Instructions for nominators[edit]
This page is for those nominations that have already been approved and are waiting to be promoted. If yours has been approved but has not yet been run on the main page, it should either be on this page or will soon be moved here, or already promoted to a Prep area or Queue ahead of an appearance on the main page.
If you wish to create a new nomination, please go to the Template talk:Did you know page; there are instructions there in a section similar to this one on how to nominate an article for DYK.
Frequently asked questions[edit]
Backlogged?[edit]
This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until someone promotes it to a preparation area. To alleviate this problem, if the approved page has more than 120 approved hooks, then sets will change twice per day (every 12 hours) instead of once per day (every 24 hours). When the backlog falls below 60 approved nominations set frequency returns to once a day.
Where is my hook?[edit]
If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.
If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the DYK discussion page, but as a general rule such nominations will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.
Instructions for other editors[edit]
How to promote an accepted hook[edit]
- See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
- In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
- In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
- In the prep set...
- Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
- Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
- Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
- Back on DYK nomination page...
- change
{{DYKsubpage
to{{subst:DYKsubpage
- change
|passed=
to|passed=yes
- Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save
- change
How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue[edit]
- Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
- Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there should have been a link to it in the credits section).
- View the edit history for that page
- Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
- Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
- Add a transclusion of the template back to the nominations page so that reviewers can see it. It goes under the date that it was first created/expanded/listed as a GA. You may need to add back the day header for that date if it had been removed from the nominations page.
- If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.

that this year's inductees to the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame include someone with Down syndrome who can lift up to 425 pounds (193 kg) (pictured, left), an "average gymnast" turned one of the world's best gymnastics judges, Delaware's "preeminent sportswriter", the state's "greatest high hurdler", the man who "practically invented the modern sports mascot", a record-setting 10-year-old, a U.S. champion gymnast, an Olympic field hockey player, and a professional baseball player in five countries?Source: see all the respective articles- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Grave with the Hands; Template:Did you know nominations/National Women's Basketball Association; Template:Did you know nominations/Iona Allen; Template:Did you know nominations/Drew Golz (2/3); Template:Did you know nominations/New England Revolution in international competition; Template:Did you know nominations/Ukraina, North Dakota (2/2); Template:Did you know nominations/List of presidents of Centre College; Template:Did you know nominations/Chesterfield Market
- Comment: Trying my craziest DYK nomination ever! Have been working on all the inductees for this year, only just realized that it'd probably be an awesome mega-hook (there has been precedent for similar things in the past; see Wikipedia:Did you know/Multiple Article Hook Hall of Fame).
Note that two do not yet qualify (Van Sickle, Brumbaugh - why I haven't bolded yet), as I still need to 5x expand them, but I needed to make the nomination now so the oldest one (Raymond) would still be eligible.I also have a date request if this goes through: the hall of fame is inducting the mentioned sportspeople on May 23 this year. I think it would be really neat if this could be scheduled for then. Thanks!
Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 152 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:56, 21 March 2024 (UTC).

- Thanks for offering to review – just note that
Van Sickle andBrumbaugh are not yet ready – I'll make sure to 5x them within the next three days (nominated now so as to not exhaust 7-day eligibility of Raymond). BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)- Gotcha. Well done.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- 5x expanded Caitlin Van Sickle (calculated it needed to be 7,725+ – currently ~8,200). Just Brumbaugh left to do. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:42, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Expanding Brumbaugh is taking longer than I thought, but I'm almost certain I can have it done by the end of tomorrow. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Was able to finish Brumbaugh tonight. Needed to be 10,725, now is at ~13,000 bytes. @TonyTheTiger: All the articles are ready for review now. (Still have to do the QPQs, of course). Also, tell me your thoughts of the date request I mentioned? Thanks! BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

- The date request window is 6 weeks, I believe. So you can only request dates within 6 weeks of the date that you nominate a hook. You can read further about special occaision requests at WP:DYKSO.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Crap! I was never aware of that! And just two weeks off. Is it possible to IAR, something? One of the main reasons I nominated this was in hope that it could be set for that date... BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:06, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

exceptions to the six-week limit can be implemented by way of a local consensus at WT:DYK.

- All articles are well-cited.
- All articles are generally neutral.
- A few articles need better paraphrasing. Some elements of the hook need to be more concise. I have also made some cleanup suggestions surrounding infobox improvement possibilities.
- QPQs pending.

