This page holds approved nominations that are waiting to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page. Following DYK approval, nominations are processed and moved into a Prep area, and from there, prep sets are promoted to a queue, and then to the main page.

To create a new nomination or to see those that are yet to be approved, see Template talk:Did you know. For the discussion page see WT:DYK. Click on the link to go directly to the Special occasion holding area.

  If some of the nominations are not showing up properly at the bottom of the page, these alternative pages can be used to view a subset of the most recent nominations.

Instructions for nominators

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

Backlogged?

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?

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

How to promote an accepted hook

  • 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

How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue

  • 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.

Nominations

Special occasion holding area

Shortcut
Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section on the regular nominations page, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began, or it was listed as a Good Article; be sure to indicate in the nomination any request for a specially timed appearance on the main page.
Note: Articles intended to be held for special occasion dates should be nominated within seven days of creation, start of expansion, or promotion to Good Article status. The nomination should be made between at least one week prior to the occasion date, to allow time for reviews and promotions through the prep and queue sets, but not more than six weeks in advance. The proposed occasion must be deemed sufficiently special by reviewers. The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. Discussion clarifying the hold criteria can be found here: [1]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [2].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
Note for promoters: please be sure to add an "invisible" comment after a hook when you've placed it in prep, noting that it's a special occasion hook and including the date it is supposed to run. This should keep the hook from being moved after promotion, as sometimes happens to hooks when a queue needs a slot filled or a prep set needs to be made more balanced by swapping hooks between preps.

hinnk (talk) 07:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • Hi hinnk, review follows: article created 2 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject; that it was Dukakis's first film is mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; that it was an avant-garde film is mentioned in the article but not explicitly cited, I am happy with this given the sources used ("Home Movies of the Avant-Garde" "...The American Avant-Garde"); I don't have access to the offline sources but found no issues with overly close paraphrasing from the online sources. Just awaiting a QPQ and I think this will be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 08:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/Lady Tacos de Canasta. Agree that it's unlikely anyone would suggest Twice a Man isn't an experimental film, but to be on the safe side, Sitney's Visionary Film: The American Avant-Garde, 1943–2000 does explicitly make that connection (it's the last sentence in the Themes section). hinnk (talk) 19:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – I have also expanded the article 2022 European Athletics Championships – Women's 400 metres hurdles five times, so maybe it could be included in an alternative hook, but I haven't figured out how to do this or what that hook should be. – Editør (talk) 23:27, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, if you can come up with a hook that covers both topics, we can simply add this. I can do the mechanics for you, just give me a ping. However, I struggle to think of a good hook for such a double-nomination. If you can't think of something suitable, simply nominate this as a separate listing. Also, please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Olympic hooks table for your info. Schwede66 04:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for offering your help. I was also struggling with the hook, the ones I can think of lose focus, so I will just leave it like this. The first round heats of the women's 400 m hurdles at the 2024 Summer Olympics are on 5 August, according to this schedule, so maybe this hook could be added on that day? – Editør (talk) 08:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Schwede66: I have nominated the second article for another DYK, you could also use that one for the Olympic theme, let me know if you require me to do anything for this. – Editør (talk) 11:11, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've uploaded a cropped version and replaced the original image. Schwede66 04:31, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ok, I shall review this. Schwede66 21:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a new GA, nominated the day it passed. Plenty long enough. Everything is sourced. The article is neutral and Earwig didn't bring up anything. The hook is interesting and referenced. The image license is fine and whilst not the highest resolution, the photo would be fine on the main page. QPQ has been done. The one suggestion for potential improvement that I can offer, and I note that this won't hold up the DYK, is that I wouldn't start this sentence with a time as, in my view, it violates (at least in spirit) MOS:NUMNOTES: 1.74 seconds after Bol, Louise Maraval of France finished second in 54.23 seconds.... Instead, you could consider: Louise Maraval of France finished second in 54.23 seconds, 1.74 seconds after Bol.... Good work! Schwede66 22:29, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your review. I've changed the sentence to "Louise Maraval of France finished in second place 1.74 seconds after Bol, setting a new personal best (PB) of 54.23 seconds, ...". – Editør (talk) 11:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

René Heyde

  • Source: Contemporary reporting in The Press: "The outcome of those trials — and even though Heyde crashed — was that four “certainties” and himself were named to compete finally at Wanganui. As five were to be nominated for Munich, it seemed certain Heyde would go on that trip. But as it happened, and because Heyde had crashed, N. R. Lyster was asked at the last minute to attend the Wanganui trials. Without riding, he was given the fifth place ahead of Heyde."

  • Comment – I will review this nomination. – Editør (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Review – The article is new enough (created/moved to mainspace on 14 June 2024), long enough (1600+ characters of prose), has no copyright issues (using Earwig tool and two spot checks), and is presentable (based on a readthrough). The hook is cited, but from the source, I cannot make out whether this Golden Gloves was a single-day tournament that was held on her birthday or that it was a multiple-day tournament and that she merely won a single fight on her birthday. If it is the former, the hook is interesting enough, but if it is the latter, the hook is not interesting enough in my opinion. Could this be clarified with a source or can you suggest an alternative hook? The QPQ is not yet done. – Editør (talk) 11:55, 23 June 2024‎ (UTC)[reply]
    @BeanieFan11: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @BeanieFan11: The QPQ is now done, but the other issue is still open. – Editør (talk) 12:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, I guess I did the QPQ but forgot to respond. @Editør: It seems to have been a multi-day tournament, but I can't tell if she won the tournament on her birthday or just a match. An ALT would be: ALT1 ... that Alyssa Mendoza won a Golden Gloves fight on her birthday? If you don't think that's interesting enough, I could try to develop a different hook. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for clarifying. It looks like the DYK could be featured during the Olympics, so perhaps a hook about her Olympic qualification? There is already something about that in the article. – Editør (talk) 16:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Editør: The best I could think of would be: ALT2 ... that Alyssa Mendoza is Idaho's first Olympic boxer? Idaho Press Does that work? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that hook is supported by this source. Maybe change it into ALT3 instead? – Editør (talk) 16:37, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ALT3 ... that Alyssa Mendoza was the first sportsperson from Idaho who qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics?
    The article should probably be changed accordingly. – Editør (talk) 16:38, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict) I kind of like ALT2 better (but could live with ALT3 being promoted if ALT2 doesn't work) – the source does seem to support it: Mendoza, who attended Middleton High, is set to become the first Olympic boxer from the Gem State. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:40, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The source is geoblocked from my location. I visited the page via a proxy, but it contained only two full sentences and not your green quote. But if that's in there ALT2 is alright with me.

