Instructions for nominatorsedit
If this is your first nomination, please read the DYK rules before continuing. Further information can be found at the supplementary guidelines.
Frequently asked questionsedit
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 reviewersedit
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 hookedit
- 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 queueedit
- 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 nameedit
- 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.

- Hook
- Hook says that the church is "one of Finland's oldest and well preserved wooden churches". The source however says
[the church] ... is one of Finland’s oldest preserved wooden churches.
So, basis this source, the first part of the hook is quoted and the latter part (i.e. "well preserved") is a subjective opinion that is not born by the quote. Furthermore, when we say the statement in the latter part of the hook, we should quote it to a source that is independent. Currently, the source links to the city's tourism website if I understand it correct -- that might not be the best source. - Consider retaining the first part and remove the subjectivity in the second part unless we are able to source it to a reliable independent source. e.g. "the church is one of the oldest preserved wooden churches"
- Hook says that the church is "one of Finland's oldest and well preserved wooden churches". The source however says
Article feedback below. The article is largely good with some improvement feedback below.
- Lede
- "The church is considered one of the best preserved wooden churches in Finland" -- According to whom? Can we tie that statement to Finnish Heritage Agency? If so, this can be a compelling statement. However, if we are saying "According to Visit Lapland, the church is considered one of the best preserved wooden churches in Finland," that might not be compelling enough
- History
- Some amount of copyediting might be required here across the section.
- You could start with when construction began and when it was completed, rather than starting with when construction was completed and then coming back three sentences later to say when construction might have started.
- "Valuable persons" -- consider rewording this phrase. Prominent people? Consider adding a few examples of these prominent people
- "is best preserved as a mummy" -- reword this phrase
- "renovated again in 1979–1980 and 1992–1995" -- if you are giving a range of dates consider using "between" instead of "in"
- Structure
- "Medieval tradition" -- is there further qualification that can be added here? e.g. Medieval tradition of xxx
- "Exceptional way" -- I do not know the architectural concepts here, but, are we trying to say the planking is different from normal rafter structure. If so, consider rewording
- Other Notes
- Can we add any notes on what the church is used for currently? The Visit Sodankyla website says it is not open for visitors currently.[1] Any details that you can add?

@Ktin: Does the above address your concerns? Z1720 (talk) 18:31, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Reopening per concerns at WT:DYK – some more reliable sources for the hook (and excising the non-reliable sources) would be good before re-approval. Thanks :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:37, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- Copying my note from WT:DYK.I agree with @Theleekycauldron:'s note in spirit. In fact I had noted that in my review. That said, the revised hook is a very basic one which is hard not to prove. The hook basically says, the church is one of the oldest preserved wooden churches. The fact is so-basic, that the mere existence of the church (in whatever active capacity) is sufficient to prove the hook. And, the tourism department website proves its existence, in my opinion. That said, if folks want to get a WP:RS source other than the tourism department website, and the nominator is willing, I will not stand in the way. Cheers.
- Copying my note from WT:DYK. Another issue is that the final paragraph, from "The church does not have roof chairs" appears to be an uncredited machine translation of the Finnish article. TSventon (talk) 10:12, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- The preceding paragraph, from "Stylistically, the church represents" also appears to be an uncredited machine translation of the Finnish article. TSventon (talk) 21:40, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note and the findings TSventon. I am tagging @Juustila: to address some of these. Ktin (talk) 01:34, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- In parallel, wanted to ask about the specific guidance we should be sharing with the nominators on this topic. I am somewhat unclear, because in the latest Vector 2022 skin, there seems to be a push to translate Wikipages to multiple languages using machine translations as a starting action. I am assuming that the skin / workflow asks folks to do their edits / checks after the machine translation is generated? Ktin (talk) 01:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Ktin, what guidance we should share with nominators is possibly a question for WT:DYK, but the guidance I was using was Baike: Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects, which says that content copied from Wikipedia, including translations, should be attributed in an edit summary. This has not been done, but can be done retrospectively. Help:Translation discourages unedited machine translations. I generally use Google translate, where the quality varies by language: Swedish to English often works well, Finnish to English needs more checking as seen here. I use the old skin, which also suggests translating articles using the Baike: Content translation tool. If you are translating from English, the tool incorporates machine translation and asks you to review it. If you are translating into English, the tool does not incorporate machine translation. TSventon (talk) 01:22, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Ktin and Juustila:, I have translated the sv article on block-pillar churches, so I can suggest an alternative hook. Otherwise, it may be possible to find better sources for one of the previous alternatives.
- ALT3: ... that Sodankylä Old Church (pictured) is one of twelve surviving block-pillar churches in Finland and Sweden? Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20190822053635/https://www.kulttuuriymparistomme.fi/sv-FI/Aktuellt/Artiklar/Platser_for_tro_och_forestallningar/Blockpelarkyrkan_ar_en_finlandsk_special(38198) According to its website Kulttuuriymparistomme.fi was a service maintained by the Finnish Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Education and Culture and Museum Agency
TSventon (talk) 16:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- If others think this is a better hook, then I give for ALT3 my approval. Juustila (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Juustila I believe that, as it is a government website, the source for my Alt3 is more reliable than the sources for Ktin's Alt2. The problem was the sourcing, not the hook. I have asked at WT:DYK if the sourcing of the article itself is a problem.
- I noticed that the two paragraphs of the "Structure" section appeared been machine translated from the Finnish article. Are you aware now that coping within Wikipedia should be acknowledged in an edit summary, per Baike: Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects? I have changed a few of the words based on the Swedish version. Is the rest of the article in your own words? Copying or translating content from other sources may be a Baike: Copyright violation. TSventon (talk) 20:05, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Partly it is in my own words. I admit that I have used a translator to help me in some parts, but nevertheless I tried to compose them to look like myself, because I do know that a direct translation alone is not enough as it is. Are you trying to say that today it is no longer allowed to take anything from other wiki sites and translate them into English, regardless of how much factual information (with source materials) related to the topic it contains? I'm just trying to be useful and to join others in providing information! Is that wrong? Juustila (talk) 03:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Juustila it is fine to copy or translate from other Wikipedias, I did it myself with Block-pillar church. However you are required to use an edit summary such as
Some content in the first edit was translated from the existing Finnish Wikipedia article at fi:Sodankylän vanha kirkko; see its history for attribution.
, which I have now done for you. You should review the translated text for errors, but it doesn't have to be perfect. I changed some odd translations of architectural terms here, let me know if you disagree with anything. - Also theleekycauldron asked for the non-reliable sources to be excised. I think that means lifeinlapland.com and tiedonportailla.fi. TSventon (talk) 22:42, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Very well then. In the future, I'll try to remember to mention if an article I've created is a translation. Juustila (talk) 02:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Ktin and Juustila:, I have now removed lifeinlapland.com and tiedonportailla.fi, unfortunately I couldn't find a better source for
the oldest preserved wooden churches in Finland
. Juustila are you happy with this, if not please can you suggest an alternative? TSventon (talk) 19:06, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm okay with this. Juustila (talk) 01:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
@Ktin, Juustila, TSventon, and Theleekycauldron: Hi all, looking in in the interests of getting this moving. Your best source is:
- Kairamo, M. (2000). "The Restoration of Sodankylä Old Church 1992-1995". In Kelley, Stephen J.; Salenikovich, A. J.; Stern, E. G.; Loferski, J. R. (eds.). Wood Structures: A Global Forum on the Treatment, Conservation, and Repair of Cultural Heritage. American Society for Testing and Materials. ASTM International. pp. 131–152. ISBN 978-0-8031-2497-4.
It will pretty much cover the original hook and almost everything else you could want; no need for primary sources, SPS websites any more. Perhaps something like:
- ALT4: ... that Sodankylä Old Church, (pictured), was built in 1689, renovated in the 20th century, and has been described as "the best preserved in its original form in Finland"?
Can send a pdf of the piece if required; will re-review if required. ——Serial Number 54129 17:29, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Serial Number 54129 please can you paste the relevant text from the book, here? Ktin (talk) 17:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- ALT5: ... that Sodankylä Old Church (pictured) is one of twelve surviving block-pillar churches and has been described as the "best preserved in its original form in Finland"?

