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.

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.

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.

• 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

• 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.

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.

I asked for insight on the DYK talk page because of the recent incorrect "first" hooks that have run. SL93 (talk) 21:40, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with "the first Indian female physician in Western medicine to have trained alongside men in India" is that's an open-ended set. Nowhere do we have an authoritative list of every physician who ever trained in India. I'd be less concerned about something based on "Grant Medical College's first female graduate" because at least there, somebody could enumerate every person who has graduated from that school and look at each one. I assume that's what Kavitha Rao did, or at least she based her statement on somebody who did. RoySmith (talk) 13:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Whispyhistory A new hook is needed. SL93 (talk) 00:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  ALT2: ... that in 1884 Motibai Kapadia's father allowed her to study alongside men in India? "father allowed her to study medicine along with other male students" [6]

Thank you all above. I took Rao's claim out as I found other women graduated from Grant before Kapadia and Rao doesn't state Indian. Kapadia may have been the only Indian female doctor in the whole of Gujarat for many years, but I can't find a reliable source. Other suggestions welcome. Whispyhistory (talk) 09:48, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Balance person (talk) 11:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC).[reply]

• 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]

• ALT0a hook is fine by me Balance person

I'm afraid I find ALT0a extremely clunky @Balance person:, and this would need to be rewritten. I also don't see how this passed WP:GA given that it fails MOS:PARA (I literally cannot read the first paragraph of Early life and education, and single-sentence paragraphs should be avoided).--Launchballer 12:47, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been passed for GA status. If others do not feel ALTOa is right, perhaps we could go with ALT1. Or someone, perhaps you, could suggest an alternative wording for the clunky one? I actually don't know if I am supposed to be the only editor who should write the hooks or if others can help too, User:Launchballer Balance person (talk) 13:15, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a looks fine to me. I can understand Airshipjungleman's concerns about the factual accuracy, considering it seems to be a claim from the college ("claimed to be" would not go amiss in the first paragraph). The date is a good addition. Unless someone challenges the GA status I would assume the article is legible enough for DYK. Good to go at last. Sionk (talk) 13:53, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lauchballer is right in saying the prose quality of the first paragraph has been substantially degraded since the GA review, and is now difficult to parse. ALT0a is also just ... weird: the phrase "descendant of ... mother", the missing definite articles, etc. Would suggest instead ALT0b: that Mary Jane Patterson, whose mother was an African American slave, gained a BA degree in 1862 having taken a "gentleman's course"? The issues with the article's prose still need to be resolved before the hook can run. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:51, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that ALT0b is better. I have substantially edited the first paragraph which had been altered to include new info and think it reads fine now. Open to more comments of course, as ever. Balance person (talk) 08:23, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Launchballer, AirshipJungleman29, and Balance person: This nomination is just over a week from timing out, are there still issues that need to be addressed or are they resolved? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:30, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is just becoming frustrating. Let's get this fascinating DYK published in some form before we lose it. Sionk (talk) 09:46, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0b is a rewording of ALT0a with no new information and should be approvable if you already have. I've taken out some stuff that wasn't really relevant, but it's a bit better now. @AirshipJungleman29:, your thoughts?--Launchballer 10:35, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALTS 1/1a have been removed from the article following my comment at WT:DYK.

• Article is long enough, promoted to GA on 17 July 2024, is well-referenced and presentable. I participated in the GA review though I was not the main reviewer and the work done there was thorough. I confirmed the hook used is cited properly, but maybe indicate the page number (131). The image is freely licensed (public-domain under Argentina photo copyright law). QPQ is also done. This looks like a good nomination. My only other thoughts are that there are plenty of alternate hooks that could be used based on the history of the work, but it might stray into being more about Oesterheld or Segunda parte than the work itself. (This is my first review - my bad if I missed anything obvious.) Reconrabbit 14:07, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, there are DYK nominations for the Eternaut 1969 (the one with Breccia) and the second part elsewhere. It would be repetitive to propose hooks based on them. Cambalachero (talk) 17:15, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is that bad to deserve a cross, but you'll definitely want to add a cite to the first paragraph of Yadin's executions at minimum, and that's before interrogating any of the sources.--Launchballer 14:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Launchballer: I have added a cross-ref (it had been referenced at the end of the paragraph, but the paragraph was then split in to two). Re the IP's comments, the citation quote gives all the info about the funeral, and the rest of his book is about the myth. I guess the IP is referring to the latter question. I can bring some more quotes if helpful.

