Created by Therealscorp1an (talk). Self-nominated at 00:19, 22 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Greco-Australian dialect; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

The article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination. The hook is interesting, but it lacks a direct reference since it's only explicitly mentioned in the lede and is only implicitly stated in the rest of the article. I didn't find any close paraphrasing. The nominator does not appear to have any prior nominations so a QPQ is not required. The nomination can proceed once the sourcing issue is sorted out.

@Narutolovehinata5: How does this reference look? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 07:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC): https://greekreporter.com/2016/08/19/to-booko-greek-australian-dictionary-of-the-greekish-dialect/

It should be added to the article. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: It is.. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 08:52, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I mean the sentence in question needs a footnote. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:58, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: Do you mean in the lead sentence where it is written? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 07:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:58, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: Okay, I have added it, although, by my understanding, leads do not typically need references. Anyhow, would it be ready for DYK now? I submitted this quite a while ago, and looking back now, I think the ALT1 is a bit better than the first option now. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 08:01, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

The article's fine now but I'm still thinking about what hook to recommend. While I can see the interest in ALT1, I do find ALT0 to be the more surprising hook. I'll have to think this over for a bit. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:28, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

After giving this some thought, I will leave it to the promoter to choose between ALT0 or ALT1. Regardless of hook I would suggest delinking all the other blue links as the other links don't seem to be needed for extra context and we'd want to promote viewership of the main subject.