(2000)
@Serial Number 54129, Ktin, and Juustila: I have proposed a hook combining Serial Number 54129's and my suggestions. The relevant quote is Sodankylä wooden church is a so called block pillar church, of which is best preserved in its original form in Finland.
so I think that the quote in the hook is misleading without mentioning that Sodankylä is a block pillar church. TSventon (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Personally I don't see the relevance of it being a block-pillared church; it#'s still the oldest surviving church of any kind. I think adding additional info of a purely technical nature reduces the hook's impact and is liable to confuse the reader. ——Serial Number 54129 13:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- I would not mind a simpler hook, but the quote is about block pillar churches and it is misleading to imply that a part of it is about churches in general. Sodankylä is not "the oldest surviving church of any kind" as there are earlier surviving block-pillar churches. There are even earlier medieval stone churches in Finland. TSventon (talk) 15:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Ktin: do you have time to take another look at this? TSventon (talk) 12:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sure thing. I have been away for a bit. Will give it a look in a day. Ktin (talk) 18:39, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hey folks. I am sorry to add more options at this stage, but, how about one of these two hooks and we move forward?
- ALT6: ... that Sodankylä Old Church (pictured) is one of twelve surviving block-pillar churches in Finland?
- ALT7: ... that Sodankylä Old Church (pictured) is one of the oldest preserved wooden churches in Finland?
- I think both of these are quite simple for any reader. @TSventon, Serial Number 54129, and Juustila:. What do you folks think? Also, please can one of you help me with the English translation that helps validate ALT6? Ktin (talk) 03:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Ktin:, welcome back. ALT6 is my Alt3 above except it should say Finland and Sweden, as one of the churches is in Sweden. Or it could say eleven surviving BPSs in Finland. I gave a reference in Swedish Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20190822053635/https://www.kulttuuriymparistomme.fi/sv-FI/Aktuellt/Artiklar/Platser_for_tro_och_forestallningar/Blockpelarkyrkan_ar_en_finlandsk_special(38198), which lists the 12 surviving churches at the end, which translate as
The block pillar churches in order of age
Vörå church 1626–27 (extended to cross church 1777)
Muhos church 1634
Torneå church 1684–86
Tervola old church 1687–89
Kempele old church 1688–1691
Sodankylä old church 1689
Ulrika Eleonora church in Kristinestad 1700
Jukkasjärvi 1726 (Norrland)
Alastaro church 1754 (originally in Loimaa)
Utajärvi church 1762
Temmes church 1767
Ullava 1783
- Alt7 also needs a source. The same source also says that
The oldest block pillar churches are also among the oldest timber buildings in the country.
Sodankylä old church is sixth out of eleven, so a little later than the oldest BPCs. TSventon (talk) 03:46, 28 March 2024 (UTC)- Thanks TSventon for pointing out that ALT6 is in essence ALT3. With all of this, I am thinking we go with ALT7 and keep it simple. If you are good, I will mark ALT7 as approved. Ktin (talk) 04:32, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Go for it, age is more interesting than blockiness ;) ——Serial Number 54129 11:01, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

- Could be better worded. Remember most readers won't have context. How about: ... that Megan Thee Stallion raps a reference to a federal law pertaining to the sex offender registry on her song "Hiss"? Zanahary (talk) 07:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have to agree here. Without additional context, the hook is hard to understand or at least not very hooky. The new proposal, while longer, does provide additional context that is more likely to at least raise attention. With that said, I do wonder if alternative angles can be proposed here. Maybe Launchballer can propose some ideas? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:23, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'd probably have approved ALT0 myself, or at least not expanded it by much (something like "the federal sex offender law Megan's Law" at most).
- ALT2: ... that Nicki Minaj reacted to Megan Thee Stallion's "Hiss" with a 3,100 character Twitter diatribe and a diss track?
- ALT3: ... that following the release of Megan Thee Stallion's "Hiss", Nicki Minaj responded with a diss track insulting her dead mother, appearance, and ex-boyfriend?
- ALT4: ... that Nicki Minaj reacted to Megan Thee Stallion's "Hiss" by mounting a smear campaign against her?
- ALT5: ... that following the mention of Megan's Law in Megan Thee Stallion's "Hiss", Megan's father threatened legal action?--Launchballer 11:08, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

