Instructions for nominators
[edit]If this is your first nomination, please read the DYK rules before continuing. Further information can be found at the DYK guidelines.
Frequently asked questions
[edit]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
[edit]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:
If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a lineArticle length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.
:* <!-- 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.

How to remove a rejected hook
[edit]- 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]- 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
[edit]- 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.

Hello, Will629. The nomination is timely and the article is long enough with no copyvios detected. Several entries in the Discography table, as well as the Awards and nominations table, appear unsourced, though. These would require references.

: Article is new enough, and long enough, and predominantly soured with public domain content so no apparent copyright issues. However, I find none of the hooks interesting to a wide audience (an increasingly common issue with DYK). And despite the article title, no reliable sources seem to use the middle initial "B.": where does this come from? And spot checking sources, Battle 1890 does not seem to have a page 170, nor mention David Gillespie anywhere. --Animalparty! (talk) 16:32, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- I originally used the wrong book as the source. The source I was using had combined the two books in one pdf and I had missed that. Also, concerning his middle name, I suppose you are saying that "Death at Red Springs". The Weekly Star. Vol. XXIX. Wilmington, North Carolina: North Carolina Newspapers, Digital North Carolina. June 10, 1898. p. 1. is not a reliable source for this? If so, could you please clarify if that is correct? Aneirinn (talk) 18:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- If that newspaper obit (including its earlier printing on June 5, 1898) is the only source using "B", and no scholar has used it since, then it's most likely a one-off error (typos, misspellings, and incorrect info is common in short obits from the time): note there was a Dr. David B(ryson) Gillespie of Bladen County who died in 1905 mentioned in NC newspapers, and may have caused conflation. Find a Grave uses the middle B, but it's an unreliable user-generated source and the tombstone image does not corroborate it. Since David Gillespie (politician) already exists, David Gillespie (surveyor) or David Gillespie (American politician) may be more appropriate titles in line with predominant form of name. --Animalparty! (talk) 19:40, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Dr. David B. Gillespie (February 24, 1815–January 2, 1905), who attended the Medical College of South Carolina, [Source:Catalogue of the Students Attending Lectures in the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, Session 1837–'38. Charleston: James S. Burges, 85 East-Bay. 1838. p. 6 – via Medical University of South Carolina, Waring Historical Library.] was a son of Major David B. Gillespie. [Source:"Descendants of David Gillespie" (PDF). NCGenWeb.] I think it is likely that the writer of the twice-published obituary wrote 'Major' David B. Gillespie for a reason, and that Dr. David B Gillespie is named after his father, which would have them both with middle names that start with the letter 'B'. This point of contention is not really an issue; however, I find it hard to believe that people would find the initial proposal or ALT1 dull or uninteresting. It is significant and interesting that, according to Kemp P. Battle, David B. Gillespie was the first person granted a document in the form of a diploma from the University of North Carolina, the oldest public university to confer degrees in the United States. This would also make David B. Gillespie the first person in the United States to receive a document in the form of a diploma from a public university. If more alternative hooks are necessary, I'm willing to provide additional options. Aneirinn (talk) 02:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- I am entirely at odds with the previous sentence. MOS:NAME says "The most complete name should appear at the beginning of the article to provide maximum information.

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Article was moved to the mainspace on July 13 and nominated the same day. Length is adequate. Sourcing is mostly complete, but I have two questions: Please clarify the question above on the footnote for the birthdate, and the source for the quotebox titled "For Susan Amelia Coe". I'm also curious on the purpose of the quotebox, as I am not sure how it is relevant. The article appears neutral in tone, and no plagiarism was detected. All images used in the article have a public domain license on the Commons. The nominated image is clear at a resolution and enhances the hook. QPQ has been completed although it was not required. All of the proposed hooks are verbose, and depend on the reader's knowledge of Tony Goldwyn and Robert Coe (colonist). I feel like these are not globally known persons and detract from the interest in clicking on Nathaniel Coe. I think shorter hooks would work better here, without the family members mentioned. Will wait for the nominator to reply before further analysis on the hooks. Overall the article looks to be in good shape and is a welcome contribution to Wikipedia!

