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

Latest comment: 1 day ago8 comments5 people in discussion
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.

  •   5× expansion of 4 March 2024‎ version completed from 1,888 characters to 20,402 and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quotes from reviews that have all been cited; AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 74 characters long (ALT1 is 113; ALT2 is 141); all three are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs 46 (verifying the main hook and ALT1), 54 (verifying ALT1), 66, 69, and 72 (verifying ALT2) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

5x expanded by OlifanofmrTennant (talk). Self-nominated at 20:54, 1 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Kirby: King of Comics; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

  •   Expanded 5x, from 319 to 1614 characters; long enough. Well-sourced, neutral, no plagiarism. I like the first hook; its source is reliable. Great image; I agree that's a better one than the book cover. Well done taking a stub to a short-ish and salvageable article. Good to go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Figureskatingfan (talk • contribs) 21:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  I have pulled this nom from prep, as it fails to include a summary of the book's contents and thus fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. It also contains at least two errors, one which says Evanier "obtained" artworks from Kirby "while working for him" - he only obtained access, and not apparently while working for him, and another which says the book was met with "positive" reviews when in fact it was panned by The Guardian critic. The article clearly needs more work before it can be featured, if it should be featured at all given the apparent errors. Gatoclass (talk) 09:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  I took a look at this. The summary is extremely short, to the point of remaining woefully incomplete. Still fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Time to pass on this as the nominator just isn't accepting what they are being told.4meter4 (talk) 13:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@4meter4: I've expanded it a bit how much would be needed? I fear that to much would just be a mini biography of Jack Kirby. It took me a while to begin writing the summary as I didnt have my copy at the time.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 14:40, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
OlifanofmrTennant The summary needs to present a complete but not overly detailed picture of the book's entire plot. It should provide enough detail to give the reader a general picture of the book's contents. It should not be too vague (which it currently is) nor should it be overly detailed. It should be a summary. See MOS:PLOT and Wikipedia:Summary style for guidance. I would suggest removing the bulleted point by chapter. It isn't entirely necessary to break down the content into chapters. It would be better to concentrate on narrative. What is the story being told? Summarize that story. Since this is a biography it should be biographical. Best.4meter4 (talk) 14:57, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books/Non-fiction article on summaries for non-fiction such as biographies. It might be helpful to think about how you would summarize the book if you were writing for a summary on the book jacket of the back of the book, or if you were having to write a book summary for an English class, or an abstract for a journal article book review in which a summary is provided as part of a review. All of those require narrative and details but still succinct writing with an overview scope. You should be able to craft one or two paragraps of prose that summarizes the book's narrative arc. 4meter4 (talk) 15:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Nominator has not made any movement on this since the above discussion. It's time to close this for failing WP:DYKCOMPLETE.4meter4 (talk) 15:36, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have. I've just been struggling to do so as I havent written a book article before.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:21, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  I took a re-look and I think the summary is now sufficiently in-depth to pass WP:DYKCOMPLETE. I would have preferred a paragraph structure with smoother prose, but that is no reason to hold up a DYK review. All other DYK criteria check out. However, portions of both the Alt1 and Alt2 hook facts are not currently in the article. The quote "nowhere near finished" is not in the article, and there is no mention of a friendship between Evanier and Kirby. For this reason, only the original hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 16:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@4meter4: I made a few new hooks as those arent the best. Also since ALT0 is wrong I rephrased it. Also ALT2 is included now.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