At the point I closed this, you had already stated you lacked both interest and time to fulfil the nomination, and if you believe that is not somehow a withdrawal, then I suggest striking and rephrasing wholesale. Secondly, you stated you would leave it to other 'major contributors', yet your contributions show you making no effort whatsoever to do so until now, even though you have had over 24 hours to do so. The next time, I expect it will be closed as rejected, due to a number of source integrity issues in the article. Cheers! ——Serial Number 54129 14:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Head Harbour Lighthouse
- ... that there's an East Quoddy Head Lighthouse (pictured) and a West Quoddy Head Lighthouse across the bay from one another (in matching colors!) but that one is in Canada and the other is in the United States? Source: https://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=1022
- Reviewed:
- Comment: East Quoddy and West Quoddy are an adorable pair of lighthouses in the Bay of Fundy between Maine, USA and New Brunswick, Canada. They're both painted a bright red and white, (with America's in patriotic stripes and Canada's with a classic St. George's Cross,) and are just a delightful twin site. I noticed there wasn't an article for East Quoddy (a.k.a. Head Harbour Light), so I wrote one up and am submitting this now, hopefully you like it!

- I'm not sure this qualifies as a reliable source, it appears to be the self-published work of an amateur. nableezy - 16:27, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's a thorough, secondary source for information about many lighthouses, which further cites primary sources. I'm happy to submit other links to more authoritative sources, but I chose this one because it included info about both East and West Quoddy in the same body of text, so it seemed most relevant. (Also, sorry if this is bad protocol, this is my first DYK!) Garnet Moss (talk) 23:12, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- It is secondary sure, but it is self-published and I dont see anything indicating the author has academic works on the topic to make it a usable self-published source. So yes, please do include some other source for the statement. Thanks, nableezy - 14:17, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Sure thing; I'll note the "statement" is essentially just that this pair of lighthouses exists on the bay. If a simple tourism page would work, there's this one from the New Brunswick tourism department's website, noting that the lighthouse is twinned with West Quoddy. If something more 'serious' would be preferred, I'd have to cite a pair of pages, like this one from the official Canadian Register of Historic Places website, in conjunction with this one from the offician American National Register of Historic Places website. These don't reference one another, but they site the location in the same bay. Hopefully one of these options would work! Garnet Moss (talk) 03:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Im sorry, maybe I just dont have enough background here, but the tourism site just says
It is the older sister light of West Quoddy Light in Lubec, Maine.
It doesn't support the matching colors, which I know you can see from photos, but I dont know if this really rises to supported by a reliable source for the hook. nableezy - 16:19, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

- Not entirely sure how to respond, I disagree with that assessment. They're sister lights, as is described in multiple sources, and their colors match. I think the sourcing is adequate. But if the consensus is against that, then I could just rewrite it! Maybe something along the lines of "... that East Quoddy Head Lighthouse (pictured) and West Quoddy Head Light are twin lighthouses on Passamaquoddy Bay, one in Canada and the other in the United States?" Or I'm happy to take other suggestions. Garnet Moss (talk) 02:32, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Passing through; but you can keep the original ALT0, I think—except the rather unencyclopedic bit about color?—using
- Jones, Ray (2023). Lighthouses of New England: From Maine to Long Island Sound. Rowman & Littlefield. pp. 7–8. ISBN 978-1-4930-4727-7.
Or, how about, something more "ironic" (author's words not mine!):
ALT1 ... that the most easterly point of the United States is the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, off the coast of Maine?
The name of this light is ironic, since the tower stands on the easternmost point of land in the United States. Situated on a forty-foot-high cliff, the light overlooks Quoddy Narrows, which separates the United States from Canada. Across this channel lies Campobello Island, with East Quoddy Head at its northeastern end; hence the name West Quoddy Head for the American light.West Quoddy is among the oldest lights in Maine.
Will review if required. Paging discussants: @Garnet Moss, Z1720, and Nableezy:. Cheers, ——Serial Number 54129 18:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your input, that's a great additional source and a good idea for an alternative basis for the DYK. I'd propose an amended original, plus a new version based on your suggestion, whichever is preferred! First,
- "... that there's an East Quoddy Head Lighthouse (pictured) and a West Quoddy Head Lighthouse across the bay from one another, but that one is in Canada and the other is in the United States?"
- and second,
- "... that despite being the easternmost point of the United States, the lighthouse on Campobello Island is called West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and that its sister beacon, East Quoddy Head Lighthouse (pictured), sits across the bay in Canada?"

