Template talk:Did you know/Approved - Wikipedia

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.

To create a new nomination or to see those that are yet to be approved, see Template talk:Did you know. For the discussion page see WT:DYK. Click on the link to go directly to the Special occasion holding area.

• Click here to "purge" this page (if it looks like updates to subsidiary templates aren't being reflected).

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.

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.

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.

• See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
• 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

• 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].

April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.

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.

Overall:     Fun little DYK, was kind of neat to learn more about the statue and how the everything came together. All in all it looks fine, no copyvio issues, and article is long enough. I'm not a huge fan of the second hook, it's not as interesting as learning about the process that was taken to make the statue.

@Dr vulpes: Thank you, glad to know you enjoy it! I personally find the first hook to be more interesting also, but my main qualm is that it seems somewhat difficult to include all of the useful details while keeping it reasonably simple and catchy for the average reader. As to the last point, my interest in working on specific topics comes and goes and seems totally random, so I often try to save things in userspace rather than draftspace to avoid the automatic deletion after 6 months, which has happened before.

Overall:   The plot section does not have inline sourcing, but this is not required per MOS:PLOTSOURCE. ALT2 talks about using a bedpan to save and needing to empty it to save again, which is not exactly what the hook says. It may need to be reworded if it is the hook chosen, but I believe other hooks are more interesting anyway, especially ALT3. The source provided for ALT3 does not mention humanitarian aid, but this is mentioned in other sources in the article. I believe this DYK is ready to go.

• Comment about the hook and BLP: George Pell died on 10 January 2023, so he is no longer a living person. Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Recently dead or probably dead (WP:BDP) says:

  Generally, this policy does not apply to material concerning people who are confirmed dead by reliable sources. The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death—six months, one year, two years at the outside. Such extensions would apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the subject that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide or particularly gruesome crime.

  It has been over 20 months since the subject's death so I don't think the BLP policy applies to him anymore. If it did apply to him, then WP:DYKHOOKBLP would be applicable. WP:DYKHOOKBLP says:

  Hooks must adopt a neutral point of view. Hooks that unduly focus on negative aspects of living persons should be avoided. Note that this is a stricter requirement than BLP as a whole: a sentence that might be due weight in the article can become undue if used in the hook, as all of the surrounding context of the individual's wider life is missing.

  The hook could be seen as putting focus on negative aspect of the subject's life (in mentioning the conviction even though it also says the conviction was overturned), but as WP:BDP does not apply, I do not think WP:DYKHOOKBLP is violated.

The lead content used in ALT0 is a rewording of the first sentence of the composition section, which is sourced by [7].

• Not a big deal, but in terms of reader expectations, I did expect to see a mention of either the spoken word or musique concrète genres (or both) in the lead.

• In 2021, Will Wood took inspiration from Radiohead's "Fitter Happier"...In tribute to his inspiration, Wood directly included the song's origin album OK Computer (1997) as part of the title in parentheses.

• I see why you wrote it this way, but I'm concerned the general reader might be a touch confused. I always try to write for a reader that knows nothing about the topic. In this regard, you don't say "Fitter Happier" is a song or track; could you specify this outright? It may seem obvious to you and I, but not everyone is a music maven. Also, it is slightly confusing that you wait until the end of the paragraph to tell the reader the name of the album. How about adding that "Wood took inspiration from Radiohead's song "Fitter Happier" from the album OK Computer (1997)" at the beginning? And then at the end, simply saying "Wood directly included the song's origin album as part of the title in parentheses", since we already know that? It's okay if you disagree, but it did stand out to me after reading the article several times. Viriditas (talk) 22:07, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Koopastar: Thank you. I apologize for the extra time you have had to put into this. Regarding ALT2, I think it would be best to rewrite it as it is confusing in its current form. The takeaway for me is that Bev Standing 1) was the original text-to-speech TikTok voice, and that 2) she worked with Will Wood to provide the voice for "You Liked This". I'm not convinced we need to mention her voice was used nonconsensually by TikTok in the hook as that is entirely tangential to the song here, and you already link to that background info when people click on her name.