The practice of tukdam involves the practitioner's consciousness remaining in a meditative state known as the "Clear Light Stage" after death
" The National Geographic source cited does not present it as settled, "“If I had just casually walked into the room, I would have thought he was sitting in deep meditation,” Davidson says, his voice on the phone still a little awestruck. “His skin looked totally fresh and viable, no decomposition whatsoever.” The sense of the dead man’s presence, even at close range, helped inspire Davidson to study thukdam scientifically. He has assembled some basic medical equipment, such as EEGs and stethoscopes, at two field stations in India and has trained an on-site team of 12 Tibetan physicians to test these monks—preferably beginning while they’re still alive—to see whether any brain activity continues after their death.

[edit]Masada myth
- ... that although Israel honored 27 ancient Masada skeletons with a state funeral in 1969, the story of "freedom fighters' patriotic last stand" is now known to be a myth?
- Source: Ben-Yehuda, Nachman (1996). Masada Myth: Collective Memory and Mythmaking in Israel. University of Wisconsin Press. ISBN 978-0-299-14833-1, p. xxi: "The bones of twenty-seven humans found on Masada are brought to burial in an official state ceremony."; pages 241-243: "The affair began in October 1963… Immediately, there were newspaper reports to the effect that the remains were probably of the fighters of Masada, and a state burial ceremony was called for. This issue was raised in March 1967, once again, by the same Shlomo Lorentz of the ultra-Orthodox party Agudat Israel. In a blazing speech in the Knesset he demanded that the remains of the skeletons found on Masada should be given a Jewish burial. Mr. Aharon Yadlin, then the minister of culture and education, pointed out that the Jewish identity of the skeletons had not been established and suggested passing the whole issue on to one of the Knesset’s committees. His suggestion was accepted. In fact, the Knesset’s Committee on Culture and Education held a discussion with Yadin on this particular issue in February and March of 1968… On March 12, 1969, Yigael Yadin told Haaretz that he was opposed to a public burial ceremony. He stated that the evidence of the identity of the skeletons was not conclusive enough. He also stated that he believed that the bones were those of the people of Masada but that he lacked definitive proof. In response to this, the spokesman for the Ministry of Religious Affairs stated the next day, also in Haaretz, that “the heroes of Masada came there from Jerusalem and fought the war of the holy city; therefore, it is only natural that their bones would find their final resting place on the Mount of Olives, which was a Jewish cemetery during the days of the Second Temple…. on July 7, 1969, the skeletons that had been uncovered by Yadin’s excavations about five years earlier were brought to burial in a full and formal military ceremony near Masada, at a place called “the hill of the defenders… An impressive array of dignitaries (including Menachem Begin, Yigael Yadin, and Rabbi Shlomo Goren) were present at the burial ceremonies."

I don't think this is that bad to deserve a cross, but you'll definitely want to add a cite to the first paragraph of Yadin's executions at minimum, and that's before interrogating any of the sources.--Launchballer 14:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Launchballer: I have added a cross-ref (it had been referenced at the end of the paragraph, but the paragraph was then split in to two). Re the IP's comments, the citation quote gives all the info about the funeral, and the rest of his book is about the myth. I guess the IP is referring to the latter question. I can bring some more quotes if helpful.
- For context, all the sources in the article say essentially the same thing – there is only one known original source for this event, Josephus. The Israeli national myth version differs from that story in a number of significant ways. We can add some nuance to the words "is now known to be a myth" if that is helpful, but the underlying point is beyond doubt.
- Onceinawhile (talk) 16:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's not a question of "nuance." There is no consensus - as incorrectly and blatantly stated - in RS refs that it "is now known to be a myth." That's simply fake news. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:A91E:FA5D:EAB2:D6B0 (talk) 21:10, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- The wording that it "is now known to be a myth" is simply not supported by the source provided. Perhaps "believed by some to be a myth" or even better "described by one scholar as a myth" could be supported by the citation, but "is now known to be a myth" embellishes the source far beyond any justifiable limit.

