This page holds approved
nominations that are waiting to appear in the "
Did you know" section on the
Main Page. Following DYK approval, nominations are processed and moved into a
Prep area, and from there, prep sets are promoted to a queue, and then to the main page.
If some of the nominations are not showing up properly at the bottom of the page, these alternative pages can be used to view a subset of the most recent nominations.

Instructions for nominators
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
Backlogged?
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?
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.
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 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.
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].
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.

Comment: Trying my craziest DYK nomination ever! Have been working on all the inductees for this year, only just realized that it'd probably be an awesome mega-hook (there has been precedent for similar things in the past; see
Wikipedia:Did you know/Multiple Article Hook Hall of Fame). Note that two do not yet qualify (Van Sickle, Brumbaugh - why I haven't bolded yet), as I still need to 5x expand them, but I needed to make the nomination now so the oldest one (Raymond) would still be eligible. I also have a date request if this goes through: the hall of fame is inducting the mentioned sportspeople on
May 23 this year. I think it would be really neat if this could be scheduled for then. Thanks!
Thanks for offering to review – just note that Van Sickle and Brumbaugh are not yet ready – I'll make sure to 5x them within the next three days (nominated now so as to not exhaust 7-day eligibility of Raymond).

The phrase "10 hits, four RBIs, two hits and one home run" can not be right.
This infobox could host more highlights, MVPs and All-league or All-start honrs.
Per the Del. Sports HOF, Brumbaugh was a five-time minor league all-star and four-time all-star in Asia; however, the years aren't mentioned. We know three of the minor league all-star selections (1995, 1999, 2010) – he also was MVP in at least 1995 and 2010. As for the Asian leagues, it seems we know 2003 and 2004, but the other years are less certain. We also know a bunch of honors from HS/college. What do you suggest?

I'll leave it to the promoter to decide between the various tweaks. I would prefer the shortest just because of the overall length of the hook, but the promoter is free to make the final choice. I remain intrigued and await further detail on Cannon as time permits. Nothing is necessary now though, but keep in mind when this goes on the main page, it may be the most pageviews that any of these pages ever receives. You may want to put everything you can into it before the main page run to get feedback from all those eyeballs. Everything is in order for a DYK run. -

The 'imported over 8000 kg' bit could go into the article.

Re Earwig's comparison of Harrogate War Memorial: it only picks up proper names and a quotation beginning "one of the first British servicewomen...", which is properly signified as a quotation, and attributed in the article.

ALT1: ... that Harrogate War Memorial(pictured), by Ernest Prestwich, names 1163 casualties of the First and Second World Wars, of whom 300 have unknown graves, and the youngest was 15 years old? (source as ALT0 above).
I have removed the dodgy numbers from the article. The plaques were removed, rewritten and replaced in 1948, and who knows whether they have been corrected (or just misread) since then. The name-counts were probably all correct in their day. Harrogate Civic Society counted them last, and they had two people spending five years on the study of all the war dead mentioned, ending in 2023, so they have the best chance of being up to date and correct.

FWIW, They're two different things, but the "trolling" bit is mentioned only in the March 2016 FBI section. The personal notoriety part was mentioned by the sheriff in the post-shooting investigation.
The part in the article where this same information is put is this: "He convinced FBI investigators that he was simply "trolling", and that he was "not the type to actually do any of this stuff". Cited to the same source for the first half of the sentence, which is the relevant part.

Interesting life and work, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The hook works for me. The image is licensed and an excellent illustration not only of the person but also the period at a glance. I have a few points about the article that you may consider, irrelevant for DYK.
Her name. I would not call her Kimball until she is married.
I would - as you know - whenever a composition has an article, mention the composer only by last name without link, to avoid two links in a row, and to link the more specific thing. People who really don't know Rossini can find that in the
Stabat Mater article, - Stabat Mater as a standard Latin phrase like Magnificat not needing italics.
GSL - I would link to
Großes Sängerlexikon, - as written, with the two authors, it sounds as if two people had arrived at the same view independently. I strongly recommend to use
the actual link to page in the latest edition.
I have a hard time with the wording "They had one daughter together" - why not "They had a daughter"?
Second image: I'd find it better on the right side, making her "turn in" (the posture rather than the eyes), and use standard upright size.
I am not sure that "beautifully conducted" is the right term for "schön geführt" talking about voices, but am too unfamiliar with such technical terms in English to recommend something better.

