This page is to nominate fresh articles to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page with a "hook" (an interesting note). Nominations that have been approved are moved to a staging area and then promoted into the Queue. To update this page, purge it.

Instructions for nominators

Frequently asked questions

How do I write an interesting hook?

Successful hooks tend to have several traits. Most importantly, they share a surprising or intriguing fact. They give readers enough context to understand the hook, but leave enough out to make them want to learn more. They are written for a general audience who has no prior knowledge of or interest in the topic area. Lastly, they are concise, and do not attempt to cover multiple facts or present information about the subject beyond what's needed to understand the hook.

When will my nomination be reviewed?

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first, it may take several weeks until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see instructions below).

Where is my hook?

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to this nominations page, it may have been approved and is on the approved nominations page waiting to be promoted. It could also have been added to one of the prep areas, 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 reviewers

Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets all the DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article to which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the supplementary guidelines and the WP:Did you know/Reviewing guide.

To post a comment or review on a DYK nomination, follow the steps outlined below:

• Look through this page, Template talk:Did you know, to find a nomination you would like to comment on.
• Click the "Review or comment" link at the top of the nomination. You will be taken to the nomination subpage.
• The top of the page includes a list of the DYK criteria. Check the article to ensure it meets all the relevant criteria.
• To indicate the result of the review (i.e., whether the nomination passes, fails, or needs some minor changes), leave a signed comment on the page. Please begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed; your comment should look something like the following:

  Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.

  If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a line :* <!-- REPLACE THIS LINE TO WRITE FIRST COMMENT, KEEPING  :* --> showing you where you should put the comment.
• Save the page.
• After the nomination is approved, a bot will automatically list the nomination page on Template talk:Did you know/Approved.

If there is any problem or concern about a nomination, please consider notifying the nominator by placing {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page.

Advanced procedures

How to promote an accepted hook

Handy copy sources: To [[T:DYK/P1|Prep 1]] To [[T:DYK/P2|Prep 2]] To [[T:DYK/P3|Prep 3]] To [[T:DYK/P4|Prep 4]] To [[T:DYK/P5|Prep 5]] To [[T:DYK/P6|Prep 6]] To [[T:DYK/P7|Prep 7]]

How to remove a rejected hook

• Open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to remove. (It's best to wait several days after a reviewer has rejected the hook, just in case someone contests or the article undergoes a large change.)
• In the window where the DYK nomination subpage is open, replace the line {{DYKsubpage with {{subst:DYKsubpage, and replace |passed= with |passed=no. Then save the page. This has the effect of wrapping up the discussion on the DYK nomination subpage in a blue archive box and stating that the nomination was unsuccessful, as well as adding the nomination to a category for archival purposes.

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 this 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 this 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.

How to move a nomination subpage to a new name

• Don't; it should not ever be necessary, and will break some links which will later need to be repaired. Even if you change the title of the article, you don't need to move the nomination page.

• Cited: N - ?
• Interesting: Y

Overall:

• For some reason, DYKcheck reports this as not sufficiently expanded, but a manual comparison of before and current (as of 20 August) shows an expansion of just over 5x prose content. So I'm accepting the length as sufficient.
• (Earwig finds some similarity with the Reuters article, although I think it's because of the quotations.) Not really an issue, imo, just wanted to note that I checked that.
• The article also needs an inline ref directly after each sentence containing a quotation – maybe just duplicate some of the refs.
• Currently the hook prose is in the lede, but the source cited there does only speak of "more than 120 dead", which is not what's written there. It would probably be better to write this as "65(inline one) to 120(inline two) dead" or something. The "150" currently in the hook is definitely wrong – this many were wounded, according to US News (btw this is not cited in the infobox).
• The article needs some copyediting, for example "The airstrike hit the residential area in dedicated to the plant workers." I can help with that if needed, although some things are quite obvious.

Nothing major and all these things can be fixed. @Mhhossein best ping me when you are done. --LordPeterII (talk) 10:23, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you LordPeterII. The CNBC source clearly says "a power plant in Mokha that killed at least 120 people". I have changed the lead wording so that it shows the correct sourcing for the number of dead and will as GOCE to copyedit the page. How about the following hook:

Alt1: ... that the bombing of Mokha in Yemen by Saudi Arabia-led coalition was described as of the "deadliest" attacks by Saudi Arabia against Yemen, leaving 65 – more than 120 dead including 10 children?

--Mhhossein ^talk 13:09, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Mhhossein: My issue was primarily with the hook fact not corresponding to a cited article sentence. This is now resolved, but I find that with the dash it looks weird. How about instead:

• ALT2: ... that the Bombing of Mokha was described as one of the "deadliest" attacks by a Saudi Arabian–led coalition against Yemen, leaving between 65 and more than 120 dead?

This removes also the duplicate "Saudi Arabia" and "Yemen", so the hook is shorter and I think it is still very clear. --LordPeterII (talk) 17:01, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Okay I just realized I also removed the "children" part, feel free to add that back in (I was worried it would be too long, but with the dupicate country names removed it is quite short now). And I also piped a link to the Saudi coalition, not sure if you want that or not. You can propose another modified hook if you want, until we find something we both like. --LordPeterII (talk) 17:04, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks, then I suggest going with the version including the children toll.

• ALT2a: ... that the Bombing of Mokha was described as one of the "deadliest" attacks by a Saudi Arabian–led coalition against Yemen, leaving between 65 and more than 120 dead, including 10 children?

It is 186 characters which is not too long. --Mhhossein ^talk 10:32, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• @AntonioMartin: This looks like it's shaping up to be a fairly important article. (Great choice of topic!) However, there is quite a bit more work required before it's ready to be featured in the DYK section of the main page. There are entire sections written now that appear to border on original research (e.g., your interpretation of BoxRec stats). In addition, the extensive use of bare URLs as references is problematic (per WP:BAREURLS). I've suggested one way to quickly format the BoxRec pages using the first example; for other suggestions, see WP:Inline citations
  , and/or consider using Visual Editor as it's super fast to generate and re-use citations, without having to manually re-enter them every time.