... in promoting a BLP hook when there is new (negative) development? While this is regarding a specific DYK nom, I generally have been inactive in the DYK area hence a lack of knowledge of the norms on DYK reviewing on my part, thus the question here. This is also at no fault of anyone involved in the DYK item thus far. DYK/David Yong was reviewed and approved in July 2024. Almost one month later now in August, he was recently arrested and charged in Singapore for some financial crimes. In this circumstance, will the BLP hook be queued for the Main Page still? If so, which hook will be used? ALT0 or ALT1? – robertsky (talk) 18:36, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
|
- From the discussion above: I definitely do think that the recent news does impact ALT1, though ALT0 doesn't seem to be impacted by this, other than the mention of Yong. The reviewer, Bsoyka, did prefer ALT0, and I almost don't see a problem with it being accepted, other than given the recent news on Yong's financial problems, which does make me re-think that for a bit. ~ Tails Wx 03:06, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- WP:DYKBLP suggests avoiding undue attention on contentious information, but negative developments do not disqualify a subject from being on DYK as long as BLP and other guidelines/policies are followed.

Also, to clarify my previous statement, I had not fully evaluated everything and thus hadn't used any official symbols (which would imply a full review). I agree that the hook needs to be workshopped a fair bit to make it less promotional, I do think however, that the hook is cited given that the article in general talks about Splitwise in the context of handling money related conversations. -- Sohom (talk) 19:54, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at the article, the article tone may be a more significant issue than the hook. The "Functionality" section vaguely reads like an advertisement, which is probably not the intention but it could still benefit from a rewrite. The "History" section might not meet WP:Proseline and so probably needs revision. The issues aren't insurmountable, but they do need to be addressed for the nomination to pass.

- All right. The article is both new enough (having been created just a few days ago) and long enough; more than 5.000 characters.
- The sources all are reliable and from mostly high-quality periodicals.
- A video is used within the hook, but it is in the public domain, having been created by the White House of America.
- Both hooks are properly cited, with sources that correspond to their location in the article.
- From what I see, QPQ still needs to be done.
- For the hooks themselves, both of them could work. Admittedly, both are somewhat on the humorous side, but I guess that's the point. To hook the reader onto the article. The main hook especially is quite funny (subjective view) and takes advantage of the "Did you know that [XX]" portion of the DYK nominations. However, the second hook also brings up the word "coconut", which has become a meme of its own. Regarding this I'm curious, @Spaghettifier:, I don't suppose you have another hook in mind that uses the word "coconut tree" in it? Maybe "that Kamala Harris' mother asked her if she "just fell out of a coconut tree"?" or akin to that? PanagiotisZois (talk) 21:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @PanagiotisZois: thank you for the review! The QPQ is complete here. With regard to the hook, I'd prefer to make ALT0 work if possible — it's lighthearted but pretty widely recognizable at this point, and an iconic part of the article. If we need to go with something more straightforward/coconut-centric, another idea might be using this LA Times quote from the reception section:

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Article was created on July 25, and nominated less than a week later on August 1. Overall length is adequate, although the "Present" and "Light Rail" section are rather short. These could be expanded a bit, so that this article does not look like a work in progress. There is one citation needed tag to resolve in the "Regional" section. The article is neutral in tone, and no plagiarism was detected. I have several concerns about the hook. The hook uses WP:PEACOCK terms such as "venerated" and "grand". A more neutral hook is needed, perhaps something more specific about the plans. Also, the hook appears to be sourced to one large paragraph with three citations all at the end. As per WP:DYKCRIT, the citation must come immediately after the sentence which supports the hook, not at the end of the paragraph. All images used in this article have a public license domain on the Commons. QPQ requirement is complete. Overall, it is an interesting article but needs work to adhere to DYK criteria. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 17:06, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Flibirigit: Thank you for your assessment. The light rail section is short because it is covered mainly in a seperate article. The 'Present' section is short because, other than light rail, there is not much today to talk about. I have removed the content that was in need of a citation. I have amended the hook and put forth an alternative hook as well which is more specific. I have amended the reference placement in the paragraph. I hope you or someone else can renew your assessment in light of these changes. Kind regards, Will Thorpe (talk) 12:41, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

sorry all, haven't spent much sustained time on WP recently.

