This page transcludes a subset of the nominations found on the page of all the approved nominations for the "Did you know" section of the Main Page. It only transcludes the nominations filed under dates of the second-most recent week. The page is intended to allow editors to easily review recent nominations that may not be displaying correctly on the complete page of approved nominations if that page's contents are causing the page to hit the post-expand include size limit.

  •  . Alrighty then, with the caveat it was a 5x expansion, 1070 to 5567 characters but nominated eight days (April 18) from beginning of expansion (April 10). Open to second opinion and discussion on this question, though Second opinion Oks an IAR for timeliness. Good to go with original hook. Montanabw(talk) 14:25, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Montanabw: My apologies. I (incorrectly) thought the deadline to nominate started once you finished expansion. Thanks for understanding. -Riley1012 (talk) 15:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's a little bit of a gray area, but in terms of new articles, it's when it moves from draft space. Trickier on a 5x expansion, not sure if the guidelines are exactly a monument to clarity. My suggestion in he future is to copypaste into your sandbox, expand, and then move it over in one fell swoop. Will give you more time. Montanabw(talk) 16:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Note to all: WP:DYKNEW specifically state, The seven-day limit can be extended for a day or two upon request. It's not an IAR situation, it's built in to the fabric of DYK. For expansions, the advice is solid: the clock starts running as soon as the initial expansion edit is made, and 5x is difficult enough. Sometimes the full expansion is so large (8x, 10x) that a later date than the first expansion edit can be chosen and still achieve a fivefold jump in size. If you're not quite at 5x but are sure you can get there soon, nominate after seven (or eight) days and then finish your work. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:06, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Comment. I'm not sure being a short lived movie theatre is all that interesting or hooky. Here are a few alt hooks that I think are better. I also added a pic. @ Sammi Brie can ypu take a look at these please?4meter4 (talk) 12:56, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment 4meter4 I was amused by "the very best people" in Alt0. I had something like Alt2 in mind in case an alt was needed. Alt1 could possibly be shorter, hopefully I got the legal jargon right. The picture is slightly skew, it would be nice to rotate it if it went to main page. TSventon (talk) 13:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @4meter4, I was just giving my opinion, I am happy for Sammi Brie to choose whatever she likes. On the larger picture, the black border at the top slopes, which suggests that the scan could be skew, but damage could also be involved. TSventon (talk) 13:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • It probably is a skew issue, probably for paper damage, which might be fixable especially for this crop. The image is acceptable in license. New ALT1 is fine (AGF). ALT2 is fine and checks out to source. I don't like the wording on ALT1 with "Pennsylvania" twice. 4meter4, I had to make a lot of small copy tweaks to the large addition that was made; you should read MOS:DATECOMMA. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Sammi Brie Thank you for the copy edit. I appreciate your help. As for the wording... this isn't a case of improper word redundancy. There isn't a way to remove the word Pennsylvania as the proper names of both these organizations include that word. The University of Pennsylvania is the University of Pennsylvania, and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania is the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. If we remove the word Pennsylvania from the university it could be any university rather than the well know Ivy League school. Likewise, if we remove it from the court, readers would likely assume it was the national Supreme Court and not a state Supreme Court. I don't see any way of rewording this without it ending up in Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors and loosing 'hookiness' for lack of a better word.4meter4 (talk) 18:12, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I agree—it's redundant and looks off but is needed to avoid obvious confusion. It's kind of why, if I were a promoter, I would skip it. But I want the promoter to choose the hook. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:25, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's fair. The wording may read awkwardly to some people even if it is technically a necessary redundancy. I personally would pick it anyway because I believe it is the most interesting fact (to me anyway) among the hook choices. I guess it depends on whether one prefers style or substance (not that the other hooks are lacking substantive value).4meter4 (talk) 18:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   Looks good. Nice work @Launchballer:. Only question: if there is a branch still open (article makes it seem like Greater Manchester branch is open, only West Disbury closed), shouldn't the article say "Greens is a restaurant" rather than "Greens was a restaurant"? