Nominated too late and without a hook; closing as unsuccessful

Meat and Livestock Australia

This article highlights factual information on the association and provides sufficient information for interested readers.

Created/expanded by Umbrella.Won (talk). Self-nominated at 07:55, 16 November 2020 (UTC).

  • Unfortunately, the article does not pass DYK's newness requirement. For new articles, the submission must be created within the past seven days. In this case, the article was started on October 29 but was not submitted until November 16 -- a span of 18 days. For expanded articles, it doesn't work either, since the article was already at 32,856 bytes on October 30 and has not undergone a five-fold expansion in the past seven days. Finally, no hook was proposed so that's an issue too. I know that this may seem technical, but these are the rule that govern the DYK process. Next time, just make sure to make a submission within the prescribed time period. Cheers, Cbl62 (talk) 09:00, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
@Umbrella.Won: I see that you are new to Wikipedia, and we don't want you to be discouraged by this first experience at DYK. You may want to read over Wikipedia:Did you know and Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines to get an idea of the procedures. You can also ask questions about the process, including potentially appealing the rejection of this submission based on your status as a new editor, at Wikipedia talk:Did you know.

@Cbl62: Hi, apologies for the wrong timing of my submission, I am currently editing this article as part of an educational assignment in a university course I am undertaking. I was informed about the 'did you know' project after I had made a vast majority of my contribution to the article. Sorry for not including a hook, source code editing can confuse me sometimes! Thank you for clearing up some important points, I will be sure to implement them in my future contributions to Wikipedia!