AirshipJungleman29 The ABC article source says that Mr Green has been widely recognised for his two decades of conservation work, including by Natural Resources Kangaroo Island. The award from the South Australian government, which can be seen at 28 seconds into the ABC video source, describes him as a dedicated, hands-on environmentalist. So, while the word "conservationist" isn't necessarily used, I think these essentially say the exact same thing.

•   GA status confirmed, date is fine. Various GA-related quality aspects confirmed as meeting DYK standards. Still needs a QPQ review. Hook needs improvements; not Nokia devices, but a single device (the article states "In homage to his first albums, which he spread using Bluetooth, he released a collector's edition Nokia 6120 handset."). And while this is not a DYK concern, I think this part of the article should be expanded - how can one spread albums using Bluetooth? How does one include an album in a handset (the source states it was pre-loaded onto a classic handset, which is confusing - what exactly was that item)?

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:   - I will kindly AGF the offline sources, but many parts of the article is unsourced. Paragraph four has an unsourced statement, and the "Biology" paragraph is unsourced; there’s also one ending in "FAO REF?". Ref 1 doesn't specify it's a "gamefish" beyond vague "if fished incidentally" (which doesn't clarify individual scale nor if it's done commercially or recreationally, especially when next to "commercial importance") nor mention angling. I can't seem to find the 2.5g weight in ref 11. Ref 16 doesn’t say “the silver porgy is generally standoffish and seldom approaches divers”; while it says “D. argenteus had always been seen in the gulfs”, it doesn’t go beyond only a few year-round divers identifying the species. "Or anything to do with Argentina's etymology" seems so OR-y and debatable; both of them come from the same Latin word.
• Neutral:

Also, I think it would be more clear if the source at the end of the last paragraph of the lead were duplicated to the first two paragraphs as well if it applies to them, and per the DYK guidelines, I think that the source given has to be present at the end of the sentence giving the claim present in the hook.

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:  
• Interesting:   - I’m concerned the hook may not be legible to many readers; I am reasonably interested in related topics and still had not heard of Millicent Fawcett, and the entry does not explain.

Overall:   Thank you for nominating this interesting and worthy entry! If I could make one general recommendation for making this important topic more accessible to the non-specialist reader, I think regardless of the hook, the entry could benefit from a few words explaining who Fawcett was, and likewise to explain what the Bangor dispute was (currently it’s a bit mysterious). As to the hook, I wonder if it would be more interesting to say something like:

•   ALT1 ... that Oxford suffragist Myvanwy Rhys earned first-class honours from Newnham College, Cambridge, but was denied a degree?

@Narutolovehinata5: Thank you for the review! But I'm not sure why you've specifically approved only one hook when there's nothing actually wrong with the other one - surely it's up to the prep builders to choose which hook is more interesting.

While I thought ALT1 was also a surprising and interesting hook, I thought the fact about them being formed four days before the gig, as opposed to simply being intended to be a one-time thing, was more unusual and eye-catching.

