Template talk:Did you know/Approved
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.

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
- change
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.

Pure Japanese

- ALT1: ... that Pure Japanese uses the idea that "if the operating system called the language controls the thoughts and actions of the human race to deliver language OS DNAs to the future"? Source: If Japanese language is the human OS tool and if that OS is simply driving the human race to deliver "Language OS DNAs" to the future, the question is "where is this demigod-like language OS taking Japanese tribe to?" That was the idea.
- ALT2: ... that Pure Japanese is a film that offers both Ninja shows and action scenes? Source: I learned the Ninja moves in Nikko. I practiced with the actual Ninja players at Nikko Edo Wonderland a few times but prior to that, I spent more time in the studio with the action team to get the basic movements down.
- ALT3: ... that in Pure Japanese, there is a tool called the "PJ kit" to measure the purity of Japanese people? Source: 本作に登場する検査キット(PJキット)はパロディというか、ギャグですよね。/The test kit (PJ kit) in this work is a parody or a gag.

Twice a Man (film)

hinnk (talk) 07:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC).
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)
- 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)

Kubrick stare

- ALT2: ... that the Kubrick stare is one of "cinema's most recognizable shots"? Source: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/donald-trump-mugshot-stanley-kubrick/
- ALT3: ... that a Kubrick stare can be "invasive" and "troubling"? Source: https://journals.openedition.org/essais/646
- Reviewed: Isabella Correa
- Comment: I'm eschewing the McDowell image as it is too closely cropped and eliminates the forehead, which has been mentioned as an element of the Kubrick stare. I really desire this to be an image hook (as does the subject of the photo), so I'm fine with a set-builder pushing this far back or anything similar.
Bremps... 10:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC).
- QPQ is done, article is new enough, article is long enough. WP:EARWIG says "Violation Unlikely". Personally I would not use the hook mentioning Trump's mug shot, because it would be a bit strange to mention it but then show an entirely different photograph. ALT3 is the one I think is best because it matches the photograph the most. Overall, good to go for ALT3.

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:

René Heyde
- ... that 14 months after taking up track cycling, René Heyde narrowly missed out being selected to the New Zealand team at the 1972 Summer Olympics?
- 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."

- 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.

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.

Full review needed of all five articles and the hook. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:56, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
TI'll start with what's in good shape: The articles are all long enough, and they are new enough relative to the nomination date of May 15 (PoRC's 5x expansion was completed on May 10, Bezel was moved into main space on May 17, Zitta was created on May 11, Semenovskaya was created on May 14, and Maksimov was created on May 15). I presume good faith about the majority of the sources, which are either in a language I am unable to read (Russian) or are published in a format I can't access. I was able to look at the No Compromise, Bolshevik Response, and Boris Pasternak citations. Additionally, while I was not able to read any of the Khronika Press material, I was able to find that Khronika was a liberal-democratic publisher during the Soviet era.
The hooks are interesting (my knowledge of Revolutionary Russia is, like that of many people, limited, but party expulsions carry with them a whiff of drama that draws the eye of many readers), and the information is appropriately cited in at least one article.
@Soman: There are, however, some issues—for the most part individually minor and primarily to do with presentability, with a few exceptions that I marked with , though collectively somewhat numerous—that I would be grateful to see resolved before approving the nomination. I hope they be straightforward to resolve, whereupon I'd be willing to approve the nomination.

- Hi Hydrageans. Thanks for the 5-article review. I think I've attended to all the grammar/language issues. On the other points:
- 'tendency' can refer to a loosely organized movement. I think it is more appropriate in this context than 'faction' or 'movement' here.
- On PRK delegates at II Comintern congress having consultative votes, Novoe v zhizni, nauke, tekhnike: Serii︠a︡: Istorii︠a︡ (1974) states that "26 июля 1920 г. представители « революционных ком- мунистов » А. Устинов и П . Сапожников , пригла- щенные на Конгресс с правом совещательного голоса , передали Президиуму Конгресса декларацию ЦК ПРК , в которой выражалась готовность подчиниться решению Конгресса и поставить вопрос о вхождении в РКП ( б )." Now, this is essentially the same as stated in the English translation No Compromises?. The translator of No Compromises? has opted to reword the terminology 'consultative vote' to 'no vote/deliberative capacity'.

@GRuban: QPQ is done. Article is long enough and moved to mainspace same day as DYK submission. Hooks are both interesting and sourced correctly; I prefer ALT1. Article is presentable and free from copyvio. I have two minor issues with the article's citations: 1) I added a citation needed tag, and 2) the article uses X as a source. Other than those two things, there's nothing else needed for approval. Kimikel (talk) 01:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Arteaga, close friend of MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez, did not foresee Rodriguez's talent? This way there is more context concering who Arteaga is and why it is more interesting that he couldn't forsee Rodriguez's talent. Furthemore, considering that Rodriguez is recognized as one of the best baseball players of all time, Arteaga being a close friend of his also is interesting.

I uploaded the photo you proposed after I made this nomination and forgot to suggest it here, so thanks for catching that. In the interest of this not sitting in pending forever, we can either remove the photos or substitute this photo from 1876 which is quite unlikely to still be under copyright due to its nearly 150 year age.

