Instructions for nominators

[edit]

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

[edit]

Backlogged?

[edit]

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?

[edit]

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.

If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the DYK discussion page, but as a general rule such nominations will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

Instructions for other editors

[edit]

How to promote an accepted hook

[edit]
  • See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
  • In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
  • In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
  • In the prep set...
    • Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
    • Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
  • Back on DYK nomination page...
    • change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • change |passed= to |passed=yes
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save

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 the nominations page so that reviewers can see it. It goes under the date that it was first created/expanded/listed as a GA. You may need to add back the day header for that date if it had been removed from the nominations page.
  • If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.

Nominations

[edit]

Special occasion holding area

[edit]
Shortcut
Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section on the regular nominations page, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began, or it was listed as a Good Article; be sure to indicate in the nomination any request for a specially timed appearance on the main page.
Note: Articles intended to be held for special occasion dates should be nominated within seven days of creation, start of expansion, or promotion to Good Article status. The nomination should be made between at least one week prior to the occasion date, to allow time for reviews and promotions through the prep and queue sets, but not more than six weeks in advance. The proposed occasion must be deemed sufficiently special by reviewers. The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. Discussion clarifying the hold criteria can be found here: [1]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [2].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
Note for promoters: please be sure to add an "invisible" comment after a hook when you've placed it in prep, noting that it's a special occasion hook and including the date it is supposed to run. This should keep the hook from being moved after promotion, as sometimes happens to hooks when a queue needs a slot filled or a prep set needs to be made more balanced by swapping hooks between preps.

BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • It looks like there are other heights listed in the article. The Sports Illustrated article reports 7 ft 5 for example in its title (although technically slightly under that in the article itself). I would think if we were to feature a height hook with specific measurements we would need to address the discrepancies between sources in some fashion. The article should do that too. As it is, I don't think we can run this hook as is because of the differing measurements between sources. Otherwise the article is new enough, long enough, and within policy.4meter4 (talk) 21:32, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Schwede66 I asked for a second opinion at the DYK talk page two days ago. Still waiting to hear back from well anyone. I'm not comfortable with moving forward on this one without some additional input from others.4meter4 (talk) 22:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Right; I missed that. BeanieFan11, I suggest that 4meter4 is correct and the article should discuss that sources differ, and list what various reliable sources give. Once done, your suggested hook alteration is fine. I've added this as ALT1 and struck ALT0. Schwede66 23:14, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66 and 4meter4: Does this addition address the concerns? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve done two things. Firstly, the sources that have her at the least height all say "220 cm" and I’ve tweaked ALT1 accordingly. Secondly, I’ve amended the article lead to reflect that sources vary. With that, this should be good to go, but I’ll leave that to the reviewer. Schwede66 21:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
4meter4, is this good to go? Schwede66 08:43, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As time is of the essence, I'll take over. It isn't how I would have done it (I would have used a notelist), but the way the article does it is fine. I note that WP:UPSD has China Daily in yellow, but I also note that WP:RSP says the source may be used "as a source for facts about non-political events in mainland China" and this isn't particularly contentious, so I'll take it, but have an extra source on speed dial just in case, belt and braces and all that. (And you might want to have a flick through QPQ check in the box on the right, because your 200th nomination this ain't.) Let's roll.--Launchballer 10:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BeanieFan11 and Schwede66: unless I'm missing something, Zhang is ineligible to play in the Olympics, meaning I can't see a reason this has been fast-tracked into the Olympics SOHA? It's not like we're lacking Olympics-related hooks. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody is saying that she is going to the Olympics. What you are missing, AirshipJungleman29, is that you don't seem to have followed Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Olympic hooks table. Schwede66 19:33, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The table says we don't have anything for that day but that's patently incorrect. I had followed the table, but I assumed that nominations put into the special Olympics holding area were related directly to the Olympics—that seems sensible, no? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll break it down for you a bit to make it easier to follow, AirshipJungleman29. Prep1 is for 24 July. That is the day when the first competitions start at the Olympics – football and rugby sevens according to the Olympic calendar. We do not have any nominations for football or rugby sevens. Hence, we are still running what I call "Olympic warm up" hooks. If you have a problem with this general principle, then this is the wrong place to bring this up; it should be discussed at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Discussion on Olympics. Schwede66 20:02, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But according to the table, some days are scheduled to have three Olympics-related hooks, which violates WP:DYKVAR. Why not allocate one of those hooks to go earlier, instead of nominations of indirectly-related athletes? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:50, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
AirshipJungleman29, you appear to be asking questions that are fundamental to the process of what we are doing here. Therefore, this is the wrong place to have this discussion. If you'd like to see things done differently, please go to Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Discussion on Olympics. Schwede66 22:14, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This hook is super interesting and the article is great. I think maybe the hook needs rewording though as it's not clear that this "peace" came more than four decades later. How about "four decades after missing an event at the 1960 Summer Olympics, Suriname's sole athlete was found to have not "overslept"? I'm also waiting on the plagiarism checker to worki again.

  • Comment – I will review this nomination. – Editør (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Review – The article is new enough (created/moved to mainspace on 14 June 2024), long enough (1600+ characters of prose), has no copyright issues (using Earwig tool and two spot checks), and is presentable (based on a readthrough). The hook is cited, but from the source, I cannot make out whether this Golden Gloves was a single-day tournament that was held on her birthday or that it was a multiple-day tournament and that she merely won a single fight on her birthday. If it is the former, the hook is interesting enough, but if it is the latter, the hook is not interesting enough in my opinion. Could this be clarified with a source or can you suggest an alternative hook? The QPQ is not yet done. – Editør (talk) 11:55, 23 June 2024‎ (UTC)[reply]
    @BeanieFan11: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorry, I guess I did the QPQ but forgot to respond. @Editør: It seems to have been a multi-day tournament, but I can't tell if she won the tournament on her birthday or just a match. An ALT would be: ALT1 ... that Alyssa Mendoza won a Golden Gloves fight on her birthday? If you don't think that's interesting enough, I could try to develop a different hook. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for clarifying. It looks like the DYK could be featured during the Olympics, so perhaps a hook about her Olympic qualification? There is already something about that in the article. – Editør (talk) 16:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Editør: The best I could think of would be: ALT2 ... that Alyssa Mendoza is Idaho's first Olympic boxer? Idaho Press Does that work? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that hook is supported by this source. Maybe change it into ALT3 instead? – Editør (talk) 16:37, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ALT3 ... that Alyssa Mendoza was the first sportsperson from Idaho who qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics?
    The article should probably be changed accordingly. – Editør (talk) 16:38, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict) I kind of like ALT2 better (but could live with ALT3 being promoted if ALT2 doesn't work) – the source does seem to support it: Mendoza, who attended Middleton High, is set to become the first Olympic boxer from the Gem State. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:40, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The source is geoblocked from my location. I visited the page via a proxy, but it contained only two full sentences and not your green quote. But if that's in there ALT2 is alright with me.