[edit]Kevin Mejía

- Source: La Prensa (2015) and La Prensa (2023); also the only medalist listed at Honduras at the 2015 Pan American Games and Honduras at the 2023 Pan American Games
BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:25, 3 August 2024 (UTC).
Article is new. At 1671 characters it just passes the 1500 minimum, although I'm unsure full start class is warranted. The sources will need access-dates.I am unsure about the first couple of sentences, the source does not explicitly say the childhood was spent in Triunfo de la Cruz, and at any rate it does say he left to Tegucigalpa at 13 so he did some growing up there too. "hermanos" also does not mean only brothers, it is used for the group of both genders. Not a DYKcrit, but the fourth sentence should really spell out COH, and there is a disconnect between the lead sentence and the body regarding flag bearer or co-flag bearer. Regarding "bronze medal at the cadet world championships in Hungary", the source says he was in the cadet category, not that cadet was the name of the tournament (after a bit of research, probably the World Junior Wrestling Championships already mentioned in the next paragraph, in the 15-17 category).Haven't checked the other paragraphs, but moving onto the hook, I can't verify the 2015 portion from the source, may be missing it although it appears correct. That said it's not the most interesting hook, is there anything other than an athlete winning medals in the sources? QPQ needed. CMD (talk) 11:08, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

- @Chipmunkdavis: Apologies for the delay. QPQ is done. I made some changes ([5]), including clarifying COH, changing 'brothers' to 'one of five children', re-wording Triunfo de la Cruz, addressing the 'co' flagbearer, etc. Looking at the source again, I realize that it mentions, through Google Translate, "It is worth remembering that Mejía won the only silver medal in Honduras in the last XVII Pan American Games of Toronto 2015" – which is odd because from what I can find, they only had one medalist that year. Let me know if you'd like me to dig further to find one mentioning him as the 'sole' medalist. I did find that hook kind of interesting, but I can try to find another if you'd like. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm, more curiously, either you and I both missed this or it's been updated, but his year of birth is currently 1995. Confirmed here by his age, which also notes he was the only Honduran to enter the 2024 Olympics by qualifying, and the specific entry into the 97kg category could be mentioned. Also he has a son, and this source confirms a childhood in Triunfo de la Cruz and has a nice anecdote about selling spinning tops.Regarding the hook, the sources seem to put a lot of emphasis of him being the only qualifying Honduran. That's not too catchy either, but I understand the sports angle, perhaps one or two sports alts and a promoter may pick one. CMD (talk) 07:04, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:DYKHOOK, "The hook should include a definite fact that is unlikely to change, and citations in the article that are used to support the hook fact must verify the hook and be reliable." Do we know for a fact that J1407b might be a free-floating planet or a brown dwarf? It doesn't seem so. Your current version says it is not a brown dwarf.

- I don't agree, it comes off as unduly promoting one side without covering the opposing perspective. Although it is usually not be possible to give all context in a dyk, one should at least attempt not to be one-sided. Part of the problem is that the article never really covers the central reason for the protests. It does cover disputes about the status of LGBT Palestinians but not the overall war/genocide that is generating the protest to begin with. (t · c) buidhe 05:04, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

I will do a full review of this later, but for now my main concern is the hook. The claim of it being the cleanest lake in Asia is an exceptional claim, so per WP:DYKHOOK and WP:EXCEPTIONAL would require exceptional sourcing. Right now the article uses The Straits Times as the source for the fact: it is yellow on WP:RSP, which generally means it is to be used with caution on Wikipedia, and its suitability is a case-by-case thing. In this case, it may not be completely safe for it to be what supports the source. Either more independent or stronger sourcing should be found, or a different hook be proposed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:43, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, propose this one: ALT1:... that a tribe performed rituals in a lake to let outsiders use it? Source:TST this hook uses the Straits times, let me know if it's okay or not.
🍗TheNuggeteer🍗
12:36, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
ALT1 should be okay as the article isn't about the Singaporean government and there's no reason to doubt that the ST is unreliable in this case. The main issue right now is that part of the article appears to be a close paraphrase of the Straits Times article, so that needs urgent attention. The sourcing in the article isn't the best since it seems to rely on tourist guide websites, but for the purpose of the article it probably isn't disqualifying since they aren't used to support contentious information. As for the rest of the DYK checks, the article is new enough and long enough and a QPQ has been provided. In addition for the need to resolve the close paraphrasing, the article could also use a copyedit. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:05, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- One final suggestion: as the claim of it being the cleanest lake in Asia is an exceptional claim, and I do not believe that the sources provided are exceptional sources, my suggestion would be to make the statement in the article less definitive. Something like "The Straits Times stated that the lake is reputed..." or wording to that effect. Maybe Launchballer can help out here with the wording and copyediting? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:58, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- A possible alternate wording of ALT1, if for whatever reason it does not pass scrutiny, could be something like:
- ALT3 ... that prior to allowing outsiders to visit Kayangan Lake, the Tagbanwa tribe performed a ritual to seek permission from nature spirits?
- It's much longer than ALT2 and I think ALT2 is still suitable, this is just a backup option. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:01, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

