Forgotten DYK nomination?

My nomination of Template:Did you know nominations/List of terrorist attacks in France was passed back on 12 Jan, but it hasn't been touched since then - has it been overlooked or forgotten about? Prioryman (talk) 19:24, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I think overlooked is probably the right diagnosis: the tick was near the end of the comment, and promoters are looking for easily visible ticks at the beginning/left of the line. I've moved the tick to the beginning of the comment where it's supposed to go. With any luck, someone will see it there, and reasonably soon. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:30, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you're right. Thanks for doing that. Prioryman (talk) 19:40, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you're back

Hi, I noticed that you haven't been promoting DYK hooks for a while (perhaps you joined that mass exodus last summer?). I missed your efficient and no-drama prep set building. Glad you're back! Yoninah (talk) 17:50, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@

drama-fest about promoting Christian themed hooks to run on Easter Sunday that led me to cut back for a time. I will need to take a brief break in a day or two however. I have several nominations that have been approved but not yet promoted currently sitting at Template talk:Did you know‎, one in the special occasion requests area for March 17. Combine this with nominations which I have reviewed and it is slowly getting harder and harder for me to build balanced sets without promoting hooks which I have had prior involvement. --Allen3 ^talk 18:07, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply

Hello Allen3,

How does this special holding areas work? Do I have to remind users who are active at the prep such as yourself to place it on that special date? Or does it automatically do so? Mind you, that I'm specifically mentioning the April 24 article. Thanks.

Drat! I've been staying away from prep building due to the Easter hooks, but thought that April 4 was out of the woods. Guess not. I'm just about to finish the set; could we move it to a later prep set when more open up? Yoninah (talk) 21:32, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I reverted the prep set. Do I have to revert all the hooks I promoted, or can you use them at a later date? (I don't plan to be working on DYK during Passover week.) Yoninah (talk) 21:39, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But don't we want all-Christian hooks on Easter Sunday? Yoninah (talk) 21:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. All good suggestions. But I just spent an hour building and then erasing a whole set, while neglecting my Passover cleaning. I'll leave it to you or others to build those preps. Thanks again. Yoninah (talk)

User:Allen3, Reviewed and gave you a tick. But I was wondering about adding a picture to the nomination? Happy Thanksgiving to you! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:00, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

7&6=thirteen, thanks for adding an image of the Arizona State Capitol to the article. A group photo of the session members probably exists, but would almost certainly reside in one of the state's archives. Arizona law requires payment of a fee for commercial use of any records or documents created or maintained with public funds. Places such as the Arizona Historical Society and Sharlot Hall Museum are covered by this restriction because they have received public funds in the past. Arizona archives also tend to not provide information about prior publication, so it can be hard determining what images are no longer under copyright. Given the difficulty in finding free images of historical Arizona events, and my personal preference to minimize fair use items, I tend not to even look for suitable images for this type of article. It is nice that you spotted a free image that is appropriate to the article. --Allen3 ^talk 15:20, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was pleased to find it. Too bad we can't get a group picture. Although there might be one on Flickr. User: Doug Coldwell is great at finding that sort of thing. It would be prior to 1923, so there is no copyright question.

The question still perseveres: Do you want to add the present picture to the DYK and amend the hook? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:24, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1910 Photograph of the 25th Arizona Territorial Legislature members Sharlot Hall Museum, Prescott, Arizona Here is a picture of the 25th Legislature. Given its age, it cannot be in copyright. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:27, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

7&6=thirteen, actually it can easily still be under copyright. By default, unpublished works in the United States are copyrighted for 120 years from date of creation. Once a work is published the copyright is based upon the date of publication and not the date of creation (there are exceptions for works created before 1978 and not published until after 2002). It is not unusual for images to sit in archives or private collections for decades before their first publication. Based upon Wikipedia:Public domain#Unpublished works, we can not be sure the image you found is in the public domain until after 2047. The only way around this is if you can locate proof of when the image was first published. --Allen3 ^talk 16:07, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Added this: 1910 Photograph of all members of the 25th Arizona Territorial Legislature Sharlot Hall Museum, Prescott, Arizona