  • Hi BeanieFan11, review follows: article created 6 July and just exceeds minimum length (that given there are no obvious omissions given the subjects relatively recent notability); sources cited are all in French but look to be reliable enough; happy to AGF there is no overly close paraphrasing, nothing feels machine translated to me; hook is reasonably interesting, though might be lost among other "firsts" at this Olympics; hook is cited inline, the source is subscription-only so will need to AGF but it's title appears to confirm it. Two matters to clear up: I've added a citation needed tag to his event type as it's not mentioned elsewhere in the article and a QPQ is awaited - Dumelow (talk) 15:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dumelow: Apologies for the delay. The QPQ is done. As for the event, per our article (Comoros at the 2024 Summer Olympics) it seems he'll compete in that, but from a quick look I haven't been able to find a source for the event specifically. I've hidden it for now, with plans to re-add it later as I'm sure within the next few days there should be something to source it, with when the competitors are all finalized. Is that all right?

Image eligibility:

  • Freely licensed: Yes
  • Used in article: Yes
  • Clear at 100px: No - Personally I feel at 100px the current image is too wide to be useful for this nomination. I would suggest changing it for either the Brossier/Bol photo from the 400m semi or the Lehikoinen/Bol photo from the 400m hurdles final, but I will also leave this up to the promoter if they feel differently.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Both articles' prose meets 5x expansion. Readable prose on both also surpasses the target. Generally well sourced and well written, hook is also cited and interesting. Images are free, however some issues regarding the selected image (see above). 2 QPQs done to match the double bold articles. Besides potentially swapping the image out for another I'm happy to pass the DYK for these articles. Great job! Sims2aholic8 (talk) 09:56, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or a cropped version of the originally proposed photo if that is an option (cropped to a square, centered on Bol). – Editør (talk) 10:34, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a crop of the above. Not a square; this looks better (I looked at a square crop first). Schwede66 02:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I'd prefer your crop. I think the hook and image caption should be changed to:
Femke Bol in the 400 metres hurdles final
Femke Bol in the 400 metres hurdles final
... that Femke Bol (pictured) won the women's 400 metres and 400 metres hurdles in an unprecedented double victory at the 2022 European Athletics Championships?

    • @Toadboy123: QPQ done. As for how he was shot, all the source says is: Alasan Ann was hanging out with friends in Minneapolis when he heard gunshots and screams. Scared for his life, his first instinct was to run, as fast as he could. “Not now, not ever,” the 23-year-old athlete thought to himself. “[We] started running to our car. And while we were running, I got hit in my leg, but I didn’t stop,” he told Olympics.com, his voice trailing off. Is there anything you think I should add from that?

  • Not really sure if this particular hook fact or wording is the best option here. It's really reliant on specialist information, specifically a grade of rock climbing that isn't even a universal or international one.

How about ALT1: "... that when first climbed in 2006, Rhapsody was the hardest traditional climbing route in the world?", with sourcing here Last year he succeeded in making what is generally recognised as the world's hardest 'traditional' climb, Rhapsody, on Dumbarton Rock from the BBC, and Rhapsody is officially known as the world's hardest traditional rock climb from Telegraph.

    @Premeditated Chaos: Well, ALT3 will be factually incorrect as the Reservation Bill is not really implemented yet.

    Despite what the sources say, I find it hard to believe that in the hundreds of years there have been prime ministers in the UK, not a single one of them before Boris Johnson has ever broken some law. In fact, it only took me a couple of minutes to find in Robert Walpole: In 1712, Walpole was accused of venality and corruption in the matter of two forage contracts for Scotland. Although it was proven that he had retained none of the money, Walpole was pronounced "guilty of a high breach of trust and notorious corruption".[16] He was impeached by the House of Commons and found guilty by the House of Lords; he was then imprisoned in the Tower of London for six months and expelled from Parliament.

    @RoySmith: I believe the distinction is that Johnson is the first serving Prime Minister to be found to have broken the law – the Walpole incident that you're describing occurred nine years before he became Prime Minister. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 22:40, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @A Thousand Doors and Sammi Brie: I have unpromoted this, becaue I now feel the hook violates WP:DYKHOOKBLP.