- I am really not liking some of the sources used in this article - Journey Era, Philippinetravels.ph, and Richandsunnytravels.ph are all WP:SPS blogs and Guidetothephilippines.ph is a travel agency. What makes them reliable?--Launchballer 14:45, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- They're travel websites that give information about the subject. They aren't ideal, but it's often the case that coverage about less well-known Philippine destinations are lacking. As long as they aren't being used to support contentious information, as in what they're saying is uncontroversial and unlikely to be made up, I don't necessarily see them as a problem for DYK purposes. This isn't aiming for FA or even GA. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:08, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Having said that, the claim of it being the cleanest lake in Asia is an exceptional claim, and I'm not comfortable with how it is currently presented as a fact in the article. As stated above, my suggestion would be for it to be attributed to the Straits Times, while also making the presentation less definite. If this isn't addressed, I can't see this article running on DYK since that statement will likely be challenged at WT:DYK and/or WP:ERRORS.

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

Abortion in Senegal
- ... that Senegal, where abortion is illegal, is known as a "pioneer" of post-abortion care?
- Source: [11] Suh explores how anxieties about the MVA kit's capacity to induce abortion, which is illegal in Senegal, have constrained its integration into routine care. Dubbed the "PAC pioneer of West Africa," Senegal is celebrated for having been among the first countries to decentralize post-abortion care from large urban hospitals to smaller facilities in rural areas.

@TarheelBornBred: More of a comment for now rather than a review, but the issue with ALT2 is that it might not meet WP:DYKINT. A reader unfamiliar with college football and its intricacies may not get what "five-star recruit" and "All-American" are, especially if they are outside of America like the majority of readers. Ideally, a hook should be as understandable to as many people as possible without requiring too much context, and I don't think the hook meets that.

Phlsph7 (talk) 11:52, 11 August 2024 (UTC).
- Not a review, but two friendly comments. First, Agricultural revolution in ALT0 is a disambiguation page (I'm guessing it refers to the First agricultural revolution, which redirects to Neolithic Revolution). Second, if it's possible to make a hook about life expectancy and/or child mortality, that could be a very interesting hook indeed—I know I found John Green's video "Most People Have Never Been 20" interesting. TompaDompa (talk) 12:26, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out, I fixed the link. A hook on changes to life expectancy could be interesting. I think the article only covers this in the sentence Advances in medical science led to a sharp increase in global life expectancy from about 31 years in 1900 to over 66 years in 2000.[552], which does not give us much to work with. Maybe:
- ALT3:
... that in modern human history, advances in medical science helped raise global life expectancy from about 31 years in 1900 to over 66 years in 2000. - Phlsph7 (talk) 12:53, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not a big fan of ALT2, which is rather anachronistic: for most of human history, children did not live in societies in which "public education" was a meaningful concept. Given the wide scope of this article, I think a hook that encompasses a broad timescale would make the most sense. – Joe (talk) 11:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Many societies didn't really have public education so children didn't have access to it. Maybe you are concerned about something like the following: some readers may misconstrue the statement as implying that these societies did have public education but just not for most children. This is not what the hook says but it could happen. This problem could be solved by talking about formal education instead of public education but the claim in our article is about public education so this may not be acceptable according to the DYK rules. Phlsph7 (talk) 12:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- What I mean is that 'public education' to be a meaningful concept there first needs to exist the idea of a formal education and a state that provides public services, neither of which existed for "most of human history". In other words I think the hook anachronistically implies that children were missing out on something that was not even conceptualisable until recently. Kind of like saying "for most of human history, satellites did not use reusable launch vehicles". Technically true, but not very meaningful. – Joe (talk) 09:36, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Can people miss out on something for which they lack the relevant concepts? For example, the ancient Egyptians didn't have the concept of antibiotics. Can we say that "the ancient Egyptians didn't have access to antibiotics"? To my ears, this sounds acceptable. But I'm also open to different ways of expressing the idea.