OK. Will try to find a source for the publication. Probably some form of state yearbook? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:10, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On 27 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Prosper P. Parker, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Why was in Jordan removed in the Maghtas DYK ? [6] Makeandtoss (talk) 12:07, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Makeandtoss, my best guess is that the reference to your home country was removed because the phrase "in Jordon" is redundant with the rest of the information in the hook. Have you considered asking the person who performed the removal? My ability to mind read is limited and you will probably get better information if you ask the appropriate person. --Allen3 ^talk 12:16, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think that I and the nominator were under the impression this was going to be held in the special occasions area. Is there any reason you moved it to the current prep-building area instead? Thanks, Jolly Ω Janner 18:10, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Allen3, could you possibly do the cleanup on the incomplete DYK update? Right now, while the contents of Queue 1 were moved to the main page, they were also left in Queue 1, and Template:Did you know/Queue/Next wasn't incremented to Queue 2, the final two steps in the process (reversed here for narrative purposes).

I've checked the contributions log for the bot, and it looks like the bot died when attempting to mark the image file as having been included on DYK. I don't know whether you'd want to bother doing this as well, but I'm mainly concerned about incrementing Queue/Next and clearing Queue 1. I'm hoping you're around and can do both. This has been mentioned at

Inviting you to review here.--MaranoFan (talk) 12:30, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't an invite. It's a request. Does this come under Wikipedia:Canvassing?  — Calvin999 12:34, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, since Allen was never involved with the article in any way, this can't possibly be influencing the end-decision in any way.--MaranoFan (talk) 12:37, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The only reason you would ask someone to review your DYK is so that it appears on the main page faster, providing that Allen3 passes it. Why have you chosen only Allen3, anyway?  — Calvin999 12:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the review page has been inactive for many days, might I add, you seem to misunderstand canvassing. It is common practice to ask for feedback from experienced users at the discussions. Provided, I have no previous interaction with them. Read that page again. YOU have also done this in the past.--MaranoFan (talk) 12:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the world of Wikipedia. A lot of my DYK noms have taken weeks to get a review, and then several more weeks to be sent to prep. That's the way the cookie crumbles. You really need to learn to be more patient and stop asking people to review your work. Wait and be patient like the rest of us. I've never asked anyone to review a DYK for me.  — Calvin999 12:55, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, is it my fault that Meghan Trainor articles do not attract crazy attention? You generally nominate Rihanna articles for DYK's who is having a four-week run atop the hot 100 chart, whereas Meghan does not have THAT crazy popularity, especially on wiki. Please go and do some positive work now.--MaranoFan (talk) 13:14, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's nothing to do with it. Whoever reviews a nom may or may not have an interest. It's nothing to do with attracting attention. You get that once it's on the main page. That's the whole point of DYK.  — Calvin999 13:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am writing this message to you because you put yourself down as a regular admin at DYK.

Per this AN thread, LavaBaron is given editing restrictions on DYK. Any hook nominated or reviewed by LavaBaron must be reviewed by a second editor before it may be promoted to the main page. The restrictions are reproduced below as follows:

1. A DYK article nomination or hook submitted by LavaBaron must be reviewed and accepted by 2 other editors before it may be promoted.
2. Any DYK nomination reviewed by LavaBaron must also be reviewed and accepted by 1 other editor before it may be promoted.
3. Any additional reviews by other editors, which are mandated by this restriction, shall count towards the QPQ of that editor.
4. (To balance the maths) For each article submitted by LavaBaron to DYK, 2 QPQ reviews by LavaBaron are required, at least 1 of which shall be a nomination that had not yet been accepted by another editor.
5. These restrictions shall initially last for a period of 3 months. At the end of the period, this restriction shall be reviewed.

Thank you for this edit. I had a little panic attack just now when it occurred to me the date might have filled up, so I was relieved to see you had moved it. Is this something I should have done myself after I gave the article a tick, or is to be left for an admin to do? The comments at the start of the holding area do not give any instructions on point.

Hello, Allen3. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

"extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion

with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016,

a request for comment

established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Allen3, the DYKUpdateBot didn't run today, and the main page update is currently four hours late. I've left a note on Shubinator's talk page, but in the meantime, you seem to be the only admin well enough versed to do a complete promotion from queue to the main page, including all the necessary notifications and such. If you stop by while the bot remains down, please do what you can. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:02, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