    • This is only a preliminary review for now as the article needs a copyedit when it comes to wording and missing punctuation. However, the article does seem long enough and is adequately sourced and a QPQ has been done. My preferred hook is ALT1, but it doesn't exactly match the article or the source so it might fail at WT:DYK or ERRORS. ALT0 could probably be modified to say he never played organized football before signing up as the current wording might be too vague. ALT2 might need additional context especially for readers from countries where Judaism is not a common religion: my suggestion would be to propose a new hook that explains his 39 jersey and how it related to the Sabbath. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Narutolovehinata5: Thank you for checking out this nomination.. I did some copyediting but it is hard for me to find my own errors so I would appreciate you calling them out. For hook ideas I prefer that someone click the article to discover rather than getting in the weeds with specificity in the hook. For fifth and sixth hook ideas:
    ALT4: ... that a wide receiver on the Texas A&M Aggies football team wears number 39 to symbolize the tasks or items which Jews should avoid during the Sabbath?
    ALT5: ... that American football player Sam Salz wears number 39 to remind him of "lamed tet melachot"?
    Bruxton (talk) 15:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    ALT4 sounds good to me. The article is improved but the wording still seems a bit weird (for example, "As a young boy Salz never watched college football because it is played on the Shabbat and he is an observant orthodox Jew." and "He was not invited to join the football team so he practiced by himself within sight of the football team and eventually earned a roster spot.") I don't have access to the NYT source; is 2003 mentioned in that article? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:18, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Narutolovehinata5: Excellent. You can archive a link to read text it by putting the url in archive.ph. Here is a link to the NYT article. I got 2003 from "Salz, 21, became obsessed with playing college football at a young age, for reasons he can’t exactly pinpoint." It is a 2024 article and 2024-21 is c. 2003. Regarding the two sentences, I do not see the weirdness to their structurel; if you do please edit them. Bruxton (talk) 23:47, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe it's just me not being a native speaker but something feels off about the first sentence to me, but it could just be that it's correct to a native speaker but sounds weird to a non-native one. The second one could probably be rewritten to something like "As he was not invited to join the football team, he practiced by himself within sight of them. He eventually earned a roster spot." Maybe something like that? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Narutolovehinata5: I reordered the first sentence you called out and I used your language for the second sentence. Bruxton (talk) 22:44, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Now that I think about it, ALT4a is quite long. Would it be okay if it got shortened to ALT4a ... that a Texas A&M Aggies football wide receiver wears number 39 to symbolize the tasks or items which Jews should avoid during the Sabbath? "Football" could even be dropped if possible, but given American football's relatively niche popularity outside of North America, just "wide receiver" without context might not make much sense, hence the addition of "football" (or even "college football" if really needed). Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Narutolovehinata5: I am ok with any change that helps advance this nomination. Bruxton (talk) 01:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Cool. I'll think about hook options over the next few days but as long as the copyediting has been completed I can probably complete the review. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Apologies for the delay in reviewing. The article meets requirements for newness and length, and I did not find any close paraphrasing. QPQ has been done and verified. All major statements in the article match the sources, and all hooks are mentioned in the article and verified in the sources. There is one statement in the article, however: the "thought to be the only orthodox Jewish football player in NCAA Division I" fact might change in the future, so the mention in the article may need a qualifier. I also note that one of the sources says he's the first known orthodox Jewish college football player, but given the recent brouhaha over "first" hooks it might be the safest option not to go with that. Some variation of ALT4 (I will leave the exact wording to the promoter) is probably the best option here as the most unusual or interesting; my original preference (ALT1) is unsuitable due to not being directly mentioned in the article, as well as not meeting the "unlikely to change" criterion. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Narutolovehinata5: Good catch I attributed the statement Bruxton (talk) 04:21, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, I think there should be no more issues here. The only approved option here is some variant of ALT4; I will leave it to the promoter on what wording to use, or whether to mention Salz by name in the hook. I do wonder if a hook that goes "that in 2023, the Atlanta Jewish Times suggested that Sam Salz is the only Orthodox Jewish player in NCAA Division I college football?" or even "that The Times of Israel suggests that Sam Salz may be college football's first known Orthodox Jewish player?", but given both are "first" or "only" hooks and thus are likely to be a whole can of worms, they're only food for thought and the nomination can proceed with ALT4 or some variant. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The fact that he's an orthodox jew playing football is the story, so we'd be silly to shy away from mentioning that in the hook. I think we'd be OK with a "first" as long as we qualify it with "believed to be" or something to that effect. The Jewish Times says "Salz is believed to be the only Orthodox Jew to play Division I college football this season (if not, the first-ever)", which seems like an appropriate level of hedging. As for the 39-based hooks, I'm torn between the significance of 39 being lost on most of our readers vs piquing their interest ("what's so special about 39?") RoySmith (talk) 13:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Elsewhere, Black Kite said:

    "Suggests" and "known" and "may be" are really vague though, aren't they? You would have thought that given the ridiculous amount of statistical trivia about the game, there would be a definitive source.
    I'm sure they keep all kinds of statistics about on-field performance, but I wouldn't expect they have data on the religious affiliation of every player. And even if they did, who's to say what an "Orthodox Jew" is? It's kind of a self-identify thing. RoySmith (talk) 19:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The issue here is all the recent brouhahas with "first" or "only" hooks and how much scrutiny they get. If we go with that angle, we want to be sure we're right and not have to have another long discussion about how we promoted a factual error, even if objectively this was the more interesting option.

    Adding an alt here:
    • ALT2: ... that the escaped donkey Diesel is "living his best life" with a wild elk herd?
    @Bremps: I really like the "living his best life" quote. Maybe there's a way to incorporate both. Something like...that an escaped donkey "living his best life" may have killed a mountain lion? I'm reluctant to go with a "may have killed" hook though, since others have pointed out that the article is already pretty heavy on speculation. For what it's worth, this reference indicates that donkeys killing mountain lions is rare, but not unheard of. Maybe Sims2aholic8 has an opinion now that the article has survived AfD. gobonobo + c 01:08, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Gobonobo I get it, I also like to cleanse my DYK hooks of speculation. If you're willing to stomach the "possibly", that's not a bad hook. Bremps... 02:12, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah I also really like the "living his best life" quote, so definitely keen to place that in the hook. Also completely understand the reluctance to lean on speculation here re. the mountain lion, but it is a very interesting aspect of this story. Potentially something along the lines of that an escaped donkey "living his best life" with an elk herd was reported to have killed a mountain lion? I think it's important to note why he's living his best life (i.e. with the elk herd); without that caveat I'm not sure how relevant the quote is to the hook.

    • @Orchastrattor: Here's a couple excerpts from the text. It goes further into this in preceding and subsequent paragraphs:

      The colonial public was chilled by her [Wong Sau Ying's] exacting premeditation. The ‘bobbed-hair woman’ had arrived in Kuala Lumpur only that morning. Some reports said that she came from Canton; others that she was from Penang, and fluent in Malay. They were, above all, obsessed by the way she looked. [...]
      The year 1925 was when the ‘Modern Girl’ became a global phenomenon, and in this the women of Asia took the lead. [...] There were stories of ‘bobbed-hair riots’ as far away as Mexico City, of rival ‘anti-bobbed-hair leagues’ and ‘bobbed-hair defence leagues’. [...]
      The ‘Modern Girl’ was increasingly linked to a dangerous, disordered modernity; to nihilism and to anarchism. As one expatriate journal put it: ‘The now notorious “bobbed-haired” lady might just as well have turned up in Venezuela or Tibet for all the relation that her “mission” had to events in Malaya... Politics virtually do not exist in this country.’ The Straits Times brayed for a system of ‘identity tickets’ to indicate who was a loyal subject of His Majesty King George V and who was not. There were suddenly other sightings of ‘strange’ young women in Kuala Lumpur. [...]
      At the root of the case was her ‘new style’.