- What I mean is that 'public education' to be a meaningful concept there first needs to exist the idea of a formal education and a state that provides public services, neither of which existed for "most of human history". In other words I think the hook anachronistically implies that children were missing out on something that was not even conceptualisable until recently. Kind of like saying "for most of human history, satellites did not use reusable launch vehicles". Technically true, but not very meaningful. – Joe (talk) 09:36, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Many societies didn't really have public education so children didn't have access to it. Maybe you are concerned about something like the following: some readers may misconstrue the statement as implying that these societies did have public education but just not for most children. This is not what the hook says but it could happen. This problem could be solved by talking about formal education instead of public education but the claim in our article is about public education so this may not be acceptable according to the DYK rules.

- ALT3 is not very well sourced. It cites page 1 of The Twentieth Century: A World History, which doesn't cite any sources for these figures, and a textbook on marketing for the "due to advances in medical science" part, which also doesn't cite a source for this claim. Neither source make it clear what specific measure of life expectancy they're using, but it's probably life expectancy at birth, which was largely a function of infant mortality in premodern societies and therefore the change involved more factors than just medical science (also improvements in public health, contraception, reduction of child poverty and malnourishment, etc). – Joe (talk) 11:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- ALT3 is not my favorite either but I think the sources fulfill our requirements even though they themselves do not cite other sources for these claims. The hook says "helped raise" to not imply that there were no other factors. Phlsph7 (talk) 12:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

- I will review this nomination in the coming week! WatkynBassett (talk) 08:25, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- The article was created on 10 August 2024 and nominated on the same day. It is thus eligible.
- The article is sourced. I did some spot checks and the references checked out.
- The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone.
- Earwig did not pick up anything noteworthy.
- QPQ done.
- Hook review: I generally like the hook but I think it needs some further improvement:
- Which is the source you think best states the fact that just a few memoirs of Soviet POW in German captivity exist?
- Additionally two tweaks are necessary in my opinion: I think we cannot state that he "published" his memoir because it was published posthumously. Also, I did not find a source that sees this memoir as dealing with the deaths of 3 million POW.
- So maybe you can think of a rephrasing of the hook that only claims that he wrote the memoir and that it is one of the few memoirs of a Soviet POW in German captivity?
- If the issues concerning the hook are addressed I will gladly approve this nomination. Thank you for creating valuable free knowledge! WatkynBassett (talk) 18:57, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing. If you need another source for it, Gerlach says, "Unfortunately, few POW accounts were ever published". The book explicitly covers "das Sterben der Kameraden", the three million figure is given in the hook as it contrasts the scale of the atrocity to the lack of sources and memoirs about it. (t · c) buidhe 02:01, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- I must apologize for coming back to this so late; my life currently is a bit disorderly. I appreciate the cite; I think this first issue is fixed now. Nevertheless, I am still not convinced that we can say in wikivoice that the work is about the deaths of 3 million Soviet prisoners of war in German captivity - because this is not contained in any source. Would it therefore not be better to rephrase your hook in a way that highlights that Dawletschin wrote one of the only memoirs of the nearly six million Soviet prisoners of war, of which more than 3 million died?

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- The article was copied from the French Wikipedia
Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- The NYT source does not support the hook as written because it only covers the US landings but there were British and Canadian beaches on D-Day too. A claim of first/last is a
Redflag and so needs excellent verification.
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- "Believed" is a weasel word and/or expression of doubt. If this is a definite fact, as it should be, then we should state it as such without such tentative language.

