Instructions for nominators
This page is for those nominations that have already been approved and are waiting to be promoted. If yours has been approved but has not yet been run on the main page, it should either be on this page or will soon be moved here, or already promoted to a Prep area or Queue ahead of an appearance on the main page.
If you wish to create a new nomination, please go to the Template talk:Did you know page; there are instructions there in a section similar to this one on how to nominate an article for DYK.
Frequently asked questions
Backlogged?
This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until someone promotes it to a preparation area. To alleviate this problem, if the approved page has more than 120 approved hooks, then sets will change twice per day (every 12 hours) instead of once per day (every 24 hours). When the backlog falls below 60 approved nominations set frequency returns to once a day.
Where is my hook?
If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.
If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the
Instructions for other editors
How to promote an accepted hook
- See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areasfor full instructions.
- In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
- In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
- In the prep set...
- Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
- Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
- Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
- Back on DYK nomination page...
- change
{{DYKsubpage
to{{subst:DYKsubpage
- change
|passed=
to|passed=yes
- Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save
- change
How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue
- Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
- Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there should have been a link to it in the credits section).
- View the edit history for that page
- Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
- Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
- Add a transclusion of the template back to the nominations pageso 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:DYKasking someone else to do so.

- Interesting article on a court case with consequences, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I remember that we have "v." in such titles, - did that change, or should the article be moved? In the article, I'd give "Singh Decision" a bold place in the lead. I think "decision" might be better than "ruling" in ALT1. Perhaps mention April 4 there?

- @Reidgreg and Gerda Arendt: Article doesn't seem to have been expanded 5x (2004 --> 7705).--Launchballer 08:37, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- I remember that it was really close. This version is where I made the 5× expansion in a single edit, noted as such in the edit summary. It expanded the article 243 → 1215 words (5× exactly) or 1511 → 7702 characters (5.09×). I'm not sure where you're getting 2004 and 7705, I'm not seeing those exact numbers with prosecount.
- In the two edits prior to the expansion edit, I removed some material from the older versions of the article which was erroneous, unsourced, or where the same material was repeated in multiple places. I believe this was all legitimate removal of content, and not part of an expansion (since it made the article smaller). I counted the expansion from the low wordcount point after this, when the article was 'clean' and used the edit summary to make it easy for reviewers to check. I hope this doesn't seem like I was 'gaming the system'.
- If it is required to further increase the size of the article, could you please give me a specific target word/character count to meet. Thanks. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:22, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- I approve it IAR, because it would be nonsense to require the multiplication of bad content. If you want to avoid such things make the article GA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- The 2004-count edit was 12 Feb, which was just outside the 7-day expansion window. So, in other words, if I made those two edits which removed material and then waited seven days before posting the expansion edit, DYKcheck would say it is fine. WP:DYK5X basically says that it's not worth arguing about, and I agree. If it needs further expansion, please let me know ASAP. I can move some of the footnotes up and make it a little more verbose, though I wouldn't necessarily call those improvements. – Reidgreg (talk) 21:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)]

- @Mariamnei: New enough and long enough. Nominator is QPQ-exempt. Image is appropriately licensed. I find ALT2 a bit trite (I am also struggling to find the claim in the hook source—please help) and ALT0 (the first hook listed) drowning in nested appositives and would love to hear other ways to reword them, especially ALT0, Mariamnei.

- Comment: Special thanks to Tails Wx who helped suggest ALT0 and ALT1 over at the Wikimedia Discord server.
ALT2's fact is currently not in the article but can be added if the reviewer likes it.(Update: I have added the wording to the article regardless.)
ALT2 is technically misleading since she wasn't a member of a ghost club, but rather "ghost club member" is a translation of "幽霊部員" and seems to be someone who participates in a club but is not a member of it. However, for ALT2 I was going with an admittedly clickbaity angle.
The article doesn't have much other material so if none of the hooks work I'm fine with the nomination being failed.

Overall: No disqualifying issues, nice article. Both hooks are fine (who said DYK frowns on "first X" hooks?); and I'll accept either, with ALT slightly better than the original, but especially since you proposed, may I suggest a possibly "hookier" third?
- ALT2: "... that Gerald McGinnis founded his first medical device company from his own home, working at night and using his kitchen oven as a kiln?" I think that is a cute "hooky" detail, and that naming Lanz isn't that important, and our medical device article isn't really great, as it says "any device intended to be used for medical purposes" which is more redundant than explanatory, while at least kiln will explain a word not everyone knows. But this proposal isn't head and shoulders better than the ALT you had, so if you don't like it, ALT will do.
- "The company was able to keep the costs down by outsourcing the labor to Hong Kong ... In 1987, a fire destroyed the company plant in Wilmerding." That's a bit confusing - was the labor in Hong Kong or Wilmerding? Part in each? Was Wilmerding one of a number of plants, so losing it not a big deal, or was this a major threat to the company's survival? A clarifying sentence would not go amiss.
- "When Respironics recalled its machines in 2021 due to a defect which caused noise-reducing foam to degrade and release toxic chemicals, McGinnis attributed the recall to a culture shift in the company and called it a "disappointment and embarrassment"." - Again, a sentence or even more would be useful here, since this was a big deal. What was the culture shift, what was the embarrassment, etc.? I read your sources, at least one gave the specific example that when his earlier product had a defect, McGinnis did not hesitate to order a complete recall; if you would go just a bit into that or other examples of the difference between McGinnis and Philips running the company, it would be good. Don't go too deep into the foam problem, since this is the article about him, not about Respironics, which was not really his at the time, but more than just one cryptic sentence about his reaction would be nice.
- The same source also implied the sale to Philips was not quite a hostile takeover, but not far from it, which might be useful to explain; the company is his main reason for notability, and the source of his philanthropy, so how he stopped running it also seems important.
All these issues are not DYK blockers, DYK is not
- Will look at the suggestions tomorrow. It's 10:00 where I live but I'll definitely act on those suggestions, but now that I'm thinking about it, it would be nice if I could improve it to GA-worthy status. To answer your question about first [x] hooks, I was looking through other nominations and some reviewer said something of that sort and I thought that I needed a better hook. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 05:09, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- The hook fact is contradicted in the article which states he was in 6th grade at a camp when he got the nickname. I notice no source was provided here either. Is there discrepancy among sources on the origin of the nickname? Was the camp coach the father of his college coach? It doesn't say so if that is case. If so that needs to be addressed in the article. The hook fact needs to be clearly stated in the article with an inline citation. Once a viable hook is proposed, I will do a complete review.4meter4 (talk) 19:14, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