Would you be able to go through the article once more to try to fix these issues? At minimum, each paragraph should have an inline citation. It's especially important to make sure that you're citing sources with care, and that they actually make the points you are making. I noticed that sometimes you were adding details that you either knew from somewhere else or were drawing your own conclusions (e.g. saying "around this time" repeatedly) to try to fill in the narrative with your own words. When in doubt, say less; by saying less you will find that what you do say has more impact. You have more than enough text now, so don't be afraid to make cuts.

Hi Cielquiparle..thanks for your kind words regarding my updates on the article. TBH, the last few days I have been working hard at the Wiki, with this article as well as creating Salixto Medina and Daniel Guerrero.

Antonio the Handsomest Martin (the talk page) 12:14, 4 August, 2022 (UTC)

AntonioMartin, it's been over three weeks, and the article still has a large number of bare URLs, and has been tagged for this issue; if there are any bare URLs at all, it cannot run at DYK. I hope you'll be able to address these—plus the other concerns raised by Cielquiparle—within the next seven days; if not, this nomination is likely to be closed as unsuccessful. Best of luck!

Hi User:BlueMoonset and User:PMCH2! I need to apologize for not answering earlier. I had been busy these last few days taking care of a new article (Aviation in Puerto Rico) and of personal matters. To answer you both, I tried addressing the bare URL's but the website I used said that no changes were needed. Then, as far as the fight details, I just used the fight's youtube video. Now, I know Im not the ultimate authority but, in cases like these, where you can see actions taking place on video, I think that You Tube is as good and reliable a source as any others.

Special thanks to PMCH2 for cleaning up so many bare URLs! Per AntonioMartin's comment, I will now watch the YouTube video to see if there is a straightforward way to format the remaining sections lacking inline citations, or if there is further work to be done.

Ossian D'Ambrosio

• ... that Ossian D'Ambrosio regards his involvement in both modern Druidry and heavy metal music as good for his personal balance? Source: La Stampa ("Come Ossian riesca a conciliare tanta oscurità con la sua attività druidica alla festa celtica è presto spiegato. «La donna ha quattro archetipi, l'uomo soltanto due: una parte oscura e una solare, l'inverno e l'estate, lo sciamano e il cacciatore. Quando suono emerge la prima parte, quella più notturna, questo mi permette di stare in equilibrio."

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: N - Possible issue with the citation on the second hook

Of the two I think the second hook is the more interesting one, however the source used for that hook (which has only been discussed briefly at RSN is being flagged as having questionable reliability via the User:Headbomb/unreliable script. It appears to be an encyclopedia that is itself citing other sources, but it does appear to be a less-than-stellar source. Would you be able to find a different source that supports this content? That's the only potential issue I can find. Aoidh (talk) 23:01, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

Added a supplementary Italian-language source ("...l'autore, che da tempo di occupa di occulto, prima come musicista della seminale band di pagan metal Opera IX, poi come druido e organizzatore del raduno celtico di Beltane." [...the author, who has been involved in the occult for a long time, first as a musician of the seminal pagan metal band Opera IX, later as druid and organizer of the Celtic Beltane gathering.] But I also kept Wrldrels, because I don't see what the problem is, and per WP:RSUE we should prioritise English-language sources. Wrldrels is written and edited by scholars and neutral in content and tone. In the link you posted the criticism consists of guilt by association with Massimo Introvigne and his organisation CESNUR. A quick search gives the indication that Wikipedia's problem with CESNUR has to do with its coverage of Scientology. There was a wave of interest in that on Wikipedia and other parts of the Internet in the late 2000s, and apparently CESNUR wasn't deemed critical enough. Whether that's a fair assessment or not, Wrldrels isn't CESNUR, the article here isn't by Introvigne, and the new religious movement here isn't Scientology. Ffranc (talk) 11:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I did a little more digging and it does seem like you're right that the CESNUR link is the issue with World Religions and Spirituality Project, which I was fine with discounting initially but I did more digging and it turns out that one of the two authors of your source is Stefania Palmisano, who it turns out serves on the CESNUR board of directors (the other author is a grad student). Given CESNUR's apparent biases in the area that this source is discussing, I don't think we can use it as a reliable source, especially per WP:SCHOLARSHIP as I could find no evidence of it being reviewed by the wider academic community in any way. Unfortunately the lastampa.it source doesn't say he approached modern paganism because of music, just that he was a musician before he was a druid and organizer. If possible I would suggest finding a more solid source for the second hook, but how about this for a hook:

• ALT2: ... that Ossian D'Ambrosio is an Italian heavy metal musician, artisan jeweler, and modern Druidry organizer?
• ALT3: ... that Ossian D'Ambrosio is a jeweler, an ecological modern druid organizer, author, journalist, and the founder of a symphonic heavy metal band?

It's interesting that he does all of those things and might be a good alternative to the hooks above. Do you think you'd be able to find a source for the journalist part that isn't the the WRSP source? - Aoidh (talk) 00:01, 11 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm fine with any of the alts. I removed "journalist" from the article and switched to "writer" in the lead, since he has written two books. The one other source I found for journalism only mentions that he writes for his organisation's publication, so it might be limited to that, and then it's not really worth mentioning.

But I still don't buy that there's any problem with the WRSP. The academic credentials are clearly there, and if there is to be an exception you need to provide something more substantial than guilt by association with CESNUR. Stefania Palmisano is an associate professor at the University of Turin and responsible for various academic publications. WRSP is directed by David G. Bromley, a professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University, which publishes the website. Lots of mainstream scholars are or have been involved in CESNUR in various capacities, because it's a prominent institution within the study of new religious movements. Having a connection to CESNUR doesn't mean that the credibility and reliability of other publications suddenly disappear, as if CESNUR carries some kind of plague that everything else must be kept at a safe distance from. Evidently, that isn't how scholars treat it: neither Palmisano, Bromley nor the Virginia Commonwealth University are treated as suspicious and unreliable. Ffranc (talk) 13:22, 11 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've started a discussion at RSN here since so much of the article is dependent on this source, which does seem to be potentially problematic; I'd like a wider input before moving forward. In the meantime if you're able to find different sources that can be used we could potentially sidestep the whole issue, and three sources have been mentioned to me as potential sources if you wanted to check them out and see if they could possibly be used: [2][3][4] - Aoidh (talk) 02:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Given the discussion and journalist part being removed, this is the current proposed hook:

The RSN discussion is now archived here. It got a response from one user, who did not see any problem with the source. Aoidh, you didn't write anything more in the noticeboard discussion after your initial post, but do you still think there is something wrong with using the WRSP as a source, or can you approve the original hooks now?