- Modussiccandi, I don't see this meeting the criterion on having an interesting hook. I think people are generally shocked to be appointed or promoted to positions. Is there anything else you could touch on with an alternative hook? I also have some concerns about the limited sources (only 3), the intro having all of his titles (Pope Francis doesn't even include his multitude of titles, etc. but I think those can be resolved. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:38, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review and thank you for pointing out the titles in the intro. I didn't realise someone had put them there. You are totally right, no point in including them. About the sources: I don't see a clash with the DYK guidelines here since they are reliable and independent. It is, of course, desirable to include as many and varied sources as possible in an article, but I don't see this as relevant to DYK. I also disagree with you regarding the hook: I would've expected him to have felt great excitement or joy (etc.), and I believe the author of the source felt the same, as they included the fact as a hook of sorts to their own piece. Since this seems to be a matter of taste, a third opinion might be an idea to resolve this. Modussiccandi (talk) 20:44, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- You are welcome to request a third opinion, but I will state clearly that someone expressing a simple and common emotion is in no way interesting to a general audience. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Came to review but I see the issue here. @Modussiccandi and Gonzo fan2007: if the article had little of substance on the person, I might agree that a hook such as Modus suggests might be adequate. But in this particular case, there's an elephant in the room, a massive Synodal Way-shaped elephant. Clearly, that is food for a far more interesting hook, and, while we must be mindful of BLP parameters, the section is sufficiently well-sourced that we must be able to use it. However, I note that the article somewhat hedges... it does not clarify his personal stance. What, for example, does Gössl rejected a fundamental document prepared by the commission due to disagreements with the wording including on the "tendency to abolish the bipolarity of genders"... However, after the conclusion of the Synodal Way, he joined the majority opinion calling for a reappraisal of homosexuality in catholic teaching
mean, succinctly? It sounds as though, if we could be slightly robust, and clear, about his own views, there would be a good hook in there, and one in which would be universal interest, I think. ——Serial Number 54129 18:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, Serial Number 54129. That is a good idea. I will have another look at the source and see if something clearer on his own views can be extracted. I don't have much time at the moment, but I'll make sure to propose an alternative hook in the not-too-distant future. Modussiccandi (talk) 19:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Serial Number 54129, I agree with your takeaway regarding other options, however I still disagree that ALT0 has any chance at being interesting. I work in mostly American football, this would be like saying that a college player felt great shock at being drafted, or a player feeling great shock at signing a contract, etc. This is a common emotion to feel when achieving something professionally and not at all interesting to even a very specific audience, let alone a general one. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:08, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- My apologies for the delay, Serial Number 54129. I have tried to find more precise language on his rejection of the document, but there seems to be just this one quote from him. But I have added clearer material on his progressive turn on homosexuality and I think a potential hook could look like this:
- ALT1: ... that Herwig Gössl rejected a reform document on the Catholic theology of sexuality prepared by the Synodal Way but later endorsed the church's decision to bless homosexual couples?
- I don't view this as set in stone, so do let me know your thoughts. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 21:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Modussiccandi: Yes, that's interesting to everyone on both sides of the argument. I always like to leave latitude for the dyk submitter, so tweak as you see fit. Paging @Gonzo fan2007: for thoughts. ——Serial Number 54129 12:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Overall: There are significant problems with this nomination. On a DYK level, the QPQ is not complete and the hook is not interesting. Those problems can be overcome, but their are fundamental problems with the article. It only cites primary sources, in contradiction of the original research policy, which forbids basing an entire article on them. I have thus marked it as possibly not meeting WP:NEVENT, and am marking this nomination as rejected. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

- Please bring this to WP:AFD if you think this is not notable. Howard the Duck (talk) 16:30, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- No opinion on the notability of the topic, but I agree that the hook is too specialist, perhaps even for Filipino readers, thus failing WP:DYKINT. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:23, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- I thought ties in elections, or even at a subset of one, is interesting as it is rare. We even have an article about that. Howard the Duck (talk) 22:49, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- If the whole election was a tie, maybe yes that would work as a hook. But the tie was for only one town, so it's not really that hooky in this one instance, especially without additional context (like why is it important that it was in Biñan that it was tied, out of all places?) Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- I dunno, even if a gubernatorial election was tied in a certain town, wherever it is, it's interesting, even if the election itself wasn't. The election itself was a landslide, with the winner carrying 6 towns, the loser 4, and one tied. A landslide election saw a tied result in one place. Imagine that. Howard the Duck (talk) 01:04, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- I must admit to being very confused. I cannot see how the 1,400-1,000 victory can be described as a landslide, I cannot see why the not-rare occurence of ties in areas with a small population is being talked about like it's a mystical event, but most of all I cannot see why the fundamental issues of an incomplete QPQ and a complete reliance on primary sources are being disregarded in favour of this comparative tangent. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 04:18, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'm confused myself. How is the "Cablenews-American" newspaper a primary source? AFAIK, this was not an instrument of the American government. If you think this fails WP:GNG, send this to AFD.
- A 60:40 victory is a landslide in most definitions. The source itself calls it as a "big majority".
- I'm actually looking for similar sized elections where the overall result was lopsided, but it was tied on one or more subdivisions and can't find one. Maybe I should try harder, I guess?
- See WP:PRIMARY: "For Wikipedia's purposes, breaking news stories are also considered to be primary sources." I will nominate at AfD tomorrow if there are no further objections; do you know of any WP:SECONDARY sources Howard the Duck? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 06:04, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- How on earth are newspapers from 1910 breaking news sources? The way the world works by then, the time you read the paper, it's been at least 24 hours after the event took place (LOL). But please, do go ahead with the AFD. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:36, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Re: Other sources, the Cablenews-American talks about another newspaper, La Democracia, covering this event. So that's another, only that we don't have access to the specific issue; the University of Santo Tomas Library has copies of some issues, but we don't know if they have issues relevant to this event. Online uploads of newspapers from the Philippines from this time are hard to come by. It's a miracle we have this. Howard the Duck (talk) 10:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Androsaemum; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Comment: I'm afraid this hook just won't work. It plays with technical knowledge on too many levels, and is utterly confusing to the general reader even after they've read both articles. I had to spend a minute or so to figure out that it's playing on differences in botanic and zoologic nomenclature rules, where tautonyms are acceptable in the latter but not the former. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Paul 012: what about a simplified ALT1: ... that double names are allowed for animals like Aniculus aniculus, but "forbidden" for plants like Androsaemum androsaemum? Fritzmann (message me) 20:56, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- That does make it more understandable to DYK readers, but it still needs to be better explained in the articles. The Androsaemum article, for example, only says, "A publication on botanical tautonyms by Ernst Huth in 1893 rejected the name Hypericum androsaemum, which meant that the new and invalid name Androsaemum androsaemum would take priority," which isn't nearly enough context. Why was it rejected? Why was it invalid? Why was this possible? What happened next? The sources also barely mention these specific examples (not at all in the case of Aniculus, as the source is just touching on the concept). While it's simple logic and I wouldn't regard it as violating WP:SYNTH, I don't think it's acceptable under DYK's rules. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Paul for the comments, they're very helpful. I would appreciate a second opinion, preferably as part of a full review, so I'm able to assess whether the required changes are fully necessary and if so, if they are feasible or if I should drop the hooks.