    Although this type of killing may be common elsewhere, it is a rare case in the highly religious country that a prominent religious figure was shot dead by the ruling junta’s soldiers. Plus, it is very few that the junta apologized publicly; he would never show his weakness in public.

    One small thing: the infobox photo caption calls the church "Vision Church" but the prose calls it "Diamond Lake Church". A quick Google seems to favour calling it "Vision Church", so can this be changed in the body of the article?

      • @Flemmish Nietzsche: Sadly, the academic source doesn't back the claim up but it does back up the claim that an area in the Vatican was once a chariot racing track. Though I'm not sure what's Wikipedia's and the DYK's policy on "possibly statements" (i.e. ...that sport in Vatican City possibly started in the 1st century, when a chariot racing track was built in what was then ancient Rome?" I suggest using ALT1 instead if that's the case. Though I can make another hook if it isn't interesting enough. Arconning (talk) 06:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Arconning I checked that journal I suggested, fand you're right about it not being definite that the chariot track ever actually existed there. ALT1 is not the most interesting, but I could accept it if there's nothing else better you can find. How about "... that sport in Vatican City began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?" This might not be the "start" of sport in the area that is now the Vatican, but it seems to be the first major event when that area was under the control of an independent Papal State, so I think it would pass. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 07:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Flemmish Nietzsche For the hook that you suggested, I'm all for it but with some minor tweaks. Since we can't really determine when sport in Vatican City really started, I think we should put something like "governed by the nation", "started by the nation", or something shorter. (i.e. ... that sport in Vatican City started by the nation began in the 16th century with the first ever match of calcio fiorentino, an early form of football?"). Arconning (talk) 07:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Arconning "started by the nation" seems somewhat iffy, as it could be confused with "nation" meaning a group of people sharing a common identity rather than a sovereign state; maybe "state-sponsored" or "officially" would be better?

      The article notes: "Ms Chang does not delve into the Pacific ties that might have made such a man. She does say that, during the gold rush, many Californians shipped their laundry to be cleaned in Hong Kong, at $1 a shirt. If this is true--and it is a staggering proposition, given that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company made just a dozen sailings a year, taking 33 days--then the subject deserves a chapter, not just the briefest of mentions."

    Rjjiii (talk · contribs), I think the hook is fine. Although the source questions the accuracy of the statement, the source verifies that the book makes this statement. Here are sources that verify that people in California during the gold rush era sent their laundry to Hong Kong:

    1. Goethe, Charles Matthias (1949). What's in a Name?: (Tales, Historical Or Fictitious, about 111 California Gold Belt Place Names). p. 44. OCLC 606542. Retrieved 2024-07-03 – via Google Books.

      This is not a reliable source as the author is a eugenicist. But I am including it here as it's the earliest source I can find that mentions that California gold miners shipped their laundry to Hong Kong. The book notes: "Apparently eggs from Hong Kong, Canton then were being shipped here with California miners' returned laundry."

      The book notes: "When the Gold Rush started, some of the San Franciscans sent their laundry to Honolulu and even to Hong Kong by sailing vessel because there was no one around to do it. By sailing vessel, it required about forty days for a round trip to Honolulu and about sixty days to Hong Kong."

      The book notes: "Rich gold miners who didn't have a laundry nearby sent their shirts out to be washed, starched, and ironed-in Hong Kong, China! It cost as much as a dollar a shirt and took two to four months for the shirts to make the round-trip."

      The book notes: "In the early days of the Gold Rush, Euroamerican men shipped their soiled laundry to Hong Kong or Honolulu for cleaning, and received it again after two or three months."

      The book notes: "As the San Francisco economy boomed with hopeful gold seekers, the city experienced continual labor shortages throughout the 1850s and 1860s. It was cheaper for male miners who refused to wash their own clothes, for example, either to send their dirty laundry on a clipper ship to Hong Kong or Honolulu to be washed or to simply throw it away, than to pay the rates to have their clothes done locally."

      The book notes: "I am describing the mid-nineteenth-century genesis of Chinese laundry shops (yi-shan-guan in Chinese) during and after the California Gold Rush. Due to the perception of laundry as women's work and the scarcity of women in California during the Gold Rush era, the local cost for doing laundry was exorbitant. Miners, both white and Chinese, routinely shipped their laundry to Honolulu and even Hong Kong for cleaning and pressing. Even then, the price was high and the process took four months. As Iris Chang describes in The Chinese in America, Chinese entrepreneurs took advantage of this economic opportunity and created local laundry shops."

      The book notes: "The perception by most whites that washing was work demeaning to men, together with the absence of women on the Western frontier, made laundry a service in demand. Before the arrival of the Chinese, and with California labor in short supply and hence expensive, dirty laundry was routed to Hong Kong to be washed for $12 a dozen items, and then later to Hawaii for $8 a dozen. But Chinese entrepreneurs in San Francisco saw the potential profits in doing the washing themselves on the West Coast, and prices dropped to $5 a dozen as shipping and handling costs decreased. Soon, local laundries replaced the overseas ones."

      This source predates the 2003 book Chinese in America and discusses how laundry was shipped from San Francisco to Hawaii which cost $8 and took six to eight weeks.

      The book notes: "But it cost money for the San Franciscans to achieve such stylishness and respectability, for the laundry bills were terrific. In order to have their linen washed, starched and ironed to the right degree of whiteness and rigidity cost them eight dollars per dozen, sometimes even more. The men didn't mind paying from three to five dollars for an order of ham and eggs or a steak, but eight dollars just to scrub and iron some pieces of shirt was an excessive price. So there were grumblings aplenty. And not only that, there was also the annoyance of waiting from six to eight weeks for one's laundry to come back each time one sent it off, for mostly they were shipped to the Hawaiian Islands to be washed. And then the shirts might return with buttons missing or collars separated."