Elevator pitch to increase appeal of subject matter
|
---|
Many years ago, European royal families were the most powerful politicians of their countries. Compare that to today, where (aside from Pope Francis) royalty serve as figureheads in kingdoms such as Belgium and Sweden. Or, in the case of the United Kingdom, you have a family of princes as the ultimate form of soft power, appealing to the masses worldwide through their charity work and family milestones. Arguably, nowhere is this soft power more popular (at least for now) than in the form of Prince William, on deck to be king of the birthplace of the English language, the Great White North, Down Under, and 12 other countries. By presenting this article on Did you know, readers will learn much more about the public's fascination with this prince on the big screen and small screen alike. From two films on his wedding to a documentary on his advocacy for climate change, there will be plenty of intrigue and critique that will not disappoint! |
Finally, as a more serious comment, I would like to note that this page's parent article appeared on Did you know less than a year ago as of this post. If this affects eligibility, please let me know.

- There are a lot of Harvard errors in the citations and referencing. If you haven't already, I suggest installing this script to catch and fix them.
- The two sources cited here are not really up to the bar of WP:RS. We need published works, ideally in print, by people acknowledged as experts in their field. Fortunately, Napoleon is not short of people who have written good academic work about him.
- The hooks need to be explicitly stated within the article itself: neither of these two seem to be.
I would suggest giving the article a fix for the citations, and then looking for two or three good facts from within it for which you have good sources already cited.

The simple way to fix this is to make one Chandler 2006a and the other Chandler 2006b. I've seen the additions to the article, but would encourage you to read what I said about sourcing: this webpage is not a quality academic source. Honestly, I think there's more specific and more interesting material for hooks in the article anyway: can you come up with a couple that are cited to good-quality sources?

2. https://www.britannica.com/event/French-revolutionary-wars/Campaign-in-Italy (there is no consensus, but the information is non-controversial, so it should be fine)

Not a review, more of a comment: the current hook is very US-centric. The rivalry will probably be understood by US readers, but those outside the US may not be as familiar with the Gators-Seminoles rivalry. My suggestion would be to add some more context to the hook, like saying Olsson helped the Seminoles in their soccer championships. As written, the hook doesn't even make it clear that she's a soccer player! Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:20, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Would you consider a slight tweak to the hook like:

I realize it's almost the same. I think "lone" is not entirely necessary, and the emphasis could imply that no other people worked on the game at all. Also, it seems more direct and factual to say that she built the game than decided to build the game. If you're not interested in the ALT, feel free to strike.

This season on Extreme Makeover: Wikipedia Edition: A 1993 bestselling sensation that made millions for its compiler and led to several follow-ups, including a PBS animated series--and (par for the course with such ventures) a couple of competitors. (Ignoring his personal/career controversies and the age of the tales he collected.) Despite its status, its WP article never got the attention worthy of its legacy (in the 16! years since I last chanced upon editing it), hardly moving past the few paragraphs it was allocated back then. Think of the parable of the Good Samaritan,[1] and you'll realise my role in the proceedings this month. (Can't quite recall how I suddenly reapproached it days ago, though.)
I've heard talk that stubs are considered the ugly ducklings[1] of this project. Well, sir, I mustered up enough courage--and sacrificed enough time--to turn this specimen into a swan nineteen-fold by the time of this nomination (according to WP:Prosesize). (Cf. my efforts on Apparition (company) back during last year's Memorial season.)
As a side note, work on this DYK candidate coincided with the U.S. political conventions.
Even though this won't lead to a coveted Four Award, I'm in the running for the other three fragments. Could this lead to my first FA star in the next three or so months? Until then, wish me luck, and stay tuned for my next DYK nomination (before this month's over).

Overall: Howdy! This seems to be your first DYK, so welcome! I hope you have a wonderful time and I hope this can be an informative experience for you in your journey Iggypoptarts! Unfortunately though, this DYK nomination needs some work before it can be DYK eligible. I will guide you through some areas of strength and areas that need improvement before it can successfully pass.
To start, the article is plagiarism free (earwig detects matches with quoted passages), it is neutral, and it is long enough. These areas need no adjustment. However, there are several areas in which need to be improved upon before it is DYK eligible.
The article is not new enough, since it was made in August 2023. The most ideal area of improvement for you to allow it to pass eligibility is to expand it by 5 times its current length. Portions of the article are currently not cited, namely the "Records" section being wholly uncited as well as portions of the "Background" section. The hook is sourced within the article, but is very dry at the moment. There are definitely areas of improvement before this DYK nomination can go forward, and I hope you are able to rework this article as it seems promising!