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'd be inclined to say no, on the grounds that the West Didsbury branch is the one with virtually all of the coverage, and that's the one I've written about. I've amended the article to that effect.--Launchballer 06:50, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I agree that it makes sense that the West Didsbury Greens is the subject. Presumably a new team was recruited for Sale, so the owners have a less hands on role. I think it would be useful to add something like "the Sale restaurant is still open as of 2024". TSventon (talk) 11:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I worry that such a statement would fall foul of WP:As of, but I have reworded it to the effect of 'the Sale restaurant outlived the Didsbury restaurant'.--Launchballer 11:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Not a review, and I review oldest first so would not get to this any time soon (but would not object to any other editor reviewing this in the interim); if ALT2's "penciled, inked, lettered, and colored by Jim Steranko, making it" somehow manages to survive WP:DYKTRIM, none of "penciled, inked, lettered, and colored" should be linked per WP:SEAOFBLUE.--Launchballer 18:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • I'm guessing the first hook is meant to say "dispute between himself and Stan Lee"? PanagiotisZois (talk) 12:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Will perform the review. Have a mild interest in the article, and just found out Jim Steranko did concept art for Coppola's Dracula; what a nice coincidence. Anyway
    • The article is new enough, having been created only about 8 days ago, which is when this nomination took place. It also has the appropriate length, being very in-depth, and well-sourced; most sources are offline from books, but I'm assuming good faith, especially given the nominator's track record. It is very much presentable, and has three images; one is the writer-artist and is CC, while the other two are the cover of the last issue of this story and an example of Steranko's visual style, which is brought up in the article itself, making them both appropriate.
    •   On hold All of the hooks are present in the article itself and properly cited. Finding the best one is somewhat tricky, as there's what the nominator finds most interesting, what I find most interesting, and what will help the article achieve the most views. Hook #3 is mildly interesting as you have the primacy effect, but I don't think it will hook many people in, so it's the other two. Either one could work, but I'm leaning more with Hook #1, mostly because it also references Stan Lee, which is a name that will attract views. The mention of a "dispute" between them is also kind of juicy. Admittedly, I found the full context behind their "dispute" kind of boring (lol), but at least the hook did its job. Unless @Morgan695: has a different hook to suggest, the only thing remaining is the QPQ. PanagiotisZois (talk) 23:19, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   Everything checks out, but I don't think just the fact that she directed, wrote and acted in a leading role is interesting. What would be more interesting, in my view, is saying that it was her first time doing any of these things (at least from what the article says — "Chuk also served as the film's director, marking her directorial, scriptwriting, and acting debut in a feature film.") I believe this could be added to the hook to make it more interesting. Skyshiftertalk 21:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Note to both Soman and BeanieFan11: template pages should not be moved even if they don't use the exact name of the article. There are fields that would need to be fixed beyond the hook article name, such as in the DYK header template, the DYK nom pages template (last field only if the article is moved but this template is not), and the first field in DYKmake. By moving this, you effectively orphaned it as far as the bot is concerned, which is why this hadn't been moved to the Approved page though it was approved four days ago. I'll be fixing the Nominations page next, so the bot can figure out that this needs moving, which it can't do with redirected template pages. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure ALT1 works however as the source only says that it is Arnold's only monument on American soil whereas the hook seems to apply to all American traitors. I also thought of another potential hook that might be decent: ... that a boot is the only monument in the United States to traitor Benedict Arnold because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"? That would require another reviewer, though. Let me know what you think; but ALT0 is good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  A new article that is barely long enough. The hook is interesting so is the galaxy's shape. QPQ unrequired and there are no copyright issues with the online sources. However, there are sourcing issues. The lead includes multiple statements that are not present in the body of the article or that the source that is supposed to cite them doesn't mention them.