      The book notes: "3: Number of months it took prospectors to get their clean clothes back before Wah Lee opened San Francisco's first Chinese laundry in 1851. Prior to that, there were so few laundries that miners sent dirty clothes by ship to Hong Kong, where they were cleaned, pressed, and then shipped back."

      The book notes: "By the mid-1800s, some people, mostly white, had managed to get rich in the Gold Rush. ... They often thought of laundry as a "woman's job," and therefore, beneath them. Without many other options, it became pretty common for people to ship their laundry all the way to Hong Kong to be cleaned. This took nearly four months and cost about twelve dollars for a dozen shirts, which is equal to about four hundred dollars today. Still, this was way cheaper than the alternative, to send the clothes back to the East Coast of the United States to be cleaned. Remember, the Transcontinental Rail- road wasn't finished yet, so the laundry would have had to go by boat all the way around the continent or over land on a wagon. Hong Kong was the best option for people with the money to spend on laundry, and so the shipment of clothing back and forth across the Pacific Ocean became another link between the coasts of the United States and China, another lane on the highway connecting Chinese Americans between their two lands. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and closer to San Francisco than to Hong Kong, you will find the islands of Hawai'i. By the mid-1800s, Hawai'i had become a stopover for people and goods as they went back and forth between China and the West Coast of the continental United States. The rich people who had been shipping their laundry to Hong Kong now had a closer, more affordable option. Instead of spending twelve dollars to have a dozen shirts washed in Hong Kong, they could spend eight dollars to have a dozen shirts washed in Honolulu."

      The book notes: "As the gold fever cooled, there was a shift in Chinese business patterns, first from mining to laundries, and then to railway construction. The second was the result of quintessentially Chinese entrepreneurship. The Chinese noticed that people in California were prepared to pay for laundry services, which involved shipping to the East Coast, Honolulu and even Hong Kong, which were all both costly and took time. It was obviously beneficial for customers to pay $5 for a dozen shirts rather than $12, and to receive the shirts in a few days rather than up to four months."

      The book notes: "A similar story unfolded on the Pacific coast of the Americas. North American trade with Asia and Australia grew rapidly in the 1860s and 1870s, but failed to live up to that potential in subsequent years. In the first years of the gold rush, prices for goods and labour in California were so high that laundry was famously sent from San Francisco to Hong Kong to be washed. By the end of the 1850s, California had begun shipping wheat, quicksilver, hides, lumber, oats, beans, potatoes and wool across the Pacific to Asia and the Australian"

      The book notes: "Most of the men who arrived in California to hunt for gold came alone. Mining was dirty, dusty work, but washing grimy, mud-caked clothes was considered a "woman's job." Some of the more successful single men shipped dirty clothes to Hong Kong and waited months for their return. For the rest, since local Spanish and Native American women charged too high a price, Chinese men filled the void. Within a few years, the Chinese came to dominate the laundry business in San Francisco."

    Thanks for the reply. You're right. Rather than doing a review, I'd like to offer an alternative hook. Since multiple university press sources state it as a fact, could we run a hook that also presents it as a historical fact? Like this:

    • ALT1: ... that The Chinese in America documents how California gold rush prospectors mailed their laundry to Hong Kong for cleaning? "While Chang's book might first appear basic in its history lessons, even the most knowledgeable Asian-American scholar will likely find little-known facts and challenging theories within. Chang tells how gold-rush miners - both Chinese and Caucasian - sent their laundry to Hong Kong for lack of local services, hence opening up a business opportunity for entrepreneurial Chinese to take over the "women's work" that Caucasians would not do. (Hong (2003) CSM.)"

    • Source: "His explanation of the change [in instrumentation] was idiosyncratic, to say the least. According to him, his change of heart had not been dominated by artistic considerations at all, but purely practical concerns. "Do you want to know why I wrote a piano part into the quartet? I did it so that I could play it myself and have a reason to go on tour to different towns and places. So now ... the Beethoven Quartet, who get to go everywhere, will have to take me with them, and I will get my chance to see the world as well!" We both laughed. "You are not serious?", I said. Shostakovich replied: "Absolutely! You are a dyed-in-the-wool stay-at-home, but I am a dyed-in-the-wool wanderer!"

    • @CurryTime7-24: Beautiful expansion! I listened to the quintet while I reviewed — such a lovely piece deserving of this amount of detail. The recent 5x is eligible, boasts more than adequate sourcing, and doesn't raise any significant copyvio issues. Some small style issues therein that I would recommend you or another editor walk through at some point. Hook-wise, I would say ALT0 is a little misleading as phrased since he initiated the piano quintet with the intention of traveling to perform the piece, not compose it.

There haven't been any new sources added other than a paper by the two proponents of this theory and lots of other really weak sources.

I've been reading it again and I still think the hook should be promoted. But, as I say, I am not an SME in this area so I will happily step aside if an SME is needed.