- Article is new enough and long enough. Hook fact accepted in good faith to foreign language source. However, the article uses only two references, only one of which appears to be reliable. The temple.dinamalar.com website appears to be a user generated website with no editorial controls. It should be removed entirely from the article as an unreliable source. All that remains would be the article from Maalaimalar: Tamil News; which is fine as a news source. What's sorely lacking here is any reference works from a reliable publisher with a more academic look at the temple. There really needs to be some better references added to the article to pass WP:DYKCITE.4meter4 (talk) 00:37, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- @SeoR: This would be an interesting hook. Unfortunately I question the reliability of the current sourcing, particularly the most used sources such as this Medium post (the author's other posts include "10 Reasons You Should Use ChatGPT To Create Content") and BellaNaija (which has not just no byline, but no named staff). There appear to be better sources out there: [3], [4]. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 21:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Hameltion, and I will look into those right away. Medium has very mixed content, it is true, and while I think these are all genuine (and local) sources, those two are indeed not ideal, and I will check for substitutes. It is probable that there are more sources in various of Nigeria's many languages, but I have not found them (and unfortunately the Hausa and Yoruba wikis are rather smaller than EN, and have not got to this topic yet, or they might offer more). I had hoped that since the film was on a global platform, there would be more reviews / commentaries, but as yet, only inadmissible IMDB, no RT or similar. I will ping when I've done some further work, as I also really like the concept here. SeoR (talk) 23:04, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Those were nice links, thanks, and there is also, from this Nollywood Reporter, [5], but none of these covers the really remarkable point that this whole cinematic complex, turning out 000s of films, lacks kids' movies.

I studied the existing source for this point, and they do seem to be a regular commentator, but I do see the "question mark" issues. Unfortunately, despite many articles covering the film, I have not yet found one covering quite the same point, but I have finally found an abstract of one saying "first kids film", so I will try to source that; I have also ordered a library book on Nollywood, which I will pick up Monday.

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: @Your Power and Lk95: The article overall looks fine, and I really like that cheeky hook, so good job! I should point out, though, that a QPQ submission is still needed... Plus, I feel like you could tweak the hook slightly, just to make clearer that SZA performed the song in direct endorsement of that forest restoration initiative. Oltrepier (talk) 15:25, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Will handle the QPQ soon, @Oltrepier. Anyways, I am not too entirely convinced of the request above. The DYK as it stands is already factually correct, and adding this specificity to the hook only serves to clutter it with additional, unnecessary information, which I feel diminishes the interest factor. Welcoming a third opinion, though Elias 🪐 (dreaming of Saturn; talk here) 08:09, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Your Power: I think you're right, actually. Maybe we could just add a link to Forest restoration, couldn't we? Oltrepier (talk) 08:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Found the hook prime to be clunky, so I propose an ALT1:
- ... that even if life might be better in Saturn, 100 million more trees planted can still make life here better for everyone?
Pinging Oltrepier for their thoughts on which variant is better. I will admit that contemp music articles are hard to DYK-ify in general, so any more hook suggestions would be useful here (considering i believe there is some interesting stuff presented in the article) Elias 🪐 (dreaming of Saturn; talk here) 10:46, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Your Power: It looks good, thank you! To be honest, that's a very DYK-worthy caption already, so no worries: we can always work on the hook during the review phase. On a side note, how is the QPQ sub going? Oltrepier (talk) 10:57, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Your Power: Please respond to the above. If a QPQ is not provided in a few days, this nomination may be closed as unsuccessful. Z1720 (talk) 15:15, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- The hooks proposed are absolutely POV, reading like PR or plain propaganda. One's reforestation initiative can be presented without blanket endorsement, just like one artist's creative outburst or vague metaphor should not be addressed as an actual statement of belief. Regardless of how you feel about the cause championed here: find another, neutrally worded, hook; our readers are not idiots. Dahn (talk) 23:16, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
With the new article "Saturn Returns Interlude" created, I would like to propose the following hook:
- "... that singers Kacey Musgraves, Ariana Grande, and SZA all happened to release songs about Saturn returns just two weeks apart from each other?" Source: Rolling Stone, Nylon, NYT, Vogue
Pinging @Dahn and @Oltrepier. Elias 🪐 (dreaming of Saturn; talk here) 05:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Your Power: Very nice idea, indeed! I would only suggest you, if you can, to create a new article for Kacey's song "Deeper Well" (since it was the lead single from the album), so you can complete the "trifecta" of nominations. Plus, make sure this coincidence is properly addressed in all of the three articles (currently, only the page about "Saturn Returns Interlude" mentions the topical bond between these three songs). Oltrepier (talk) 08:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @Oltrepier, but while I would love for "Deeper Well" to have its own article, coverage in RS outside of album reviews is currently sparse and I don't think WP:THREE (the guideline and the "trifecta" you mention) will be met. I have added the note about the coincidences to the "Saturn" article. Elias 🪐 (dreaming of Saturn; talk here) 06:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems: - Not a real problem for the purpose of this review, but reference 4 is only a commentary to a primary source (a stand-alone study), so not a good WP:MEDRS; it's serves as a source to only one sentence though.
Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - The first hook references an article by StatPearls, which is a potentially controversial source - see for example this discussion. Moreover, according to the StatPearl source, PIH may in some cases take years to resolve without treatment. On the other hand, acne as a cause of PIH is non-controversial (the hook could be citing reference number 3); and reference number 2 does mention that it resolves in most cases "within 6–12 months of treating the underlying inflammatory condition". Both these references are perfect medical sources anyway, so I think all will be fine if these two references are cited for the hook instead. Some rephrasing may also be warrantied, to allow for the facts that acne needs to be treated (or resolve) for PIH to go away; that hyperpigmentation is not generalized, but localized (ref 2: "brown, black, or gray macules or patches in the pattern of an underlying inflammatory condition"); and that it can be even more than 12 months. ALT1, is fine, though it can also cite ref 3.
- Interesting:
QPQ: None required. |
Overall: Primary hook more interesting and catchy than ALT1. With some changes in the hook and the hook's reference, as described above, I strongly urge advancing it; this is my second DYK review, so I would appreciate a more experienced reviewer to make the final decision.