- @TonyTheTiger Looks better. Assuming good faith on the subscription access sources for the hook fact. The hook is ready now. Unfortunately hit another snag in doing a full review. The article expansion is new enough. However, it looks like the article is just short of 5xs. The original character count was 1039 character of prose making the required prose size for 5x expansion 5195 characters. The current prose count is 5120 characters which is 75 characters short. Hopefully some more research may yield enough content to reach the required expansion size through a little more writing. One or two sentences should probably push you over the required amount of prose. If not, I suggest trying for a Good Article review and resubmitting once that is achieved. I suggest including a chronological time frame in the lead in order to help reach the prose goal. 4meter4 (talk) 05:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Butting in from Tony's talk page to say I think it's somewhat silly to hold up an otherwise-decent expansion DYK over 75 characters. Honestly, I don't think it would break the system to just IAR this one. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @ Premeditated Chaos I'm already giving Tony a break on the length by backdating the character count to the article state on the 19th which was when the expansion truly began but is 24 hours before the nomination window (although he could have filed it under the 19th instead of doing so under the 20th). If I were a stickler and started on the 20th which is the nomination date, the 5x expansion would be 6445 characters. The current prose count is 5120 characters which is 1325 characters short. So I chose to bend the rules slightly while staying in the spirit of them by starting from the true expansion date which was 24 hours earlier to give Tony an easier time making up the shortfall. That seemed fair given the work he put in. 75 characters is a lot easier to take care of as opposed to 1325 characters.4meter4 (talk) 15:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Maggio di Accettura

ISBN 978 1 5261 5200 8. p. 24. "The uniting of two (gendered) trees at springtime has led a number of scholars to suggest that the Maggio represents a powerful atavistic rite of natural renewal. These interpretations often distinguish between a primordial layer, consisting of the pagan ritual of the marriage of the trees, and a much more recent addition in the form of the Christian cult of St Julian."

"Whether its origins lie in an episode of Langobard history, are inspired by revolutionary liberty trees or derive from even earlier pre-Christian cults (Filardi 2001), the Maggio festival is clearly distinctive on account of its deliberate anachronism evident, for example, in the procedures used to raise the tree or in the way its components are transported to the village."

"Dokumentaren hevder at Muslimbrødrene avviser vestlige verdier og kultur, og bruker sin religion i en tydelig strategi for å få makt i vestlige samfunn: Ikke ved hjelp av vold og trusler, men gjennom å infiltrere og undergrave demokratiet fra innsiden.") "Is Islam hijacked by radical extremists who actively advocate to destroy the values of western communities?" ... "The documentary claims that the Muslim Brothers reject Western values and culture, and use their religion in a clear strategy to gain power in Western societies: Not through violence and threats, but by infiltrating and undermining democracy from the inside."

- Article is new enough and long enough. No copy vio detected. Foreign language and subscription sources accepted in good faith. Only issue I can see is that the "from within" part of the hook fact is not actually in the text of the article, and it looks like the current language is saying infiltration is coming from muslims outside Europe (rather than from within Europe) in the current quote. The language of the hook needs to be reflected clearly in the article. Either the hook needs to modified to match the current article text, or the article needs to be changed to reflect the hook. The foreign language source with the content should determine which. Once that is done I can approve the hook.4meter4 (talk) 08:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- I changed the wording in the review in the article to emphasize that the word "innenfra" literally translates to "from within". However, it is not a big deal to me if the wording is left out if it is somewhat unclear based on the context. Thismess (talk) 12:19, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Thismess I see that, but the hook still isn't exactly in the article. The hook as framed is making a statement from the perspective of the documentary or the documentary's maker, whereas the article is positioning the text in question as a criticism of the documentary through the analysis of a media review. It's really not clear if the documentary itself really made that claim in the article text, or if it was a reviewer's take on what the documentary was claiming. There's a difference. Criticisms aren't always accurate and are subjective opinions, not facts. Again the hook fact needs to clearly align with the text of the article. You could again propose a different hook to match the article's prose, or change the prose of the article to match the hook if the sources support it.4meter4 (talk) 15:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

"The documentary claims that the Muslim Brothers reject Western values and culture, and use their religion in a clear strategy to gain power in Western societies: Not through violence and threats, but by infiltrating and undermining democracy from the inside." I summed this up in the article as "The film attempts to expose how the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrates Western society in order to undermine democracy (and destroy Western values) [the latter from an earlier quote from the same source]." If there's still a problem I need to know exactly what's the issue. Thismess (talk) 16:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thismess I already explained it to you. The prose in the article doesn't align with the prose in the hook. The hook as framed is making a statement from the perspective of the documentary or the documentary's maker, whereas the article is positioning the text in question as a criticism of the documentary through the analysis of a media review. They are not the same thing. You can not reframe a critical opinion as a fact, which is what the hook has erroneously done. Either make the text say "Freedom, Equality and the Muslim Brotherhood claimed to expose how the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrates Europe from within" to match the hook and with a supporting source that is fact not opinion based, or suggest an alt hook that matches the text, "Freedom, Equality and the Muslim Brotherhood was criticised in a review by Aftenposten for construing views of how the Muslim Brotherhood allegedly infiltrates Europe from within."

