Hi, we are within six weeks of Christmas, so I think we can start collecting special occasion hooks. I noticed Hallelujah (Carrie Underwood song), if you want to nominate it. If not, I could but this is not close to my typical subject matter (It does need a little expansion to be eligible which shouldn't be too difficult.) MB 22:09, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
I am pulling my hair out. Trying to work through a bunch of activists that were involved in the poll tax movement. One of them is clearly notable, but I'm having trouble pinning down her dates. [1], [2], [3], [4]. Her husband owned a furniture business in Miami [5] and she was very involved with the National Council of Jewish Women. I know she was still living in Miami in 1980, but after that? [6] Wondering if you have any leads on sources that could help. SusunW ( talk) 23:33, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

I would like to ask you to re-open Template:Did you know nominations/Three Warfares. I was not active on Wikipedia for last 4 days and this was my first DYK so I was not aware that it could be rejected.

Hi Yoninah, I was wondering what to do about my DYK nomination Template:Did you know nominations/Subtle is the Lord. I was going to take a break from Wiki for a while and decided to withdraw my nominations in order to avoid wasting anyone's time. I wanted to resubmit this after improving to GA status so that, hopefully, there would be something more catchy to say about it. But now I am not sure if I can create a second nomination, even though it really doesn't say it's against the rules anywhere, it also doesn't give the option. I was wondering if you happen to know what I could do or what the rules on that might be. Thanks! Footlessmouse ( talk) 20:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Saw the COI tag you posted on Ruth Williams. What should I do to help resolve the issue? I have references for all the sources.

Hi, Yoninah I found that your DYK icon list clashed with your Babel infobox on your user-page. So I changed the top parameter from 70 to 10. See the changes made here. Hope you did not mind the change. — Amkgp 💬 10:36, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello User:Yoninah, you've removed the date of birth of Barbara L. Kelly, an article I have started, because you think that every unsourced information must be deleted. While I understand this approach in principle, it is highly exaggerated to do it here. First of all, I explained in the discussion about the relevant DYK nomination that I received the birth-date from the subject of the article directly. I did not invent it. Secondly, take an arbitrary look around Wikipedia biographies, and you will notice that a very large number, if not the majority, have unsourced dates of birth. If the (bad) overall quality of an article suggests that the information provided should be doubted, then I would understand your action. In this case, you can just trust an experienced WP editor and not be overly critical when there is absolutely no reason. Give it a try and don't be unnecessarily critical. Please.
Further, I took the liberty of looking at a few articles YOU created, and immediately came across a number of articles with unsourced dates of birth. I only mention selectively Nathan Adadi, Ben Zion Abba Shaul, Chaim Yehuda Leib Auerbach, Nota Schiller, Eliezer Berland, ... It seems like you are expecting standards from others that you don't apply to yourself. Therefore, I kindly ask you to revert the deletion of the date of birth in this article or not to intervene further when I do it. Thanks. – Aklein62 ( talk) 20:28, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Yoninah. I recently started an article on writer and sociological researcher Sara Bullard. She is the founding director of Teaching Tolerance (which likely independently meets WP:GNG) and authored 2 widely reviewed books. Not sure if there is a hook here or not but thought there may be DYK potential...no worries if not! TJMSmith ( talk) 16:44, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
Your comment on DYK is in the middle of one by Gatoclass, - I can't reply there until fixed. Not sure I understand the question. I expect a Google Doodle (they had one for "only" 145 years, the 17th), so I expect people to be aware. Of course each hook I write will mention Beethoven, - my question was if more than one hook per editor might be allowed on such a special occasion. It seems no question anymore, with two sets. Put one in the last on the 16th, and one each in the two on the 17th, and all could be set without exception. I am sorry I even asked. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:25, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

I see you've changed "user group" to "users' group" in the article, but you haven't updated the DYK hook to match.

I support the barnstar! However, can you please take another look at prep 3.

So we now have a week with the new 400 / hour threshold, and I'm thinking that 500 / hour would have been better. You supported the 500 / hour limit and I think the consensus was there to change to either 400 or 500. At the 400 / hour level, a hook can qualify with only 4,800 views (lower than the old system) when a queue runs for 12 hours. Do you think it would be ok for me to just go ahead and change to 500? Or should I just let December play out and then present it for further discussion at the Talk page? Cbl62 ( talk) 17:40, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I don't think I can propose a DYK at the DYK page as an IP. But I see you just reviewed one on another basketball player. Perhaps this one will interest you.
As this new article indicates, Bryan Cohen was the only player in league history to win the Patriot League Defensive Player of Year award three times.
Alternately, the article also says he was the seventh player in any NCAA Division I conference to win a defensive MVP award three times.

Hi Yoninah, regarding your note about Template:Did you know nominations/A Little Lower Than the Angels (novel), one of the aims of the BYU accounts seems to have been to have BYU, its staff and alumni—including living people and their work—featured on the main page via DYK, which amounts to paid advocacy. (Having said that, personally I have no objection to the way the article about that novel is written.)
I've been looking at this issue for the last couple of weeks and have wondered why you promoted so many of their articles. I see now that you believed it was just regular WiR work, and in fairness to the BYU accounts, perhaps they thought the same. Please see the COIN discussion for more information. It seems that there's a lack of clarity about WiR around the edges, and it can easily blur into paid editing/advocacy. Best wishes, SarahSV (talk) 22:18, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

For your work helping this pass while I was a little bit preoccupied both receiving and administering such an injection... for a reason related to the hook.

HEllo There! I have seen your massive work towards the contribution of knowledge providing. There are, however, many things that can be made.
I cannot share the source here, because it mentions her RL identity. However, I emailed the link and info to a member of Wikimedia oversight before posting here. The source that announced her death is dated February 7, 2021. It says she became ill on February 3, and died on the February 6 Jewish sabbath of
Shabbos. No other details were given. In some ways, it seems kind of bittersweet that she died on the Jewish sabbath. That's all I know.