• Fascinating biography. Article is more than long enough, new enough (nominated within one day of being moved into main space), copyvio unlikely per Earwig. QPQ is done. Several issues that jump out at the moment: 1) The actual text of the hook doesn't actually appear anywhere in the actual article besides the lede, where it doesn't cite a specific source, so this needs to be addressed somehow. (At minimum, cite a source in the lede, and/or expand on the "one of the first" claim within the article body, citing a specific source.) 2) The source cited above (within the DYK nomination) is a YouTube interview with the subject, so it's a primary source, although the text within the YouTube video description by the Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project does say she "subsequently became one of the first female electrical utility workers anywhere in the United States." It would be preferable if this citation were clearer (that you are citing the Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project rather than Megan Cornish herself, perhaps by pointing to their web site or including the relevant text within the footnote or endnote); even better if there are additional secondary sources to back up the claim. 3) There are several paragraphs within the article that end with no citations. Perhaps the implication is that the relevant source is contained within the subsequent paragraph, but this is Wikipedia and the risk is high that text will get moved around in unexpected ways, and it would be better to have a footnote at the end of every paragraph, rather than leaving it looking like uncited content. 4) In general, the article relies heavily on primary sources (video interviews with the subject herself). I would strongly advise taking another pass through the article and trying to see where you can work in more content (facts and/or analysis) from secondary sources to balance it out, as this is likely to raise flags. It may also make it easier to trim the article a bit and make it sound a bit more encyclopedic. A few adjustments along these lines could make a big difference.

• @Cielquiparle: the fact in the hook, and cited in the hook is found here, "In 1974, Cornish was persuaded by Clara Fraser, a cofounder of Radical Women and education coordinator at Seattle City Light, to apply for a position as an Electrical Trades Trainee (ETT), an all-female affirmative action program designed by Fraser to integrate women into the electrical trades." @LordPeterII: , I was waiting for the GOCE coy edit before finishing the clean-up. --evrik ^(talk) 14:24, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Article is new enough and long enough. An interesting story, thank you for bringing it here. The hook is quite interesting. I have a few concerns with sourcing, however. There's quite a few sources used that are not fully independent from the author, and these are typically not sources we should use for anything besides besides biographical detail. For instance, content about what grants an academic has received might be worth including if an independent source comments on it, but when it's coming from a contributor profile that the subject likely wrote, it looks promotional even if that wasn't the intent. I'm uncertain about the hook as well; it's sourced to the web-page of a the Department he belonged to. For an exceptional claim, I'm not sure that's strong enough. I recommend pruning career detail that isn't supported by an independent source; there's enough material here, surely. I would be happy to give this another look. While you're at it, there's a little bit of WP:PROSELINE that's worth fixing too. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:11, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

• While I agree with not approving the nom, I don't agree with simply failing it, either. Clearly, this is a case of "more work needed". Personally, I feel like the company & the article both seem pretty boring: For example, there's a ton of info about the historical size of the office space, which I don't see why it would be helpful for any reader. Same with days needed to produce something, or whatever that is supposed to say. The article could be trimmed down a lot, and that might help with the feeling of it being "off". It doesn't have the usual issues with tone – none of the usual advertisement words like "great", "biggest" and so forth, just lots of technical details.

I do find ALT0 to be moderately interesting, while ALT1 is again rather technical. As a side note: I personally prefer if company names aren't shown directly on the front page, so e.g. a company (piped) instead of In Win Development; but this is just my opinion and by no means a DYK rule. --LordPeterII (talk) 13:14, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, @LordPeterII:, thank you for the in-depth review and criticism (and sorry for this late reply). I've restructured the article, including moving the manufacturing information to its own section, to make the article less of a slog to read. However, I'm not sure what to do about the boring nitty-gritty. I really don't think there's any information to leave out, as I consider the details of manufacturing encyclopedic in demystifying what it takes to manufacture a standard PC case. Perhaps some of it could go to Computer case, but I don't know how applicable the information is to other players in the industry. DigitalIceAge (talk) 21:35, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@DigitalIceAge: It looks a bit better after the restructuring. I can follow your reasoning about whether or not to move some technical stuff to computer case, and I'm not sure either.

• After reading the article, I've placed {{Overly detailed}} on the article. Although that's not explicitly listed at WP:DISPUTETAG, {{POV}} is probably applicable as well. In its current state, the article certainly needs "considerable work", so I just can't see this passing review. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:04, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply
  ]

I have, begrudgingly, removed the "intricate detail" listed in the {{Overly detailed}} tag from the article, @RoySmith:. As for POV, I don't know what to tell you. I have tried really, really hard to make it as neutral as possible. It seems some people have a tabloidesque conception on how articles on corporations should read these days. Not every company article is destined to have a big scandal or human-interest stories behind them. Some like this are just going to be simple and boring. (Not that some interesting elements can't be DYK-hook-worthy.) I have had numerous promotions under my belt of computer companies just like this (see DTK Computer, Advanced Logic Research, Canon Computer Systems, Monorail Inc.). I'm not seeing a huge difference between those and this one for In Win—except that In Win is still in business. DigitalIceAge (talk) 17:26, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@

in this case. As DigitalIceAge has pointed out, they have had several similar articles passed, and I believe them that they are a "tech enthusiast" who has little reason to breach WP:NPOV. Can you point out specific places in the article that would sound POV to you, or which remain overly detailed? NPOV is a requirement at DYK, but I believe we should give people a chance at fixing them if it's not obviously an attempt at (self-)promotion. –LordPickleII (talk) 21:24, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