The source says (translated): "claims that the Muslim Brotherhood rejects Western values and culture, and uses its religion in a clear strategy to gain power in Western societies: not by means of violence and threats, but by infiltrating and undermining democracy from the inside".

QPQ: None required. |
Overall: QPQ is not required as this appears to be the nominator's first DYK hook according to the QPQ checker, verifying this could be appreciated. I am approving ALT2 in particular. ALT0 doesn't seem very interesting in my opinion, and unless I'm missing something, ALT1 is not verified within the article itself (the Jews outnumbering Georgians is, but not the Ossetians) and therefore this leaves ALT2. If it turns out I'm missing something, then I believe ALT1 to be more interesting, but I'll leave it up to whoever promotes this hook further. λ NegativeMP1 22:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- @NegativeMP1 It's not my first DYK nom, but it is my 4th, so QPQ is still unnecessary. I've clarified the information relating to ALT1 in the article, so it should be more easily verifiable now (it was in the sources, just not explicitly stated in the article itself). Personally, I do think ALT0 is interesting, because generally you become Christian when you convert to Christianity.

- New enough, long enough and well-written. No discernible policy violations. The image is nice and properly licensed. No QPQ needed as this is the first DYK nomination by CaptainOlimar42. The hooks are slightly problematic; there is an inline citation supporting the sentence providing the fact of ALT2, but not the other hooks. This would need to be addressed if you wish to use them. I would however strongly argue in favour of ALT2, which I think is the more intriguing. The other ones are not immediately attention-grabbing in the way a hook is meant to be, I think. If the nominator is OK with going ahead with ALT2, I could tick this as passed and strike out the other two hook alternatives. Apart from that: nice work! It is a little gem of an article.

- I reviewed
- WP:DYKINT, and to paraphrase AirshipJungleman29, they're both hooks about a person doing their job, which are not ideal. As such they're struck. ALT2 is my preferred option. The source is in German so I accept them in good faith. However, translating the source, it seems to be more about that particular performance of the opera itself, rather than Köhler's involvement. Indeed, he is only mentioned by name once in the entire article, and the quotes about "serious games" and "wit, cleverness and presence of mind" appear to be the reviewer's descriptions of the opera itself and not referring to his directing specifically. There are two possible options here: ALT2 be revised to be more accurate to the source, or a new hook be proposed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)]
- Thank you for reviewing (but do you really have to look at almost all my nominations? This "doing their job" is really not adequate, imho, when it comes to the unique endeavours of creative artists)? The director is the person who gives a performance a direction. While the wit of the women could be interpreted as belonging to the opera, it was - as the review says and the headline enforces, "Kluger Frauen Gegenwehr" = "clever women's counter defence" - the director's focus, and especially the "serious games", taken so literally that the stage resembled a game board. Do you see that? - The performance was the beginning of a new era at the opera house, with a change of musical director, so not at all just a "job" but everybody giving their outstanding best. Better wording welcome, everybody. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 17:10, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- I tried to explain that the director is the one behind the direction of the scene, - what is so hard to understand? Here you have a full interview with him also mentioning Figaro.

Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 17:10, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- As far as I can see, Narutolovehinata5's complaint about ALT2 is that when Köhler directed an opera, something interesting happened which was not his doing. I believe that that is not a valid complaint.
- The something-interesting is in the article and sourced. And it happened to an opera that Köhler directed, on his watch. That is valid. If the events in the performance were not Köhler's doing, then the hook is on the same principle as a hook such as " ... that shortly after architect X designed X building, it was demolished to make way for X roadway". (or was blown up in a war, or was bought by a celebrity, etc.). A hook is a hook to bring the punters in. It can be a celebration of the biography-subject, but it does not have to be. Having something interesting happening to a play that X directed is an interesting hook, whether the event was directly caused by the director or not.
- What is more, women are "in" and thus hooky at the moment. We have just inadvertently missed International Women's Day on DYK, and this hook partially makes up for it. So I vote that we keep ALT2 as a valid option.
- Oh, and actually Köhler did make the interesting thing happen, because that's what directors do. They make plays and operas interesting, and people want to hear about it. Directors direct. Hooks can dare to mention that fact, if the result of the direction is interesting - which it is in this case.. Directors can do one or all of several things. They can make the performers do certain things. They can prevent the performers from doing certain things. They can tear up the script and tell the performers to do what they heck they like within certain parameters. They can be useless directors so that the performance is a disaster. In all those cases, and whatever happens onstage, the buck stops with the director. So you can't say that anything that happens in the performance is nothing to do with the director.Storye book (talk) 10:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I have to make it clear: the issue was never interest, it was sourcing. The source for the hook does mention the quotes in the hook, but they are not specifically attributed to being about Köhler. The issue I raised is that the hook is saying something that is not directly stated in the source but at best only indirectly, with the connection not actually explicitly stated. Attributing the quotes to Köhler specifically without the source saying so would arguably be synthesis. I get the point above, but it's still an editorial interpretation rather than something the source actually explicitly says. That was the issue with ALT2 and not interestingness.
- In the interest of disclosure I am fine with ALT2 in terms of interest and am actually willing to approve a version of it. However, that would require changes to either the article or the hook (but really both) to better reflect the source. ALT2 as written won't work because of what was discussed above, but I'd be more than happy to approve a revised version. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:58, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: What you say doesn't make sense. There is no implication in the hook or source that Köhler spoke or wrote the quotations that are in the hook. So the attribution of the quotations is not a matter of confusion, misunderstanding or misattribution. The hook does not mislead the readers in any way. And as I have said above, it doesn't matter whether Köhler made the interesting events onstage happen, or whether he did not. We do not have to establish whether he did nor not. He was the director. When he was the director, something happened on his watch. The hook already makes that clear and it is not ambiguous in that respect. There is nothing wrong with the source in that respect. As with my examples about the building being designed by the architect and then being bombed (or whatever), it doesn't matter who did what. Somebody made something, and then something interesting happened to it. We have nothing to prove in that respect. But if you want to suggest a different form of the hook, please do. Storye book (talk) 12:41, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't say the hook was misleading. I said it did not exactly reflect the wording of the source. Yes he was the director, yes he directed it, but the article (I read it) had those quotes and they did not specifically refer to him. They were speaking in general about the performance, rather than his directing specifically. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- The performance is his directing. If you cook a meal for your friends, that is a creative process, as is directing. Whether your friends puke up, or whether they say it's delicious, that's your creation, and your fault or credit. Same with the director. The article does not have to say that the director directed the interesting bits. Of course the director directed the interesting bits. If a bit of scenery had fallen and injured somebody during a performance, and you put that in the hook, you would not have to prove fault in the hook. You just need to say that it happened. ALT2 basically says, that the director directed this opera, and something interesting happened onstage. Simples. If you don't like the hook, make another one, and (hopefully) one of us will approve it for you. Storye book (talk) 13:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Storye book (talk) 12:41, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I have taken a second look at the source once more. This is a really weird case. The paragraph in question does seem connected to Köhler after all, but in a rather indirect way. From what I can tell the paragraph is mostly talking about Köhler and his team's work in direction, but not about Köhler specifically staging the work. One possible solution to this, in order to at least match the source more closely, could be a minor revision to ALT2 like:
- ALT2a ... that Le nozze di Figaroin 2023 with playful "serious games" in which the women win by "wit, cleverness and presence of mind"?
- ALT2a ... that
- How does this sound? Rather than having the staging wording, which isn't directly supported by the source, we could just simply focus on his direction and have a slightly more concise hook in the process. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:40, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- That is a neat concise hook, and I can live with it. However, it leaves out two things of extra interest: that he came from drama (hadn't heard an opera until a few years before this, so had a fresh approach), and that this wasn't just any Figaro but that he was invited to stage the beginning of a new era at the opera house of the year. Why would we play it low-key? - If we don't mention the importance of this performance, we should better turn to Traumgörge , as the more interesting piece. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:52, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- I could also approve ALT2a, except that the "with" is misleading, or at least confusing. In that hook, the "with" appears to be about the directing itself. To me that use of "with" seems to mimic its use in the context of other types of work, such as "The teacher taught geometry with playful and serious games, because children can learn by having fun". Or - "The jockey races with a whip, to speed up the horse". In other words, it sounds as if the games are a tool for explaining to the performers how they should perform. If you put "he staged" back, it would make sense, and I would approve ALT2a in respect of the use of the English language. Storye book (talk) 09:16, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- And another thing: re the above objection to "staged". Yes, it is supported by the source, because staging in that context is just another word for the directing, so that you don't have to say "directing/directed" twice in the hook. It means he made things happen on the stage. (Staging can also mean the job of the theatre manager who tracks down patrons to help pay for it, controls the building and seating, hires staff, pays wages, arranges ticket sales, and so on - but there is no confusion with that meaning in the hook).

- I removed that bit from the hook @Harper J. Cole: It was from the hook source Harry Connick who must have got it wrong based on your information and this ESPN source. I think the rest is all cited and the bit about the rushing yards is quoted. I will add a note of correction after Connick's quote. Thanks! Lightburst (talk) 16:29, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Overall: Mostly looks good, but a few things that should be worked on: (1) the first hook states that his team's time of possession was 31.6
– however, it was the Steelers who had that possession and it was 31:06 (31.6 isn't how time of possession is written); (2) the second hook states that it was as a result of an NFL game
, but the source says that it was because of the college football championship; and (3) I've heard of this game before for being the shortest overtime win in NFL history – that is probably relevant and should be added. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:45, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

- 5x expansion confirmed starting 3 March
- Readable prose is sufficient for inclusion on DYK, and article is sufficiently detailed on the subject
- Article is well-sourced, neutral and BLP compliant, and reliably sourced to a sufficient standard; many sourced are paywalled but the quick spot check of those I can access supports the article so AGF here
- Hook is cited to a reliable source, is interesting and is present in the article
- There are some possible copyvio incidents which have been flagged up through Earwig: see here
- QPQ competed

Looking at the PT article, only one paragraph discusses Asasumasu. Do you mean that the section about Asasumasu coining the term neurodivergence is too similar to the PT article?

- New enough and long enough, nicely sourced with no NPOV, BLP or copyvio issues in evidence. Hook is interesting and well sourced. NZ has freedom of panorama, so the image checks out. There are, however, a few spit-and-polish matters which should be addressed before promotion: firstly, in New Zealand is better grammar in the hook: secondly, there are quite a few grammatical errors in the article which can be fairly easily fixed. A sample:
- Its tea brands gives
- R. Wilson and Co (full stop after one abbreviation, not the other)
- The costs were at over $1 million
- The author of one of the sources is listed as "sarah" (lc), another as "says, Leslie dyer" (also lc).

Rodney, Mississippi
- ... that Rodney, Mississippi, became a ghost town after the Mississippi River shifted about two miles away? Source: McHaney, Pearl Amelia (Spring 2015). "Eudora Welty's Mississippi River: A View from the Shore". The Southern Quarterly. 52 (3): 66–68. "A few years later, Mississippi: A Guide to the Magnolia State listed Rodney as a one of the state’s thirty-fi ve extinct towns and described it as “a ghost river town that died in 1876 when the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley R.R. was built. Prior to the War Between the States, Rodney with a population of 4,000 supported a wharf, a boat landing, two warehouses, and numerous stores and dwellings” (WPA 330). Many factors in addition to the war and the railroad line, however, led to the decline of the port by the time Welty visited Rodney in the nineteen thirties and forties. Yellow fever killed many of the citizens in 1843 and 1847, and in 1869, fire destroyed many buildings. The principal demise of the town, however, was brought about by the action of the Mississippi River itself when it changed course in 1870, developing a sandbar and rendering the port two miles from its shore. [...] Rodney was one of the flourishing towns of the period, but Welty’s characters were unaware that it would give way to the river’s power, so she gives the ghost town she had roamed and photographed with her friends the commerce and feel of her contemporary Natchez, set back in time."