•   The article is a new translation and plenty long enough. There are a variety of issues with the content that need tidying up. For a start, the year and place of birth are unreferenced, which is a violation of WP:BLPPRIVACY. Either you find sources or you must remove those details. I noticed a mixture of British and American English; settle on one (personally, I would use British English but it's entirely up to you). The list of print media at the end of the section "Life and career" should all be shown in italic font. Same with the newspaper's part of the title Los Angeles Times Book Prize. In the section "Selected publications", the last three entries need either the ISBN number added, or a reference, or removed from that list. Otherwise, the referencing is fine. The article is neutral. Earwig is clean. With regards to the hook fact, you quote “but the protagonist does have a lot in common with me in terms of temperament.” (you need to use square quote marks, by the way, not curly ones), you need to point me to where it says that in the source as I can't see it. The hook is interesting (to me, at least). Should others have issues with interestingness, there are certainly plenty of other good hooks possible. I won't be able to sign off on the image, I'm afraid. It says that it's supplied by the subject (ok, fine, she could have used a tripod, however unlikely that is, though) but the uploader is not the subject. It therefore needs to go through the Volunteer Response Team before it can technically be used. QPQ has been done. All in all, there's a wee bit of tidy up work to do but it shouldn't take you long, Munfarid1. Schwede66 05:13, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @User:Schwede66, thanks for your close review. I have taken care of all the issues you pointed out and changed the picture. As most sources give Leipzig and 1986 as her POB and DOB, I have changed that and added a source for this in the lead. (I am not aware that this would have to be repeated in the infobox now, but if so, please let me know.) I did not see any inconsistencies between British and American English in the text, and would prefer to leave it as is. (Again, if you see any, please let me know.) - Also, I have added the correct source of the quote, and apoligize for the mistaken source that you rightly pointed out. Munfarid1 (talk) 11:09, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  "travelled" and "colour" is British English (traveled; color), while "characterized" and "organized" is American English (characterised; organised). Which one shall it be? I had fixed the quotation marks for you as the manual of style requires us to use square marks (") but you changed it back to something else (″). Whilst not the most important issue at all, we might as well get it right. The licensing of the new image is fine, but the lighting is suboptimal. ALT0 is now referenced. Not sure how I managed to overlook the other two hooks. I’m not sure about ALT1; there’s a bit of synthesis going on. ALT2 is fine. Schwede66 17:23, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well, I wasn't aware that you had changed the quotation marks and understood that I should change them. Actually, I used the special character in WP drop-down menue, and only now read that this is not what MOS requires. So I just changed this again to square marks. - As to the spelling of -ize, this is not exclusively American, but also Oxford spelling and accepted by many British, Commonwealth and international organizations, as well as by MOS:IZE. - I hope this will sort out any doubts on your part for the go-ahead of this DYK.

Overall:   @Crisco 1492: Hi Chris! Overall, this is a well-sourced and well-written article. It was submitted on the day it was created, so it is new enough. Earwig also shows that the article is copyvio free. However, I have some concerns about the hook. I do not find it particularly interesting, and the reason for Yang's execution is not clearly conveyed. The People's Daily source cited in this nomination mentions that Chiang Kai-shek personally called Yang before ordering his execution, which is a much clearer and more interesting detail for a hook in my opinion. But this is just a suggestion for possible amendments to the hook, and it is not compulsory. If the nominator prefers to keep the current hook, that is perfectly fine with me as well. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 14:39, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

• Hi Prince of Erebor. That tidbit is mentioned in several of the sources. However, given that they are all state media, and their likelihood of being non-neutral in detailing Chiang Kai-shek, I'm a bit iffy reporting it as objective fact (I think at least one mentions that he basically threw the phone in response). I can add a few lines making it clear that this comes from a state source, then we can do an ALT. Let me revisit the sources. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:04, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

ALT2 ... that Chiang Kai-shek was reported to have ordered the execution of Yang Pao'an (pictured) after the latter threw a phone against a wall?

ALT3 ... that Yang Pao'an (pictured) refused to forsake the Chinese Communist Party, reportedly even after a personal telephone call from generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek?

@Crisco 1492: Thanks for your swift reply and update! It is true that state media should not be taken at face value, but it appears that all the other sources cited in the Later years and death section, such as China Daily and The Paper, are also state-owned, leaving us with limited options. Perhaps we could consider ALT3, as it seems to address concerns about neutrality and skepticism regarding the details of the supposed private conversation between Chiang and Yang?

The English language sources look to be reliable for the content cited, happy to AGF on the foreign language ones; I didn't pick up on any issue with overly close paraphrasing; image is good and properly licensed; hook is fine and loosk to check out to the German-language source (a Google search appears to confirm the team is referred to simply as "Rolling Chocolate" elsewhere); a QPQ has been carried out. If you can address the two minor citations needed this should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 17:44, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Added a bit more to cover this. She has left RSV Lahn-Dill but I have let this stand as she is yet to join a new club. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:04, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Engelbrecht !Nawatiseb

• ... that Engel Nawatiseb left the Landless People's Movement only one month after joining?