For context, all the sources in the article say essentially the same thing – there is only one known original source for this event, Josephus. The Israeli national myth version differs from that story in a number of significant ways. We can add some nuance to the words "is now known to be a myth" if that is helpful, but the underlying point is beyond doubt.

Onceinawhile (talk) 16:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a question of "nuance." There is no consensus - as incorrectly and blatantly stated - in RS refs that it "is now known to be a myth." That's simply fake news. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:A91E:FA5D:EAB2:D6B0 (talk) 21:10, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The wording that it "is now known to be a myth" is simply not supported by the source provided. Perhaps "believed by some to be a myth" or even better "described by one scholar as a myth" could be supported by the citation, but "is now known to be a myth" embellishes the source far beyond any justifiable limit. Alansohn (talk) 01:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the “it” you are referring to? Onceinawhile (talk) 06:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: regarding your comment from a few weeks ago, a new section (Masada_myth#Decline) has now been added to the article as suggested by User:Uppagus. It includes a list of the notable scholars which published on this topic between 1975 and Nachman Ben-Yehuda's book in 1996, as given by Ben-Yehuda.

I have read widely on this topic, including the most recent work by Jodi Magness, and can firmly confirm that there is no scholarly debate as to whether this specific narrative is a myth. Not a single dissenting voice. Onceinawhile (talk) 21:18, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Once -- the statement is simply not supported by any of the refs. It's really that simple. Actually, this brings the entire article into question now that I consider it. Plus, it doesn't seem to warrant a standalone article at all. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:6043:6D87:AEA7:B5C8 (talk) 06:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the status of this nomination @Onceinawhile:?--Launchballer 07:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Launchballer: it would be great to have a new reviewer look at this now. There was an initial aversion to the article by some editors - hence the AfD and subsequent talk page discussions. But these challenges have petered out as concerned editors found the time to read the underlying sourcing in detail, and it seems now to be clear to all that this is a well-covered subject with many decades of academic work underpinning it. The article has benefited from the additional scrutiny, which has made it even stronger. There is more work to do to continue to improve the article, but nothing that should impede us proceeding with the DYK review. Onceinawhile (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have my sympathy, I had similar snorts when I brought Matty Healy here. (They even nixed my P05 article.) I'm looking at this now for the first time; it's certainly strongly worded but all its claims are backed up, so this should be fine. However, you do need an end-of-sentence citation for the hook.--Launchballer 10:32, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Onceinawhile: Should probably ping.--Launchballer 12:52, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Launchballer: I enjoyed reading those articles you linked to. I am genuinely amazed that an article that has had almost 5 million views since you recreated it last year had all those delete votes.

I have done some more work to the article,[15] including adding a further source which works neatly as an end-of-sentence citation for the hook (Sheldon 1998, p. 448: "The belief system he refers to is a myth created around the story of Masada and the Jewish fighters who committed suicide there at the end of the Great Jewish War against Rome in A.D. 73. The story, as Josephus tells it, is not one of heroism. The sicarii on Masada were simply an extremist group of terrorists who had never participated in the Jewish Revolt to begin with and had spent more time killing other Jews than fighting the Romans. Modern twentieth-century Zionists, however, took the original story, eliminated the more embarrassing parts (like the massacre of Jews at Ein Gedi by the sicarii), then used the remaining core to construct a "mythical narrative" of heroism, sacrifice, and national pride for modern Israelis." Every one of the 38 citations in the article contains a version of this statement, but this is a particularly direct one. Onceinawhile (talk) 01:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(It's because it used to look like this and the 1975 Reddit didn't like it very much.) Hook now checks out - let's roll.--Launchballer 07:37, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:25, 3 August 2024 (UTC).[reply]