- First, the image file is properly PD.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:48, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'll leave it to the promoter to decide between the various tweaks. I would prefer the shortest just because of the overall length of the hook, but the promoter is free to make the final choice. I remain intrigued and await further detail on Cannon as time permits. Nothing is necessary now though, but keep in mind when this goes on the main page, it may be the most pageviews that any of these pages ever receives. You may want to put everything you can into it before the main page run to get feedback from all those eyeballs. Everything is in order for a DYK run. -TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:57, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Great. Thanks for the reviews. I'm going to open a discussion about getting this featured on the requested date, as mentioned at the DYK guidelines. So to anyone looking at this: don't promote yet! BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:28, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

- Not a review, and I do my QPQs oldest first so I wouldn't get to this any time soon; you should consider integrating where Miko and Feid are from into the hook for interest purposes. Los Angeles is pretty big, it's not unusual for two people to meet there.--Launchballer 21:34, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for at least suggesting something, I'm a little nervous. I have already incorporated the suggested information; If another source is required, I will put it in, but at the moment I won't because DYKs usually only have one. I don't know if it's appropriate, but I hope you can move forward and get the help you need to find the healing you so desperately seek. I wish you success in everything you do, because I see that you are very good. Santi (talk) 21:17, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

... that the Puerto Rican singer Young Miko featured the Colombian singer Feid on her single "Classy 101" after a chance meeting in Los Angeles?--Launchballer 16:22, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

- OK. I have no more suggestions. So, I'll wait for another review (the template you used points that out) to improve. Anyway, thanks for reviewing and clarifying the process. Santi (talk) 18:51, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- This is the oldest fully unreviewed nom and I need a QPQ, so I'm reviewing. Long enough, new enough. No neutrality issues found, no maintenance templates found, Earwig's nice and quiet. I should note for posterity that WP:UPSD whinges about refs #2 and #15 and that WP:RSP says WP:ROLLINGSTONE is generally reliable for culture matters. I proposed ALT1, so new reviewer needed to check it.--Launchballer 19:21, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: Thanks for review. Don't worry so much about what the bot tells you. Sometimes it makes mistakes, as does the Copyvios plagiarism detector (look what happened in the GA review of You're Losing Me). The context matters more than certain literal rules.

- @Pollosito: Congratulations on the GA - impressive for an editor with only 784 edits. I have a few issues we need to sort out but first, please use edit summaries (see H:FIES). It looks like you use them occasionally but even when you do many are not descriptive. A review of this nomination, Earwig does not alert to copyright issues. The article is not overly promotional and the prose is readable and neutral. I added "image has rationale=yes" to your album cover upload. Is this correct? Because I do not find this in the translated source, the process "came out supernatural". Note that supernatural has a different meaning than the intended when used as a compound word. Also "it was very easy to flow with him" - are these in the foreign language video which I see in citation 5 because I do not find them in the translated text of that citation. For @Launchballer:'s ALT we need to establish that this was a chance meeting because in our article we only state that she had no contact with him prior to the collaboration. But this hook also relates the the above concern: the hook is not supported by the end of sentence hook citation in our article as citation 5 does not state these things. Bruxton (talk) 15:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Bruxton: Do I really need to describe every edit I make? I find that very tiring in itself, but it's okay. All information in ref 5 is based solely on the video, never from the translated text. So I put sic? Regarding what you said to Launchballer, I think common sense should be used more, because, if we put it as the article says, surely the hook will exceed the number of characters allowed. Santi (talk) 16:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Pollosito: If you are questioning the edit summary note, it is not my requirement but I referred you to the guide H:FIES. I pulled out the relevant passage in case you did not know how to access it:
but that is unrelated to this nomination. I examined and tried to verify the hook: according to our article I think you may have made assumptions about a "chance meeting". We cannot assume especially for a main page appearance. Additionally at present struggling with why you put this in your comments above:According to the consensus policy, all edits should be explained (unless the reason for them is obvious)—either by clear edit summaries, or by discussion on the associated talk page.
I don't know if it's appropriate, but I hope you can move forward and get the help you need to find the healing you so desperately seek. I wish you success in everything you do, because I see that you are very good.
What is that about? Launchballer made no reference to struggling of seeking help. Bruxton (talk) 17:49, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- @Bruxton: I'm sorry if I committed any serious offense with that comment. I simply looked at the user's talk page and felt it was appropriate to try to give him comfort. Regarding the hook, let me examine it one more time because then I have no more ideas, I'm sorry for how raw I am with DYK. Santi (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Pollosito: Change supernatural to "super-natural" and either modify the hook so that it matches our article and the source or present a new one. WP:DYKHOOK
Bruxton (talk) 19:29, 4 May 2024 (UTC)...citations in the article that are used to support the hook fact must verify the hook and be reliable. The wording of the article, hook, and source should all agree with each other with respect to who is providing the information – if the source is not willing to the say the fact in its own voice, the hook should attribute back to the original source as well.