I'm confused. You said you didn't want to continue the review because you wanted another viewpoint. And then... you didn't like the other viewpoint you got? In any case, the problem with promotional style was pointed out in the original review back on August 8. So they had almost a month to work fixing it. Not to mention that "they had other submissions accepted" has absolutely no bearing on whether this one should be accepted. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:24, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I asked about the supposed POV issues then and in the leadup to the AFD and got no feedback in return. Tried fixing it anyway. I can't read minds. DigitalIceAge (talk) 22:36, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@RoySmith: Yes, maybe that was a bit short-sighted of me. But I meant fresh view insofar as someone who could point out errors better than myself, who had participated in the AfD and stuff. And I can totally respect your opinion, even that you wouldn't accept it; but could you anyway point out what specifically you find is wrong? It's just not as helpful to put templates and not much more. If DigitalIceAge is actually unwilling or unable to fix the issues, then it can still fail; but consider giving them a chance. The argument about the other submission is only meant to highlight that POV isn't an editor issue here, and they may have trouble seeing why or where this article requires work, when the others didn't. Again, I'm not saying your assessment is wrong, just that it's hard to work with if the nominator is willing. This is the same for the original review, which pointed out general concerns, but no hints on how to potentially fix them. –LordPickleII (talk) 23:19, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I really don't want to answer "what specifically needs to be fixed", because that would imply that if those particular things were fixed, then it would pass review. The problem is deeper than that. The whole piece is low-level detail which doesn't really say anything about the company in general. In my mind, this is more of a WP:TNT than "just fix x, y, and z". At this point, I'm going to respectfully suggest that you let this be and we can both move on to other more useful things. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:32, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@RoySmith: That's unfortunate, but if this is your final opinion on the article I guess nothing can be done otherwise. Sorry to have bothered you again. –LordPickleII (talk) 23:38, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

"The problem is deeper than that. The whole piece is low-level detail which doesn't really say anything about the company in general." What? "In my mind, this is more of a WP:TNT than 'just fix x, y, and z'" LOL what??? It's a computer case manufacturer that manufactures computer cases. Anything else is just an expansion of that fact. All the complaints about promotional content so far have been intangible and pretty much boil down to "I don't like it". There's no rule that articles on active businesses can't run on DYK. I didn't write this to pimp their products; I write about what I write about for fun. DigitalIceAge (talk) 00:09, 5 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

Coming here due to a request for a second look. For what it's worth, "low-level detail which doesn't really say anything about the company in general" can be interpreted as being under one of the supplementary guidelines. Specifically, the one saying that reviews can fail a nomination if the article does not give an adequate enough overview about the company. As for the article itself, most of the advert-like tone has been addressed. However, there are still some traces of it left: for example "80 strong", which I'm aware is technically correct, but using "[number] strong" when referring to the number of people involved is weird for an encyclopedia article as you usually see such wording in press releases or other promotional material. I don't think I'm in the position to do a new review of the article, except that I feel that the article seems light on details between what happened between 1985 and 2004. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:32, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: That strong part was indeed something I noticed as well; although as you pointed out, it's technically correct, it just can also be interpreted as promotional. In any case it was likely very helpful for DigitalIceAge to have such an issue pointed out; the refusal to do so in some reviews above I found to be quite irritating.

As for it breaching a supplementary rule, I'm not convinced. D7 seems the one applicable (if I understand correctly), which states: Articles that fail to deal adequately with the topic are also likely to be rejected. For example, an article about a book that fails to summarize the book's contents, but contains only a bio of the author and some critics' views, is likely to be rejected as insufficiently comprehensive. At least with the example given, it sounds like the opposite of the issue at hand: A book article that is missing important parts like its plot is, in my opinion, clearly worse than a book article that contains excessive detail e.g. on plot and characters, but also all necessary parts. Such issues are not to be dismissed, but I would rather see them as preventing a GA pass. I can see that D13 applies, which states To some extent, DYK approval is a subjective process and Just because an unfamiliar criterion is not listed does not mean a nomination cannot be disqualified. But we must then accept that those were subjective decisions, which are not perfectly obvious and could be debated. I haven't been around for very long, but I don't think I have seen "excessive detail" and "minor promotional wording" as blocking reasons before. As issues, yes, just not as "unsolvable". –LordPickleII (talk) 09:20, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As far as I can recall, there have been a few nominations that were held back (not failed) due to the "incomplete article" guideline. They weren't failed, but the nominations were put on hold until the articles were expanded further. I can't remember the exact article, but I think it once happened to a book DYK nomination that was mostly about the plot and not much else. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:44, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Putting such noms at hold sound totally reasonable to me. I mean, I can see that this nom may need some work, too. Failing it completely is what irritates me. Anyway, I'm also not in a position to review, and will step out of this discussion now.

• 
• General eligibility:
• New Enough: Y
• Long Enough: Y
• Other problems: N - I wasn't clear whether this article needed to be a five-fold expansion of the section on Gaius' page, to qualify for DYK. If that is the case, it is not long enough. But it doesn't actually include content from that section. It has enough prose for a new article to qualify.

Overall:

Not sure if this needs to be a 5x expansion of section on Gaius' page to meet eligibility. Currently it is not. After reading the comments, I have decided to approve, since the editor made good faith effort to add new material to Wikipedia. PMCH2 (talk) 14:24, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

• • @PMCH2: Thanks a lot for your review and the valuable time and effort spent on it. I try to address your points in turn: (a) As I read WP:DYKCRIT it states that "freely reuse public domain text per Wikipedia's usual policy [...] is excluded both from the 1,500 minimum character count for new articles". As I did not reuse any content from Gaius (jurist), I think this cuts in favour of my nomination as I did created content from scratch above the 1,500-character mark and did not expanded upon the material from the Gaius (jurist) section. The prose is entirely new. (b) I have amended one citation according to your second point: In the pages now cited, it is (in my opinion) clearly stated that Niebuhr was on his way to Rome on a diplomatic mission. If you remain unconvinced, I could also cite page 7 of the book by Varvaro. (c) Personally, I consider my hook a little bit more interesting due to the curious word palimpsest and the diplomatic implications (being an academic researcher on a diplomatic mission), but if you think ALT1 is better, I happily defer to you. (d) As I read the sources it is not disputed that Niebuhr was dispatched to Rome on a diplomatic mission, but it is disputed whether there was another "clandestine" reason behind the dispatch, i.e., to find and obtain the already discovered manuscript; in my mind this is compatible with the original hook. Thanks again! WatkynBassett (talk) 16:22, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • @WatkynBassett: Thanks for all your work on this article. It is interesting and obviously historically important. Thanks also for the quick edit on footnotes. Regarding the first hook, I don't find it all that "hooky" but maybe others would. It's ok with me to use it. I'll take it on good faith that the academic dispute doesn't negate the facts of the hook. There isn't a specific footnote, so I can't check the source to see what the specific claims are. (My German isn't good enough to make reading the whole article practical.) PMCH2 (talk) 18:29, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Regarding eligibility: I am still not sure this isn't a case where a five-fold expansion is warranted. This is a new page with new content, yes, but it is replacing a redirect that led to content about the Institutes. If you had copied said text and added it to your new article, the new article would have had to be a 5x expansion to qualify. If the content about the Institutes had originally been a stub, you would have had to expand five-fold. Since it was a sub-section of another page, but you didn't use any of that text, the question is, does that also require 5x expansion? Maybe another reviewer with more experience could weigh in on this issue? If no one else comments, I will assume it is eligible for DYK as is. PMCH2 (talk) 18:29, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • @PMCH2: Perfect, thanks! If I understood you correctly, I have addressed most of your concerns, but not the eligibility issue.