• Article is new. At 1671 characters it just passes the 1500 minimum, although I'm unsure full start class is warranted. The sources will need access-dates.
  I am unsure about the first couple of sentences, the source does not explicitly say the childhood was spent in Triunfo de la Cruz, and at any rate it does say he left to Tegucigalpa at 13 so he did some growing up there too. "hermanos" also does not mean only brothers, it is used for the group of both genders. Not a DYKcrit, but the fourth sentence should really spell out COH, and there is a disconnect between the lead sentence and the body regarding flag bearer or co-flag bearer. Regarding "bronze medal at the cadet world championships in Hungary", the source says he was in the cadet category, not that cadet was the name of the tournament (after a bit of research, probably the World Junior Wrestling Championships already mentioned in the next paragraph, in the 15-17 category).
  Haven't checked the other paragraphs, but moving onto the hook, I can't verify the 2015 portion from the source, may be missing it although it appears correct. That said it's not the most interesting hook, is there anything other than an athlete winning medals in the sources? QPQ needed. CMD (talk) 11:08, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Chipmunkdavis: Apologies for the delay. QPQ is done. I made some changes ([17]), including clarifying COH, changing 'brothers' to 'one of five children', re-wording Triunfo de la Cruz, addressing the 'co' flagbearer, etc. Looking at the source again, I realize that it mentions, through Google Translate, "It is worth remembering that Mejía won the only silver medal in Honduras in the last XVII Pan American Games of Toronto 2015" – which is odd because from what I can find, they only had one medalist that year. Let me know if you'd like me to dig further to find one mentioning him as the 'sole' medalist. I did find that hook kind of interesting, but I can try to find another if you'd like. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Hmm, more curiously, either you and I both missed this or it's been updated, but his year of birth is currently 1995. Confirmed here by his age, which also notes he was the only Honduran to enter the 2024 Olympics by qualifying, and the specific entry into the 97kg category could be mentioned. Also he has a son, and this source confirms a childhood in Triunfo de la Cruz and has a nice anecdote about selling spinning tops.
  Regarding the hook, the sources seem to put a lot of emphasis of him being the only qualifying Honduran. That's not too catchy either, but I understand the sports angle, perhaps one or two sports alts and a promoter may pick one. CMD (talk) 07:04, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Chipmunkdavis: Sorry for taking so long. I added a bit to the article (spinning tops, son, qualifying, etc.). In addition to the original hook, I thought of these other potential ALTs:

• ALT1 ... that Kevin Mejía was the only Honduran to directly qualify for the 2024 Olympics?
• ALT2 ... that Kevin Mejía was the sole Honduran medalist at the 2015 and 2023 Pan American Games and the country's first-ever gold medalist at the Pan American Wrestling Championships? ([18])

• (Guess who was offline when she got the watchlist notifications for this haha) But anyway, thank you @Launchballer: for the alternate hook and @BeanieFan11: for the review! I definitely tunnel-visioned a bit the sourcing for her being "first" wasn't as strong as I'd have liked it to be for a main-page hook, and while I'd obviously liked to have include the all-woman thing, I'm not sure it's going to work out. But, before this gets finalized, is there any objection to possibly changing the hook to "pilot Nicole Chang-Leng"?

Let's see a hook.--Launchballer 09:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: ALT4: ... that airline pilot Nicole Chang-Leng has been described as "daughter" of the Seychelles? But then again, the entire point of Alt3 is that it makes the reader question why Chang-Leng has been described in this way. And I don't want to provide the answer within the hook, and while I can say that I'd, personally, be more inclined to read further if I knew she was a pilot, that's a pretty subjective opinion. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 09:32, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I can tick that off. (How confident are we that the image is in fact Creative Commons, given that it appears in [21]? And if we are, would you like to submit it?)--Launchballer 09:43, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: Brilliant, thanks! And concerning the image: I'm confident that Seychelles News Agency has permission to license certain Seychelles Nation images under various Creative Commons Licenses. The Seychelles News Agency regularly publishes (not reprints- actually originally publishes) Seychelles Nation photographs under a CC license; with other third party photos (social media photos, photos taken from other news agencies/government bodies), they're very scrupulous about marking them as all rights reserved. (see [22], [23], and [24] for examples of how they normally do it). I mean, it is theoretically possible that the Seychelles News Agency is just being incredibly callous about giving away images from one very particular news agency, but I'm going to say that I'm sure they have an agreement of some kind; there's no alternative that makes sense to me. I think we can assume good faith on their licensing, as much as we can assume good faith on any website with a solid record of providing attribution and correctly providing the license of so many images.

And I would love to submit the picture- but I am afraid I have to say that I don't know how. Is there a guide I can read somewhere? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 10:17, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good for them. Perhaps The Sunday Times would like to follow their example. (I plan on 5xing Piri & Tommy in the near future and this is an excellent image.)