ALT2:that the Puerto Rican singer Young Miko initially composed "Classy 101" in Los Angeles and met the Colombian singer Feid there, having not composed for him nor having had there been any contact with him before?
I hope that's correct. If not, I have information about the entry to the Billboard Hot 100, but I guess it is much less relevant. Santi (talk) 16:36, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Overall: The nominated article has one paragraph without a citation. The uncited paragraph could be supported in part by pages 11 and 121 of Mount Rushmore by Gilbert C. Fite, it talks about the Hot Springs Star's editorial stance. https://archive.org/details/mountrushmore00univ/page/121 I also suggest that an alternate wording like "that early environmentalists like Cora Babbitt Johnson almost prevented..." rather than the current wording.

- @Borg Axoim, @Crunchydillpickle and @MtBotany Where does the wiki article state that the carving of Mount Rushmore was "almost prevented?" Unless there's genuine evidence from the cited source that the project was almost going to be shut down (if so, that should be added in), letters of opposition, protests, and halts do not equal "preventions." This needs to be addressed first before promotion. PrimalMustelid (talk) 19:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Overall: No need for a QPQ considering the amt of noms. Okay hook, but I concur with Launchballer above about truncating it. I found some issues with WP:CLOP and source-text integrity from a spotcheck of ~10% of the sources, but they aren't so egregious.
A solid GAN review tells me that great care was put into this article, but to be safe, I spotchecked ten sources (refer to this version for the ref numbers).
13, good; 25 doesn't say the studies occured in Germany and Israel; 38, no issues; 50, no mention of developed nations or wet bed combustion but will AGF the offline source cited beside it does---please confirm as well. 60 (not open access on my end? no issues otherwise though); 71, no issues; 85, no issues; 97, no issues; 108, no issues; 120 has close paraphrasing issues so please fix this.
A quick glance at the reflist suggests there are no blatantly unreliable RS, and the article was DYK-nommed at the right window of time. The prose is ok for a GA. Ran Earwig for copyvio issues but no extreme red flags. @InformationToKnowledge, please ping me once everything has been addressed. PSA 🏕️ (talk) 11:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC) 12:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Overall: DYK tool was reading earlier versions of the article and not showing 5k. WP:5X clearly specifies the last version of the page before expansion, which occurred a week after the removal of the WP:BLP-violating material, so I think we're good on that front. The article cites ellesse-en for some of the hook, but you have The Face here (which also supports it). Personally, I feel like The Face may be more reliable than a commercial clothing store that featured her as a model. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:23, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- A few more referencing comments: Could not get a DOB on her Instagram post (WP:ABOUTSELF allows this, but I'm only seeing 'late 20s' at the source); the Danny Lomas podcast could benefit from {{cite podcast}} (the minutes, for example; one shouldn't need to review a 57 minute podcast); Bristol Post reference is underformatted; not sure about the reliability of Planet Woo. These aren't part of the DYK nom per se; please think of them as pre-GAR comments. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Replaced the Ellesse-en source with The Face. If you scroll down on Instagram you should see her comment "gentle reminder my birthday is this saturday". The podcast should have a button saying "Transcript", which is what I used. Planet Woo is a media brand belonging to ITV, although I've just read on a press release that "the team behind VICE, i-D, Boiler Room and LADbible" founded it and WP:VICE has them in yellow. I'm not using it for anything controversial though, just an interview and attributed opinion.--Launchballer 08:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

- The fact does sound interesting, but unfortunately, according to Fletcher M. Green in "Duff Green, Militant Journalist of the Old School," Duff Green "denied that he was armed or that he gouged Sparhawk's eyes," and it doesn't help that it was Sparhawk who made the original charge. There's not much of a way to prove that this for sure happened, so a different hook might need to be picked unless I can for sure confirm that this truly happened.