Yes, I'm a native German speaker, but unfamiliar with the terms to describe voices in English. "geführt" suggests "in control" and an even production of lines without register breaks, but is there one word for it in English. I heard "gut geführt" more often than "schön geführt", btw. --

I was a good athlete [...] but it didn't allow me to enter the world's biggest races. Today, I have the opportunity to be on the starting line alongside an Olympic or world champion. I'm living exceptional moments that I could never have experienced as an individual."

Article is just barely long enough, but satisfies other requirements. I don't see any copyvio or outstanding issues (though I would recommend adding a second sentence to the lede). The hook checks out in its current state, but I think it's a bit excessively in length. How about something like "... that after failing to qualify for prestigious races, Mounir Akbache became a
rabbit?" I think you can make this a great quirky hook by playing on the rabbit line without actually explaining what that is. Makes people wanna click to learn more.

Source 1 states: "The number of sit-down strikes in 1936, 1937, and 1938 by months, with the number' of workers involved, is given in table 16."
Table 16 lists the same numbers of strikes given in source 2 below. It lists workers involved as follows:
1936: 87,817
1937: 398,117
1938: 28,749
Source 2 states: "In 1936 there were 48 so-called sit-down strikes.
In 1937 the number increased to 477, but by 1938 they decreased to
52. There were only 6 strikes during 1939 in which all or part of the
strikers remained at their workplaces for one or more days after
ceasing work. he number of workers idle in connection with these
6 strikes was 3,416, although the number participating in the sit-down
or stay-in feature is not known."
This sentence involves a very encyclopedic form of synthesis in that it adds numbers from two consecutive studies by the same source. Similar synthesis, but without inclusion of the latter number appears in Sidney Fine's book Sitdown, cited in the article.
QPQ not needed, expansion is recent and article is long enough. Hook is properly sourced. However, Earwig detected a 43.2% similarity. Before I pass this nom, I think it would be suitable to trim down some quotes, if possible.

I've reviewed the
Earwig similarity report, which highlights passages that are either in quotes or comprise part of citations (including the journal name and another cited article). The longest passage is the summary of the Matignon Agreement, a quotation I don't think I can improve upon. I've revised the article to reduce the amount of material directly quoted from Torigian and from Adamic, but keep Adamic's longer definition and Torigian's POV that the mid-1930s strikes were a distinct phase of using the tactic. Let me know whether you think
these changes sufficiently reduce the reliance of direct quotations.--

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.

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.

They might mistakenly assume the theatre wasn't around for very long based on that short blurb. As for the image issue, if you look at the original much larger sketch, you'll see that the building is tilted, but I am not sure if this is because the artist drew it that way or because the artwork was creased/damaged.

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

That's fair. The wording may read awkwardly to some people even if it is technically a necessary redundancy.

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 @

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.

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.

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

Thanks for the review. For what it's worth, I initially didn't really think the tugboat thing was that interesting (it has to do more with people protesting Julia Rice, who just so happened to live in the house). I might consider a hook about it later, though.

The article is new enough, long enough, and free from close paraphrasing. The hook is interesting, cited inline, and verified. The source is Indonesian, but Google Translate checks out on the fact. The hook probably meets BLP as it's not undue focus since it focuses more on the four mayors aspect.

@
AryKun: Article is new enough (per
WP:DYK5X) and long enough. The article is sourced adequately and reliably, neutral, and there isn't any plagiarism. I prefer ALT1, as it's a little more interesting and the wording in ALT0 is a little unclear. I've made an alternative hook for ALT1 specifying that Colombia is their native country (just for complete clarity).
ALT1a: ... that Oophaga solanensis frogs can be bought for $3 in their native Colombia and sold for up to $1,000 overseas?
Looks ready. This is my first DYK review, so I'd love a second opinion. Thanks,

Here's your second opinion. Long enough, new enough. No maintenance templates found, no neutrality issues found, Earwig is quiet. QPQ done. Both hooks would require an end-of-sentence citation. (Side note: Please consider reviewing oldest first per
WP:DYKRI.)--Launchballer 22:10, 26 April 2024 (UTC)reply

Overall: I can't read Czech, so accepted that source in good faith. ALT1 is definitely the more interesting of the two. Article looks good and pic is a nice addition.