    • I have to second the concerns brought up above: this article was merged in November for poor sourcing and the fact that it seemed to lean very heavily into the op-ed angle of the source it did use. To be clear, I certainly have a great personal distaste for the majority of people who run the majority of software companies, and ethical objections to a good portion of the United States' GDP (I am a diehard Linux user with all of the political implications that entails). However, the implication that "global tech elites" are engaged in a deliberate scheme to carry out eugenics (as one of the sources said from the previous version of this article), based on a collection of op-eds and blog posts where people who hate them say this a bunch of times, seems to raise some rather significant BLP issues. It is somewhat concerning to vaguely imply this in wikivoice as though it's settled fact, and then the citations are to a journal of biosemiotics. jp×g🗯️ 02:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Posting on here same stuff as in the Talk Page section:
    A) This article was merged for lack of WP:N. If you consider it still an issue, use WP:AfD or bug the original admin who deleted, merged, than undeleted this. It isn't a valid argument to suggest that it's settled that it deserves to remerged if we've added a ton of sourcing and improved on it. Settle it by starting the process to delete it if you want.
    B) Are there reliable sources indicating that TESCREAL is a significantly derogatory epithet similar to Libtard/Chud? Marc Andreessen self-describes as TESCREAList. Many of these folks regularly ascribe to multiple of these philosophies as transhumanists, ethical altruists, long-termists, etc. Sourcing here does not necessarily imply that every TESCREAList is also a eugenicist, nor do we use WP:SYNTH to suggest that these folks are all eugenicists. There is no mention of eugenicist claims in the third section. Also, we have Big Tech as a wikipedia article along with criticism, which is also a similar "perjorative" against tech companies, and other significant "perjoratives" with negative connotations such as Democrat in Name Only and Cuckservative. These all explain what opinion writers and commentators mean, and why. This article is far more tame than many of those.
    C) That more than a dozen opinions use a term like this should be notable enough. I suspect that any sort of article about philosophies will require opinionated sources or commentaries. Effective altruism includes sourcing from Centre for Effective Altruism and by extension the Effective Altruism Forum, study centers specifically invested in effective altruism and founded by leaders, as well as many opinions.
    D) WP:OPINION applies here, especially for philosphical arguments. I looked for criticisms of TESCREAL. If more are published, we can include them. These sources are WP:SECONDARY, they contain analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. Secondary sources are not necessarily independent sources.
    E) If you want to settle WP:BLP, please post in the section on WP:BLPN. We've already started and done this argument. There are multiple sources on WP:PUBLICFIGUREs here alleging that many of these folks use TESCREAL to justify their tech projects, and we make sure to use the word "allege" correctly, as per WP:OPINION, along with the correct sourcing
    Conclusion:) TESCREAL is unliked by some portion of folks on here for some reason. I'm happy to listen to arguments, but I want an argument about why we are suddenly so sensitive about criticism of Elon Musk/etc. for using human extinction for every time someone criticizes his behavior or cars or products. If you are just an elon musk/nick bostrum/etc. fan, than say it and stop throwing mud on an article that contains a criticism of philosophies that occurs often enough that we can gather 20+ sources, including 10 using the term in severe detail to directly dissect the argument that yelling extinction every 15 minutes doesn't mean you've justified your next mega project.

    • Article is newly created (converted from redirect) and long enough. QPQ has been done. The six sources in the article are reliable (ESPN) or from official press releases. But there are a couple of copyvio concerns, especially phrases like "selected by MLS commissioner Don Garber", "was created on May 13", "appeared in at least 50 percent" which can be further reworded.

    London bus with wheelchair ramp
    I think I found a better hook.
    I think that is more interesting as since the TfL bus fleet has been accessible for a while. but since the LU is the oldest metro systems, its partially accessible with only a third. Also with taxis, I assume you're talking about the TfL ones since other services like Uber likely don't have the accessibility scheme in place and use a normal car. I also think something that is not mostly accessible is better and more interesting that those that are fully accessible. For example, a hook stating that the Elizabeth line is fully accessible (even including the old stations) wouldn't be interesting as new(er) systems are expected to be accessible/have step free systems. JuniperChill (talk) 09:36, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, I'm happy to go with that hook with a minor tweak for "step-free"- yes, I mean "London black taxi", technically Uber is not a taxi (Vehicle for hire). I didn't want to be too negative about accessibility, but the Tube one is balanced. Could use the lead photo - unsure on caption though! Turini2 (talk) 10:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry for the late reply as I was out and about. Anyway, I don't really need to see the point of the photo if we are talking about 1/3rd of LU stations accessible since I cannot think what demonstrates it, plus its very tight for images on DYK because only one image a day (or two images a day in the event of a backlog) for the ~8 hooks. Also @TheNuggeteer:, what do you think of the new hook as you initially reviewed it? JuniperChill (talk) 16:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Specifically, I am a little concerned that statistics-heavy topics like this, when they're directly related to buzzwordy trending topics in the news cycle, tend to be very ill-suited to being patched out from headlines. That is to say, writing the shark attack and dog attack based solely on news coverage would give the impression that these were both uncommon things that do happen every once in a while, when in reality the yearly rates are eighty versus several million. This article quotes a bunch of figures from news stories back-to-back, and there doesn't really seem to be much attempt at comparison or context. For example, there is a paper cited that projects 85-143 TWh of global power consumption from neural networks by 2027, based on a conjectural optimistic scenario where NVIDIA/TSMC transition their entire manufacturing output to A100s (all of which are installed in data centers and used for nothing but LLM inference). By comparison, this paper estimated that video gaming consumed 34 TWh/year in the United States alone in 2019; this document from the DoE says that aluminum production in the US in 2000 consumed a total of 279.2 TWh/yr. The US consumes about 16% of the world's electricity, so a very rough approximation here would give a ballpark estimate of 212.5 TWh for gaming (the US does about 2% of aluminum production worldwide, giving us around 13960 TWh yearly for global aluminum production). It also seems like there is a lot of ambiguity between training (a fixed cost, as models are only trained once) and inference (the process that happens when running the model, which typically requires billions or trillions of times less computation). I am somewhat worried about having this on the front page. jp×g🗯️ 23:45, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    you are literally using us energy gov stats to WP:SYNTH a whataboutism argument… by the same logic, the criticism section of any industries environmental impact can be called misleading because theres always another more polluting industry you can point to. the comparison you suggest is “missing” is literally that training ChatGPT training took as much energy as 123 gasoline powered cars yearly footprints. and suggesting that including examples from news articles headlining the carbon footprint is a bad thing for wikipedia is inane. most articles on here use secondary souces such as news articles. and most DyK hooks are eyecatching Bluethricecreamman (talk) 00:34, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For the specific task of literally writing an encyclopedia article about a topic, I would say that answering questions like "why is this statistic relevant" or "what does this number mean" is probably its most important purpose. I gave a couple examples to illustrate what this looks like, obviously there is no reason why aluminum manufacturing in particular is more relevant than anything else. The most appropriate source here would likely be something like a textbook or monograph about electrical consumption by various industries, and how this related to environmental concerns in general. Since this is a subject of rather large significance, it is important that our writing on it be accurate, and not news. I am opposed to running stuff on the main page where vague insinuations are made by factoids of unexplained significance -- e.g. what's a terawatt-hour? what's a gram of CO2? why are some figures given in one and some as the other, and still others given in folksy derivative units like average midsize sedan gasoline consumption rates over average suburban commutes? jp×g🗯️ 01:06, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Moreover, ALT0 is not supported by the source. Indeed, OpenAI's well-known sleazy refusal to be transparent about any of its operations or research means that the source cannot say that, because the source does not know. The figure claimed as fact in this hook is, in the source, carefully and explicitly presented as an approximate figure derived by estimation (it's from https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.10350 -- note the methods they are using). jp×g🗯️ 01:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not arguing these bad faith arguments after this. The source link is literally right there for anyone to read. There are three links I cite with the 552 metric tons figure in the article. Most of the "environmental impacts of" are similar collections of "factoids" discussing various industry leaders. And by your logic of WP:NOTNEWS, we should remove most news articles discussing long term trends in any industry. WP:NOTNEWS specifically states no original reporting on wikipedia (we don't report the news ourselves, we cite it), and calls for enduring notability of information (we don't do an article if its just one or two articles). if you find a reputable source arguing that this is a false number or a false comparison, feel free to edit the article. I respect your work as an admin, and your experience, but this is silly. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 01:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The hook should therefore use singular conjugations of verbs, but it sounded too odd upon my initial reading. I thus changed the verbs to their plural conjugations, as if the islands themselves are being described rather than the modern country or the former colony. I have nonetheless included my original wording as ALT1, in case the reviewer or promoter wants to compare the two.