    • Is there another reviewer who could weigh in on the eligibility regarding length for this nomination? As I read the rules, an article that includes text spun off of an existing article can't be considered "new" and a former redirect has to be a 5x expansion. This is a great article, with >1500 characters of prose, but has some overlap with the section on Gaius' page concerning the topic. By my reading, it should properly be a 5x expansion for consideration as a DYK nom., but I would welcome a more experienced reviewer's perspective. Thanks!

        • @LordPeterII: I'd discourage you from the thought that you need some kind of tenure to call it the way you see it. Sure, practice and reading helps, but the easiest way to learn is generally to jump in. To quote the host of Dropout's Game Changer: "The only way to learn is by playing; the only way to win is by learning; and the only way to begin is by beginning; so, without further ado, let's begin!"
          Tricky. The rules on text copying were designed to insure that the content featured on DYK is truly new, rather than an effortless split. It could be argued that – despite this new article showing no signs of being copied, or even a close paraphrase or a simple rearrangement – creating a new article that touches on the same basic facts violates the spirit of DYK's definition of new content.
          However, I'd be inclined to reward a production of a good-faith article where the rules don't explicitly forbid it. It would also set a burdensome precedent if DYK reviewers had to check not only that the article's prose was original, but that the very research had yet to be unearthed on the encyclopedia thus far. In the interest of cordiality and simplicity, I'd be inclined to IAR where necessary and pass this nomination, on the assumption that this article was not intended as a split of its previous redirect target. :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:08, 11 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• To ensure a lack of ambiguity, I wonder if it's possible if the article be brought to GA status, and if it passes, it be treated as a new GA rather than a new/expanded article.

• I agree with theleekycauldron that the page deserves credit for being genuine new material to Wikipedia. I was just hesitant to approve, without more experience on how redirects are handled. I found the various rules confusing as written. I really have no objection to approving the article for DYK if there isn't an established precedent against it. I just wasn't sure what has been done in these kinds of cases. It sounds like there isn't a rule against it, so I have updated my review.- PMCH2 (talk) 19:49, 11 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Overall:

Article is looking good, but there are some minor issues. Will go into detail below. --LordPeterII (talk) 12:07, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

@Willthacheerleader18: Issues I have:

• This part "Guinness was granted permission to marry him, and the two wed in 1900. Her husband, who was raised Jewish and converted to Catholicism, converted to Anglicanism in order to marry her" still needs to have an inline reference.
• We need a (pictured) in the hook following her name.
• The hook is not very interesting as written, and more importantly not really about her, but her husband. It's nice that he painted her, but what do we learn about Lucy de László? Barely anything. I'd suggest rephrasing that so it puts more emphasis on her life. Like that they met while studying (so we learn that she studied and wasn't just married off), was of nobility while he wasn't, or that he did not only paint her, but also the Austrian emperor and the pope before being allowed to marry her? I'll think about how to write that, but maybe you can also come up with something.
• I've also found this book which goes into some detail on their later life, when she apparently had some international correspondence, their family was questioned, and also she lost her nationality on marriage (?). You can probably decide better what would fit into the article, but I think there's some interesting things in there. From what I could find the publisher seems reliable. (On the husband alone, the Guardian also reports here.)

I agree on the picture btw, it looks splendid. --LordPeterII (talk) 12:24, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Peter, that hook is what interested me about her as without this fact/picture she is mostly "daughter of" and "wife of". Maybe your new source reveals more. There are models who have their own articles and I'm intrigued that she they took any notice of being told not to marry - I don't think thats just about him. Is there any point in putting (pictured) after a hook that says this picture? I'm off on holiday so please assume this nomination is withdrawn unless someone else wants to offer a hook and QPQ. Thanks. Victuallers (talk) 16:13, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Victuallers: Indeed, wife and daughter alone are not what we should focus on. I missed the this painting part. Let me try to come up with a slightly different hook then:

• ALT1 ... that Lucy de László was painted (painting shown) by her husband whom she met while studying, who wasn't allowed to marry her until after he had painted the Austrian emperor and the pope?

It's worded a bit cheeky, as of course painting these exact people wasn't the requirement, but he nevertheless was only permitted afterwards since it meant he was famous/respected.

As for withdrawing, I'd be saddened (although I understand and wish you nice holidays). Maybe @Willthacheerleader18 you are interested in pitching in as the author? --LordPeterII (talk) 06:47, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Victuallers, the hook you proposed would have run afoul of WP:DYKSG#C9, No parentheses in the hook unless absolutely unavoidable. The (pictured) (or equivalent) for the image slot is an exception., so some rewording was inevitable. Might I suggest ALT1a as addressing some other issues, though a QPQ does have to be provided by someone:

• ALT1a ... that Lucy de László was painted (portrait shown) by her husband, whom she met while studying, but they were not allowed to marry until after he had painted the Austrian emperor and the pope?

However, if the hook is to run as is, a source will have to be found that places the portrait of Pope Leo XIII before the wedding occurred—all we have is the date, 1900, for both. If that can't be found, "and the pope" will have to be deleted. Indeed, the year of their marriage is unsourced at present, and would need to be so for the hook to run at all. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:20, 16 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@BlueMoonset: Good catch, I was under the impression there was a connection based on the prose currently in the article. However, you are right, this was only inferred by me and is not in the sources. Indeed, I have found this, which gives several details needed, also correcting the children to five (btw, their number in the husband's article is currently sourced to a picture?!). I don't have time for this right now, but may return later for some adjustments. And yeah we need a different hook, because the permission to marry apparently dates to 1898. --LordPeterII (talk) 15:34, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I brought text from the current version of that same article with this edit, and in my edit comment provided attribution as required by the WP:CWW guideline.

