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.

@
Juxlos,
Dahn, and
AirshipJungleman29: sorry for last minute pull, I checked this set earlier today but only just had access to a computer to edit... anyway, the issue is there seems to be a chronological issue with this hook, based on what's in the article. The hook begins with "that during a period of religious tensions...", with a link to Maluku sectarian conflict, which is described as being from 1999 to 2002, but then it says he was "selected as the mayor of Ambon, Indonesia, to placate local Christians", something which took place in 1996. So it can't have been during the Maluku conflict. The article goes on to say that this was during his tenure. If there was already tension in 1996, then we probably need to spell that out in the article to use it in the hook and also not link to a specific conflict that took place later. Cheers —

Considered to be the first, sounds unsure but does reflect the uncertainty in the Time magazine source. Is there a possible hook that doesn't include "first"?
Comment only (not a review): cumbersome hook, the part "filled various roles" is pointless and superfluous to the more-than-notable statement preceding it. Just simplify the hook:
Overall: Hook is interesting and meets criteria. Article is new enough and long enough. Picture is free use and used within article. Detected no plagiarism, but when spot-checking citations I was unable to verify the statement "They had 5 children" from
this source which only mentions there were seven family members without specifying if these were children, or aunts, uncles, etc. Only three children are named within the source. I also struck the original hook based on above comments.

@
Crisco 1492: Thank you for the review. I have copyedited ALT1 per your suggestion as that is a good idea/better grammar. I respectfully disagree with relation to the length, though. I just added up the characters of the quotes and count only around 517 characters out of an article the DYKcheck tool says is over 2600 characters in length. Given that the DYK criterion for length is
only 1500 characters, taking all of the quotes away would still leave us with around 2000-2100 characters in length, more than enough to qualify. The production section has no quotes, the premise has 2 but ultimately equating to a sentence, release has no quotes, and it is almost impossible to have a "critical reception" section without any quotes since that section is about what critics have written; take for example
Shake It Off#Critical reception or
Hackney Diamonds#Critical reception etc. --
TheSandDoctorTalk 18:23, 8 June 2024 (UTC)reply
The critical reception section is fine. However, the third paragraph of #Premise is 60% quotations. The lengthy quotation in the lede could also be paraphrased to better present the premise; that would help improve neutrality as well. —

Sacred Harp sing ["directed" in source] this is equivalent to "conducting"). This is roughly verifiable from the summary preview of the subscription-required online source. Hook is interesting. Could probably do an alternate about the
nominative determinism, but for non-April Fools, I don't think it'd be any more interesting than ALT0 which is excellent. I put up ALT0a just so the promoter can see them side-by-side, I think the slight repetition of phrasing in ALT0 (while less concise) makes for a better hook. All good! –

Comment I'm an IP user so I think I can't approve the overall DYK, but just a heads up that I'm a Korean speaker and I verified that both hook 1 and ALT1 are supported by the sources given. I'll give a slight comment that I'd prefer ALT1 be worded as "... that Ryu Sung-hyun(pictured) will become the first
Korea National Sport University student athlete to compete at two
Olympic Games?" Think the meaning of this is slightly clearer and it's slightly more concise. I prefer the main hook to ALT1 though; think it's more interesting.

Thanks for your input. I have changed the wording on ALT1. I was trying to figure out how to emphasize that he is competing in two Olympics while enrolled in the school- there are multiple alumni who have competed in multiple Olympics. -

Comment: hooks that treat the future as definite are problematic. I'm assuming Ryu Sung-hyun has qualified for the Olympics, but even athletes on their country's Olympic teams sometimes don't end up competing due to injury, illness, accident, or some other complication, so "will" is a problem (see
WP:CRYSTAL). Perhaps "is set to become" could be used (though, like the IP user, I prefer the original hook):
Note that if you want the Olympics in the original hook, you can do so simply by adding "Olympian" before his name. —

Overall: The article is well-written, well-sourced, and well-organised. Both English-language and Korean-language sources were checked for close paraphrasing; no issues arose. Both hooks are interesting and verified, but I strongly favour the initial hook over ALT1.

New article of good length. Sources look OK and everything looks neutral. Hooks are cited and interesting. ALT2 stretches it a little since the building is not named after a current owner, but the others are good. The pictures are nice-looking, free photos taken by the nominator, good job there. QPQ is done. I see two minor problems that need to be addressed. The Milwaukee County Park System involvement is mentioned in the lead but not in the article body, and is unsourced. The infobox says the park was established in 1997, but this is also unsourced and not mentioned anywhere else (and it overwrites the "opened" parameter - what is the difference here?). Fix those issues and I think it's ready to go.