I have struck ALT0 since it is not explicity mentioned in the article, and I cannot locate any source which says that Winslow Homer made the house famous. I have struck ALT2 and ALT3 for being not interesting to a broad audience. Something an artist did not do, is not going to generate interest in clicking on article about this house. ALT1 approved as the best hook proposed. It is interesting to a broad audience, it is about the house itself, properly mentioned and cited in the article, and verified by the source. I remain open to revisiting the nomination if other hooks are proposed. Best wishes! Flibirigit (talk) 00:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Starting review. On initial glance I feel the names section needs clean up. Inclusion of non-English vernacular names is a touchy subject with proponents both ways, so I won't outright say the section should be trimmed down. However, each name should not be an individual paragraph, as that's very close to shouting, especially with the bolding. Combining the single sentences into a paragraph will clean up the section and make it more legible.--Kevmin § 00:01, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• This is a neat fact, I'll jump on this. Article is new and long enough, and QPQ is met. Reuters is a reliable source and the primary proposed hook is obviously uncontroversial. The first hook is definitely the most direct and interesting, though personally I'd word it in a more attention-grabbing way such as "...that there is a Japanese girl group that performs North Korean pop songs?", stating it less as a fact and more as an anecdote. Not a dealbreaker if you prefer it as is though, the hook is perfectly acceptable. My main concern is with the article itself. While it's mostly presentable, seems copyright free, and has adequate sourcing, I'm concerned about the accuracy of its framing of the topic. It calls them a girl group and states they do musical performances of Korean pop. However, most sources (both utilized and other general google results) appear to call them a fan club, and I can only find any reference to them doing dance, not singing. The Reuters sources cited for them performing music has a lot of photos where they appear to be dancing without any apparent microphones, and again calls them a fan club who are dancing. This also seems more consistent with their undefined scope of membership. If they are not in fact a musical act, this is a major flaw in the article and the hook, which directly touches on them as a pop act. Do you have any sources that confirm they do any singing and are considered to be a girl group? LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 05:16, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @LittleLazyLass: The Liberty Times article describes them as a "girl group" (女子團體), but it literally means "girl group" and does not refer to a singing act, specifically. I've also come to realise that my understanding of the term "girl group" differs from the definition given on Wikipedia and in most English-language dictionaries. If a girl group was defined by their performances of or to music as I had understood it, then all the sources given would imply this descriptor. However, since that is not the definition of a girl group, I will adjust the article and propose new hooks tomorrow to remedy the issues you have highlighted. Thank you for your help thus far. Yue🌙 07:04, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @LittleLazyLass: These adjustments should remedy the framing issues. As for the hook, here's a new one:

        • Much improved! I wouldn't say I see anything wrong with the hook or the article at this point, but I do think the new hook should still include reference to the fact they're Japanese as this is a significant contributor to the fact of them liking North Korean culture being striking.

@Epicgenius:, thanks for the review. You are essentially correct about the hook meaning, although it applies to both the overall border and the "core area" border. See Fig 1 here for the park map, and how if you take crane nests as an environmental proxy, there's a mismatch between park and environment. Oil operations also continued in the park, of the remaining overlap of oil wells, there are 94 in the core area, 35 in the buffer zone and 396 in the experimental zone. Is there a rewording that would help clarify the hook? CMD (talk) 07:32, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Full review is to follow, but before doing so, I would suggest dropping ALT1 and ALT2 because both of them are rather specialist hooks that may require knowledge of Japanese media. The first hook is probably the only suitable option among the three as currently written, but it needs to be rephrased since it isn't clear that "Harada" is in fact the mangaka (after all, Harada is a common Japanese surname). My suggestion would be to change "Harada" to "its artist" since DYK hooks generally should avoid mentioning names of people without articles by name unless necessary. I'd also like to see other additional hook suggestions as while ALT0 is okayish, it's not the best out there and doesn't really scream "hooky".

To explain, as in the article, Inuit namesakes traditionally become the person they are named after. Kublu is named after her grandmother's stepfather and thus became the elder Kublu. Her daughter is named after her father, and thus Kublu's daughter is her father.

• How does the source verify either of the hooks? The "lack of good men" part checks out, but the "their"/"there" etc. part is just referencing the lyrics. This is drawing a conclusion that the article doesn't state. Songs are often works of fiction, so I'm not comfortable with making these statements without a proper source. What's in the hook comes off as somewhere between synthesis and original research. I honestly have no idea what ALT1 means and its certainly not referenced in the article. The article only has the line "moanin' and bitchin'" and doesn't infer that Carpenter serves it in the kitchen: the lyrics do.
• I dislike the links. It's unclear to most readers except a few pop-culture stans that "a lack of good men" and "moanin' and bitchin'" will link to a Carpenter song. (MOS:EASTEREGG)
• Furthermore, I have doubts about the reliability of Capital. More than anything, it seems like a radio station, not a publication. The article comes off as somewhat sensationalist and low-quality. I can't find much on the author's credibility. Can you make a case for this source?