Hi Onceinawhile - Many thanks for addressing my points so quickly! I somehow missed that the able2know-part was a backwards copy, thanks for clarifying this in detail.

@

hi there! I had promoted this, but reverted after checking the length of the hook. At 203 characters, it weighs in (heh) a little too long. Might I suggest the shorter: theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 09:21, 3 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

• ALT1: ... that "Big Jim" lost his fight (pictured) to prove that "a white man is better than a Negro"?

Hi @Theleekycauldron: thank you for looking at this further. I had always understood there was some (minor) flexibility in the 200 rule ("…no more than about 200 characters…")

I do like the concision of your alternate, but I think it loses the deep significance of the event. Sounds more like it is an overconfident racist in a bar-fight. Actually it was the first time in history that a black person defeated the person considered (by white America) top of their field in any professional sport. I don’t have a written source stating that so directly, but the National Museum of African American History and Culture has a whole room dedicated to it which places it in that context. The NYT comment is the most impactful way of communicating its import that I could find. Onceinawhile (talk) 12:49, 3 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• @Theleekycauldron: Thanks for chiming in and the nice pun! I saw it like Onceinawhile that some minor flexibility in hook length is possible. If this is not the case, I would prefer using the original hook with their first names ("Jack beat James") to shorten the hook. The admirable short ALT1-hook in my mind carries the risk of being misunderstood: One could misread it in a way that James lost his fight on purpose to further his opponent's cause.

  • I would counter that with recent similar expansions in RPS of list articles, notwithstanding tables, that I've nominated and that appeared at DYK. (i.e. Judy Ann Santos filmography, List of awards and nominations received by Judy Ann Santos) Similarly, examples of other lists that have appeared at DYK which were expansions and which I've used as guidance (i.e. Brad Pitt filmography, Rod Steiger on screen and stage) --Pseud 14 (talk) 18:46, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Pseud 14, the article prior to expansion was 1299 prose characters, requiring an expansion to 6495 prose characters to meet the 5x requirement, which traditionally has no flex to it. The article is currently 3017 prose characters, less than half the required length post-expansion. Unless you can more than double the amount of prose currently in the article, this simply cannot pass at DYK. Note that the two Judy Ann Santos articles had minuscule amounts of text—126 and 293 prose characters respectively—so a 5x expansion was less than the minimum 1500 prose characters required for every DYK nomination, and the pre-expansion Steiger and Pitt articles had even fewer prose characters each than either Santos. In this case, the article started out with much more prose, and thus needed a much greater expansion. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:10, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An Earwig check pulls up some sentences that are worryingly close to text on this source, so please rewrite the sentences.

Please resolve the close paraphrasing issue, and this should be OK. Very interesting hook. Perhaps an additional explanatory note for dhole such as "mountain wolf" or even "fire wolf" would make the hook even more attention grabbing. The source given for supporting the cite is in Vietnamese, and Google Translate doesn't show "dhole" but it does seem to interpret the word as "fire wolf" which is pretty catchy. I did notice that the dhole statement is also supported by other English language sources, such as the one with the paraphrasing issue, so it's all good. A dog pic would definitely draw eyes to DYK so I'd encourage you to suggest one of the images in the article for DYK. Mabalu (talk) 09:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

@Mabalu: Thanks for your suggestions, I rewrote the hook. Sói lửa does literally translate as "fire wolf," and its the term I'm most familiar with for Cuon alpinus, the Asian dhole. Here's a link to the Vietnamese Wikipedia on Dholes. I dug out my Vietnamese dictionary just to triple check but it gave me "chó rừng" which means "wild dog" nonspecifically or jackal, as in the African jackals. (Incidentally, chó rừng translates literally as "forest dog.")

I'll correct the paraphrasing! Two members of the Native Vietnamese Breed Preservation Society helped me to write this and now I know why they liked it so much. Annwfwn (talk) 00:23, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Annwfwn: I like the rewritten hook even more! Unfortunately, there are still issues with paraphrasing. The problem sentences are: "In their territory, they are alert without signs of shyness nor fear. The breed has strong instincts to protect the owner's property." and are duplicated on the source link. Please could you rephrase? Also, if we are putting fire wolves in the hook, then we should add a note to the article about fire wolves. All text in a hook should be echoed by the article. I suggest this small edited version and am also proposing a couple of pics for the hook.

  @Omer123hussain:, thanks, the citation issue has been addressed. However, there are still issues with the prose. I'm not demanding that you handle it yourself, given that English isn't your first language, but if you cannot, you need to ask for help from people you can. I already suggested GOCE as one venue; another might be WT:INB, where a more experienced editor may be willing to rewrite the prose. I am not personally willing to promote this as it stands. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:04, 13 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  I'd also like to ping @Nolabob again. Not because I want to accuse you of negligence, but because I want to point out that these issues were present in the article you reviewed and likely escaped your attention. It almost got promoted here as well, because at a glance the article looked fine, when in detail, there were clear errors present. In the future, you might need to be more thorough with the prose itself when doing GA reviews. –LordPeterII (talk) 16:04, 13 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• On an unrelated note, the image is a computer-generated simulation of a reconstructed earlier form of what was later cut into the Hope diamond, not a photo and not of the diamond as it appears now. We should not combine it with a caption that suggests it to be an actual image of the Hope diamond. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• @David Eppstein: Indeed, I raised this question back when the nom was still in prep. The information in the article is correct (after I researched a bit on the image), but that it was presented incorrectly in the caption here earlier is another of those several mistakes that have been found. I suggest Computer reconstruction of the French Blue, previous form of the Hope diamond or something similar. –LordPeterII (talk) 21:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Overall:

The article doesn't explicitly say he held concerts and events in "an empty church" at St. Martin in Sindelfingen I know it says He founded the Sindelfinger Bachtage festival and a project "Raum geben - die leere Martinskirche" (Give space - the empty church St. Martin), with interdisciplinary concert and service formats but I think this should be reworded to make it clearer. Other than that, after a QPQ is done, this nomination is good to go. Steelkamp (talk) 13:05, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

Oh. I didn't realise the church wasn't actually empty. I've moved the quotation marks in the hook as I think that makes it a bit clearer. I take it that the empty church is just a name?