"The United Daughters of the Confederacy acquired the Rodney Presbyterian Church, after it stopped being an active church, in order to try to preserve it. Several restorations have been completed on that building. During one of those restorations is when the false cannon ball was placed on the front wall to signify the damage that was inflicted on it during the Civil War. In recent years, a new group, the Rodney History and Preservation Society was formed to help bring attention to Rodney and save structures there. And they were able to acquire title to the Presbyterian Church from the Daughters of the Confederacy."

- Comment: Three brief notes:
- Regarding images: There are color images in the article that show extant structures in the town. All of these have free licenses. There are no broader-scope images depicting the whole town or a down-the-street view.
- Regarding sources: ping me if you need more of Logan or McHaney. The PBS documentary has a transcript linked below the video, so you don't have to watch it to verify.
- Regarding expansion: the article was around 280 words prior to expansion. An older version had large chunks of content removed for copyright violations. When I began expansion there were still 2 sentences (about 36 words) of copyrighted material very closely copied from a sign in front of the church.

Using McHaney as a source: "Rodney was nearly voted as the state capital in 1817, [...] In 1930, Mississippi Governor Theodore Bilbo signed an executive order declaring that Rodney was no longer a city. A few years later, Mississippi: A Guide to the Magnolia State listed Rodney as a one of the state’s thirty-five extinct towns and described it as “a ghost river town [...] The principal demise of the town, however, was brought about by the action of the Mississippi River itself when it changed course [...]"

- Apologies for the later review as real-life matters came up. The article is adequately sourced and I am assuming good faith on the sourcing, though the excerpts check out. I didn't find any close paraphrasing, and ALT4 is in the article and sourced. This is a bit of a weird case in that the article was previously a lot longer before being cut down due to copvios, and thus isn't detected as a 5x expansion by the DYKcheck tool. However, because the rule talks about expansion from the state when expansion began and not from the beginning, and the article was expanded 5x from that point on, that should work.

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: Brief, and I feel it would make sense to include more analysis of her writings, but a solid article nonetheless. I've checked for copyvio and it only seems like there are some instances of matching text that are unavoidable (e.g., university names). Waiting on the QPQs, as noted by Launchballer above.

- Thank you PCN02WPS for two well-written articles. Both articles were recently expanded 5x, well-written and within policy. No image so no problem there. No qpq's have been done, so that needs to be addressed. Furthermore, I find the hook in its present form a bit lacking. I imagine that an arrangement of having two co-presidents of colleges are not extremely rare; at least it does not strike the reader immediately as something particularly intriguing. However, the reason they were co-presidents is that one of them was serving onboard an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. That is actually quite unexpected an interesting. Could perhaps the hook be elaborated a bit, to tease the reader into reading the articles, using this fact? I think there are options here. Let me know what you think.

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Might as well review this too, for any future DYK QPQs. Article new enough, long enough and is detailed and thorough. Alt0 seems to lack the "interesting" bit for a fact other than a year of completion. I am leaning towards Alt1, but perhaps it could use a little tweaking. Perhaps mention that as a result of the unexpected success/positive reception, it resulted in the release of spin-off games? Happy to review suggested alt(s).

- Thanks for having a second look Tony. Just to add, the emergency backlog mode of 2x QPQ per nomination applies to nominators with more than 20 DYK nominations, and the second criteria is for DYK nominations made after March 8 (at least until it is rescinded). I use the QPQ Checker tool to confirm the number of DYKs from an editor when I do my reviews. Pseud 14 (talk) 15:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- The QPQ check tool to the right counts only 9. I don't really trust the QPQ tool that much because it barely counts 40% of my own nominations. But If the nominator feels that they have done less than 20 noms this can go forward or they can do the double. This case is on the honor system.-WP:WAWARD) 18:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)]

- Article is new and long enough, and Earwig's looks good. Looking at the first hook, it is interesting, matches the article, and sourced:
The heads were serially sectioned ... The total number of sections per head came to approximately 1600
. I worry that you're trying to put too much information into the hook. As the most interesting part is that the mice were sliced up into 1,600 slices, the reason for this being done (lesions from cosmic rays) could be omitted. Also, because Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, and Phooey aren't common knowledge, people aren't going to immediately realise that they are mice, so it might be a good idea to link "five mice" and pipe it to the article about them. But it's your choice after all.

- Solid article. New enough (nominated same day as promotion to GA). Long enough (8243 characters). Well sourced. Earwig says copyvio unlikely and highest match is a direct quote which is properly attributed. Only one boldlinked article in the hook and having just gone through GA, it looks very tidy and presentable. Appears to be exempt from QPQ requirement, as this is only his second nomination. This leaves the hook. The hook is attributed to an OK source (1963 newspaper). It's not the most exciting hook, and does not do justice to all the interesting facts discussed in the article. If we are sticking with ALT0, I might suggest rewording "dating back to 1796" to simply say "since 1796" to make it tighter. I also proposed a couple new ALT hook which would need to be approved by someone else; I'm sure many other interesting hooks are possible.