OlifanofmrTennant Please add citations directly after each hook fact. Any sentence with a fact in a hook must have a citation to pass DYK review. In just rechecking Alt2, the sentence with the hook fact lacks a citation and the text that's in quotes in the hook is not in quotes in the article. Is this a quote? If it is it needs to be in quotes in the article's prose. If it's not a quote then it should not be in quotes within the hook sentence. I'm not going to even look at the other hooks until you have fixed this one and can assure me all the necessary citations are in place. Ping me when you are ready.4meter4 (talk) 17:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@4meter4: its there, its the gaurdian source. But reguardless I used the citation again higher in the paragraph.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@OlifanofmrTennant  In looking at the Alt2 hook fact, it is not a quote of Evanier directly but it is a quote of The Guardian. The text needs to attribute it to The Guardian in quotes in both the article and the hook, or its a problem with WP:Plagiarism. This needs to be fixed. We can't promote an article with plagiarism issues. Now that I've seen this, I'm going to have to go through all the sources and make sure there aren't other issues of non-attributed text or close paraphrasing. I had trusted the original reviewer had done this, but I'm going to have to re-review with a careful eye on any copyright violations. In the mean time, please put the attributions for this quote in the article. Also, I was asking earlier for you to confirm that all the citations were in place for the many alt hooks you proposed. I don't want to have to keep coming back here and asking again for more citations. Every hook fact must have a citation immediately following the sentence of the hook fact. This may mean we duplicate citations in ways that we may not do when not featuring an article at DYK. This is one of those hoops that DYK requires, even if it seems redundant.4meter4 (talk) 19:12, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  New reviewer needed. I'm not seeing any more close paraphrasing, but I'd like a second set of eyes on this just to make sure I didn't miss anything.4meter4 (talk) 22:32, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  I can't see any either. Let's roll.--Launchballer 09:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  @Launchballer, OlifanofmrTennant, 4meter4, and AirshipJungleman29: I'm having to reopening this, as it looks like the point made by Gatoclass above, that the hook mentions that Evanier "obtained" artworks from Kirby "while working for him" was not addressed, and that hook is not supported by the article. All I can see is "Evanier worked for Kirby and was a friend of his, giving him additional insight while writing the book", which isn't the same thing. On a more minor note, the second paragraph of the "Development" section is cited entirely to the book itself, which would be a WP:PRIMARY source. For a statement like "Kirby's family re-obtained the art following a public campaign to have them returned and legal threats from Kirby" I'd think a secondary source highly preferable. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 19:21, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  the issues above are still not addressed, this is the third time it's been mentioned now. The only change to the article since my issue was raised above, was to add a couple more cites, but the problem is thathte article does not say anything about him obtaining works from Kirby while working from him. Come on please, the objections need to be addressed directly. Given that this has already been marked as "rejected" twice above and issues still remain more than two months later, it may be getting close to time to archive this and move on.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:24, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  I cannot approve ALT4, as the article says "additional insight" and the hook says "lots of original art", and these are not the same thing. ALT5 checks out, although a) I just had to merge two sentences together to meet WP:DYKHFC and b) I just had to correct a spelling mistake in the hook. Let's roll.--Launchballer 11:46, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Per WP:DYKIMG, this should probably run without the image. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:59, 14 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
AirshipJungleman29 I'm usually the one whining about poor image quality, but I don't see any problems with this one. What is your objection? RoySmith (talk) 01:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
The bit about "try to avoid images that divert readers from the bolded article into a side article"—the hook is about the book, but we don't want everyone to see the picture and go to Kirby's article instead. That would be a waste of the image slot. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
OK, that makes perfect sense, thanks. RoySmith (talk) 18:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Noting here that I haven't promoted this hook because I still feel, as I did in this diff (quickly reverted), that the "Summary" section doesn't actually describe the contents of the book, but rather the contents of Jack Kirby, and that it in any case needs to be cited as it doesn't fall under WP:PLOTCITE. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:59, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
AirshipJungleman29 Given that its a non fiction book that is about Kirby I think that its fair. Also the book is cited in Kirbys article multiple times so that might explain some overlap. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 20:06, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  •   New, long, hook verified (though I'd trim the hook more). A couple concerns:
    • Copyright violation is an issue even in translation. Unless Elonet's text is in the public domain, the first two paragraphs of the Production section/second paragraph of Filming are much too close and should be rewritten.
    • Why is the article not titled Lampaansyöjät (film)? None of the sources seem to use that English name, nor do databases like IMDb. I suggest moving it to the Finnish title unless English sources actually use the translated version.
    • Smaller note, the article mentions a 2019 TV presentation without having introduced it.

