  •  Comment:: the translation from French is my own. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 09:38, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
  • nice work by Hog Farm. Passed GA on the 25th, long enough, well sourced, no copyvio...but the hook isnt good enough, as trans isnt in the text. Maybe something re "used in 1861, during the American Civil War, as a gunboat on the White River to resist Union advances?" Ceoil (talk) 22:11, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Is there some rule regarding translations of text in an article? This is my first DYK of this type so I didn't know. If you see the associated wikidictionaries for the terms grosse tête, they match up with my translation. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 12:06, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Yeah, it think its probably fine. I prefer my ALT though! Ceoil (talk) 14:09, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
  • I encourage you to submit another DYK, possibly with a special date to avoid them being too close to each other such as on June 16, the anniversary of her sinking. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 19:27, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
L::What A._C._Santacruz?? Im not really following you (as in its the articles not the hooks that get main page), but hopeful this will pass. Ceoil (talk) 19:52, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Ceoil I was saying I like your ALT as well, and that since only one hook per nomination gets approved I suggested for you to make a new DYKN with your hook (since we're still in the 7 days unless I counted wrong (dont have my dykcheck w me rn)) so that both can hopefully end up on the DYK section of the main page at some point. I suggested to submit the second dykn on this article asking for a special date so its not denied due to a similar dykn being approved soon before. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 22:00, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Oh jesus, you are not getting it. An article can only have one main page appearance, with one hook agreed here. Ceoil (talk) 22:03, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Fair enough. In that case if I have to choose between either hook I like mine more. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 22:25, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
That's fine, yours is good enough, I'm happy here, its a nice article. I'll have another look through in a bit and close this out. Ceoil (talk) 10:36, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
, though to reiterate concerns that the hook is as dull as dishwater. Ceoil (talk) 23:35, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
As the primary author of this article, I have to admit that the whole article is dull as a dishwasher. Hog Farm Talk 23:44, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Naa, the article is fine, but DYK...that some ship somewhere is named "big head"?? No. tf. Ceoil (talk) 00:00, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