  • It has an elongated and flattened shape, with a maximum diameter that extends for approximately 2,700 light years.
  • The new stars are distributed in about ten groups and have a mass corresponding to about one million solar masses.
  • The starburst is believed to have begun approximately one million years ago following the galaxies' encounter with a filament of intergalactic gas.

After that, the following statements lack an inline source:

  • "It has also been informally called the Rocket Galaxy or the Firework Galaxy due to its "trail" structure and brightness at the head."
  • "The Skyrocket Galaxy was discovered in 2004 using the Hubble Space Telescope, and was further observed in February and July of 2015 with the Wide Field Camera 3. Further research is ongoing by the European Space Agency."

Additionally, and not part of the DYK review, the article should probably be called Kiso 5639 instead since "Skyrocket Galaxy" is just a nickname and the present sources prefer the former, including NASA. (CC) Tbhotch™ 07:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   This review is for the original hook. Created on April 19th, 4199 characters of prose. Earwig shows no plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Issues with sourcing of hook, neutrality in one section, and a factual issue with who made the terrcotta. Found5dollar (talk) 19:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Found5dollar: Thank you for the review. I edited the section about the imposter which now reads " The theater hired a doorman who said he was oscar award winning actor and boxer Victor McLaglen, but he was an imposter. Victor McLaglen exposed the man as a fraud and revealed that the man was actually his brother Leopold McLaglen". Changed the terra-cotta bit, the actual source language is "a great deal of the design credit must be given to the terra-cotta supply company in Chicago." So my error was in thinking it was a company rather than a generic random supply company- I fixed it. Regarding the hook citation it is correct and the information can be found in the first paragraph of the source. Lightburst (talk) 23:01, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Lightburst: the article now seems neural to me and the factual issue was corrected. Unfortunatly that cite calls it a "woman with butterfly wings" not a "butterfly." I'd suggest either changing the source or changing from claiming it is a butterfly to "a woman with butterfly wings." --Found5dollar (talk) 21:37, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Found5dollar: Seems like we are in WP:BLUE territory. The theater is called butterfly, according to most sources the facade is adorned with a butterfly. It is either a woman with butterfly wings or a butterfly with a woman's body but still a butterfly. I backed it up by adding a Rankin citation to end of sentence. "terra cotta butterfly for the facade, delineated in 1,000 light bulbs and spanning some 27 feet from wingtip to wingtip" Lightburst (talk) 21:55, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

The sharp upper boundary of the clouds suggests that they consist of condensed nitrogen rather than involatile solids like the haze. (p. 873)

I added a single citation needed request to one sentence - I ask the nom to comment here on whether it has been addressed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Reference added! And yes, it was not massively expanded, however I am working on more sections in the conservation section today. Thank you for the comments. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 22:55, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   Article is new enough and long enough, it is neutral and well sourced. Earwig picks up a bit of a quote, but otherwise no close phrasing, so all OK. QPQ is done. Hook is interesting, but I couldn't see a reference to the Singles Chart in the source - could you clariy the chart part of the hook? Thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 16:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

My mistake, I kept rewording the hook. Try [7].--Launchballer 18:15, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Launchballer - hook is good (& citation archived here), all OK Lajmmoore (talk) 09:13, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • I will gladly review this! WatkynBassett (talk) 17:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • The article was expanded and nominated today (21 April 2024).
    • The article has been expanded more than fivefold (more like 20x).
    • The article is well sourced. I did one spot check and the reference checked out.
    • The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone.
    • Earwig did not pick up anything.
    • QPQ provided.
    • The hook has the right length and is interesting. The part of the hook on him being hired and the quote itself is well sourced. However, I struggle a bit with the part on him being "a critic of the spoils system". I think you rely here on Smith 1981 (pp. 82–83). I see that he criticized particulars of the spoils system there. But whether this elevates him to an outright critic of the system I am unsure. Maybe a weaker statement like "[...] who had criticized the political patronage system earlier [...]" would be more reflective of the source? What do you think?
    • Thank you for your great work Generalissima! I will approve this nomination if this one quibble is addressed. WatkynBassett (talk) 18:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @WatkynBassett: Fair point! Would something along the lines of "... that after criticizing the political patronage system, John Silva Meehan was hired as Librarian of Congress through "purely an act of political patronage"?" work? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 19:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  •   Article is new enough, well sourced, and long enough. I don't see any outstanding concerns as far as presentability. QPQ checks out. I'm assuming good faith on the hook, as I do not speak Lithuanian! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:31, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