- The problem I have with this article is that this isn't a particularly 'good' 1,400+ characters; lose the three WP:SEAOFBLUE lists, and we're at little over 1,000. Even if we were to count the content in boxes, virtually all of the Description column is unsourced. I am reminded of arguments made earlier this month at 2024 Netball Nations Cup. In short, I wouldn't say no, but I'd want to see some more work on this. (Note also that I do my QPQs oldest first; other editors are free to jump in ahead of me.)--Launchballer 10:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: Thank you for your review! I understand the policies; I still think that the table contains some substantial prose, and substantial encyclopedic content (unlike - I dare say - 2024 Netball Nations Cup). I believe the table format works well here, and changing it to prose would not serve a purpose other than to make it DYK-eligible. I do not think your concerns that the lead is not very substantial are unwarranted; though I truly don't think more introductory content, other than an outline of endocrinology as a medical specialty, is either needed, or indeed to be located in the sources. My seas of blue - which by the way are not the truest ones, as they are separated by commas - serve exactly to outline endocrinology, and I don't see why they should be excluded.
- As regards citations, they are absent from (almost) all boxes in the Description column because the citations in the end of each row, under Uses, cover the respective descriptions as well. My research before nominating yielded few standalone lists in the DYK archives that I could use as guides, and not an absolutely clear policy on where in a table row inline citations must be placed. (Full disclosure: I do not exactly comprehend what WP:WHENNOTCITE tries to say about lists and tables). I also note Featured Lists from the sciences with somewhat comparable ostensibly uncited columns, like List of parasites of the marsh rice rat or Camouflage methods. In any case, the description of the ultrasound system is in citation 4, of a continuous glucose monitor in citations 7 and 8, and so on. Still, if you feel inline citations should be repeated there as well, that's no biggy.
- Thoughts? NikosGouliaros (talk) 16:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm with you, this article is a bit better than the cup article. With the benefit of a few days, I wonder if it's worth letting the lists 'breathe' a bit, for example "the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, the thyroid" or "various diseases of the thyroid gland such as X, various metabolic bone disorders such as Y". I made a test edit, and I got it up to 1,497 without the "such as"es.--Launchballer 10:29, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

- The article meets the requirements for DYK based on when it was nominated. The sources seem accurate and there does not appear to be any controversies. Each hook is verifiable. My main concern is that they are a little long, creating issues for readability and understanding. Is there a way to trim this to be more concise and clear? The essence is that the Herodian Quarter contains ruins that can be traced back to the Roman siege of Jerusalem. Shooterwalker (talk) 22:21, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

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

"The documentary claims that the Muslim Brothers reject Western values and culture, and use their religion in a clear strategy to gain power in Western societies: Not through violence and threats, but by infiltrating and undermining democracy from the inside." I summed this up in the article as "The film attempts to expose how the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrates Western society in order to undermine democracy (and destroy Western values) [the latter from an earlier quote from the same source]."

The hook as framed is making a statement from the perspective of the documentary or the documentary's maker, whereas the article is positioning the text in question as a criticism of the documentary through the analysis of a media review. They are not the same thing. You can not reframe a critical opinion as a fact, which is what the hook has erroneously done. Either make the text say "Freedom, Equality and the Muslim Brotherhood claimed to expose how the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrates Europe from within" to match the hook and with a supporting source that is fact not opinion based, or suggest an alt hook that matches the text, "Freedom, Equality and the Muslim Brotherhood was criticised in a review by Aftenposten for construing views of how the Muslim Brotherhood allegedly infiltrates Europe from within." I don't know how else to be more clear on this. The article prose needs to directly match the hook fact.4meter4 (talk) 17:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Thismess and 4meter4: I unpromoted based on the following discrepancy. The article and hook say: "claimed to expose how the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrates Western society in order to undermine democracy and destroy Western values from within". The source says (translated): "claims that the Muslim Brotherhood rejects Western values and culture, and uses its religion in a clear strategy to gain power in Western societies: not by means of violence and threats, but by infiltrating and undermining democracy from the inside". The source just says that the claim is that the MB rejects Western values, not that they are destroying them.

- Article is sufficiently new, long and cute, and looks very impressive, especially for somebody who has just started editing! I've checked a few sources manually for copyright violations, and they came out clean :). Imagine is clear at low resolution, and is appropriately licensed.
- The DYK line contains jargon (flagellum), which makes it less interesting for the mainpage. Is there a way to explain? The article itself also does not explain what a flagellum is, which is a shame. Typically, Wikipedia wants the lead of an article to be relatively easy to understand, with a bit more leeway for jargon in the body.
- The source statement is slightly different from the DYK statement (up to 3x vs more than 3x).
- The statement "Although 12 phenotypes are theoretically possible, only these 5 have been demonstrated in both a field and laboratory setting" does not seem quite supported by the source. It says 4 have been demonstrated in field and laboratory setting. If you count different, the 12 must also be different, right? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 09:12, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

- Hi Khaltinner! Welcome to DYK. This page is new enough as a move-in from userspace and long enough. The nominator is quid pro quo (QPQ)-exempt. The hook facts are all in the story from The Washington Post and the article, but ALT1 is not worded well because it's 203 children alone plus other people. ALT0 (the first hook listed) and ALT2 check out and are approved. This is a very promising start, but there are some issues with the formatting and style that need fixing to bring this closer to other encyclopedia articles, including:
- The Individual-level factors subsection's reliance on bold text as bullet points is not typical and should be restructured to not need that. Consider an intro paragraph listing the four factors and then the content from each of those four.
- I am also a bit concerned that this independent WikiEdu effort might be duplicative of School shooting#United States, which frankly is eligible for being split out into its own article. I know this might seem like a lot to take in at once, but I'd also like to encourage you as an editor to join WP:DISCORD—it's full of experienced editors (like me) who would be happy to help you out.

- Comment: If there is a way to shorten this DYK do feel free to suggest an alternative that might flow better, the name is deliberately long though (and thus does take up a lot of character space) and I want to keep the context because I feel like the act in itself is quite hooky and the broader context where it is in makes it make much more sense.