Following the links the article about the man himself, there's probably a way to describe at least one aspect of what earned him coverage in reliable sources. Either his fiction, his personal life, or both.

reply here 03:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)reply
That's ok,
Piotrus. I think it's hard to come up with this because the article doesn't really summarize the contents of the book. The article summarizes several reviews of the book, but we don't have the context of what they're reviewing.
Not to create too much more work, but would it be possible to get a short summary of the book in the contents section? It could be similar to the main
Jerzy Kosinski article, plus even one sentence about the viewpoint/thesis of the author. If that's too much of a pain, plan B would be to scrape something from the review section. I can do my best to come up with something, but it would definitely be easier with more about the contents of the book.
Shooterwalker (
talk) 00:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Shooterwalker, The problem is that the reviews do not, as far as I recall, provide any comprehensive information on the book's contents, which I assume is a biography of Kosinski, and the reviewers assume everyone will figure that out, I guess. They do not talk about chapter structure or such, just occasionally engage with some parts of his biography presented in the book the reviewer found interesting. And there is the issue of trying to make this article (and hook) be about the book and not about Kosinski's biography, which after all is a different article... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|
reply here 03:40, 7 June 2024 (UTC)reply
That's okay. We can work without it. I think the hook would end up overlapping with aspects of the subject of the book, but let me see what I can come up with.

ALT1a: ... that Jerzy Kosinski: A Biography described

New enough. Barely long enough prose length (but definitely long enough when the bridge list is included). Well written. Citations check out. (I used Google Translate for the Japanese sources.) But the article needs a few additional citations. First, add citations for the eighth bridge and the existing seven bridges. And add Citation #1 to the hook (about the stepping stones.)

Hi @
Phlsph7: thanks for your evaluation. Some parts of the lead and the section "Early life and education" sound very similar Because they are similar. I've used it as a source material, and "the article merely presents standard facts for a topic like this in standard sequence. The article does not copy any creative words or phrases, similes or metaphors." And a
direct comparison with the Moulton source shows no violation. However, all of these becomes irrelevant here because the dictionary is in public domain and properly attributed in the source section. Regardless PD or not, the article does not closely paraphrase, rather presents standard facts in an orderly sequence.
WP:LIMITED exists. Although redundant, I've now added a PD template as well in the ref section (which is usually done if it's a case of somewhat direct copy-paste, although this isn't the case here). Re the blurb's lentgh, while nominating I
made sure they are under 200 characters. And yes shorter blurbs would be better. We may simply remove the "American educator" bits: ALT0b ... that Lois E. Trott(pictured) ran the first lodging house for homeless girls in America, providing shelter and support for over 1,000 girls annually, all without receiving any payment? ALT0c... that Lois E.

Article looks good -- created within the window, long enough and generally in a good state. All statements are sourced and I can see no BLP or copyvio issues: the article does err on the positive side, and there might be some relevancy questions about e.g. the volume of his notes or his high-school disciplinary record, but none which represent serious problems or should prevent a DYK appearance. I do however think that His 2018 interview with Quincy Jones, in which the subject ... revealed an affair between Marlon Brando and Richard Pryor, went viral on social media needs a rephrase: revealed means that it was absolutely factual, whereas it seems that the claim is far more contentious and a serious matter to
at least one living person. It hardly needs saying that ALT0 is the stronger hook: there's a

Overall: My first time reviewing a dual-article nomination, and I appreciate the effort which must have gone into it!
Both articles moved to mainspace yesterday. QPQ is done. No plagiarism detected via Earwig. For both articles, length, referencing and image licensing are all good. For the insect, I think that the first paragraph of "Description" and of "Paleoenvironment" are both a bit long and ought to be split up a bit, and that "Paleoenvironment" should have at least one image - even the location map over at
Klondike Mountain Formation would be really helpful. For the plant, you really should move the distribution images a couple of paragraphs down to avoid
MOS:SANDWICH, and the last sentence of the lead is missing a period. Still, I would not hold up the nomination for those reasons alone.
To me, it is the hook which has multiple significant issues. It may not be grammatically correct (shouldn't it be named after the same place, not named from the same place?), it is really confusing and vague, as you have no way to tell what place is actually being referred to without clicking on both links, and I feel that a lot of readers would just say "So what?" when they see it as currently written. Suggested wording: Alt1"...that extinct
plants and damselflies from the
Eocene were discovered and named after
Republic in
Washington?"
I also think that both articles should have a sentence which makes this connection between the two more explicit than the mere hatnote at the top. Lastly, you should at least add DOI and ISBN links to your DYK citations. Right now, there is no way to tell which citation refers to which fossil without going through the articles' references, and we should not have to do that.