- This article is impressive, Hydrangeans! It is eligible for DYK, and appears to be mostly well-sourced and neutral. There are some offline sources here on which I will need to AGF, but page numbers are provided and I find no copyvio from searchable online sources. The first three hooks are problematic as they rely solely on the fictional content of Anthem. ALT3 is potentially non-neutral, which leads to a problem with the article: the lede asserts that some scholars also consider Liberty 5-3000 an unconquered heroine, but I see no cited support for this ion the body. ALT2 and potentially ALT3 should be good to go once this is resolved. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 21:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Ezlev: Thank you for the review! You mention that
The first three hooks are problematic as they rely solely on the fictional content of Anthem
—does that include ALT2? Since that hook places Anthem in the context of the real-life person Rand's wider corpus, with it being different from most of her usually love triangle-filled stories, is that a hook that involves content outside the fictional story of Anthem? As for the lead problem, I've revised the lead so that instead of saying in wikivoice Liberty 5-3000 is an 'unconquered heroine', it's instead repeating part of the quote calling her"as spiritually unconquered as" Equality 7-2521
, quoting the CliffsNotes. In other words, the lead sentence now states,In scholarly analyses, Liberty 5-3000 has been considered a "spiritually unconquered" character who is on par with Equality 7-2521 and a submissive trophy wife who is ultimately passive
. And the quotation has a citation note appended to it, the same one as used to verify the statement, with attribution to the author, in the body text. Does that resolve the issue in the lead and make ALT2 and ALT3 good to go? If I misunderstood any part of the problem, do let me know. Hydrangeans (she/her) (talk | edits) 22:01, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- Article is new enough and long enough. Going to AGF on Turkish sources. On #1 The last sentence in the "The nişan taşı in archery" section is unsourced, though. Googling some random sentences didn't find any evidence of copyvio or plagiarism, but that doesn't mean much as some sources are in a different language. I worry that
The number of nişantaşı had previously been 300 in Okmeydanı; of these, merely 40 nişantaşıs have survived until today.
andas far as possible
in #1 are being paraphrased a bit too closely. It's also not definitive that they were founded in the 15th century or that there is a commission about the lodges. I think that the files ought to have a {{FoP-Turkey}} added to them on Commons, or one about the stones being too old to be copyrightable. The article doesn't say that Mahmud hit an ostrich egg.

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Adequate sourcing: the second paragraph in the "Northwest Airlines Flight 85" section lacks any citations, so this holds up the nomination. Also, there is at least one fact in the lead section that is I cannot find supported anywhere in the body: "The problem was blamed on metal fatigue". The entire last paragraph is supported by a dead link, but I am assuming good faith on that. Other: This doesn't hold up the nomination, but the first sentence of the lead section is pretty confusing. I highly recommend rewriting it. Hook: ALT1 is too long, so I wrote out ALT2, which is still supported by in-line citations in the article. I didn't check the citation for the original hook. Conclusion If you like my ALT2 hook and you take care of the two issues on adequate sourcing, then this nomination will be good to proceed. Dugan Murphy (talk) 17:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Dugan Murphy, thank you for your comments. I have added a source for the metal fatigue, rewrote the first sentence and fixed the dead refs. Also, I like your ALT2. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 17:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Overall: @Srnec: The article was created on 11 March. It has a readable prose size of 1986 characters. Each paragraph has a reference. WP:EARWIG shows no copyright problems. The hook is interesting and supported by the quoted passage. QPQ was done.
By the way, it might be good to add a wikilink for the term "florilegium" in the lead since not all readers may not be aware of its meaning. Phlsph7 (talk) 10:51, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

- The QPQ check tool to the right counts only 14. I don't really trust the QPQ tool that much because it barely counts 40% of my own nominations.

Regrettably, since this has already been reviewed, you cannot reuse Lemnos QPQ for some other nomination, so there's no point in withdrawing this nom (and it seems a shame not to have it go through).

- Article is new enough and long enough. The article is well-sourced, neutral, and BLP-compliant. Earwig looks good. The images are freely licensed, and the hook image is used in the article and clear at a smaller size. Both QPQs have been done. I've marked one paragraph as needing a citation and in the subsection for Okanagrion liquetoalatum, there is a paragraph without any citations and a species missing where I've placed a clarification tag. I was unsure about the phrase in the lead "attributed to high latitude high alpha diversity", but maybe it just needs a comma? I also wondered if "Tranquille Formations McAbee Fossil Beds" shouldn't be "Traquille Formation's McAbee Fossil Beds". The hooks are interesting. I couldn't find verification for the first one, but I'm prepared to accept it in good faith. gobonobo + c 22:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Gobonobo: I corrected the missing citation and the missing species that you noted, added the needed apostrophe for "Tranquille Formation's". As for alpha diversity, its high Alpha diversity at a high latitude with corresponding high beta diversity due to low seasonality so it means more species in a small space during Ypresian in the highlands then one sees in the same region now.--Kevmin § 18:12, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

- Other problems: - It's inconsistent to say he prevented them from going insolvent when the source says they were already insolvent:
...Brown County Circuit Judge Henry Graass appointed Jonet receiver of the insolvent Green Bay Football Corporation on Aug. 13, 1933
For the hook's wording, I believe that being bankrupt or insolvent does not necessarily mean that company has folded. Maybe change "going insolvent" to "shutting down"?

- "that prisoners of Nazi concentration camps were referred to only by number, and were so dehumanized that they spoke of their given names in the past tense?" (155 chars)

We already know, for example, that Nazi prisoners were referred to as numbers, given the identification of inmates in Nazi concentration camps. That you are highlighting a "newly translated memoir" to point to this, gives the reader the impression that this is new information.

- True, numbers are not a new element and we don't want to make it seem that it is. However what is new, and I haven't seen this anywhere else (and I'm familiar with Holocaust literature), is that prisoners referred to their own names in the past tense. How about this:

Overall: Earwig really dislikes "originally published in Hungarian in Yugoslavia in 1950" and "translated into more than a dozen languages", so figure out a way to rewrite those phrases. I realize some people might let that pass, but I think it should be easy to rephrase it so that it stands out from the original source.

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 01:41, 25 March 2024 (UTC) QPQ satisfied, 2 noms per backlog rules. No pics. Article nominated 3 days after creation. Sourcing checks out and is reasonably reliable, spot checks of sources shows no immediate concerns. Everything is cited and MOS is good enough, I'm not thrilled with some of the layout but this is a personal stylistic preference. Spot checks find no copy-vios, earwig is clear. Fact is present within the article and properly cited by the above sources. No other issues noted, passing.