  • Hi BeanieFan11, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 11 June and exceeds minimum length; article is generally well written (I couldn't parse "was named first-team All-State, All-Metro and to the Lincoln Journal Star's Super-State Team" but might just be my ignorance of basketball?); sources cited look to be reliable enough, though I am not familiar with them; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing from a spot check; hook fact is interesting enough for me, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited.

I'll leave it to the promoter's discretion, as both hooks essentially say the same thing. French-language sources were checked for close paraphrasing; no issues arose. Waiting on the QPQ.

  • The article is newly created and is sourced properly along with the hook. No copyright violations but I do wonder if it's possible (if source exists), to add information on how he got the gunshot wound. Regardless, I think the article is overall good to go. But waiting for QPQ and then once that's done, the hook should be ready go. - Toadboy123 (talk) 14:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Toadboy123: QPQ done. As for how he was shot, all the source says is: Alasan Ann was hanging out with friends in Minneapolis when he heard gunshots and screams. Scared for his life, his first instinct was to run, as fast as he could. “Not now, not ever,” the 23-year-old athlete thought to himself. “[We] started running to our car. And while we were running, I got hit in my leg, but I didn’t stop,” he told Olympics.com, his voice trailing off. Is there anything you think I should add from that?

  • Cited: Yes

Overall: As noted above, the lede should be beefed up before this hits the main page. Also, given the recent RFC, I'm not sure focusing on the negative aspects of this BLP (i.e., the goat head protest), is going to fly on the main page. It's a very interesting fact, and supported by Liputan6, but something else may work better in the current climate.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:16, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: Alright then, change of hook. ALT4: "... that the regent of Bekasi, Saleh Manaf, was protested by his own local environment service?" quote from: this one, ref no. 14 Beberapa waktu yang lalu, Dinas Kebersihan Kabupaten Bekasi sebenarnya sudah mengirimkan surat protes kepada Bupati Bekasi, meminta pertanggung-jawaban bupati terhadap dampak lingkungan dan akibat sampah yang dibuang truk pengangkut sampah.