• ALT1: ... that Engel Nawatiseb left the Landless People's Movement due to disagreements about who should drive during the party's fifth anniversary celebration? Source: "The source further claimed that these party members felt threatened by Nawatiseb’s position in the party. “People felt why is it only Nawatiseb driving the car and not them?” the source said. Following the complaints, the party allegedly took the car from Nawatiseb.", and "Another party source said Nawatiseb was insulted by a powerful young leader in the party about the usage of the car. “Apparently he wasn’t sharing the car with others. But once a car is assigned to you, it’s difficult to share, because once it is broken it becomes your responsibility,” another party source said. The source said the car was taken away a day after the party’s fifth anniversary. “On Sunday morning when they took the car, they embarrassed and insulted the man,” the source said." [5]

• I may review this nomination later today, but a quick comment is that while the source goes into detail about why !Nawatiseb was chosen to drive the car, why other party leaders were supposedly upset, and ostensible explanations as to why the car was reassigned, the article itself only talks about !Nawatiseb's embarrassment over the car being taken. I really like the second hook, but the disagreements should be detailed (or at least mentioned explicitly) in the article for the nomination to pass. Yue🌙 17:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Also, I think it should be "a celebration of the party's fifth anniversary", because to my understanding he was to drive for the celebration in a specific part of Namibia, as he was the only person qualified in that area. Yue🌙 17:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   References were spot-checked for verification; no issues arose. Both hooks are verified, but I prefer ALT1. However, I propose to the promoter this rewording of ALT1, which incorporates ALT0:

ALT2: ... that Engel Nawatiseb reportedly left the Landless People's Movement just a month after joining because of disagreements over who should drive during the party's fifth anniversary celebration?

  Sorry to butt in, but the article isn't good enough for DYK. At first, I intended to remove the stub tag (we don't run stubs at DYK) but it's arguably still a stub. There is nothing outside of his political career; no early life, education, or what he did before politics. The article therefore fails WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Secondly, the date and place of birth are both unreferenced and that's a violation of WP:BLP. Thirdly, about half the article deals with controversies and that feels unbalanced; hence it fails WP:NPOV. There's a lot more work required to get this ready. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Overall:   New enough, long enough, sourced and neutral, Earwig detects no copyvio issues other than long names and quoted passages, the hook is interesting. I am awaiting the QPQ as mentioned by the nominator. Ivanvector I want to clarify with you the value of "4,000 years" mentioned in the hook. I see a value of 3000 years as mentioned by "suggest the possible presence of a drowned site dating within the Woodland Period (which spans from about 3000 years ago to the recent historic period)." but I'm not sure whether the "to the recent historic period" is inclusive of an additional thousand years or not, I am not familiar with the terminology enough to make my own determination.

@Narutolovehinata5: thanks, I was not aware of that. If we're going to be bureaucratic about things, the rules also suggest that previously completed QPQs can be credited towards a future nomination requiring one, and I have done QPQs with three or four of my past five nominations when none were required. Nonetheless, I have started to review ...Well, Better Than the Alternative. I will check on the sourcing for the time period this evening, and update accordingly. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 17:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ornithoptera: the source for 4,000 years is "First Look at the Proposed Pituamkek National Park Reserve" in National Parks Explorer, reference #6 in the article, which reads "These shores and forests have been home to the Mi’kmaq people for more than 4,000 years [...] ." I've added an additional inline citation. I interpreted "the recent historic period" as meaning the time period right up to European contact and the Acadian expulsion in the 18th century, and the section you're referring to I believe describes the estimated age of that particular drowned site or to the Pitawelkek site described in the source, not to the whole island chain. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:07, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for getting back to me with the QPQ. I can verify that the new source for 4000 years explicitly mentions the date mentioned in the hook. For future reference, it might be ideal to not assume "the recent historic period" based on what you might assume, rather, finding a source that can attest to it within a relevant source is the safest way to go. The phrase can be interpreted in a variety of ways and would not serve as a strong source for this context. Thank you for your time Ivanvector, wonderful work on the article regardless.