Overall: @Reconrabbit: The article was moved to mainspace on March 13. It has 2097 characters readable prose size. Each claim has a reference. WP:EARWIG shows no copyright problems. No QPQ is required.
For ALT0: the source says early 1940s rather than precisely 1940, but another source confirms 1940.
For ALT1: the source says Community Field Park was split from Anniversary Hill Park by the construction of Interstate 91
. I don't know enough about the geography of Holyoke to assess whether this confirms the claim that Scott Tower...was cut off from the rest of the city
. I think ALT0 is more interesting anyways so I would go with that. If we wanted to use ALT1 then we would have to recheck the sources.
Some comments on the article:
Improvements proposed from 2021 would allow
replace "from" with "in"- from [34]:
The park quickly became a destination for picnickers, sledders, and nature lovers
andthe original Anniversary Hill Park ... was split by I-91 in the 1960s. This limited access and led to a steep decline in public use over the following decades
: I don't think that these facts are properly mentioned in the article. What do you think about including this before-after contrast? Phlsph7 (talk) 14:16, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- I've made the changes suggested to clarify the differences between pre- and post-highway construction. Great catch there. I'm not too hot on Kestrel Land Trust as a source just because it's a little too invested in the goings-on at the park to be a completely independent source, but it's at the very least not user generated content. Anyone with access to historical records of the Holyoke Daily Transcript and Telegram will be able to improve this whole thing by a lot.
- I provided ALT1 as a suggestion since it's a sort of ironic result for the park to be cut off (maybe it's not especially clear since there are so few sources in the period immediately after 1960). Speaking as a recent visitor, the "cut off" part is pretty clear. You can see it on a map: you have the entire Holyoke/Oakdale downtown region on the east side of the highway, and the parking lot and playground right on the edge of the highway, and you have to go underneath to reach the rest of the park (which is blocked by a gate). Reconrabbit 21:56, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Looks good. I made slight adjustments to the new text since it was very close to the formulations in the source. For now, I'll just approve ALT0, sorry if I'm too cautious. If you're fine with ALT0 then there is no need to change anythng. If you think it's important to have ALT1 as an alternative then the easiest solution would be to reformulate it to more closely reflect what the source says.
Wilner Burke

Source: "During his 42-year association with the Packers, Burke built the Lumberjack Band into a unit which not only became synonymous with the team, but gained its own fame and following through its lively performances at both games and special events. Vince Lombardi once called it "the best playing band in the National Football League." Along with directing the band, Burke also could pitch in and play the saxophone."

Overall: @Zeete: The article was created on 13 March. It has a readable prose size of 2780 characters. WP:EARWIG did not find any copyright violations.

The image looks good and fulfills the license requirements. Each claim has a reference but I'm not particularly happy about the three Twitter/X sources. The claims they support are relatively basic so I'm not sure whether replacing them is strictly speaking necessary but it would be good if that is possible. What is your take on them?

Islamic vegetarianism
- ... that some Sufis were strict vegans? Source: Leaman, Oliver; Shaikh, Zinnira (2022). "Heresy or Moral Imperative? Islamic Perspectives on Veganism". Routledge handbook of Islamic ritual and practice.Quote: "In Sufism, veganism was often a practice used to achieve a certain spiritual goal; it was centred around the improvement of humans who practised it, rather than the animals whose lives were spared, although the latter also held value, as creatures of God."
- ALT1 ... that Muslim vegetarians replace the Eid sacrifice with donations or fasting? Source: Leaman, Oliver; Shaikh, Zinnira (2022). "Heresy or Moral Imperative? Islamic Perspectives on Veganism". Routledge handbook of Islamic ritual and practice.Quote: "Masri states that the “original purpose of offering gifts (hady) at the sacred house of Kaʻbah was to succour the ancient Meccans who were the descendants of Prophet Abraham in response to his prayer in verse 14:37”. At the time, offering meat was the best thing to do since it was in the middle of an infertile land. Now that the Meccans are more than able to provide food of all sorts for themselves, gifting meat is not only unnecessary but a nuisance for the government to deal with. Masri proposes gifting cash instead, since this can be more useful. He notes that the Qur´an itself offers alternatives, even in the form of acts of worship, such as fasting, feeding the poor, or “whatever kind of offering is available” in verse 2:196.10."

Newness and length are ok, both hooks are interesting, AGF on them, since most of the sources are offline. Earwig's copyvio toll gives a mere 9% on the online sources. No QPQ needed.

Policy compliance:
- a source of marginal reliability, and so it shouldn't be used for a politically-sensitive, BLP-sensitive claim. I see that the Guardian cite verifies everything except the archbishop's name... Presumably there is some coverage from back in 2009, when he said this?
- Neutral:

- Other problems: - Going to be a little picky here on overquoting: I don't have a problem with the amount of quoting used for Clifford's personal experiences etc., but the statement about Jahwism seems like something that we could easily say in our own voice.

QPQ: - So, you've nominated 6 articles before, and on 2 of those 6 you submitted QPQs voluntarily even though you were exempt. This is a kind thing to have done, and it would sort of make sense if you got to keep those exemptions for a rainy day, and I'm guessing that's how the reviewer on your last nomination thought it works too (courtesy ping Just-a-can-of-beans). But, for better or for worse, that's not how it works. Once you hit 5 nominations, QPQs are required, even if you didn't use all 5 exemptions. So, please do submit a QPQ for this article when you have a moment.
Overall:
- Hello again! Thank you for taking your time out to review this article, very pleased to meet you again. Finding the name of the archbishop who said this was surprisingly difficult; I've removed the Newsweek source and his name as it doesn't make a big difference in the grand scheme of things. I've tried to re-word the comments on Jahwism but to be honest I'm not sure how else to phrase it - if you have any suggestions on improvement I appreciate it. Submitted a QPQ now, thank you for letting me know! –GnocchiFan (talk) 14:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Changes look good to me. QPQ is satisfactory. I also took a stab at finding an RS clearly naming the archbishop, and also came up empty. But the fact that such a simple thing isn't said explicitly anywhere is a good indication that there might be some sourcing issue here, so I think it's a good call to just cut the name entirely. But at that point, I'm hesitant to put this statement in a hook, if the most proximate source we have verifying the quote is from 5 years after the fact, refers to him only by his title, and does not give the context he said this in. Like, [36] is pretty alarming, and it makes me wonder if this is actually a paraphrase of Clifford's own paraphrase of something. (Note [37].) Having it in the article is one thing (The Guardian is generally reliable and there's no "smoking gun" that they did something wrong here), but putting it in a hook on the Main Page.... I don't know. Again, I'm hesitant. So you have a few options here, @GnocchiFan:
- Somehow find whatever source neither of us can find.