InformationToKnowledge The hook as written is a play on the hemihomonym use of the genus name Republica for both a plant and an animal, but I like alt1 as well. I've added the dois for each source and a map to Republica weatbrooki, plus added splits in the Description and Paleoenvironment sections. A sentence calling out the hemihomonymy has been added to each article under classification. The image/map placement for Republics (plant) is more problematic though. I edit on a wide screen desktop monitor, and my view of the article has the maps already almost all the way down to the start of References. Ideally I was wanting a single map, but I wasn't able to find one I could make work for the West coast sites plus Alaska.--

Just noting here that I've pulled Bjarne from prep; it can go back in when Esther's been approved. I've added the reference myself.--Launchballer 09:07, 6 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Well, I'll complete the review since I've somewhat started, pretty much confirming the work of Ornithoptera, and I echo the appreciation of the quick work here. Since it's in the hook, also a quick note of appreciation to Ornithoptera for the detailed article on what seems quite an impactful person.This article is new and long enough. It is adequately sourced. Running a few spotchecks I found no plagiarism (unless "a member of the Kainai First Nation" is not a common phrasing, which I feel it is but this is not an area I am highly versed in). I mentioned one sourcing quibble above, and noticed but did not mention the far too short lead, but Launchballer handled both of these. On the hook itself, I do not have access to two of the sources used across both articles, but it is backed up by the source I mentioned above which is already in both articles. Before approval, I note the
Bjarne Store-Jakobsen article and the Esther Tailfeathers article frame the hook sentence a bit differently, either they are joint focuses or he is the main focus. The wikilinks to the Esther Tailfeathers article should also be adjusted on the Bjarne Store-Jakobsen article, as they don't seem to reflect the page creation. I would also like to know which source mentions the divorce, as I didn't find that in my spotchecks. Best,

Hey,
Chipmunkdavis, thanks for the review! I've asked Ornithoptera to take a look at those three sections, as they have seen the film while I don't have access to it. From the reviews it looks like we could possibly tweak to
As the film deals not only with his and his wife's relationship but also with that of him and his daughter, and the film investigates how his experiences in the residential schools informed those relationships.

Works for me as an alt. It doesn't sound like the whole film is easily encapsulated in 200 characters, but the mythical love story aspect is hooky and prominent in the relevant sources. Waiting for Ornithoptera to confirm, I am copying over the relevant DYKmake coding here which should™️ ensure it gets copied over when this is promoted to my understanding.

Hi @
Chipmunkdavis:! Thank you for taking the time to go through the article. There are a few questions that are raised in this discussion that I have missed that I will do my best to answer. Stofjell's article
Elsewheres of Healing: Trans-Indigenous Spaces in Elle-Máijá Apiniskim Tailfeathers' Bihttoš is the primary source in terms of mentioning the divorce ("Tailfeathers uses Bihttoš totell the story of her parents’ marriage and divorce against the backdrop of agrowing global Indigenous rights movement") and Elle-Maija's mother ("The interspersed archival photographs are well-lit, but the liveaction sequences, featuring Elle-Máijá, her Kainai mother Esther Tailfeathers") and father ("Among other things, it is also very much a film honoring her father (“Áhčči”), Bjarne Store-Jakobsen"). If I have missed any other questions that require addressing please let me know and I'll do my best to adjust accordingly!

Thank you, and thanks all for the edits made to the articles. Go for ALT0a multi-hook then. Best,

New, long enough, well written and cited, QPQ present. Nice work. Prefer ALT1 (though linked cite doesn't directly say three, others verify), as 11 years isn't that long, but who am I to say as someone now eager to see

No QPQ needed. Hook is interested, although you really should list the source again here; it's de Crespigny, Rafe (2018). Generals of the South: The Foundation and Early History of the Three Kingdoms State of Wu. This checks out, however. Article seems in decent shape, although might need a round of copyediting; it's presentable, but some of the sentences are phrased a little clunkily.

The book notes: "We don't recommend it if you're looking for authenticity, but the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show is a 60-minute lumberjack contest providing a Disneyesque taste of old-time woodsman skills, including ax throwing, buck-sawing, springboard chopping, log-rolling duels, and a 50-foot tree climb that ends in a free fall."
Article was moved to mainspace today, so is new enough. At over 3000 characters, it is long enough. The article reads neutrally and properly uses in-line citations. The copyvio detector finds no issues. Both hooks are interesting and are cited in-line. No QPQ is required (though will be on your next one, have fun with that!). Everything looks good to go!

article is long enough, recently promoted to GA and within policy. Hook is short enough and interesting. QPQ not needed. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 21:50, 11 June 2024 (UTC)reply