@Voorts and TSventon: I cannot confirm in any sources that this was the first known skeleton. Maybe first "complete" can be investigated if sources support? I do see a source for "Peale eventually founded the first natural history museum in the United States". But I do not know about the reliability of the source (czasopisma) - that can be investigated for a hook idea, or you can introduce a different hook. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Voorts and Bruxton: I was trying to put the hook in my own words and overdid the paraphrasing. When Semonin says the skeleton was complete I think he meant almost complete so I have reworded the article and the hook. Peale's museum as "the first natural history museum in the United States" is arguable, but would need more work. This argued it was not.

TSventon (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. It is difficult to find the hook because it is not explicit in the article. I did find the two parts to the hook in The Peale Mastodon section so ALT1 works. Bruxton (talk) 14:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
The hook is explicit but unreferenced in the lead, I could add a reference to the Smithsonian article there if that made things clearer. In the body one of the sentences was not immediately followed by a reference, so I fixed that.
By the way, on the first museum, I have seen things like the first successful public museum of natural history, but that would need to be discussed in the article and is not particularly hooky. TSventon (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Interesting substantial article on four theatres (theaters?) and the life on their stages, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and a good illustration. I will approve the hook if you want, but beg you to consider that we had a similar one for the separate article on that fire, in 2010. I found interesting that three of the four buildings burnt down, which would also include that the name doesn't mean only one. Suggestions for the article (not needed for approval), and actually for any article: mark upright images "upright", have images right unless a face looks to the right, add an infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

    • @Buidhe: As Qin represented his country in the UNSC, he made the decision based on his country's political position. However, prior to 2011, China's vetoes in the UNSC were rare and only four times [10] were it used prior to the start of the 21st century. Since the mentioned vetoes were related to sending peacekeeping troops, it might be interesting as the users would look into the article to see why the peacekeeping resolutions were vetoed. However, if you any ideas for another hook in the article or if I should modify it in a certain phrasing, I am happy to consider that. - Toadboy123 (talk) 09:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC).Reply
      • Yes, I know how the UN works. Certainly the hook phrasing makes it sound like a coatrack. Frankly not all articles are suited for DYK and this one may not be. Peacekeeping is not inherently dull but UN resolutions can be, especially if there is no real information what the vote is really about. Furthermore, the article as it stands does not qualify due to sourcing. (t · c) buidhe 13:23, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
        • @Buidhe: Is there anything that I should do to improve the article such as adding more reliable sources or expanding the information regarding the reasons of the vetoed resolutions so that the article can be featured in DYK ?

  Much to whinge about here I'm afraid. As written, the biography section would deserve {{subsections}}, and much of its early paragraphs can feel more than a bit WP:Proseline at times and would deserve {{prose}}. None of the hook has an end-of-sentence citation, and given that WP:CLUMP says that "more than three [references] should generally be avoided", I'm not going through four.

Laura Veale

  • Source: Several, including: Harrogate Advertiser: "Hampsthwaite commemorates North Yorkshire’s first female doctor Laura Sobey Veale". Note: This fact has had to be carefully interpreted. It was initially expressed as "the first Yorkshire woman to become a doctor" on the brown plaque, pictured in the article and written by the eminent Harrogate historian Malcolm Neesam. He meant "Yorkshire-born". However it has since been interpreted to mean that she was the first female doctor to practise in Yorkshire, which would be incorrect. Edith Pechey was the first qualified woman doctor to practise in Yorkshire, but she was born in Essex, so to local understanding she was definitely not a "Yorkshire woman" (they are very parochially-minded here). Veale was born in Yorkshire.

  • Thank you for the review, Silver seren Re the "even more so than necessary", you'll find that some experienced editors are doing that for a good reason. For example, if you have a "first" in the article, that is going to be automatically questioned and double-checked, and rightly so. Therefore, it is worth finding as many different, independent sources as possible for that "first" and including them all in the article. There is also the fact that some sources may be accessible to some readers (e.g. readers with a subscription, readers in the UK, etc.) and some source may not be accessible to all (e.g. readers outside the UK or without subscription), so it's worth giving them a few alternative sources. A third reason is that various sources give different aspects to the same fact, and some sources also include extra facts which the editor chooses not to include in the article, but which are extremely interesting.

@JuanGLP, thank you, I prefer your hook so I have struck mine. Also, the reason for "unlikely" from Earwig is because the 22.5% similarity is coming from a quote in the "Career" section, properly enclosed in quotes and attributed via citation. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Thanks, --Habst (talk) 17:40, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

QPQ: Done.

Overall:   An interesting article on a little-known ancient instrument. The date of creation, length and references are correct (AGF on offline sources), and the qpq has been done. The article relies heavily on primary sources, but these are only quoted, not interpreted, so that's good. We have a staggering 49% earwigs score, but this is due to the copied fragment. Anyway, I think that you should mention who is the translator of these fragments, before I declare the article plagiarism free. The phrase about "Athenian banquets" is repeated, one of the two occurrences should be paraphrased. The hook is cited, but is rather long, I think it should be shortened and - above all - the language should be made more fluid. Regarding the "surviving ancient snippets", I understand what you mean, but it should be better explained for the reader: adding some context would help. Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 07:08, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Alessandro57: thanks for the review.

Alessandro57, Do you have any concerns regarding any of the DYK criteria, if so please be specific. The quoted passages are from works that were published almost a hundred years ago, they are referenced, and the translators mentioned. Is there anything else to address?