Source: "In a light-hearted photograph taken with The Hill’s White House correspondent Amie Parnes, Vice President Joe Biden can be seen with his hands high on the reporter’s waist — and Parnes with her hands firmly on top of Biden’s. The photo was lifted off Parnes' Facebook page, and some outlets questioned whether Parnes was trying to block Biden’s hands from moving any further."

Comment: Two potential hooks. I thought both were interesting but I understand that the second might violate
WP:DYKHOOKBLP. Haven't done one of these in a while so forgive me if I need to adjust some of the formatting.
Article new and long enough notwithstanding the seven month draft period (happens). QPQ not needed as this is nominator's first DYK - welcome, by the way. Original hook is more interesting, cited inline and confirmed in cited source(s), and agree about the BLP issues with ALT1. Copyvio check only flagged direct quotes, so no issues. Good to go.

Article new and long enough with no copyvio detected (Earwig only flags a direct quote). QPQ is completed. Hook fact is inline (lead section), and verified by source (audio transcript). Good to go.

I personally think the first hook is great. It certainly got my attention. The article itself is long, was moved to the mainspace just today, is based on reliable sources, and looks fully complete. My only potential concern is that the hook doesn't explicitly state that it was struck down in court, but I think that can probably be inferred as is.

Though Earwig found likely copyvio, it's basing that off of a direct quote from the contents of the proposal, an open and free document that is properly attributed to, so it shouldn't be a violation. I think this is all in order. Still, felt it should be mentioned in case the author wants to paraphrase the contents of the proposal or if an administrator takes issue with it.
Pac-Man PHD (
talk) 08:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Yeah as the author I generally don't think quoting the direct ballot title of the proposal is a problem (and imo paraphrasing would be less informative to our readers than seeing what voters saw).

Nominated soon enough after GA. Meets length and citation requirements. Hook is absolutely interesting and the right length. The content of the hook is referenced in the article and a citation is appended immediately after where it appears. The image appears to come from a Nazi German government source, which means it's almost certainly in the public domain. Only concern is with the image's visibility at a smaller scale; going to just leave that up to promoter discretion. QPQ done (a quick-fail of novice nomination). Overall great work! ~

AGF on offline book source. Article expansion is sufficient and recent, QPQ done. No copyvio is detected, Earwig flags a bibliography item and a direct quote only. Hook is good. To DYKA you go.

New enough, long enough, and properly sourced. No QPQ needed. Earwig found no problematic copied wording. Good-enough hook, but one must synthesize a couple pieces of information in the article to obtain it: the "largest township" part is at the end of the town section, dated to the early 19th century, while the "deserted" part is at the end of the "clearance" section. In fact both facts are adjacent in the "Maverick Guide to Scotland" source, with much tighter dating (largest in 1815; cleared between 1814 and 1818) and to avoid problems with
WP:SYN the article would benefit from making them adjacent somewhere within it, footnoted to that source. Also, "deserted" is maybe a euphemism for what happened. —

Thanks
David. What if the sentence in the Town section said "Before the clearance, it was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver"? That would would be consistent with the Maverick Guide guide source and not change up the current before-during-after structure. I could also change the sentence in the Clearance section to say "completely deserted by 1818" to avoid any ambiguity.
I think "deserted" is, from a NPOV, the end result of what happened, it describes what's left. You could say "forcibly depopulated" or something but I think "deserted" is clear enough and used in the sources. --
D'n'B-t -- 18:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)reply
To me, "deserted" is an accurate and neutral description of the state of the place now, but not of the process by which it reached that state. How about
ALT1 ... that before its inhabitants were evicted, Rosal was the largest of 49 townships in
Strathnaver?
but that would require a new reviewer as I can't both propose hooks and approve them. —
David Eppstein (

I'd be happy with that ALT1, (although with the link just saying "Rosal" for preference). --