Thank you for the offer but why would anybody click on that? - Certainly not me.

That suggestion seems really long and doesn't get straight to the point, the point being he was a church director at such a young age. Mentioning the Württemberg part would just distract from the hook point. We recently had a discussion over at WT:DYKSTATS that showed that long and winding hooks tended to underperform clicks-wise, and so it may be a good idea in this case to focus on one main good point rather than trying to juggle two or more hook facts, since the latter could make people less inclined to learn more about Hanke.

How about the following: you make your hooks as you like them, and let me make my hooks as I like them. We have a limit of 200 chars, and no goal to be as short and general as possible. Some day - hopefully in a distant future - Mr. Hanke will die, and the hook go to the list, and having said no more than that he started early seems to do no justice to what he achieved. - I placed the age 14 at the end because you taught me to get the punch to the end. For the superlative-seekers:

ALT1b: ... that Matthias Hanke (pictured), who was organist and led a church choir at the age of 14, went on to become the youngest Kirchenmusikdirektor in Württemberg? - However, Landeskirchenmusikdirektor is a far higher position (region vs. district), and by now a younger one may exist. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This might seem daft, but the hook fact is not explicitly stated in the article (merely that Panza "endorsed" and "advised", not that it was "named after" him), nor is it actually found in the source (probably because it's obvious).

@Philafrenzy, Whispyhistory, Gerda Arendt, and Theleekycauldron: I've reopened this as I have a query about the image - the licence template at File:Venu Chitale at the BBC.jpg

says that the image must meet one of these conditions:

Which of these three have you deemed it to meet? And how sure are we that (a) its author is unknown, and (b) it was made public more than 70 years ago or that it was never made public? The template also says "If you wish to rely on it, please specify in the image description the research you have carried out to find who the author was", which doesn't seem to be present at the moment. It's a lovely image, so would like to be able to use it in the hook, but we need to make sure it's properly licensed. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 13:47, 5 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Amakuru:... I don't know how to do this. The image is no where to be found in any book or other publication until the recent appearance in the BBC one. There is no author linked to it and it was certainly taken before 1947, when she left England.The BBC archives do not include this image... if still a problem, then leave it out. It would appear to come under A photograph, which has never previously been made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) and which was taken more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1952 unless any one else knows otherwise, in which case leave it out. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:41, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Perhaps we could use this one from 1944 (with the watermark removed) which must have been taken by an anonymous BBC photographer. It would appear to qualify under either the first or second points. I don't think we are required to take heroic measures to identify the photographer, and I doubt the BBC would know now. Even if we identified the photographer, the copyrght, now lapsed, would have belonged to the BBC, not the photographer, and they in fact claim that it did or does on the page.

@PCN02WPS, Ezlev, and Kavyansh.Singh: I'm reopening this nom, as the hook fact appears to be inaccurate.

That is quite disappointing but thanks Amakuru for pointing this out.

• Article appears to meet requirements and no close paraphrasing was found. A QPQ has been done. I do not have access to the source for the original hook so AGF on that. However, I do wonder if this "it's the only Book of Mormon story with sex" thing is widely considered as fact among the LDS community, because if not then it may be better to add attribution to the hook. As for ALT1, it may need revising since it implies that the writer's contempt charge was directly caused by the film, whereas the actual article leaves this part ambiguous (it's not clear if why he told the judge to "shut up" was directly because of the film or for something unrelated).

• Hi Narutolovehinata5. I know the BYU Studies website has been down, but if you wait long enough, hopefully the source for the original hook should load. It's difficult to prove a negative, but as someone who has read the Book of Mormon multiple times and is a practicing member, the claim rings true for me. The source for the information was published in BYU Studies (BYU is a university sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) so I don't think they're trying to pull a fast one on anyone. We could redact it to read "one of the only stories in the Book of Mormon with any sex in it" if you're nervous about such a definitive statement, but I don't think the qualification is necessary. I don't think that ALT2 is all that misleading, but you're correct that the article is ambiguous about why he was in court. I added a sentence to clarify that the instance where Bean was in court and told the judge to shut up was part of the many lawsuits following the movie's release (presumably about its financing). Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:23, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• There's an LDS Living article that mentions "Sexuality and chastity are sensitive subjects, and the Book of Mormon gives very few hints about how Book of Mormon peoples understood them. You might recall Jacob’s sermon about how “many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds” due to whoredoms and wickedness (Jacob 2:35), or Alma’s talk with his son Corianton about forsaking a mission to pursue "the harlot Isabel" (Alma 39:3), or the terrible violence described in Moroni 9:9." This is a list of all the places in the Book of Mormon where sex is alluded to. The other mentions in Jacob 2:35 and in Moroni 9:9 discuss sex from a detached and more general standpoint, and aren't really a story where a person in the book has an illicit relationship like in Corianton. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 20:12, 12 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Such an extraordinary statement would need very strong sourcing and even your LDS Living source doesn't seem to explicitly state "this is the only story about sex in the Book of Mormon".

Overall:

• Earwig's finds a possible copyright violation, and it's because of the original Spanish quote, which is currently as a note in the article. Do we need it, or can we just assume good faith in your translation skills? I've honestly not much experience with such issues, and would ask a senior editor if you want to keep the Spanish text.
• Because of that, the sculpture became the first of its kind in Mexico – isn't the "because of that" superflous here? I find the sentence to read a little weird.
• After the subsequent installation of other unnamed anti-monuments, the Antimonumento +43 began to be called like that because of its physical characteristics, although it is also known by other names – again, not really clear: If all were unnamed, how did the others cause it to be named, and "because of its physical characteristics"? And what are the other names it is known by?
• Demonstrators added the slogan of those seeking justice for the case – where to? Is it that text visible at the bottom of the picture (my limited Spanish skills and intuition suggest that)?
• and subsequently installed a complement, a concrete turtle – again, where? Is the turtle nearby?
• where they held an intercity bus driver – what does "held" mean here? Held at gunpoint?
• were holding an event that would be affected by the students – does this imply "negatively affected"? Like, the students' protests were 'annoying' the mayor? It's not clear as written.
• They handed out flyers titled "+43, an anti-monument for memory and justice". – the paragraph ending with this is not cited (or, if it is in the same ref as the quote, that's currently not clear).