- Newly created in mainspace on 13 June, the day of nomination, by moving from Draftspace.

- No obvious close paraphrasing or copyvio noted in spot-checks of sources, but I tweaked a couple of phrases which could have been considered too close to the source.
- The image is PD because copyright has expired. If used, the hook would need to have something like (White Rock chicken pictured) appended. It is used in the article, so no issues there.
- Sourcing and referencing is fine: everything is referenced, and to decent-quality sources.
- No issues with neutrality, POV etc.
- The hook fact is sourced and interesting – in fact quite remarkable. Length of the hook is fine.

Frances Darlington
- ... that although sculptor Frances Darlington was known for her painted relief panels, she also designed a railway poster?
- Source: "(An Ilkley Borough Council committee was formed) ... to bring before the public the advantage of Ilkley, and in answer to an advertisement for designs in posters to be placed at various stations on the different railways, some thirty or more competed for same in colour.

New article, well written and high quality (likely suitable for a GA nomination). No copyvio issues found. Hook is interesting, cited in the article, and of appropriate length. 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)

- @Storye book: Good work figuring out the photographer! Unfortunately, US copyright is tricky - proof of pre-1929 publication (or other scenarios) is still needed for it to be public domain in the US. I'm sorry to be pushy about this, but I've seen other hooks get pulled last-minute for similar issues and I don't want that to happen to you. If you're not able to find original publication information, then the hook would be fine without the image, or with one of her artworks (maybe File:Frieze by Darlington (9b) History the Sublime Hymn and Astronomy.jpg).

Fireze by Darlington (detail) - 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)
@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)

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.) Problem is: ALT1 is not clearly stated in the article itself. Is Oey An Siok supposed to be the second man with no name? Please clarify. Hybernator (talk) 23:57, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- 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".

@Ennegma: This article needs some work before nomination approval. Article is long enough and was created 2 days before nomination. Article is well-sourced and presentable. Hook is interesting and sourced. However, the article has issues with copyvio. I understand some of that is due to direct quotes, but there are a lot of sentences lifted directly from other articles that could be phrased and arranged differently, see https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Traceable_Radiometry_Underpinning_Terrestrial_and_Helio_Studies. Please let me know if this is addressed - Kimikel (talk) 23:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- 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.

Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:09, 23 June 2024 (UTC).
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?
- Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:31, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- 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)- 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)
- 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)- 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)
- 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)
- 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)- 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)

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)
- 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)
- 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)
- Please note that I said "just look" in my last message to Storye book. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:51, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- 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.

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.

- 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)
- 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)

Hi Buidhe (talk), review follows: article created 22 June; article is on the shorter side but exceeds minimum length; sources look to be reliable for the information cited; a QPQ has been carried out; hook fact is interesting and stated in the article. I don't have access to the academic sources cited but happy to assume they support the statement, the JTA contemporary source reports the fact. I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the sources I could access. Looks fine to me, interesting article/subject - Dumelow (talk) 12:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

- Adding an alt here:
- ALT2: ... that the escaped donkey Diesel is "living his best life" with a wild elk herd?
- @Bremps: I really like the "living his best life" quote. Maybe there's a way to incorporate both. Something like...that an escaped donkey "living his best life" may have killed a mountain lion? I'm reluctant to go with a "may have killed" hook though, since others have pointed out that the article is already pretty heavy on speculation. For what it's worth, this reference indicates that donkeys killing mountain lions is rare, but not unheard of. Maybe Sims2aholic8 has an opinion now that the article has survived AfD. gobonobo + c 01:08, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

- Yeah I also really like the "living his best life" quote, so definitely keen to place that in the hook. 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:
--Grnrchst (talk) 09:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)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: for ALT1 as I think folks will want to click on parlor car and it meets the criteria. For ALT0, the name bit didn't really make me want to read more into it. I'm also not convinced that the source for ALT0 fully backs up the claim, as it says it's the only one known by a name, not necessarily that it is still known by the same name. Seems a bit synthy.

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 ([28]) mention it in any way? That would be much better. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 06:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- @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)
- @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)
- @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)
- @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?

'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.)

Jewel thefts are perhaps interesting on their own.

Just one minor issue:
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. But the header only says "critically well-received", which is not neutral, and sounds like an advertisement. So please neutralise the header?- I have given the article a minor copyedit, and added a missing reference. That does not affect this DYK nomination.

Hi Ornithoptera, review follows: article created 1 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I made a small edit that moves one sentence a little away from the source, there is some similarity left but I think on the right side of acceptability given limited options for rewording; hook is interesting enough for me, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; image is nice and freely licensed; my only query is on your QPQ, you say you'll be doing it on 7 July but the one you've linked is from 2012 by another user? - Dumelow (talk) 14:59, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

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)
- 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)

- The LEAD is well written and neutral, thanks for that.---Avatar317(talk) 03:34, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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.
- Alt2: that only a third of London Underground stations have step free access?
- 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.

- 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.
Yue🌙 07:35, 3 July 2024 (UTC).
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.

New article of good length. Sources look fine and I didn't find any copyright issues. The hook is interesting and short. The picture is freely licensed and works in a small format. Third nomination, so QPQ is not needed. Seems like everything is good and ready to go, well done! Ffranc (talk) 11:53, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

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)