- Interesting. I can seem to find other generally reliable sources which use this quote, but they all seem to date after the 2014 interview – perhaps you are right. For the avoidance of doubt, I have removed this quote from the article and added one from the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Glasgow Mario Conti, who does have contemporaneous sourcing for his claims – perhaps this is where the mix-up has happened?

- Changes look good to me. QPQ is satisfactory. I also took a stab at finding an RS clearly naming the archbishop, and also came up empty. But the fact that such a simple thing isn't said explicitly anywhere is a good indication that there might be some sourcing issue here, so I think it's a good call to just cut the name entirely. But at that point, I'm hesitant to put this statement in a hook, if the most proximate source we have verifying the quote is from 5 years after the fact, refers to him only by his title, and does not give the context he said this in. Like, [36] is pretty alarming, and it makes me wonder if this is actually a paraphrase of Clifford's own paraphrase of something. (Note [37].) Having it in the article is one thing (The Guardian is generally reliable and there's no "smoking gun" that they did something wrong here), but putting it in a hook on the Main Page.... I don't know. Again, I'm hesitant. So you have a few options here, @GnocchiFan:
- Hello again! Thank you for taking your time out to review this article, very pleased to meet you again. Finding the name of the archbishop who said this was surprisingly difficult; I've removed the Newsweek source and his name as it doesn't make a big difference in the grand scheme of things. I've tried to re-word the comments on Jahwism but to be honest I'm not sure how else to phrase it - if you have any suggestions on improvement I appreciate it. Submitted a QPQ now, thank you for letting me know! –GnocchiFan (talk) 14:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

- New enough (submitted within two days of creation), long enough (3949 characters). Well sourced, though I would point out that the link to the first source referenced is broken. No apparent copyvio per spotcheck of online source; AGF on offline book. Article is "presentable" enough, though the image in the infobox is very poor and should be upgraded with another image before the article appears on the main page. (On the other hand, at least there is an infobox.) ALT1 checks out per the cited source, although I've changed "Hawaii Island" to "the island of Hawaii" above, as the latter expression is more common and it's also consistent with the cited source. ALT0 also checks out, but I've now upgraded the Newspapers.com URL provided in the references to link to an actual clipping to make it accessible to readers who don't have accounts. One QPQ has been completed, but because this is now the nominator's 79th DYK nomination, a second QPQ is required to assist with the emergency backlog. @Ezlev: Thank you for creating and nominating this article.

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: QPQ done. Thorough GAN review here suggests great care was taken in writing this; concur. Sourcing is great, and it is pretty neutral/encompasses several perspectives (e.g. coverage of "History" section). Reviewer did spotchecks of offline sources, so I take it in good faith there was no plagiarism, OR, or issues with source-text integrity. Prefer ALT2 although I note the fact itself is not explicitly mentioned in the hook. Second preference for ALT0. Really good nomination; just have a really minor concern. Elias 🪐 (dreaming of Saturn; talk here) 08:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Elias and thanks for doing this review. In relation to ALT2, I assume you mean that the fact in the hook is not explicitly mentioned in the article. That's correct, it is indirectly covered in the 2nd paragraph of the subsection "Others" by how the terms are defined but this may not be sufficient. I added a footnote now to cover this explicitly.

- Article was promoted to GA and the nomination was put in at the proper time. Article is within policy. The only issue here are the hooks, neither of which are of any interest and both of which make a tenuous connection to the number of the beast that isn't supported by the sources.

No subjective issues are present, and a minor correction is needed for the Alt reference to include page 87, not only page 88. el.ziade (talkallam) 11:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

The article was actually a pre-existing article and thus isn't a new creation. It should have been indicated in the nomination that it was a 5x expansion, which is actually what happened.I didn't find any close paraphrasing, and QPQs have been provided. Both of the hooks are cited inline; I can't access ALT1's sources so AGF. My preference is ALT0; however, I think it could be revised slightly. The hook does say "allegedly", but the hook gives the impression that it was the only version of the events even though the article gives alternative narratives. My suggestion would be to rephrase ALT0 and change the attribution: instead of saying "allegedly", the hook could instead attribute it to "some sources". I'd also suggest saying "music score" instead of just "score" to add a little more context. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:45, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5 This was not a five time expansion. Read the comments section. It was a redirect to an Australian football player (the original article was a short lived stub on the football player that was then redirected by its creator; that person is now covered at the dab page at Josef Weiß) I created the article on the pianist and composer from scratch.4meter4 (talk) 01:11, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that some sources claim pianist Josef Weiss attacked conductor Gustav Mahler with his music score during a rehearsal with the New York Philharmonic (newspaper coverage pictured)?
- Sounds fair. I'm approving ALT2 and ALT1, with a preference for ALT1. The picture is okay and looks clear enough for the main page and is also in the public domain. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

QPQ: - not needed
Overall: A good start article – would be good to have some more biographical information and possibly a picture if possible. But other than that. The article is eligible with an interesting hook and no copyright violations. Source is offline but I have no reason to believe it doesn't back up the hook.