There might be other minor things that I haven't noticed yet. None of these are terrible, but without adjustments and clarity on the copyright concerns this can't run. –LordPeterII (talk) 20:00, 16 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• This is more of a comment than a review, but I think the hook is a bit complicated. It tries to combine three hook facts into one (him being the second Muslim president, the second to die in office, and having the same architect for the tomb). If I were you, I'd try splitting the hook into separate ones:

ALT1 ... that Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed was India's second Muslim president?

ALT2 ... that Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed was the second Indian president to die in office?

ALT3 ... that Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, India's second Muslim president, was also the second Indian president to die in office?

Owing to my discomfort in reviewing nominations that may have anything to do with nationalism and religion in India I will leave the review to another reviewer. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:09, 10 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you @Narutolovehinata5:. I did consider ALT 3 originally but the fact about the same guy who built their tombs is something I learnt while researching the article and I thought it added an interesting third layer to the coincidences. ALTs 1 & 2 are a little less hooky, I think. This topic isn't really about nationalism or religion really. Why not review it? :) Ashwin147 (talk) 07:34, 10 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

India-related topics on DYK have been controversial in the past, especially those that somehow involve Hinduism or Islam. From experience it's something I don't think I'm equipped to review. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:05, 10 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Comment: Just being of some particular religion, I do not see any controversy over religion behind Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed at least from WP article. Certainly his time of presidency coincided one of very volatile period for Indian Democracy, See The Emergency (India). Indian Presidents role usually is largely ceremonial,still some analyst wish to find weakness of in the President at important juncture. But without getting in detail controversy you can have option of mentioning, DYK that Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed was president of India during The Emergency (India).

By now India seems to have had reasonable number of Muslim presidents and vice presidents. Rather than focusing on Muslimness (though nothing wrong about it and also no objection about DYK mentioning Muslimness either) one can also give thought to contribution like his association with Polo or he was a Finance minister at state level previously can also be presented as DYK options.

I will prefer to change First DYK some thing like " ... that tomb of Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed ,the second president of India was designed by the architect Habib Rahman?" along with image of the tomb which seems simple and serene.

Being second to die in office, and the tombs for both were designed by same architect seem minor details for a global audience hence shorter sentence with image might make more interesting DYK. IMHO.

Cheers Bookku (talk) 16:12, 17 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My issue is that the architect's may be unfamiliar to global audiences and so unless the hook somehow managed to be a double hook where Rahman's article was also improved to DYK standards I don't see it being a good option.

Kazim al-Samawi

Kazim al-Samawi, 1970s

• ... that Iraqi poet Kazim al-Samawi (pictured) as a political refugee spent more than half of his life in exile insofar he has been known by title of "The Elder of the Iraqi exiles"?

  • Reviewed:
  • Comment: Not a new story of 20th century Iraqi notables (and not notables), who lived in exile/or emigrated, forced or voluntary, but seems al-Samawi was fabled for his exile life, and a post-2003 Iraqi independent and progressive newspaper, Al Mada, much publicized this sobriquet. There could be some other hooks, like: His son assassination in Beijing, Nasir; The death of almost all his family members, often in quick succession, one by one, from the parents to his two son, one daughter, and wife; His being a denaturalized citizen... Feel free to mix this hooks or just focus on his exile.

• Source 1 says "her birth on Sept. 10, 1938", while your article says September 7. Did 09/07 come from another source? Source 1 also does not mention Gdynia or Danzig. I'm not the world's biggest expert on the subject, but is it appropriate as your writing does to call Gdynia a suburb of Danzig, which was then another country? I don't think for example Mexican settlements by the US border would be called suburbs of San Diego or San Antonio. I don't also see verification from source 1 that her ghetto was of 15,000 Jews in six buildings - the closest being that it had 5,000 Jewish children and five survivors. Nor do I see verification in the source about being transferred to Starachowice, we see that they "went to work in a factory; they were slaves", but it doesn't say it was ammunition. Third paragraph is unsourced. The hook itself is interesting, that's why I picked it, it's factual and it comes from a reliable news source. Moving onto source 2, I see that this backs up the issues I raised above, but it's not cited inline, and the wording looks very, very similar to what you've written. Earwig copyvio detector comes up with 39% similarity with the Auschwitz source: the similarity in the list of her qualifications has to happen, but there are other sentences that could very easily be rewritten [11]. Also, I see nothing in citation 2 to back up that they moved to the US in 1950 due to antisemtism; the source seems to jump from the Soviet liberation of Auschwitz to 1950 and gives no reason for their migration.

• Thanks for the review, Unknown Temptation.

• I think the Calvin source is just wrong, since I can find multiple other sources, including the former ref 2 in the article by Friedman herself that says September 7th. I've extended the ref to cover that, along with all other instances on referencing being needed.
• Not sure what is good for Danzig either or what the manual of style says for time period issues like that.
• I have corrected 15,000 to 5,000.
• Starachowice is in the other reference, which is covering that now.
• I've rewritten and generally copy-edited the whole article. Hopefully that fixes those issues? Not sure how to fix the info about her education, since there's no real way to not have that written verbatim.
• Removed that last bit.

Hopefully that addresses everything. Silverseren^C 02:37, 15 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Interesting life, GA on plenty of sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - Sorry, I dislike the original hook enough to strike it. Here we have a woman with unique accomplishments - first black at the RSC in leading roles - and all we want to say is "sexiest", with "recent years" dating back to the last century? The other isn't much better. Please try harder to please women ;) - and please say something that can't be said about another. - In the article, I find the Monroe image a bit misleading. I think the lead should say "black" or whatever is acceptable much sooner than a hint in a bracket about "colour-blind". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:31, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply

Fair enough. I was in a bit of a Shakespeare mood recently, and so this was the first thing I noticed for a hook. I kinda already realized it wasn't too great after I nominated, and will take the criticism. A little short on time for Wiki-work atm, but will think about it and ping you when I have a better hook. –LordPeterII (talk) 16:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
