D'n'B-t -- 18:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To me, "deserted" is an accurate and neutral description of the state of the place now, but not of the process by which it reached that state. How about
  • ALT1 ... that before its inhabitants were evicted, Rosal was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver?
but that would require a new reviewer as I can't both propose hooks and approve them. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Article is long and new enough, and properly sourced. There are no BLP issues. Both hooks are interesting. ALT0 is properly cited but I'm unsure about ALT1. Waiting on that QPQ. 🌙Eclipse (talk) (contribs) 15:51, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Hi LunaEclipse, I'm definitely leaning more towards ALT0, since it's focused on the critical reception of her work featuring a trans character, rather than the focus solely on the fact that Gigl and her character are trans. I've just added a DYK that I just reviewed. Thanks for taking a look at this! Best, Bridget (talk) 00:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • The facts for ALT1 are supported but the phrasing seems a little awkward. How about
    • This one is great, but I'm kind of thinking the same thing as ALT1 – maybe we can come up with a hook that is centered on her literary work (rather than her transition)? Bridget (talk) 21:56, 30 April 2024 (UTC) (edited 23:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC))[reply]

    Interesting life and work, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I approve the hook, and it goes well with the current trend for short "hooky" wording. I wonder, however, if - since her name doesn't give much clue to where she comes from - some hint at place and/or time might add interest. I found interesting, for example, that she took pics in both world wars. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    How about including her photo, which - with a year in the caption - would add some time? It would illustrate the hook perfectly although it is not strictly she who is pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:16, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

    @Voorts and TSventon: I cannot confirm in any sources that this was the first known skeleton. Maybe first "complete" can be investigated if sources support? I do see a source for "Peale eventually founded the first natural history museum in the United States". But I do not know about the reliability of the source (czasopisma) - that can be investigated for a hook idea, or you can introduce a different hook. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Voorts and Bruxton: I was trying to put the hook in my own words and overdid the paraphrasing. When Semonin says the skeleton was complete I think he meant almost complete so I have reworded the article and the hook. Peale's museum as "the first natural history museum in the United States" is arguable, but would need more work. This argued it was not.

    TSventon (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you. It is difficult to find the hook because it is not explicit in the article. I did find the two parts to the hook in The Peale Mastodon section so ALT1 works. Bruxton (talk) 14:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The hook is explicit but unreferenced in the lead, I could add a reference to the Smithsonian article there if that made things clearer. In the body one of the sentences was not immediately followed by a reference, so I fixed that.
    By the way, on the first museum, I have seen things like the first successful public museum of natural history, but that would need to be discussed in the article and is not particularly hooky. TSventon (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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