  • Hiya. The article was new enough at time of nomination (DYK nomination on 24 May, having been moved to the mainspace on the same day, and has not appeared on the Main Page) and is long enough (1737 characters of readable prose and is not a stub). ALTs 0, 1, and 3 are interesting, sourced, and formatted properly, though I would have reduced some of the detail (such as the dates) to increase intrigue. It is up to you if you want to retain the current level of detail (the character lengths are currently 154, 180, and 198 respectively, which are within policy but are pushing its boundaries). I am not approving ALT2: "one of a kind" is too broad and implies that there is something unique about the event, not that it occurred as a one-off.
    As the listed quid pro quo was used in a previous nomination, I believe that a new one is needed – my interpretation of you must complete a full review of one other nomination (unrelated to you) for every subsequent article you nominate‍ ... A review does not need to be successful to count as a QPQ is that they cannot be reused even if the nomination is unsuccessful (maybe seek clarification at WT:DYK). Please also note that full reviews are needed to count as QPQs.
    With regards to core content policies such as copyright, neutrality, and BLP, I did not detect any violations (there is some close paraphrasing, such as the first sentence of the second paragraph of "Background", but there is a limited number of ways to say the same thing). However, there are some verifiability issues with the article:
    • I think that the basis for initiated by the Obama administration in that White House source is a little shaky; while it is probably true, it doesn't seem to be explicitly supported.
    • Is there a better source than that Forbes profile for Futurism helping to organise?
    • More than 20,000 attendees were invited in the article ≠ More than 20,000 were nominated in the source.
    • General comment about the article (expressly not a DYK issue, more a bugbear): I don't really understand the citation structure – the frequency is very dense when it doesn't need to be (eg technology and music[1] festival[2], one-day event[7] hosted on the White House South Lawn[8], and climate[12] documentary Before the Flood.[13]). You're free to ignore this comment if you wish.
    • Another general comment: if you want, there are some nice public-domain photos here that you can add.
  • As DYK eligibility requires additional work, I am marking the nomination with . Please address these issues before I can approve this nomination. Sdrqaz (talk) 04:04, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Sdrqaz: I never got a notification on my talk page from the usual bot about there being a problem here. Weird. The sub-heading of this White House page says that it is "A White House Festival of Ideas, Art, and Action". Does that help any? The Forbes entry is staff written, as are the Forbes 30 Under 30 picks, therefore falling under WP:FORBES rather than WP:FORBESCON. They're not explicitly mentioned in this staff article but if you follow the "media" link for that category of the 2017 30U30 present in the article, the profile is half way down the linked page. I don't think that that source should be a problem there. I have adjusted the 20,000 attendees line. Thanks for the link on public domain pics! I will go through those when I have some more time and add a few. --TheSandDoctor Talk 15:55, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @TheSandDoctor: I don't think that there is a bot that notifies you if there are issues – it is up to the reviewer to leave such notices if they wish. I'll ping you to comments I make here instead, if that's okay. I did see that for the Obama administration issue; maybe I'm being too picky, so I'll leave it. I'll give you some time to find a full QPQ (see my comments at the start) or find clarification at WT:QPQ WT:DYK if you disagree. Would also like to hear your thoughts on the hooks. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:38, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sdrqaz: Swapped out to Template:Did you know nominations/Wan Abubakar. My mistake re the bot -- I thought that there was one but clearly I'm mistaken. Pings are just fine! For ALT0 would that the South by South Lawn festival was modelled after and "organized together with" the South by Southwest festival? work? Would you suggest any detail reduction for ALT1? Curious what you had in mind for shortening ALT3; I think it is interesting enough as is but I feel creating a sense of intrigue could be improved, just not sure how. (Silly me thought I'd saved this comment last night but apparently not...) --TheSandDoctor Talk 14:53, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @TheSandDoctor: That is an improved ALT0, in my opinion . Take what I say with a grain of salt as hook-writing is not a precise science, but I would advise thinking about the purpose behind every included detail. As the author, it depends on what you want to highlight about the article. I would caution against writing hooks like sentences in normal articles: too much detail may not leave the reader wanting to know more.
    Part of the appeal for ALT1 as written is to attract readers who have heard of Adam Savage or MythBusters. However, there's also the risk that people get distracted by the link and click on him instead to find out more. The team from Baltimore may be extraneous detail if you take a more ruthless approach. For ALT3, the same consideration applies: if you wish to highlight the climate change element of it or Katherine Hayhoe's work, then inclusion of her article is a respectable decision. However, as above, it may lead to distraction: as DiCaprio and Obama are much more well-known, then it may not be necessary to have detail about her. Other ways to make it shorter could simply be just removing "actor" or "Canadian" etc.
    I will emphasise that these are just things to think about and you are absolutely free to disregard them as I will be approving the nomination either way. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:55, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @TheSandDoctor and Sdrqaz: What is the status of this nomination? (For my money, ALT0 does not meet WP:DYKINT, ALT1 could drop 'was programmed by Adam Savage and a team from Baltimore' per WP:DYKTRIM, and ALT3's also cruising for a pruning, probably at 'Obama'.)--Launchballer 09:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Mainly waiting for TheSandDoctor's thoughts on the hooks. I don't disagree with you regarding ALT1 and ALT3, Launchballer, but am willing to defer to TSD if the purpose is to bring readers in through highlighting different information (see 2nd paragraph of 23 June comment). Sdrqaz (talk) 01:40, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sdrqaz and Launchballer: I will get back to this and am not intending to abandon or drop the ball here, but I have had a lot going on in the real world since then that I would rather not get into and won't be available until next week (so a few more days) most likely. Sorry. Just leaving this quick comment to make my intentions clear. I haven't forgotten, I am just at capacity in other areas right now that are eating up my time "irl"... --TheSandDoctor Talk 13:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sdrqaz and Launchballer: My apologies for the delay. I cannot go into it here per se but it was unforeseeable circumstance wise. I would think that a good alt0 replacement would be "that the South by South Lawn festival was modelled after and "organized together with" the South by Southwest festival?", for alt1 I do think there is a strong appeal tying Adam Savage to it but he didn't do it alone so there is a valid point with just not including who did it at all. I concur that we can trim down to just Obama for ALT3. Thoughts? --TheSandDoctor Talk 04:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I still don't think ALT0 meets WP:DYKINT. It's not unusual for an event to be organised by multiple entities and even less unusual for it to be modelled after something. I haven't 'verified' either of the other hooks, but if you're asserting they're okay, then this can be ticked off. For pshaw, these are ALT1a: ... that the South by South Lawn festival sign was programmed to illuminate every time someone made a social media post with the hashtag #sxsl? and ALT3a: ... that the 2016 festival South by South Lawn included a panel discussion on climate change led by President Obama? (I do note that last month's most successful hook did not begin with 'that', so we could go with ALT1b: ... what the South by South Lawn festival sign did every time someone made a social media post with the hashtag #sxsl?)--Launchballer 07:32, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please see MOS:INDENTMIX. TheSandDoctor, I hope that things get better for you in the real world . Note for promoter: my hook recommendations for TSD were optional, and apart from ALT2, they are within policy. Therefore, while I personally prefer shorter hooks, I can still see the appeal of the other unstruck ones and they are all acceptable (ALT0a, ALT1, ALT1a, ALT1b, ALT3, ALT3a).

My one concern is the licensing of the image. Without the photographer's identity and thus death date, and without proof that it was first published prior to 1929, the claimed license is not valid. PD-old-assumed would be valid given that the image is >120 years old, but an appropriate US copyright tag would still be needed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:10, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Thank you for your comment. Here is the image that you requested as a second option.
    • Note: I always do my best to cooperate on DYK templates, whether as reviewer, creator or nominator. However I also claim the right to an opinion. In this case, you will see that I am doing my best to cooperate. However, in the (nearly) 20 years that I have been a WP contributor, I have never seen a 120-year-old UK photo refused at DYK on those grounds. This image was a carte de visite, as were most photographs in the UK in 1897. They were purchased in batches and used as visiting cards, and were left at the addresses of acquaintances and businesses in the way that we leave our contact details today. Unlike our contact details today, cartes de visite were expected to be shared around by those who received them, because privacy was not an issue in the way that it is today, and cartes de visite were used as a form of advertisement. If that is not a form of publication, I don't know what is. Storye book (talk) 09:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Storye book: If it's a carte de visite, then I would consider it to have been published. I do think the fireze might be more interesting as a DYK image, since there are a lot of portraits there, but either image is just fine. Great work! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:56, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Long enough. New enough. Inline citations throughout. AGF as the sources are not online. No copyright issues (5% to 8% similarity per Earwig). Both hooks are cited but I find ALT1 more interesting (as someone who grew up reading Burmese translations of the Condor Trilogy and many other wuxia novels and as a fan of Spaghetti Westerns.)

    • Hi Hybernator. The article has "[Oey Kim Tiang] used a variety of pseudonyms, with ... Boe Beng Tjoe ("the man with no name"), ... attested during this period. Footnote C adds "Oey An Siok also published several translations by himself, borrowing the pseudonym Boe Beng Tjoe".

    No worries. Full review needed.--Launchballer 08:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello user:Kimikel. I have made some minor adjustments to sections that were highlighted in the report you linked. However, there are several things that the Earwig tool highlights which are technical terms (e.g. "a primary standard cryogenic radiometer"; official names/proper nouns (e.g. "Cryogenic Solar Absolute Radiometer (CSAR)"; or direct quotes to either scientific descriptions (e.g. "constrain and improve retrieval algorithms") or important but non-encyclopedic-style phrases (e.g. "the heart of the calibration system"). Most importantly, there is a blockquote which describes the two primary objectives of the whole satellite - and because these sentences are scientifically specific, I didn't think it would be appropriate to paraphrase them or abridge them more than I already have. I note that User:CFA left a note on the article's talkpage two weeks ago that says "Note to future editors: Earwig scores high because of the large block quote in the Science section. There are no actual copyvios." I hope that is sufficient adjustment and explanation for this review process. Thank you.