    • Hi Yue, review follows: article created 3 July and exceeds minimum length; I reworded one sentence slightly to move it further from the source, but otherwise I don't think there is an issue with overly close paraphrasing; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited (BBC); a QPQ has been provided; image is properly licensed and looks fine. I changed from single to double quotation marks in the hooks to match the article and, I think, our MOS. In terms of plurals I think English_plurals#Geographical_plurals_used_as_singular discusses this; either alternative sounds OK to me but British English tends to be a bit more flexible than US English on this (see eg.

    Comment: I have added a citation in the lead for where it mentions the DYK fact, in addition to placing a citation next to the direct quotation. As for her birth date, I have been unable to find any source, excluding TVovermind, which states her birth date in full. I have found a pinned YouTube comment in her CEMI channel which says her birthday is on December 8.[1] We know that she was 23 years old on September 26, 2023,[2] so I believe we can infer her birth date as being December 8, 1999. Would it be acceptable if I assembled these two sources to state her full birth date? ―Howard • 🌽33 19:28, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Howardcorn33: Unfortunately not; WP:DOB addresses this point, that concensus has been reached that combining sources to deduce a birthdate is considered WP:SYNTH. I would bet that TVovermind is just ripping from Famous Birthdays. Good new, though: if you go back through her celine.dept Instagram, there's a post from December 9, 2019, where she says "yesterday was my 20th birthday", we can use that. I would drop the link for you but I'm having issues linking from Instagram on my phone, sorry!

    • Note: The article has well over 2,000 characters (not counting the summary section, which has no citations). Therefore it is long enough. WP book-plot summaries are not usually cited, and the rest of the article is properly sourced (except see my last bullet point below)..

    @AbhiSuryawanshi: Both of those sources support the claim in ALT3 (as did the source from ALT0). The first one directly cites this article so that would probably be the best source. These should be added in the article.
    The statement "Many people with congenital anosmia often do not enjoy food as much as others because they cannot smell it." also needs to be handled. You don't want to have the article sound ableist and violate NPOV. The new source you added explicitly counters the statement in the article by saying "People with congenital olfactory loss may not miss what they never had." In this way, the congenital form of the condition is different from the acquired form, and this should be in the article.
    You also need to find a source that says Ben Cohen has the congenital form of the condition, or remove the statement from the article. awkwafaba (📥) 16:42, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Awkwafaba: Thank you for the feedback. I have removed the sentence stating "Many people with congenital anosmia often do not enjoy food as much as others because they cannot smell it" to avoid any potential ableism and to maintain a neutral point of view. Additionally, I have revised the mention of Ben Cohen to remove the reference to congenital anosmia. Although an interview mentions his anosmia from childhood, which is often considered congenital anosmia, I understand the need for a specific reference that clearly spells out "congenital anosmia." Therefore, I am removing the term "congenital" for now until I can find a source that explicitly confirms it. --AbhiSuryawanshi (talk) 17:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Article was promoted to Good Article within the last couple of days, is easily long enough, well written and copiously referenced. In my opinion the original hook, about being the first to get a BA degree, is best - very interesting indeed. The fact is cited immediately after it, in the lead introduction, to a page hosted on the university website. If I was being picky I'd say the info about achieving a BA degree should be included in the main body of the article too, because the lead intro is normally a summary of the main article. But the GA reviewers didn't have an issue with this, so I'm happy to say good to go to the next stage. Sionk (talk) 17:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Willthorpe You misunderstood what I said.

We can only promote hooks where the hook content is written with similar language in the article and where that information is directly followed by an inline citation.

    • Hi Roc0ast3r, nice article on an interesting subject; review: article created 7 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited, I would be a little wary of ALT1 as the article (and source) state that he later regretted not taking up his seat, happy to leave to the discretion of the promoter; no QPQ is required. I picked up the dates of his eligibility for the Lords (stated in the infobox) are not cited, if these can be added or removed this should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 07:39, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • ... that the discovery of a coffin belonging to Ahhotep I, which had been reused to bury a high priest, ignited a debate among scholars over the true number of Egyptian queens named Ahhotep?
    • Source: "In 1859, a discovery was made at Dra Abu el-Naga of the burial of a queen. The deceased was named as Queen-Consort Ahhotep on her coffin... However, the identification of this Ahhotep with the historically-known wife of King Seqenenra-Tao and mother of King Ahmose was thrown into doubt with the discovery of another coffin from the Deir el-Bahari cache, which also identified the owner as Queen-Consort Ahhotep... This has led to considerable debate over their identities, familial relationships and discussions of whether there were one, two, or even three Ahhoteps." (Sidpura, pp. 21, 23)
    "In 1881, the discovery of the cache at Deir el-Bahri revealed a second coffin for a queen Ahhotep... which contained no more the original mummy but had been reused to host the body of Pinudjem I." (Betro, pp. 134-135).