Alessandro57 can you clarify what kind of copyediting you're looking for. I'm guessing you're looking for a level of prose quality beyond what is requried by WP:DYKCRIT. In specific, see WP:DYKNOT, where it says Articles ... do not have to be of very high quality. If it fails some specific criteria, that needs to get fixed. If it's just that the prose could be better, that's not something to hold up an approval. RoySmith (talk) 14:05, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Images are all appropriately licensed and I can find no evidence of other plagiarism, copyvio or BLP issues.

Anyway, there's just one issue that I have – there's a Distractify source used in the article, which is considered unreliable; I feel like there could be a more reliable source out there that verifies the fact that he "repeatedly tells his partner that he is willing to marry if she signs a prenuptial agreement, to keep his assets if they separate".

  •   Article was created on the same day as nomination. Article meets adequate quality standards and contains enough prose for DYK, my only suggestions are for "the western end of the building" to be potentially reworded just due to similarity in the source, and for the double space in the 'History' section to be fixed. Very interesting hook! I took a look at the source and I noticed that it had mentioned "Moriori, Maori, or Pakeha" (meaning the missionaries failed to convert Indigenous or European New Zealanders) and I'm wondering if this, or the fact that this took place in New Zealand, would be worth mentioning in the hook as well.

The point of a hook is to be short and sweet, and leave just a little mystery, enticing the reader to click through to the article.

Overall:   Everything checks out, an interesting choice of word (from the cited pub;and I have no issue with it), but they've also used the term lavish in there. But can toning it down a bit for the gullibility of a wider audience be considered? Like, rewriting it using one of the more known synonyms instead, such as "luxurious"? Let me know your opinion.

  • I just want to point out that the linked source says "almost broke the internet", which is an important qualifier; other sources in the article such as [16] [17] say simply "broke the internet", so perhaps one of them should be used for this hook reference.

Image eligibility:

QPQ: None required.

Overall:   Earwigs show 53.4% possible, but it's a case of false positive as the matched texts are part of a quoted paragraph, so we're good. And it's a bad source to be added here in this nom (paid, and also doesn't fully align with the hook as is, as pointed above by another user). However, sources used in the article are better, while another one doesn't explicitly mention the hook, but 2 does. Another point to be noted here is the number of lines of the code. It varies by publication. Although from the picture provided, yes there are 17 total markdowns, but some of them are empty, so it comes down to 11 "actual" lines. But some sources I checked, even outside this article, do not mention the specific number of lines, and the ones that do, 2 of which are also sourced in the article, have different numbers (17). Also, the article had some copy editing issues, which I've fixed. By the way, you may consider improving the sourcing style on this one (as it's also a GA nominee). Such as interlinking the publications, or consider introducing journal or book citations as well. But for my money, DYK seems good to go, however, the current blurb needs to be modified to something like ALT0a ... that in 2016, the removal of a few lines of code briefly "broke the Internet"? X (talk) 04:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Xoak Thank you for the review! This is my first ever submission to DYK so I appreciate the thorough comments. I will go ahead and edit the blurb as suggested. Best, ~Liancetalk 16:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Liance:, That's great! By the way a few friendly notes for future noms, when an ALT blurb is proposed, you can simply just reply with your support for that blurb or oppose or express your opinion on it. No need to alter your ALT0 (which is the original hook), and notice how I added "a" beside ALT0, since it's pretty much the same fact with minor tweaks. But if the fact differs totally, then it'd be listed as ALT1, ALT2 and so forth. And if you remove anything from the original hook after the review is done, you should mention it for historical/future references (i.e., the removal of the image). Anyway, thank you for your creation and inviting you to contribute to more DYKs. Regards.