    • The article is new enough and long enough. Sourcing is proper; everything is in German so generally AGF on the sources. QPQ is still pending. I did not find any close paraphrasing. Article was on ITN's Recent Deaths section so it remains eligible for DYK. The issue is the hook: it fails WP:DYKINT as it is reliant on specialist information that general audiences may not have (a reader who doesn't know that the Burgtheater is Austria's main theater might not get the importance, and why is Camille singled out?). It's also too complicated and has too many facts; ideally it should focus on only one primary fact. There's also the issue raised by 4meter4 in the past that these "actor stepping into roles" instances are not actually that interesting or unusual as that's what understudies tend to do. Given that WT:DYK is not a fan of these "people doing their job" hooks, here are some possible alternatives; I've struck the original hook due to the issues raised above.
    ALT1 ... that Gerhard Klingenberg took on his stage name due to a prohibition on students at his school taking up acting?
    ALT2 ... that during his tenure as the manager of Austria's Burgtheater from 1971 to 1976, Gerhard Klingenberg often directed plays with analogies to a divided Europe?

    ALT1 - in my humble opinion - is trivia which neglects his importance in the theatre world, and focuses on the Austrian bureaucracy. A you aware that this man recently died?
    ALT2 has it, but is very general in the second fact. Why not mention the precise play, which is unusual? Stepping in at 18 seems more interesting to me than the analogies, and more interesting than taking on a stage name.
    I hate to name a play in English that was played in German, but for our crowd's sake:
    ALT0a: ... that Gerhard Klingenberg (pictured), who stepped in at Vienna's Burgtheater at age 18 to play Camille in Büchner's Danton's Death, managed the theatre from 1971 to 1976? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The issue with ALT0 isn't whether or not the play's title is in German or English, but rather the nature of the hook itself. Multiple editors within the DYK community have objected to these "performer plays role" hooks as they're basically about these people doing their job, which isn't what DYK is looking for. ALT0/ALT0a, as mentioned earlier, also fails WP:DYKINT because, again, the hook is heavily reliant on specialist information or context and thus general readers won't get it. I have struck ALT0a as well for the same reasons. You need to propose a completely different angle here, or agree to ALT1/ALT2, because otherwise the nomination will be failed for lack of a suitable hook. To answer your question about Klingenberg's death, him dying recently does not change the issues with the proposal. Just because he died recently doesn't mean a hook about him should be exempt from DYKINT. Is there a problem if ALT1 is "trivia"? Because when you think about it, DYK hooks are supposed to be trivia: that's why they're called hooks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:09, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We will have to disagree. ALT1 boils down to "he took a stage name" which is trivial and nothing personal, no achievement. Better no DYK than that. I learned "only good about the dead", and I understand that it is "Did you know ...? interested in passing knowledge. I also claim that a play title such as "Dantons Death" is interesting, and that ALT0b is less interesting.
    ALT0b: ... that Gerhard Klingenberg (pictured), who stepped in at Vienna's Burgtheater at age 18, managed the theatre from 1971 to 1976? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:40, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There seems to be a fundamental disagreement about DYK's purpose because how DYK hooks are meant to be written, per DYKINT, is if they are interesting to a broad audience. That is, if they are likely to be perceived as interesting by non-specialist readers. Highlighting a person or subject's achievements or even claim to fame is at best a secondary reason but not a primary one and definitely not something that is explicitly or even implicitly suggested by the guidelines. The opposition to "trivia" here is surprising considering that, in practice, DYK is intended to promote "trivia". That's why there's so much emphasis on highlighting unusual or eye-catching facts, even if that isn't what the subject is best known for. There is a reason why DYK nominators and reviewers generally prefer hooks that go "DYK that Winston Churchill was an amateur bricklayer?" and not "DYK that Winston Churchill was a British Prime Minister?"
    In any case, ALT0c is rejected for the same reason as ALT0a and ALT0b: it is reliant on specialist knowledge and the average readership will not get why it is unusual or interesting ("why is it important that Klingenberg managed the Burgtheater for five years?", "how is his tenure significant or unusual in any way?", "what's the Burgtheater and why is it important?", "what does "step in at age 18 mean?", or "is stepping in at age 18 even unusual or interesting?") If you would prefer the nomination fail rather than agree to a hook that targets general readership then that's your prerogative but ALT0's hook fact by itself simply does not meet DYKINT and thus cannot be used. If you cannot propose a completely different angle from ALT0 and/or accept ALT1/ALT2, then the nomination will be marked for closure.