Hi CMD, I chose the quote above as it tells the story in one easy citable passage.

While the source given in this nomination is non-English and without a page number, the hook is sourced in the article to the primary source which does support it.

  • @Chipmunkdavis:, Thank you for reviewing my first DYK submission. The 'ancient-buddhist-texts' English source is a primary source, but I added it mainly for clarity and better understanding in English. The article is fully supported by the Burmese source, and even without the 'ancient-buddhist-texts' reference, it remains comprehensive. The Burmese source, Kutha Zatdaw (PDF), Myanmar Alin (in Burmese), 16 June 2005, p. 10, is sufficient to cover the entire article. An article from the Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science is also an additional reference that can be used to verify the entire content of the article. If you're unable to verify the Burmese source, please feel free to seek assistance from other Burmese-speaking editors. And I added more English source and page numbers.

Regarding the image, the Buddhist temple artwork is not copyrighted, which is a common case in Myanmar. Buddhist Jataka tales are often depicted in many temples and monasteries across Myanmar. For instance, File:071 The Defeat of Alavaka (9022063790).jpg is an example. In Myanmar and Thailand, temple arts of Buddha cosmology are generally not subject to copyright. Thanks! Hteiktinhein (talk) 20:06, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

No problem, it is an interesting article. On the sources, there is no specific issue with non-English sources (although the English backup is appreciated), but as a general point I would suggest including page numbers next to specific claims for all languages. Would you have a link for more information about that copyright situation? CMD (talk) 14:53, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

As I’m not an expert on copyright, I’m not sure how to explain it very well. I do know that Myanmar is not a freedom of panorama country, but the Aung Myin Dipa Temple in Patheingyi was established around 1880 by Min Dipa, a minister and court official in King Thibaw's court. The paintings in the temple seem old, but there is no indication of the year they were made or the owner’s name. So, they could be considered under the PD-Myanmar license. However, I don’t want to delay or cause any arguments, so it’s fine to promote my DYK without the photo. I’m withdrawing the photo for now. Pls kindly review. Thanks!

•   New enough (draft), long enough, no QPQ needed. A couple of paragraphs lack citations, although they read as if they might simply use a duplicate of other existing citations. Earwig gives a high value, but this seems to be mostly quotations. If there is another way to word "converted the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction" that may be useful, but if not, I have not found copyvio. The hook seems interesting from a common law perspective, but I am concerned the language does not easily track the article which may make it difficult for readers to find. For example, "freeze" does not appear in the article, neither does "Lord Chancellor". I do think it is in the sources given here, although I cannot access the source in the article. This should be a simple fix, either with tweaks to the article or the hook. CMD (talk) 10:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  @Chipmunkdavis:

  1. Added references for those few paragraphs I forgot to cite.
  2. To make it easier to find the support for the hook, I have rephrased the intro a bit, duplicated a footnote there from the body (optional per MOS:LEADCITE), and added non-paywalled sources for it. Additionally:
     • I have changed a "frozen" into "freeze" for sake of CTRL+F. (There were already 8 instances of "freezing".)
     • Likewise I have added "Lord Chancellor" to the lead, though "the Chancellor" and "the pre-Revolutionary Chancellor" appear in the article and refer to that. I used "Lord Chancellor" in the hook rather than "Court of Chancery" (the former court of the Lord Chancellor) mainly since it sounds more interesting (and is accurate), but I would be fine with instead using "Court of Chancery" in the hook.
     • Re: "although I cannot access the source", if you log in to the Wikipedia: Library, then you should be able to access that paywalled sources via HeinOnline at Maloy, "Expansive Equity Jurisprudence: A Court Divided" (and likewise the other paywalled source at Haines, "The Conservative Assault on Federal Equity").
  3. While I have now very slightly changed the wording, "converted the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction" (Google) is not original to the case, and the exact phrase is used by the Supreme Court, the court of appeals, and multiple sources (Burbank, Grenig)—in each instance without quotation.