As the race advanced through Framingham and Natick, Hughson had built up a lead but was still closely tailed by Caffrey. 45 minutes in, Hughson passed the Natick town hall about 100 yards (91 m) ahead of Caffrey. McDonald at this point was 75 yards (69 m) behind Caffrey, and Sammy Mellor and Davis were running in fourth and fifth 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) behind McDonald.

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

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

- Interesting bio on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I like the original hook and approve that one. It clearly says that Spider is a Black woman musician, which I miss in all ALTS, and actually also in the lead of the article; I think that her Nigerian background should be mentioned there. My English is not good enough to tell a difference between "on the grounds" and a simple "because", but I know that the former phrase appears in the article in two sentences in a row, which I believe should be avoided. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Both done.--Launchballer 17:19, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Launchballer, it seems to me that the article is incorrect in attributing her resumption of production during COVID to feeling there were not enough Black women in the industry; the source says that she had this feeling in school, before moving to London. This goes for other sources like this one as well, where her "[disappointment at] the seeming lack of diversity" is described as being around 2016.
Gerda Arendt, considering the problem with ALT0, are any of the other hooks approved?~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)- Actually, scratch some of that, the hook doesn't have a problem because it doesn't state a date and can probably rely on the lengthy quote for WP:DYKCITE (although that seems fairly lengthy from a copyright perspective), so no need for the alt hooks to be considered. Sorry for the ping Gerda. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:18, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- Not a review, and I review oldest first so would not get to this any time soon (but would not object to any other reviewer doing so in the interim); both hooks violate WP:NPOV and have been struck. I've also removed one sentence that also violated WP:NPOV, so this is now below 1500 characters.--Launchballer 20:17, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Given that it is midnight for me (in the UK), I will expand this article and think of a compliant hook ~10 hours from now after my sleep. I may even have to think about a hook that doesn't have something to do with the lo-fi music. JuniperChill (talk) 22:59, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done the expansion to at least 1500 characters (can also be 1.5kb), now I am thinking of the following hooks.
- ALT2: that Mohammad Fahmi, the main creator of Coffee Talk died in March 2022, after the sequel was announced?
- ALT3: that Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly was released after Mohammad Fahmi, the main creator of Coffee Talk, died in March 2022?
For both, the sources came from https://www.eurogamer.net/coffee-talk-creator-fahmi-has-passed-away
- No, it can't "also be 1.5kb" - WP:DYKRULES specifies "1500 characters". ALT3 is the better hook, although I'd expect a more merciless prepbuilder to truncate it at "died". Full review needed.--Launchballer 10:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Just long enough, well refed, everything else GTG. Strongly suggest cutting ALT3 for reading clarity:
- ALT3a: that Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly was released after its creator Mohammad Fahmi died in March 2022? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maury Markowitz (talk • contribs) 15:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- While that is clearer, it makes it look like Fahmi created only Episode 2, so I am making a slight adjustment of ALT3a below, removing the names so that it is clear that it is talking about the main creator of Coffee Talk (video game) and not the second.
- ALT3b: that Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly was released after its main creator of Coffee Talk died in March 2022?

However, I struggle a bit with the part on him being "a critic of the spoils system". I think you rely here on Smith 1981 (pp. 82–83). I see that he criticized particulars of the spoils system there. But whether this elevates him to an outright critic of the system I am unsure. Maybe a weaker statement like "[...] who had criticized the political patronage system earlier [...]" would be more reflective of the source? What do you think?

Interesting song GA on many and substantial sources, no copyvio obvious. I wonder if "expresses" would be a better word than "describes". The licensed image is beautiful when large, but not captivating in stamp size.

My only potential concern is that the hook doesn't explicitly state that it was struck down in court, but I think that can probably be inferred as is. Pac-Man PHD (talk) 08:27, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Though Earwig found likely copyvio, it's basing that off of a direct quote from the contents of the proposal, an open and free document that is properly attributed to, so it shouldn't be a violation. I think this is all in order. Still, felt it should be mentioned in case the author wants to paraphrase the contents of the proposal or if an administrator takes issue with it.

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?