    Before having read your replay I asked an independent user t look into this. I have no time today, travelling. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:16, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    After reading AirshipJungleman29's talk page, maybe an alternate wording of ALT2 could work as well. At the very least I'm certain it will attract more attention to the article than any hook involving him stepping in for a role or any hook about any of his specific roles. Such an angle could work given that the context involved (history) is a lot more accessible than European theatre. If the goal is to promote Klingenberg and allow more readers to click on the article, this angle might do the trick:
    ALT3 ... that Gerhard Klingenberg, who decided to leave East Germany following the construction of the Berlin Wall, directed plays with analogies to a divided Europe?
    It does lose the mention of the Burgtheater but that is to prevent information overload and allow a direct focus on the main point; I could propose a slight revision that includes it if you wish. I really don't think the "stepped in" angle is going to withstand scrutiny given how WT:DYK has often raised complaints about role hooks. My main concern with this angle is the context of "analogies to a divided Europe"; the wording is rather vague if the plays themselves were the ones that had analogies, or he directed them in such a way that he incorporated said analogies, but I guess that can be worked out in the article itself. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for the offer, but the greater miracle in his career was that Brecht made this Austrian come to East Berlin, and on that background, the way back seems less dramatic, just a way home more or less, not - as the hook would make me believe - as an East German dissident. I am also not sure that he directed these plays, - he was great - as almost all obituaries say in other words - in attracting the most wanted European directors of the time to do the actual directing job. I see coming that you say that our readers don't know these directors, if you think that they don't know the most important drama house for the German language, and would not be willing to look it up.
    ALT4: ... that after a career as actor and director at Austrian theatres, Gerhard Klingenberg (pictured) followed Bertolt Brecht's invitation to work for his Berliner Ensemble in East Berlin? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:24, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The issue here again is always the reliance on specialist information. Most readers do not know who Brecht or the Berliner Ensemble are and thus would not have the required context to appreciate the hook. It's been repeated to you many many many times already, but what keeps happening is that you insist on hooks that primarily appeal to you and not to the general public. You are an expert in European classical music and theatre and most readers are not, so the goal is to appeal to the lowest-common denominator and target the widest audience, not the smallest. ALT3 is probably not the ideal option (I actually somewhat prefer ALT1 myself), but it would almost certainly get more attention than ALT4. I understand you deeply care about these people and their circumstances, but the way things are going, you are really just writing hooks for yourself and not for others, something that AirshipJungleman29 noted in your discussion with him. In any case, I have struck ALT4 for failing to meet WP:DYKINT as relying too much on knowledge or context that the vast majority of readers do not have. Again, I get your goal is to educate readers about these subjects, but again, that's the goal of the article, not the hook. The hook's goal is to attract readers to read the article, and then they will learn. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @AirshipJungleman29: Pinging again due to a typo. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:37, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well of coure ALT3 is more interesting. If Gerda really wants, she can post ALT3 and ALT4 at WT:DYK and ask which one is more interesting, but like with Anna Nekhames we all know how that will go, for probably the thirtieth time at this point. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:48, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have come in to bang heads together, as usual (that expression means making two children shake hands and make friends), and to support one of the hooks.
    Firstly, Narutolovehinata5 and Gerda Arendt: the DYK hook process, as you know, is primarily about truth, then about appropriateness as a hook, and then about compromise. Most of what you both say, here, is about a reluctance to compromise. Compromise takes two to tango. You are as bad as each other. Everyone has to compromise, not just the other guy.
    So I suggest ALT2, (with picture if promoter agrees) because (1) Narutolovehinata5 proposed it, and (2) Gerda Arendt accepted its truth, and did not totally dispute it. Also, to move this nom on, I offer one of my spare reviews: Jake Bates. Storye book (talk) 15:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Storye book, I understand your intentions and want to help Gerda as much as possible. However, you tend to comment on her nominations whenever they encounter issues and particularly after Gerda messages you (see for example her message inviting you to this nomination). This can give an impression, whether fairly or unfairly, of canvassing to other editors, especially when it is known around DYK circles that you are the editor closest and most sympathetic to Gerda. My suggestion would be that, to avoid concerns about canvassing, you avoid commenting on her nominations if Gerda specifically asked you to do so; however, it might be safer for you to do so out of your own volition, as in commenting on her noms independently of any ping or message. To Gerda, I would also suggest avoiding messaging Storye book specifically regarding your nominations, again to avoid concerns about canvassing. Asking for a second opinion from other editors is not inherently problematic, but when it's usually the same editor, and one known to be sympathetic towards you, that could give others the impression of canvassing, which we'd really want to avoid.
    In addition, the QPQ donation is appreciated, but I would advise refraining from doing so in the future except as a last resort. As Gerda is DYK's most prolific editor, she should be very much aware that DYK requires a QPQ within a week of the nomination and a message about it. She should be allowed to fulfill the request on her own, and donating QPQs whenever she forgets to do so could be seen as unfair to other nominators whose nominations get stuck or rejected due to a lack of QPQ. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:37, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please note that I said "just look" in my last message to Storye book. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:51, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The comment wasn't about just this nomination but rather the general pattern. Over the years it has been common for you to message Storye book in particular whenever other editors have concerns regarding your nominations and hooks. If it was just a one-time instance, it probably would have been okay, but it wasn't just a one-time thing, and it's a pattern that it's Storye book specifically that you message rather than messaging no editor in particular or even messaging a variety of editors. I understand both of you have good intentions and Gerda wants help from someone knowledgeable, but the focus on Storye book specifically can lead to the impression, whether fair or not, that canvassing is involved. This is especially considering Storye book tends to be more sympathetic towards Gerda's hooks and nominations compared to other DYK regulars.
    To be on the safe side, my suggestion for Gerda would be that, whenever you want a second opinion or help, you message multiple editors or at least a variety of them rather than just Storye book (the earlier ping to B was a good start, but B may not have been the best option given he is not a DYK regular and has been largely inactive lately). For Storye book, again my suggestion would be to avoid whenever possible commenting on a Gerda nom if she specifically asked you to do so; it might be safer to comment on them independently regardless of any pings or message if desired.

    We had an edit conflict, and I have no time to read your last comment, sorry. There's real life. - What I wrote:
    I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch. - Klingenberg, an article nominated for deletion after he died (!), found some interest already, and it was perhaps crazy of me to hope for a bit more interest via DYK. RD has a way of review (by multiple people, looking for referencing and facts) that works better for me. Today is Kafka's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:15, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Narutolovehinata5: Your above long and detailed comment is wholly inappropriate. As you have yourself acknowledged, I have not responded in this instance on Gerda's behalf. It was your ALT2 which I chose, and I recommended it as it stood, unaltered. So, how dare you ask me to get off Gerda's nominations? In no way have I on this occasion sided with her. It was quite clear that I asked you both, equally, to compromise. We are all here to move these nominations along. That is what I was trying to do, for the sake of WP, and that is what you should be doing, instead of attacking other people and pretending that people are ganging up on different sides. What on earth is wrong with ALT2? You wrote it. I have approved it. Why not accept it, and move on to another nom. Storye book (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Review – The article is new enough (promoted to GA on 20 June 2024), is long enough (8000+ characters of prose), has no copyright issues, and is presentable (both per Talk:Dorothy Dworkin/GA1). The hook is cited and interesting. Although the linked source is not available without an account, I was able to confirm the information by other sources [14] [15], so I don't see an issue here. The image is properly licensed, clear in a smaller size, and used in the article. I thought the most remarkable fact from the article are the thousands of people that she helped immigrate from Europe to Canada to escape the Holocaust, did you consider this for the hook? – Editør (talk) 16:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • I did, but I wasn't sure that 'helped' was strong enough for a good hook. (Her husband and brother-in-law also participated with the travel business, though she is usually singled out as the "rainmaker" who 'made things happen'). Anyways, I thought someone might have a problem with independent sources being a little weak on the specifics. Following is one I'd considered (using 'hundreds' for the 1930s, probably needs some rephrasing). – Reidgreg (talk) 23:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also completely understand the reluctance to lean on speculation here re. the mountain lion, but it is a very interesting aspect of this story. Potentially something along the lines of that an escaped donkey "living his best life" with an elk herd was reported to have killed a mountain lion? I think it's important to note why he's living his best life (i.e. with the elk herd); without that caveat I'm not sure how relevant the quote is to the hook.