[edit]Nuwhaha
- ... that the Nuwhaha people, despite sometimes being erroneously known as the "Upper Samish", do not speak the Samish language?
- Source: -"They did not speak Samish but were sometimes called 'upper Samish'" (Smith 1941)
-"These people, as I have already pointed out, should not be confused with the Samish who spoke a dialect of the Straits language. The people of duwaha or the Upper Samish instead spoke the Upper Skagit-Nisqually [archaic name for Lushootseed] group of languages." (Collins 1974)
- ALT1: ... that the Nuwhaha people, despite sometimes being known as the "Upper Samish", do not speak the Samish language? Source: Sampson (a Swinomish historian who had both Nuwhaha and Samish ancestry) was adamant in his source (repeating several times) that the usage of "Upper Samish" for the Nuwhaha is "wrong" and "erroneous." I think it warrants inclusion in the DYK personally, but it can be removed if it doesn't fit.

Overall: Nice work. Some minor issues. First, should the hook specify that it is the first racially integrated public housing development to match what the sources say? Also, in J. Lister Holmes, I read
In 1940, he was tasked by the Seattle Housing Authority to serve as the chief architect of the Yesler Terrace development, the first public housing development in the United States.
That doesn't sound right, given that the hook is referring to it as the first racially-integrated one? Clear these two things up and it should be good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:25, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Kitab-ı Bahriye

- Source: Goodrich, Thomas D. (2004). "The maps of the Kitab-i Bahriye of Piri Reis". Piri Reis Sempozyumu. Istanbul Military Museum. Archived from the original on 16 May 2015.
In the various copies of the Kitab-ı Bahriye there are more manuscript maps than that of any other cartographer ever. So far the total number of manuscript maps is 5704, and there is at least one manuscript whose maps are not yet tabulated.[...] The total may rise to 5800 [...]
- ALT1: ... that a sixteenth-century nautical atlas (pictured) is one of the few sources of information on its author, Piri Reis? Source: Soucek, Svat (1992). "Islamic Charting in the Mediterranean" (PDF). In Harley, J. B.; Woodward, D. (eds.). Cartography in the Traditional Islamic and South Asian Societies. Vol. 2. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. p. 266.
The first direct evidence we have of Ottoman chart-making is several extant works by the naval captain Mul;ylddin Piri Re'is (ca. 875-961/ca. 1470-1554). Re'is means captain in Turkish, but despite Piri Re'Is's position and long experiencein the Ottoman navy, almost no biographical information exists outside his own works, particularly the Kitab-i bahriye (Book of maritime matters), a manual of sailing directions.

- General eligibility:
- New enough:
- This doesn't seem to meet the WP:DYKNEW criteria: it was moved to mainspace more than seven days ago (28 April 2024), hasn't been expanded fivefold in the last seven days, and it hasn't been promoted to good article status. Since it was just nominated for good article status, I'd suggest withdrawing this DYK nomination and waiting for the good article process. If it becomes a good article, you can nominate it for DYK within seven days.

- Other problems:
- Sourcing meets the minimum for DYK, but it's skimpy, especially in the name dispute section. The history section relies somewhat heavily on the North Carolina Rabbit Hole article, but I don't think it rises to the level of a plagiarism issue.

Diet culture

- Source: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-racist-roots-of-fighting-obesity2/, “In the eyes of many medical practitioners in the late 19th century, Black women were destined to die off along with the men of their race because of their presumed inability to control their “animal appetites”—eating, drinking and fornicating. These presumptions were not backed by scientific data but instead embodied the prevailing racial scientific logic at the time. Later, some doctors wanted to push Black men to reform their aesthetic preferences. Valorizing voluptuousness in Black women, these physicians claimed, validated their unhealthy diets, behaviors and figures.”
