- Comment: Drive-by nomination, as it's been around 6.875 days since this was converted from a redirect and I want to get this in under the wire. I have a small amount of work to do, starting with the excision of those ugly WP:CLUMPs. Note that I've included 'credited' because, as can quite clearly be seen in the image in the cited source, series 4 winners Spelbound also contained women. Also noting that the majority of this article was created by an IP.

- Review: Newly expanded article from a redirect meeting the required length size of prose. BLP is notable to exist as a standalone article now passing WP:ARTIST. No apparent copyvios. QPQ done. Rest article seems fine. Problem comes with only the fact that this is a synthesis and hence not perfectly verifiable. Do we have any another source mentioning her to be the first woman winner without a dog? Or else, do we have anything else from the article to a new hook? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:52, 13 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.

I've done a general search myself as to the subject of the bio in English sources.

ISBN 978-0-691-65544-4, p. 45: "By dawn of the following day, the balance of forces had so shifted that the peasants decided to challenge the troops by marching to Ruse. When they approached the troops the commander gave the order to open fire. The soldiers, however, refused to shoot into the peasants and fired two volleys into the air. The commander himself drew his revolver and fired at the peasants, who rushed at him and made him prisoner. Some of the soldiers allowed their weapons to be taken and the rest retreated."

За да сломи нападателния дух на селяните, командирът на войсковия отред даде заповед за стрелба. Но войниците отказаха да стрелят в своите бащи и братя. Не беше изпълнена също така и заповедта „На нож!“. Войската се колебаеше."

To break the offensive spirit of the villagers, the commander of the military detachment gave the order to shoot. But the soldiers refused to shoot their fathers and brothers. The order "On a knife!" was also not carried out. The army hesitated."

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.

- Comment – I will review this nomination. – Editør (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
- @BeanieFan11: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: The QPQ is now done, but the other issue is still open. – Editør (talk) 12:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- @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)
- 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)
- 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)
- (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)- 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.

Benjamin Jackson (sailor)
- ... that Benjamin Jackson was likely paid at least $300 to fight in the American Civil War as Lewis Saunders?
- Source: Pages 197 and 198 of this book detail how Benjamin Jackson enlisted in the Union Navy in May 1864 as a substitute for a US citizen named Lewis Saunders, who was drafted, but had the opportunity to pay for a substitute to take his place. The fee Jackson received was likely at least $300. Because Jackson served as a substitute, he was enlisted under the Saunders name.

- Comment: June 27-29 is their national convention, so that'd be great timing for a DYK. I'm part of a WikiEdu course on 2024 US elections and I will continue improving this article over the coming week(s). I'd especially welcome advice on the ordering and naming of sections. I'm in touch with the organization and hope to get some images for Wiki Commons and the article.
ProfGray (talk) 00:35, 15 June 2024 (UTC).
- @ProfGray: QPQ not needed. Article is long enough and recently expanded. Article is copyvio-free. ALT0 is interesting and well-sourced; I fell that ALT1 is too general. The article has one issue: there is a paragraph that lacks citations, which I tagged. Once that is fixed, the hook can be approved. Kimikel (talk) 01:55, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, @Kimikel:, for working on this DYK. I fixed the citation and removed the tag. (The ref was actually the same as the previous sentence, must have gotten moved around during revisions, thanks for catching that.) Please let me know if any other concerns.

- Comment not review As this is an article featuring election candidates, it should not appear on the main page until after 4 July, see WP:DYKELECT. TSventon (talk) 21:19, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- New enough and long enough. QPQ present. This is a unique contribution to DYK as it is three paragraphs and a list; even though one paragraph does not end in an inline citation, I am treating it as a lead-section paragraph. All the list bullet points contain at least one inline citation. The hook fact checks out and is included. Image is OGL-licensed and acceptable for the Main Page. Good to go after 4 July per above.

- Thank you very much for the review, Sammi! If you've got concerns over the amount of prose in this article, I've expanded the lead with another paragraph. Let me know if you think this has improved things. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 15:32, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