    • Article was promoted to GA and nominated here within the relevant window. Article is long enough and has no copyvio concerns. Hook is sourced appropriately but I would recommend removing the inline attribution to The Independent. One reason is that the article is by a writer with The Independent (rather than an editorial by The Independent). Additionally, the claim that Red (Taylor's Version) spurred "Sad Girl Autumn" is not exclusive to Meredith Clark's article in The Independent. I would recommend altering it to read "that the Taylor Swift album Red (Taylor's Version) was credited with creating the 'Sad Girl Autumn' popular culture phenomenon?" Otherwise, outstanding work.

    • @Orchastrattor: Here's a couple excerpts from the text. It goes further into this in preceding and subsequent paragraphs:

      The colonial public was chilled by her [Wong Sau Ying's] exacting premeditation. The ‘bobbed-hair woman’ had arrived in Kuala Lumpur only that morning. Some reports said that she came from Canton; others that she was from Penang, and fluent in Malay. They were, above all, obsessed by the way she looked. [...]
      The year 1925 was when the ‘Modern Girl’ became a global phenomenon, and in this the women of Asia took the lead. [...] There were stories of ‘bobbed-hair riots’ as far away as Mexico City, of rival ‘anti-bobbed-hair leagues’ and ‘bobbed-hair defence leagues’. [...]
      The ‘Modern Girl’ was increasingly linked to a dangerous, disordered modernity; to nihilism and to anarchism. As one expatriate journal put it: ‘The now notorious “bobbed-haired” lady might just as well have turned up in Venezuela or Tibet for all the relation that her “mission” had to events in Malaya... Politics virtually do not exist in this country.’ The Straits Times brayed for a system of ‘identity tickets’ to indicate who was a loyal subject of His Majesty King George V and who was not. There were suddenly other sightings of ‘strange’ young women in Kuala Lumpur. [...]
      At the root of the case was her ‘new style’.

    Overall: @SeymourHolcomb: Hi Seymour, and welcome to Wikipedia and further to DYK! No need to be nervous, we're a pretty chill bunch. Offline sources are fine, as we assume good faith. Great job on inline sourcing. I fixed a minor typo in ALT2; all hooks are good (although I favor ALT0 or ALT1, as I believe they will appeal to the largest audience).

    One small thing: the infobox photo caption calls the church "Vision Church" but the prose calls it "Diamond Lake Church". A quick Google seems to favour calling it "Vision Church", so can this be changed in the body of the article?

    I really don't see any other issues with the article to get it ready for DYK, I just fixed a few minor things, so great job for your first go at it! – TCMemoire 15:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I changed the photo so the "Vision Church" disrepency won't be shown. The tense for "Diamond Lake Church" is ambiguous because I could not find concrete proof that Vision Church and Diamond Lake Church are the exact same, despite being Methodist churches on the exact same building. SeymourHolcomb (talk) 20:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I can confirm that yes, they are the same church, but without using synth (comparing the map on the "Our Gem" PDF and the location on Google Maps), but I am looking into a source to confirm the name change. SeymourHolcomb (talk) 19:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @SeymourHolcomb: Works for me. You're right, they probably are the same church, we just need someone to say it! Going to give this one the approval tick. I did also create a commons category for Diamond Lake, so all photos can nicely be consolidated there. – TCMemoire 09:11, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Overall: Source 1 doesn't seem to mention the facts in the hook, and the second source seems somewhat partisan and I'm somewhat suspicious of the quality of an article starting with "Did You Know". Does the academic source mentioned in the same paragraph in this article ([30]) mention it in any way? That would be much better. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 06:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      • @Flemmish Nietzsche: Sadly, the academic source doesn't back the claim up but it does back up the claim that an area in the Vatican was once a chariot racing track. Though I'm not sure what's Wikipedia's and the DYK's policy on "possibly statements" (i.e. ...that sport in Vatican City possibly started in the 1st century, when a chariot racing track was built in what was then ancient Rome?" I suggest using ALT1 instead if that's the case. Though I can make another hook if it isn't interesting enough. Arconning (talk) 06:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Arconning I checked that journal I suggested, fand you're right about it not being definite that the chariot track ever actually existed there. ALT1 is not the most interesting, but I could accept it if there's nothing else better you can find. How about "... that sport in Vatican City began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?" This might not be the "start" of sport in the area that is now the Vatican, but it seems to be the first major event when that area was under the control of an independent Papal State, so I think it would pass. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 07:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Flemmish Nietzsche For the hook that you suggested, I'm all for it but with some minor tweaks. Since we can't really determine when sport in Vatican City really started, I think we should put something like "governed by the nation", "started by the nation", or something shorter. (i.e. ... that sport in Vatican City started by the nation began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?"). Arconning (talk) 07:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Arconning "started by the nation" seems somewhat iffy, as it could be confused with "nation" meaning a group of people sharing a common identity rather than a sovereign state; maybe "state-sponsored" or "officially" would be better? (... that state-sponsored sport in Vatican City began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?")