- "Kirchick cites the different government reactions as a reason why during the 1980s the rate of HIV infection in the Great Britain was just 10 percent of that in the United States" This sentence may still need work. I can't see the full context or what source he cites, but I looked it up and ran the numbers for 1989, at which point the number of infections was 20 times larger in the US which also has 6x greater population. That does point to a substantial difference but doesn't support Kirchick's argument. I would prefer to cite epidemiologists for claims about the causes of different prevalence rates.
- Stand-alone "defense" and "criticism" is typically integrated into one reception section, maybe put the defense last since the criticism section sums up the overall view.
- "In 2015, following the release of the short film When AIDS Was Funny, renewed criticism from progressive media ..." I don't see where the sources discuss progressive media. If they are being cited as examples of progressive media, this paragraph likely falls foul of WP:NOR (and UNDUE).
- "However, it is controversial whether Reagan himself could be considered homophobic, or if his personal views on homosexuality affected his AIDS response." part 1 is a false dichotomy, part 2 is unprovable (and I'm not seeing anywhere the opposite argument is made). The ultimate controversy/criticism is not about what Reagan believed but what he did, the article should reflect the bulk of the legacy section.
- "Timeline of the Reagan administration's AIDS response" If you keep this section everything needs an inline citation. (t · c) buidhe 17:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

The content of the hook is referenced in the article and a citation is appended immediately after where it appears.

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)
- Thanks David. What if the sentence in the Town section said "Before the clearance, it was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver"? That would would be consistent with the Maverick Guide guide source and not change up the current before-during-after structure. I could also change the sentence in the Clearance section to say "completely deserted by 1818" to avoid any ambiguity.
- I think "deserted" is, from a NPOV, the end result of what happened, it describes what's left. You could say "forcibly depopulated" or something but I think "deserted" is clear enough and used in the sources. -- D'n'B-t -- 18:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- To me, "deserted" is an accurate and neutral description of the state of the place now, but not of the process by which it reached that state. How about
- 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)

Article is new enough. It's long enough even after removing the large blocks of quoted text. Earwig did flag copyright violation, but this was due to the large blocks of quoted text which have been properly attributed and are within policy. No close paraphrasing or copyright found, and the article appears to be within policy in all other measures. Hook fact and length both check out for the original and Alt1 hooks.

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)

Overall: I don't see anything in the guidelines about QPQs needing to be done recently, but this one was done in 2021 and hasn't been used as a QPQ by the nominator before. If that's okay, then this nom is good to go. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Voorts, thank you for the review, I tried to do a few QPQs before I needed them and they have got rather old. Fortunately WP:QPQ says QPQs do not expire and may be used at any time for a future DYK nomination. TSventon (talk) 00:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Voorts and TSventon: I cannot confirm in any sources that this was the first known skeleton. Maybe first "complete" can be investigated if sources support? I do see a source for "Peale eventually founded the first natural history museum in the United States". But I do not know about the reliability of the source (czasopisma) - that can be investigated for a hook idea, or you can introduce a different hook. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
@Voorts and Bruxton: I was trying to put the hook in my own words and overdid the paraphrasing. When Semonin says the skeleton was complete I think he meant almost complete so I have reworded the article and the hook. Peale's museum as "the first natural history museum in the United States" is arguable, but would need more work. This argued it was not.

TSventon (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
- The hook is explicit but unreferenced in the lead, I could add a reference to the Smithsonian article there if that made things clearer. In the body one of the sentences was not immediately followed by a reference, so I fixed that.
- By the way, on the first museum, I have seen things like the first successful public museum of natural history, but that would need to be discussed in the article and is not particularly hooky. TSventon (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

- The article was moved to mainspace yesterday, so is new enough. It is far more than long enough and properly uses in-line citations (perhaps even more so than necessary for some sentences). The copyvio detector doesn't find anything other than names of things and quotes that are properly used in the article. The hook is short enough, interesting, and is cited inline.

- Looks to be easily verifiable, but "relatively complete" should be mentioned somewhere in the wiki article. While I would prefer the article be organized into sections, I don't think that's a requirement for DYK. Just resolve the "citation needed" issues first before I approve it. And yes, I do see the comment. PrimalMustelid (talk) 12:39, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Toadspike I would suggest that the first sentence should mention Yunxian Man, otherwise the article may fail the presentability test. I notice that the article was moved this morning, so it may be a work in progress. TSventon (talk) 15:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