- My first thought reading this was "that's not 34 characters". I suggest rearranging this so it ends with her name, such as "that an activist protested use of Chinese characters for Taiwanese Indigenous names by changing hers to Lee I want to exclusively list my tribal name, my Bunun tribal name is Savungaz Valincinan"?--Launchballer 15:35, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: Just for some clarity, the (Chinese) name is " 李我要單列族名我的布農族名字是Savungaz Valincinan", which is translated to the following. There are some publications that remark the spectacle of it being 34 characters in length such as: "34 characters! Legislative candidate with the longest name in next year's general election hopes the government will pay attention to the demand for a separate ethnic name" ("34字!明年大選名字最長立委參選人 盼政府重視單列族名訴求 - 政治 - 自由時報電子報") but that is a whole other fish to fry because it removes a bit of the spectacle if I had included a sentence in a whole other language for the hook. I think your hook does streamline things much better so thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ornithoptera (talk • contribs)

- Not a review, but this article might not be DYK material. (Primarily since our coverage is overwhelmingly negative) Sohom (talk) 16:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input. I've striked out ALT2, given it focuses on the negative. The other two hooks, specifically the first, I'd consider as neutral as they come. The coverage in the article is overwhelming negative due to RS, not due to contributors, with a lot of consideration for using NPOV language and attribution as per BLP policy, as well as including everything positive about Tate, or in defense of him. I'd argue this type of article would come under one of the goals of DYK:
highlight the variety of information on Wikipedia, thereby providing an insight into the range of material that Wikipedia covers.
If we are not including controversial topics, then we are not achieving this diversity. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 17:31, 10 March 2024 (UTC)- We do feature negative hooks about certain things (Site isolation had a semi-negative hook, despite having a overwhelmingly positive reception). I'm not insinuating that NPOV was compromised when building the article eithier (in fact the article great considering how freaking controversial the subject is). I'm just unsure if running a negative article about a BLP is the best idea. In any case, I'll defer to a actual reviewer. Sohom (talk) 20:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

I would just like to bring your attention to the bit of WP:DYKHOOK that says "Hooks that unduly focus on negative aspects of living persons should be avoided", emphasis mine.

- Comments: Well done for creating such an article. However, to make this article more presentable as I mentioned in the Talk area of the article that the Japanese references in the article need to be replaced with English. Both JBIS and Netkeiba have English and can readily be used as references.
- The statistics needs to conform to what is used in the English wikipedia space. There are columns with abbreviations which as specific in Japanese form reader but for the US/English make no sense. Also the odds are not displayed as payout coefficients. Margins are in lengths or part of horse's posture (head, neck, nose etc...) Brudder Andrusha (talk) 21:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- First of all, thank you very much for revising the article. The quality of the article cannot be decent without your help. Second, may I know whether there are any rules stating that English references are better than those which are not in English? For articles about Japanese stuff, isn't that Japanese references are more accurate and relevant?
- Third, for your comment about the abbreviations in the statistics section, could you provide some good articles for my reference? You may guess that I am not that familiar with horse racing from my contributions (but obviously someone with limited knowledge cannot write this article). NinetyNineDragon (talk) 15:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- This is a comment and not a review, but even as someone who's watched Uma Musume, I'm not a fan of the hook. It's more about Fujita or even the game itself than the horse, and the guidelines say that hooks that are only tangentially about the bolded article should be avoided. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- I believe the hook is definitely not tangentially about the article. The information in the hook is completely mentioned in the headline of the source (the Nikkan Sports article) I put above. I guess not everyone here knows Japanese so let me put a rough translations of the headline here: "[Saudi Derby] Uma Musume's Fujita Susumu Got First Overseas Graded Race Victory, Owns Forever Young '[I] won'". If you google Japanese news articles about Forever Young, you will find it is not rare for them to mention Uma Musume at the same time.

The last king of the Congo, Baudouin of Belgium. An heir forging his 21st-century path, William, Prince of Wales. What do all of these people have in common (besides being royals)?

can be misinterpretted that these were all while he was the team's historian. Also, there's no context in the bio about the 1990s period, to provide background on why he started accumulating these. —Bagumba (talk) 06:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

As an alternative, how about a hook of Christl coming out retirement after 7 yrs and already doing research as a hobby before becoming their historian:
"I have been retired for seven years and I don't believe I have had a boring day in that entire period," Christl said. "I loved retirement, but researching Packers' history was my hobby. That's where I was spending a lot of my time. So, why not take advantage of all the information I've collected and preserve it and share it with others?

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Article created on 18 March, and meets the length requirement. All sources are, as far as I can tell, reliable enough for the material they are cited for. Earwig reveals no copyvio and I didn't spot any instances of unacceptably WP:Close paraphrasing. Both hooks are interesting. ALT0 has an extraneous "s" in "billions" and is not properly cited in the article as the article does not mention that the Tsar Bomba was the most powerful nuclear device of all time. ALT1 is properly sourced but I don't think most people know what "inclination" means in this context—"axial tilt" would likely be better. QPQ has been done. Some comments about the content:
- In general, this needs a thorough copyediting for grammar and whatnot.
See MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID.- The WP:Fair use rationale for the image doesn't hold up to scrutiny. A free image of the concept (though not this particular example) of a destroyed Moon could certainly replace this WP:Non-free image.
12*1028
– nonstandard, see MOS:SCIENTIFICNOTATION. Don't use an asterisk for multiplication, and pick either scientific notation or engineering notation—this is neither.a comparable asteroid
– should probably clarify that this means an asteroid of the same size as an individual piece of hypothetical Moon debris (as opposed to the total amount of Moon debris, for instance).substantial atmospheric heating due to friction
– the sources don't say friction, nor should they. See e.g. Meteor air burst#Explanation.oscillate chaotically beyond 45°
– this needs to be rephrased, for a few reasons. Oscillations are always between to values rather than beyond one, for one thing. For another, "chaotically" here is presumably in the mathematical sense but sounds like it means "violently"... except the sentence then goes on to say that it would be fairly slow.beyond 45° on the scale of tens of thousands of years, possibly reaching 85°
– the source that mentions the latter also gives a much longer timeframe.Apart from being practically unfeasible
– it certainly is, but the sources don't say so.Abian claims have no scientific basis - destroying the moon would actually cause natural disasters.
– I don't doubt that the general consensus is that Abian's a crank, but a statement like this really needs stronger sourcing than it currently has. Make sure to make this compliant with WP:YESPOV.The capture of Triton by Neptune possibly destroyed the previous moons of Neptune.
– the impression I get from the cited source is that those moons are believed to have been ejected, not destroyed.- I might mention that Phobos is expected to be destroyed in the future.
- The "In fiction" section lacks proper sourcing. WP:Primary sources are not sufficient here, the content needs to come from secondary or tertiary sources. See e.g. MOS:POPCULT or WP:IPCV. Do sources on the overarching topic—Destruction of the Moon—discuss fictional depictions? If not, this section should be removed per WP:PROPORTION:
An article should not give undue weight to minor aspects of its subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject.
("on the subject" is key here). I took a quick look at the relevant entries in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Science Fact and Science Fiction: An Encyclopedia, and they don't seem to mention this aspect.- I'll clarify a bit here: I see that you have added sources to the individual entries. Those are however sources on the works of fiction themselves rather than sources on the overarching topic—destruction of the Moon. That's not sufficient. You have also added a general source on the subject of fictional depictions of the destruction of the Moon. That's much more like it, though this particular source is a bit questionable; while Gizmodo is
generally reliable for technology, popular culture, and entertainment
per WP:RSP, this is a listicle and those are typically unsuitable for establishing WP:WEIGHT (or WP:NOTABILITY, for that matter), and furthermore it explicitly says that it wasCompiled with the aid of
TV Tropes, an unreliable source (see WP:RSPTVTROPES).The issue here is that fictional depictions of the destruction of the Moon need to be covered in the article no more extensively than in WP:PROPORTION to the coverage of that aspectin the body of reliable, published material on the subject
. If sources that deal specifically with the overarching topic of this article—destruction of the Moon—only mention fictional depictions briefly or in passing, the article must likewise keep it brief. A plain "The destruction of the Moon has appeared in some works of fiction such as X, Y, and Z." might be all that we can justify based on the balance of the sources. I would also strongly recommend against presenting this in a list format; it in general invites the addition of poorly sourced material, and in this specific case the additional visual prominence really serves to over-emphasize this WP:ASPECT in violation of WP:NPOV.