    • ALT1: ... that the jewelers victimized in the theft from a Brink's truck two years ago today admit they undervalued their wares but argue the company should still pay them full value because it was negligent? Source: "So two months later, Brink’s sued them in a New York federal court, in part accusing the jewelers of breach of contract and of fraud because they had allegedly undervalued their items. 'Brink’s believes that each Defendant seeks to recover more from Brink’s than is permitted under the Contract,' the company wrote in its suit ... Two weeks later, 14 of the 15 victims countersued Brink’s in Los Angeles County Superior Court, seeking $200 million in total damages. (Since then, three have settled for an undisclosed sum.) They accuse the company of negligence for putting their valuables in a lightly protected truck, especially after being warned of heightened security risk at the expo." Same source as above

    Overall: Thanks for an interesting article. Note: Earwig did not work for me so I spot checked the majority of sources and found that they are accurate and not closely paraphrased. AlT0 is exactly 200 characters and ALT1 is 198 (I struck ALT1 because I do not find it WP:DYKINT. I think ALT0 is the most interesting and it is confirmed by citation in the article. The article has 13 citations cited to Bloomberg which is a cartoon-illustrated article. I do not see why it would not be reliable but it is a curious way to present a serious subject. Also:Launchballer Suggest you do not trim the hook because your suggestion would remove all interest and it is 200 characters so complies with our guidelines. Lightburst (talk) 23:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I've divested the lead of extraneous content and moved the third paragraph up (it makes sense to have 'this was nicked' next to 'here's how'). Airship can adjudicate as to whether the theft of millions of dollars worth of jewelry is interesting on its own.--Launchballer 06:39, 5 July 2024 (UTC
    It is within the 200-character limit, as noted. If it were not, I would not have submitted it. Tell me, what exactly is the point of having that limit if, after taking steps to comply with it, someone nevertheless takes it upon themselves to wade into a discussion and suggest it needs to be trimmed for some reason other than being too wordy?

    Jewel thefts are perhaps interesting on their own. Jewel thefts that occur when one of the guards is sleeping nearby and the other one is off getting fast food are even more interesting, and if we can fit that all into a coherently-written 200-character hook, we should.

    • Neutrality can be a delicate thing. The "nasty, brutish and not short enough" review balances the other reviews, so the body of the article is neutral in that respect.

    Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well sourced, plagiarism free and a QPQ is done. ALT0 is cited and interesting, but (from my reading) ALT1 might not work: isn't it that the fort was named after the princess, and the museum is named after the fort? So slightly different in the hook to the article. I might be overthinking though! Lajmmoore (talk) 13:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Was a draft until today so new enough and, as I now realise, also long enough. I can't see any problems in the article around copyvio, POV or OR. Sourcing looks good overall and the hook citations appear to be sound and reliable. The hook is certainly interesting because it caught my eye immediately when I was checking my own nomination. QPQ has been done. I think this is fine and it should be promoted. PearlyGigs (talk) 21:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong Oppose this nomination: An article on this subject was deleted 7 months ago because of weak sourcing. There haven't been any new sources added other than a paper by the two proponents of this theory and lots of other really weak sources. Wikipedia's job isn't to promote anti-vaxx conspiracy theories or other conspiracy theories, of which in my and other people's opinions, this is one. The only people claiming that ANYONE adheres to these multiple philosophies is Torres and Gebru. ---Avatar317(talk) 00:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Original admin who closed AfD undeleted it after i proposed appropriate changes. the AfD never came to consensus of conspiracy theory (just u), and deleted it due to lack of WP:N. if u want to delete this again, use AfD again or bug the original admin.Bluethricecreamman (talk) 01:12, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • I was aware when I did the DYK review that the article is about ideologies, but I don't consider the article to be promoting those ideologies because it is neutral. The subject, in my opinion, is notable. I can't say I'm knowledgeable about TESCREAL but the article does appear to be adequately sourced. I've been reading it again and I still think the hook should be promoted. But, as I say, I am not an SME in this area so I will happily step aside if an SME is needed. Incidentally, the lead is the primary location of the hook material and its two sources. Thanks. PearlyGigs (talk) 09:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have to second the concerns brought up above: this article was merged in November for poor sourcing and the fact that it seemed to lean very heavily into the op-ed angle of the source it did use. To be clear, I certainly have a great personal distaste for the majority of people who run the majority of software companies, and ethical objections to a good portion of the United States' GDP (I am a diehard Linux user with all of the political implications that entails). However, the implication that "global tech elites" are engaged in a deliberate scheme to carry out eugenics (as one of the sources said from the previous version of this article), based on a collection of op-eds and blog posts where people who hate them say this a bunch of times, seems to raise some rather significant BLP issues. It is somewhat concerning to vaguely imply this in wikivoice as though it's settled fact, and then the citations are to a journal of biosemiotics. jp×g🗯️ 02:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Posting on here same stuff as in the Talk Page section:
    A) This article was merged for lack of WP:N. If you consider it still an issue, use WP:AfD or bug the original admin who deleted, merged, than undeleted this. It isn't a valid argument to suggest that it's settled that it deserves to remerged if we've added a ton of sourcing and improved on it. Settle it by starting the process to delete it if you want.
    B) Are there reliable sources indicating that TESCREAL is a significantly derogatory epithet similar to Libtard/Chud? Marc Andreessen self-describes as TESCREAList. Many of these folks regularly ascribe to multiple of these philosophies as transhumanists, ethical altruists, long-termists, etc. Sourcing here does not necessarily imply that every TESCREAList is also a eugenicist, nor do we use WP:SYNTH to suggest that these folks are all eugenicists. There is no mention of eugenicist claims in the third section. Also, we have Big Tech as a wikipedia article along with criticism, which is also a similar "perjorative" against tech companies, and other significant "perjoratives" with negative connotations such as Democrat in Name Only and Cuckservative. These all explain what opinion writers and commentators mean, and why. This article is far more tame than many of those.
    C) That more than a dozen opinions use a term like this should be notable enough. I suspect that any sort of article about philosophies will require opinionated sources or commentaries. Effective altruism includes sourcing from Centre for Effective Altruism and by extension the Effective Altruism Forum, study centers specifically invested in effective altruism and founded by leaders, as well as many opinions.
    D) WP:OPINION applies here, especially for philosphical arguments. I looked for criticisms of TESCREAL. If more are published, we can include them. These sources are WP:SECONDARY, they contain analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. Secondary sources are not necessarily independent sources.
    E) If you want to settle WP:BLP, please post in the section on WP:BLPN. We've already started and done this argument. There are multiple sources on WP:PUBLICFIGUREs here alleging that many of these folks use TESCREAL to justify their tech projects, and we make sure to use the word "allege" correctly, as per WP:OPINION, along with the correct sourcing
    Conclusion:) TESCREAL is unliked by some portion of folks on here for some reason. I'm happy to listen to arguments, but I want an argument about why we are suddenly so sensitive about criticism of Elon Musk/etc. for using human extinction for every time someone criticizes his behavior or cars or products. If you are just an elon musk/nick bostrum/etc. fan, than say it and stop throwing mud on an article that contains a criticism of philosophies that occurs often enough that we can gather 20+ sources, including 10 using the term in severe detail to directly dissect the argument that yelling extinction every 15 minutes doesn't mean you've justified your next mega project.