And yet, it happened a year earlier. I then corrected the article when I realized that and sought sources with more detail, but I forgot to update the lead. As for the proposed ALT1, that doesn't seem like better wording to me. "Murdered" (a public figure by a national government) would suggest something more visible and/or public, like a firing squad execution, and just "disappeared" sounds like a magic trick.

Article was created on time and is free from close paraphrasing. The hook is cited inline in the article, meets DYKINT, and is verified in the source. The statement about structures being wrapped in protective foil is not stated by text in the source, but pictures are shown which do show foil, so that works for me. Several statements cited to the Wenatchee World article are not in the current version of the article, such as the mention of Team 13. In addition, the article says that the fire may have "originated from a human-caused structure fire", but The Seattle Times only mentioned that the fire was "human-caused" with no mention of structures; the sentence also uses the Wenatchee World as a source and that too does not mention a "structure". A QPQ has also yet to be provided.

I also have to note that the Wildfire.gov link gives me a 403 Forbidden error, but I'm not sure if it's down or if it's inaccessible outside the US. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:33, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We publishers are directly affected because it's a lost opportunity to sell a book, but there's not much we can do about it. I once chatted with a young man who has a Facebook page, with a funny name in Arabic [Abu Abdo the Mule], that distributes free PDFs of books. (...) I know people who have stopped reading free copies after we've explained to them that they're harming us and the authors too. But such understanding people are rare. The thing that hurts the most about the subject is that people easily save money to buy stupid things, but not books. She says nothing about the low number of books getting published because of that.

The Al Jazeera news article supports the war and torture part; while it mentions the threat of imprisonment the poets are facing, it doesn't explicitly say imprisonment is a source of inspiration.

While ALT0 ref doesn't say Sam Savage, ref 4 has it covered. @Favre1fan93 and Trailblazer101: there is only one problem needed to fix: there is very close paraphrasing with "holding page with some comic book related press releases and sales links on it", including in ALT2, but replacing it with "holding page containing sales links and press releases" should be fine with respect to WP:LIMITED. Another thought I had was adding the CBS or Paramount ownership to ALT2 given how important the companies are globally (especially the latter), but consider this optional. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:36, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine: I've adjusted the close paraphrasing here (I still retained at the end that they were comic book-related but let me know if that's still too much) and adjusted it in ALT2 as well.

  • Hello–I am very sorry for the delay. Article is new and long enough, well-sourced, copyvio free, QPQ done. I also think the article is fairly neutral and accurately presents the objective facts and timeline of events. I had to add two {{failed verification}} tags because I did not see those claims in any of the cited sources. If I overlooked something despite my best efforts, please let me know. Vis-a-vis the hooks: since ALT3 failed verification, we cannot use it until that is addressed. ALT1 is my preference, as it demonstrates the impact this had on the community. ALT2 I like too, more emotionally centered, but I wonder to others if it would be less interesting than the community response.

However, I have some concerns about the plot section. Although there are no specific standard for its length and the current plot summary is sourced, I think it is a bit too lengthy, as it is longer than the lead, editorial history, and reception sections combined. Trimming it down to around 400 to 700 words would be more suitable for the article, so it does not overly focus on in-universe content. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:01, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  — Yours truly, in soliloquy, 11:10 p.m., 19/8

This season on Extreme Makeover: Wikipedia Edition: A 1993 bestselling sensation that made millions for its compiler and led to several follow-ups, including a PBS animated series--and (par for the course with such ventures) a couple of competitors. (Ignoring his personal/career controversies and the age of the tales he collected.) Despite its status, its WP article never got the attention worthy of its legacy (in the 16^! years since I last chanced upon editing it), hardly moving past the few paragraphs it was allocated back then. Think of the parable of the Good Samaritan,^[1] and you'll realise my role in the proceedings this month. (Can't quite recall how I suddenly reapproached it days ago, though.)

I've heard talk that stubs are considered the ugly ducklings^[1] of this project. Well, sir, I mustered up enough courage--and sacrificed enough time--to turn this specimen into a swan nineteen-fold by the time of this nomination (according to WP:Prosesize). (Cf. my efforts on Apparition (company) back during last year's Memorial season.)

As a side note, work on this DYK candidate coincided with the U.S. political conventions.