  •   New, long enough, wonderfully written, and interesting throughout; QPQ done. The source apparently verifies the hook (I used automatic translation on the Mongolian text), but I cannot determine the quality of the source, as the publisher is not identified -- if it self-published, as it looks, I have reservations about its usability anywhere in the article, and especially for sourcing the hook. Also, assuming the source is reliable: the hook is fun and all, but the article has much more interesting facts, which seem to be quoted to much more reliable sources -- how about something on his refusal to criticize Genghis? Dahn (talk) 18:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • Thanks for the review Dahn! The source may be self-published, but its author, Ishdorj, Ts., was a reputable Mongolian historian. Now, being a 20th century Mongolian historian means that you're not very prominent on Google, but you can still find evidence of his subject-matter expertise at links such as [19] [20] and [21]. He is also mentioned in a New York Times article and was the recipient of a medal for his contributions to scholarship. After finishing the article, I had actually found more details on his avoidance of censorship, and now we have a new paragraph! As for another hook, how about ALT1: ... that Shagdarjavin Natsagdorj's remarks at an academic conference led to a communist purge and contributed to the Sino-Soviet split? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:16, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
      • I am not doubting Ishdorj's qualifications, but the problem with self-published sources is that they are generally (or universally) below the RS threshold, regardless of who the author is; we generally cannot trust their content to have been edited by anyone, and we technically can't even tell it's an actual article by Ishdorj (it probably is, and as such written in a blog-ish manner, but still...). I won't insist that you remove it from the article, but I would suggest that it should not be used for the front-page hook. Therefore:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article properly expanded, no copy vio. Sources used appear reliable. I've done some minor copy edits. ALT0 is rather uninteresting and dull, ALT1 in the hook it is mentioned as "subscription library" and this term has been used in the lead as well, but with no citation although the fact is cited later on in the History section. But as DYK hook rules suggest, the terms used in the hook should be cited in the article somewhat as is. Currently, the cited description in the history section does not mention the word subscription, and the sources do not mention it directly, which is fine here as we can calibrate that easily from the stated info. But it'd be better if you made a mention of that word in that section as well. ALT2 is the most interesting of the bunch. However, it needs a bit of rewording. The source cited mention "due to concerns over Asbestos" but the hooks states directly "due to asbestos". This should be reworded. Moving to ALT3, it feels rather mundane. Ping me once you've made the adjustments. Regards. X (talk) 02:50, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • @Xoak: I've decided to lean into ALT2 and ALT3. Reworded ALT2 as you suggested, and clarified what I was going for with ALT3 (the interest part was that it was only added after it was closed). Half-considering adding an ALT4 about how the Modern building was the first such building to be added to the Register, but I'm banking mainly on ALT2, which I agree is the most interesting. I was also thinking of adding another hook about how the 1877 fire originated from Fox's American Theatre considering it was in DYK recently, but I can't find a source that clearly states the connection and I doubt it would be particularly interesting to anyone except Philadelphia architectural historians.

@TheSandDoctor: Yes, we always can. List your newer ALT hooks in bold in reply to this if you have more. The one you already provided let's name it ALT5.

However, the source mentions it as Pizza Hut’s most expensive pizza is ... a weighted blanket?, per DYK rules we'd need to add that part to the article somewhat as is. You could probably add to the partnership section: [...] "It was sarcastically dubbed as Pizza Hut's most expensive pizza."

  •   Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 01:48, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • Great work on the article! I verified the first two hooks through this article, which says:

      Later in that episode, there’s a great gag for film students: “I thought that was non-diegetic…”

      Oh, thank you. Thank you for getting that joke because, there are plenty of people on the production team I had to explain that too. (laughs) And then you get people who don’t understand the joke and they go, “Can we cut it?”

      I verified the third hook through this article, which says: "It isn’t a full continuity-chucking “reboot” of the Whoniverse – the events of An Unearthly Child in 1963 got a specific call-out ..." Cunard (talk) 01:48, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@LunaEclipse: sorry, I made a mistake. The source for ALT4 says that Goose "hadn't worked a lot with 3D", not that she never had worked with it. My mistake. I've fixed the article accordingly. Skyshiftertalk 23:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  •  New enough, long enough, and neutral with all reliable sources. The hook is directly cited. I assume good faith on the book reference. I prefer the first hook. A QPQ is needed. SL93 (talk) 18:53, 21 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@SL93: QPQ done. Re AGF, you could also access them by Wikipedia Library repositories such as Newspapers.com and NewspaperArchive.com. But Google News archive in itself is freely accessible and reliable. And yes, let's go with ALT0. Regards. X (talk) 06:43, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  •   Reviewing this, new article and no copyvio according to Earwig. No QPQ needed as this is first nom, the sentence also cited in the article. However I have one suggestion for the prep to maybe truncate it to just "held meetings in school halls" as the other part feels subjective and not stated outright in the source. Otherwise it's good to go for me. Nyanardsan (talk) 12:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  •   Article is neutral, free from copyvio, suitably referenced, and meets the length and newness criteria—moved to mainspace on 21 May, the same day as this nomination. The hooks are succinct, neutral, interesting, and reliably sourced (though I would recommend adding timestamps to the video refs). My pick would be ALT2, then ALT0; I find ALT1 interesting personally, but I'm not sure general audiences would as well. QPQ is done (albeit a bit brief).