    London bus with wheelchair ramp
    I think I found a better hook.
    I think that is more interesting as since the TfL bus fleet has been accessible for a while. but since the LU is the oldest metro systems, its partially accessible with only a third. Also with taxis, I assume you're talking about the TfL ones since other services like Uber likely don't have the accessibility scheme in place and use a normal car. I also think something that is not mostly accessible is better and more interesting that those that are fully accessible. For example, a hook stating that the Elizabeth line is fully accessible (even including the old stations) wouldn't be interesting as new(er) systems are expected to be accessible/have step free systems. JuniperChill (talk) 09:36, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, I'm happy to go with that hook with a minor tweak for "step-free"- yes, I mean "London black taxi", technically Uber is not a taxi (Vehicle for hire). I didn't want to be too negative about accessibility, but the Tube one is balanced. Could use the lead photo - unsure on caption though! Turini2 (talk) 10:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry for the late reply as I was out and about. Anyway, I don't really need to see the point of the photo if we are talking about 1/3rd of LU stations accessible since I cannot think what demonstrates it, plus its very tight for images on DYK because only one image a day (or two images a day in the event of a backlog) for the ~8 hooks. Also @TheNuggeteer:, what do you think of the new hook as you initially reviewed it? JuniperChill (talk) 16:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think "only" should be removed, but other than that, it's fine. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 23:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: Technically, São Tomé and Príncipe is a singular country (a Portuguese colony at the time mentioned in the hook). The hook should therefore use singular conjugations of verbs, but it sounded too odd upon my initial reading. I thus changed the verbs to their plural conjugations, as if the islands themselves are being described rather than the modern country or the former colony. I have nonetheless included my original wording as ALT1, in case the reviewer or promoter wants to compare the two.

    • Hi Yue, review follows: article created 3 July and exceeds minimum length; I reworded one sentence slightly to move it further from the source, but otherwise I don't think there is an issue with overly close paraphrasing; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited (BBC); a QPQ has been provided; image is properly licensed and looks fine. I changed from single to double quotation marks in the hooks to match the article and, I think, our MOS. In terms of plurals I think English_plurals#Geographical_plurals_used_as_singular discusses this; either alternative sounds OK to me but British English tends to be a bit more flexible than US English on this (see eg.

    • Article was promoted to Good Article within the last couple of days, is easily long enough, well written and copiously referenced. In my opinion the original hook, about being the first to get a BA degree, is best - very interesting indeed. The fact is cited immediately after it, in the lead introduction, to a page hosted on the university website. If I was being picky I'd say the info about achieving a BA degree should be included in the main body of the article too, because the lead intro is normally a summary of the main article. But the GA reviewers didn't have an issue with this, so I'm happy to say good to go to the next stage. Sionk (talk) 17:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Interesting article. Article is within policy, cited to reliable sources, and no copyright violation detected. Hook fact is verified to the cited source. However the hook statement itself is not currently explicitly stated in the article. We need the hook fact clearly presented in the article with similar language with an inline citation before this can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 18:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    4meter4 I’ve reworded it, does this suffice? Will Thorpe (talk) 00:54, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Willthorpe You misunderstood what I said. I didn't need you to change the hook fact, I needed you to add as inline citation inside the article itself (along with making the text of the hook fact appear in the article's body). We can only promote hooks where the hook content is written with similar language in the article and where that information is directly followed by an inline citation. Currently the Great Northern Railway is only mentioned in the lead and without an inline citation. We need to see the content of the hook fact in the body of the article and with an inline citation. That will require you editing the article to make it compliant with DYK's requirements. Best.4meter4 (talk) 13:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @4meter4 Oh! I’m afraid you’ve missed it! It’s in the ’Legacy’ section at the end of the article. I figure that featuring citations in the lede is usually bad practice as the content is elaborated on further down, with references there. Will Thorpe (talk) 14:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Roc0ast3r, nice article on an interesting subject; review: article created 7 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited, I would be a little wary of ALT1 as the article (and source) state that he later regretted not taking up his seat, happy to leave to the discretion of the promoter; no QPQ is required.

    Yes, because each reference is just covering a single program. I provided a representative sampling across time to demonstrate that it was a recurring program. There are many more of this kind. I couldn’t find a source talking about the program in a long term way to replace these. Best.4meter4 (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Oneida casket was apparently used for the funeral services, and later McKinley was transferred into another casket, made in Ohio, for the actual entombment. A New York Times article from September 15, 1901 reads: '[McKinley’s casket] was furnished by the National Casket Company of Oneida and is elaborate in design. It is made of solid crotched Santo Domingo mahogany. It measures 6 feet 3 inches in length, is 22 inches wide, and 20 inches deep inside.'" from: Stone, Carly (4 November 2022).

    • Article is new enough and long enough. It is well-sourced, presentable, neutral, and BLP-compliant. Earwig is mostly picking up on proper nouns. The hook is cited and interesting. I would use U.S. and not US as this is an American company and maybe shorten the hook to just Ol' Rip, leaving off the Horned Toad if the image is used. QPQ has been done. The image has a free license, is used in the article, and renders well at a small size. Good job. gobonobo + c 02:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