    Alexander Langmuir

    • Source: "In 1949, Dr. Langmuir created a corps of epidemiologists at what is now the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The corps was ready to fly anywhere immediately to investigate reports of an epidemic or an unusual cluster of cases. Known as the Epidemic Intelligence Service, the program played a crucial role in turning what was then an obscure and fledgling operation into a large Federal agency. [...] When the possibility of biological warfare was raised during the Korean War, scientists looked to epidemiology as the first line of defense. But the country was not prepared. Dr. Langmuir seized the opportunity to strengthen disease surveillance and his program." [33]
    • Reviewed:
    • Comment: I feel that initializing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is appropriate for readability, given that the hook specifically focuses on Langmuir's work with its subsidiary Epidemic Intelligence Service. However, if others feel that the full agency name needs to be listed, that still fits within the 200 character limit (147 vs 186).

    OK, here's the source quote for ALT0 with my translation. It comes from Sviridov's personal jottings that were intended for an essay about Shostakovich published in 1976:

    Когда я играл в Союзе Лен<инградских> комп<озиторов> свою Стр<унную> симфонию, он выступил на обсуждении и говорил: «Свиридов—это наша надежда» и еще несколько раз так говорил. (When at the Len[ingrad] Union of Comp[osers] I played my Str[ing] Symphony, [Shostakovich] spoke up at the conference and said "Sviridov is our hope" and repeated this several more times.)

    —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:04, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As for ALT1, here's the quote with translation:

    Одной из причин того, что она выпала из поля зрения исследователей, стал тот факт, что после 1943 г. симфония покинула концертный репертуар. [...] Тем не менее симфония не была забыта автором. [...] Вполне очевидно, что Георгий Васильевич хотел дать своему незаслуженно забытому сочинению новую жизнь. Это произошло в 2000 г., уже после кончины композитора. 28 июня 2000 г. в Большом зале Санкт-Петербургской филармонии с успехом прошла повторная премьера Симфонии в исполнении камерного ансамбля «Солисты Москвы» под управлением Юрия Башмета. (One of the reasons [the Symphony for Strings] fell from favor with researchers is the fact that after 1943 it was dropped from the repertoire. [...] Even so, it was not forgotten by its composer. [...] Clearly, Georgy Vasilyevich wanted to breathe new life into his unjustly forgotten work. After the composer's death this came to pass in 2000. The successful second premiere of the Symphony took place on June 28 at the Large Hall of the Saint Petersburg Philharmonia, played by the Moscow Soloists chamber ensemble conducted by Yuri Bashmet.)

    • Created July 3, not July 9, but as of the July 9 nomination date that was still current enough. Long enough and adequately sourced. QPQ done. Earwig is overloaded and unavailable but spot-checking found no likely copyvio. Hook interesting and within rules. Both hook claims are almost sourced by the "Doyen" footnote, except their number is slightly under 25,000. "Over 25,000" is however in the Storytelling, Self, Society footnote. I don't think we can read anything from the publication dates of those two sources, which are both obituaries of Noy from roughly the same time. Different web sources have different numbers and the archives itself [35] does not appear to provide a current number. If we want to be cautious, we could say "approximately 25,000". I'll leave it up to the hook-builder, but other than that quibble this is good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The way the hook is presented feels a bit punchy, as if children are being excluded from a friendly public library and not like from a library of similar stature to the US Library of Congress. The National Library of Korea generally has a serious academic reputation, and there are numerous local libraries in Seoul for all ages. I'm a bit skeptical of this library being used as a talking point like this (although this talking point is used in both SK/English-language media), although I do personally agree with the conclusion being drawn. The hook is true and I won't challenge it, but just wanted to share context for it. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 08:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I notice you've added some content cited to Korean language sources to the article. English sources didn't provide any context about other libraries (and some stated that other libraries were also no kid zones). Obviously the language cited doesn't matter for verifiability, just whether or not the given source is a reliable one. I don't speak Korean so I'm unsure if this source is reliable [37]. I'd appreciate a second opinion here. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's the weekly edition of Kyunghyang Shinmun, article by this reporter. The reporter seems to be employed by the newspaper; the piece specifically cited is just a casual society piece. It's not a particularly important ref; you can remove if want. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 13:07, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, thanks for that context. Unless the publication is known for publishing unreliable content, it's probably fine. Could you provide some background on this source too? I just want to make sure there's really strong sourcing for the when statements here. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's Yonhap News Agency, one of the largest news agencies in South Korea. No particular strong particular leaning that I know of and is considered among the most reliable in Korea. Anything in particular about the article you'd like to know? 211.43.120.242 (talk) 13:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    경기일보 is Kyeonggi Ilbo [ko], a regional newspaper for Gyeonggi Province. No particular strong reputation that I know of; just a local paper. The Chosun Ilbo is a newspaper of record, and only cited for one sentence where it's reporting the results of a survey. The only source that's a little sus is OhmyNews in the image caption; the only reason I added that was because that's where the image comes from and it's a fairly innocuous claim being cited. Please lmk if there's any other concerns. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 14:06, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Nothing in particular comes to mind (I'll let you know if anything comes up), I just wanted to make sure everything was good since I don't speak the language. Thanks for humouring me on this. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 14:07, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • As a Good level article, this automatically passes several of the criteria, such as length and very obviously using in-line referencing properly and all of that. The nomination was passed yesterday, making this new enough. All three hooks are good and their refs check out for the info and for in-line usage in the article for the information. I'm more partial to the first two than the third one, personally, as the most interesting. No QPQ needs to be done as this is your first nomination. Looks good to go!

Hook is interesting and cited to a reliable source -- but I notice the source doesn't specify Zou raised chickens (only "fowl", which could mean other domestic birds).

The hook is interesting, though the source for the "hole" part is in French, and is poorly scanned, but Asiatimes tells about both hole and disruption.