Even though this won't lead to a coveted Four Award, I'm in the running for the other three fragments. Could this lead to my first FA star in the next three or so months? Until then, wish me luck, and stay tuned for my next DYK nomination (before this month's over).

• Approved with ALT2. New enough (submitted within 4 days of GA), more than long enough (13,120 characters). Well sourced (book, academic journal, magazines, etc.); neutral (opinions expressed attributed to sources); appears free of copyvio (Earwig says unlikely and AGF on Findon which is cited extensively and is an offline source); presentable (tidy looking GA article); and QPQ is done (back in February). Images used in the article are Wikipedia-safe (one illustration originally published in 1916; the main book cover thumbnail used in the article is "Fair Use" though slight quibble is that the "author" is not the same as "illustrator of book cover"). This leaves the hooks. ALT0 and ALT1 are rejected because "violates gender expectations" lacks contextualization within the hooks. (Feel free to rework them and propose again). ALT2 is interesting and checks out; the source attributed above, Challenging Destiny magazine edited by David M. Switzer, was a short-lived niche periodical, but its interviews are regarded as one of its strengths according to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction; in any case within the article other sources are cited which discuss the book's incorporation of elements of the Kalevala.

• ... that UnMetal is a parody of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake?

• ALT1: ... that in UnMetal, the player has to heal any enemies they shoot? Source: "... or the player being forced to use some of their limited health kits to heal enemies that they use lethal force on thanks to Fox’s insistence that he will not kill because he’s not an assassin."
• ALT2: ... that in UnMetal, the player saves their game by using a urinal? Source: "They can be difficult at first so fast save often with your portable bedpan…yes, a bedpan. Plus, you must empty it out at real save points, which are restrooms."
• ALT3: ... that the protagonist of UnMetal was originally created for a canceled game that donated money to humanitarian aid NGOs based on the player's game progress? Source: "Jesse Fox has an interesting origin story linked to a project code-named Afraid Project. It was a game in which progress made by the players would have an impact on the real world. For each successful operation performed by Jesse, there would be a donation to an NGO." This is also mentioned in the in-game digital artbook.

Overall: The plot section does not have inline sourcing, but this is not required per MOS:PLOTSOURCE. ALT2 talks about using a bedpan to save and needing to empty it to save again, which is not exactly what the hook says. It may need to be reworded if it is the hook chosen, but I believe other hooks are more interesting anyway, especially ALT3. The source provided for ALT3 does not mention humanitarian aid, but this is mentioned in other sources in the article. I believe this DYK is ready to go.

• Interesting: - The current hook is all right, but I feel like there's the potential for other hooks. For example, the fact that high school seniors can pay to assassinate other students, or the fact that some students playing the game were once held at gunpoint with a real gun.

QPQ: Done.

• @Epicgenius: Created an ALT1 per suggestions above, but not one about seniors paying other seniors to assassinate targets because (at least from personal experience) this is not allowed in most version of the game. Hope this meets your expectations, cheers! Johnson524 03:36, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for suggesting ALT1, and I understand your point that it's not common for seniors to pay to assassinate other seniors. Although both hooks are fine, I prefer ALT1. Epicgenius (talk) 03:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi Andrew Davidson, review follows: article created 19 August and exceeds minimum length; I am not familiar with the online sources used but look like they should be reliable (WhiteMAD looks to be a specialist architecture site and Note From Poland has an editorial board and policy); I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the two; a QPQ has been carried out; image is excellent, I am happy to AGF that it was published as stated on Commons in 1957 without a copyright notice which would render it PD; hook fact is interesting and stated in the article, it is covered by the MAD source but needs a citation immediately after the statement to comply with the DYK rules. I also think the clarification needed tag should be addressed before a main page appearance. Happy to review any ALT hooks you come up with, the revolving dancefloor sounds intriguing! - Dumelow (talk) 09:47, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do we think of the statement on the Commons image page that the photo has been attributed by the Warsaw Rising Museum to being a different building in Napoleon Square? The link on the Commons page only goes to the Polish Wikipedia article for the museum - Dumelow (talk) 12:26, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dumelow: Which image? Can you link it and the relevant discussions? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jarekt loaded the image and wrote those details of its provenance. Perhaps he can tell us more.

To avoid the issue, I've changed that image to a similar one that is not disputed. The clarification tag has also been removed.

The revolving dancefloor can be seen 90 seconds into this evocative video. It would be good to take a section of footage and turn it into a gif which shows it revolving but that would be technically complex and might not work well on the main page.