- Article is new enough, neutral, and within policy. Cited thoroughly to reliable RS. Hook fact is interesting and verified to the cited reference. The hook length is fine. The only issue is that the article is far too short of the required length at WP:DYKLEN. The current prose count is only 1,073 characters, and that is with a fully developed lead section. I need to see another 500 characters of text minimum added to the body of the article (i.e. new factual content in the body not the lead) in order to pass both the WP:DYKLEN and WP:DYKCOMPLETE criteria. Once that is done, this hook can be promoted. Otherwise it is a pass on this article for being a WP:STUB which is what it currently is.

The COSMOS field is not one of the deepest images ever taken of the universe and it is definitely not the deepest Hubble image ever taken either. It is also not really accurate to say that it's one of the largest surveys of the universe ever. The esahubble.org page cited as the source doesn't make these claims either. It is one of the largest (maybe the largest?) contiguous fields ever mapped with Hubble, but that is different from the statements made here. Aldebarium (talk) 23:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I mixed up the sources. [[21]https://esahubble.org/images/heic0701g/#:~:text=COSMOS%20%2D%20the%20Cosmic%20Evolution%20Survey,international%20team%20of%2070%20astronomers.%7Cthis]] source is the right one for the "Biggest survey" claim (which isn't a claim, it's a fact stated by Hubble/ESO) and is one of the largest surveys of the universe ever conducted (stated by HubbleSite among others, if you want links use my talk page, as I'm not too good with links). The 2 million+ galaxies statement has been said by multiple credible sources, including Caltech. ᵀʰᵃᵗ ᵒⁿᵉ ᵈᵘᵈᵉ ʷʰᵒ ᵐᵃᵈᵉ ᵃˡˡ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵖᵃᶜᵉ ᵃʳᵗᶦᶜˡᵉˢ (talk) 13:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Still, most of the items listed above are incorrect. It is definitely not correct to state that this is one of the deepest images ever taken (either by Hubble, or more generally). There are many Hubble images that go deeper than this one. It is the largest contiguous survey field ever observed by Hubble, but that’s different from stating that it was one of the largest surveys of the universe ever. Partly this depends on what you mean by “largest”: if referring to angular area covered, other surveys like SDSS are vastly larger. Aldebarium (talk) 15:03, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Relooking at some if the sources, you are actually right, it is the largest contiguous survey, however, so I'll just reword the Hooks ᵀʰᵃᵗ ᵒⁿᵉ ᵈᵘᵈᵉ ʷʰᵒ ᵐᵃᵈᵉ ᵃˡˡ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵖᵃᶜᵉ ᵃʳᵗᶦᶜˡᵉˢ (talk) 15:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. But again, it’s important to clarify this was the largest contiguous area observed *by Hubble* for a distant galaxy survey. It is not even close to being one of the largest contiguous survey fields ever: many other surveys (such as SDSS) have covered vastly larger survey areas. The area of the COSMOS field is 2 square degrees, while the original SDSS covered something like 10,000 square degrees. Aldebarium (talk) 15:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- The hook at present does not appear to meet WP:DYKINT as it is not a hooky hook or one that is likely to attract a broad audience. Pinging SounderBruce to help suggest possible alternative hooks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:43, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think the only decent hook that can come from the article is that New England has played Alajuelense three times in their five CCC/CCL seasons, which is a bit unusual. Of course, this needs to be added to the article first with a good source. SounderBruce 04:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Narutolovehinata5 and SounderBruce, I've added the suggested hook (ALT2), as well as three other alternates. One of the challenges in this article is finding hooks that I could reasonably bold-link the article in.

BMJ."The introduction of seat belt legislation into Britain some few years ago amazed a great number of people who claimed that the law severely interfered with the rights of the individual. The bill went through parliament with ease because it had the full support of the entire medical profession. Until the medical profession is prepared to give similar support to opting out legislation as being the only possible solution to the grave shortage of donor organs for transplantation there will be a continuing waste of life-a waste which I believe to be wicked as well as tragic."

Special occasion holding areaedit
The holding area is near the top of the Approved page. Please only place approved templates there; do not place them below.
- Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section above, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began; 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 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: [23]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [24].
