Frequently asked questions

[edit]

How do I write an interesting hook?

Successful hooks tend to have several traits. Most importantly, they share a surprising or intriguing fact. They give readers enough context to understand the hook, but leave enough out to make them want to learn more. They are written for a general audience who has no prior knowledge of or interest in the topic area. Lastly, they are concise, and do not attempt to cover multiple facts or present information about the subject beyond what's needed to understand the hook.

When will my nomination be reviewed?

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first, it may take several weeks until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see instructions below). Because of WP:DYKTIMEOUT, a nomination should be reviewed within two months since the reviewer/promoter may agree to reject and close an unpromoted hook after that time has passed.

Where is my hook?

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to this nominations page, it may have been approved and is on the approved nominations page waiting to be promoted. It could also have been added to one of the prep areas, 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.


Instructions for reviewers

[edit]
Main page: Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide

Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets all the DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article to which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the supplementary guidelines and the WP:Did you know/Reviewing guide.

To post a comment or review on a DYK nomination, follow the steps outlined below:

  • Look through this page, Template talk:Did you know, to find a nomination you would like to comment on.
  • Click the "Review or comment" link at the top of the nomination. You will be taken to the nomination subpage.
  • The top of the page includes a list of the DYK criteria. Check the article to ensure it meets all the relevant criteria.
  • To indicate the result of the review (i.e., whether the nomination passes, fails, or needs some minor changes), leave a signed comment on the page. Please begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed; your comment should look something like the following:

    Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.

    If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a line :* <!-- REPLACE THIS LINE TO WRITE FIRST COMMENT, KEEPING  :* --> showing you where you should put the comment.
  • Save the page.
  • After the nomination is approved, a bot will automatically list the nomination page on Template talk:Did you know/Approved.

If there is any problem or concern about a nomination, please consider notifying the nominator by placing {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page.

How to promote an accepted hook

[edit]
At-a-glance instructions on how to promote an approved hook to a prep area
Check list for nomination review completeness
  1. Select a hook from the approved nominations page that has one of these ticks at the bottom post: .
  2. Check to make sure basic review requirements were completed.
    • Any outstanding issue following needs to be addressed before promoting.
  3. Check the article history for any substantive changes since it was nominated or reviewed.
  4. Images for the lead slot must be freely licensed. Fair-use images are not permitted. Images loaded on Commons that appear on the Main Page are automatically protected by KrinkleBot.
  5. Hook must be stated in both the article and source (which must be cited at the end of the article sentence where stated).
  6. Hook should make sense grammatically.
  7. Try to vary subject matters within each prep area.
  8. Try to select a funny, quirky or otherwise upbeat hook for the last or bottom hook in the set.
Steps to add a hook to prep
  • In one tab, open the nomination page of the hook you want to promote.
  • In a second tab, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.

Wanna skip all this fuss? Install WP:PSHAW instead! Does most of the heavy lifting for ya :)

  1. For hooks held for specific dates, refer to "Local update times" section on DYK Queue.
    • Completed Prep area number sets will be promoted by an administrator to corresponding Queue number.
  2. Copy and paste the hook into a chosen slot.
    • Make sure there's a space between ... and that, and a ? at the end.
    • Check that there's a bold link to the article.
  3. If it's the lead (first) hook, paste the image where indicated at the top of the template.
  4. Copy and paste ALL the credit information (the {{DYKmake}} and {{DYKnom}} templates) at the bottom
  5. Check your work in the prep's Preview mode.
    • At the bottom under "Credits", to the right of each article should have the link "View nom subpage" ; if not, a subpage parameter will need to be added to the DYKmake.
  6. Save the Prep page.
Closing the DYK nomination page
  1. At the upper left
    • Change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • Change |passed= to |passed=yes
  2. At the bottom
    • Just above the line containing

      }}<!--Please do not write below this line or remove this line. Place comments above this line.-->

      insert a new, separate line containing one of the following:
      To [[TM:DYK/P1|Prep 1]]
      To [[TM:DYK/P2|Prep 2]]
      To [[TM:DYK/P3|Prep 3]]
      To [[TM:DYK/P4|Prep 4]]
      To [[TM:DYK/P5|Prep 5]]
      To [[TM:DYK/P6|Prep 6]]
      To [[TM:DYK/P7|Prep 7]]
    • Also paste the same thing into the edit summary.
  3. Check in Preview mode. Make sure everything is against a pale blue background (nothing outside) and there are no stray characters, like }}, at the top or bottom.
  4. Save.

For more information, please see T:TDYK#How to promote an accepted hook.

How to remove a rejected hook

[edit]
  • Open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to remove. (It's best to wait several days after a reviewer has rejected the hook, just in case someone contests or the article undergoes a large change.)
  • In the window where the DYK nomination subpage is open, replace the line {{DYKsubpage with {{subst:DYKsubpage, and replace |passed= with |passed=no. Then save the page. This has the effect of wrapping up the discussion on the DYK nomination subpage in a blue archive box and stating that the nomination was unsuccessful, as well as adding the nomination to a category for archival purposes.

How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue

[edit]
  • 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 this 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 this 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.

How to move a nomination subpage to a new name

[edit]
  • Don't; it should not ever be necessary, and will break some links which will later need to be repaired. Even if you change the title of the article, you don't need to move the nomination page.

  • New enough, hook verifies from the National Park source, Earwig does indeed register 87% but as it's a compatible license properly cited and attributed I think it can pass. Everything seems cited and the article is long enough and contains the hook, and everything else seems fine for DYK.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - n
  • Interesting: No - n
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Recent enough, cited, with no plagiarism as far as I can see. My concerns are regarding the hooks themselves. They are too wordy and do not appear to be supported by the listed source. In fact, the listed source says that Beyer has 276 more points than Clark, not ten. However, speaking as someone who doesn't watch basketball, these hooks don't spark any interest in me. I don't care that one person performed better than another person, especially in basketball. I did notice an achievement that might spark immediate interest. Assuming this hasn't since become outdated, the hook could be something like, using the ESPN as a source:

Hi @TonyTheTiger: please include a citation which verifies the hook fact (Clark's score and Beyer's score) and not just part of it (Beyer's score). Lazman321 acted in good faith by going by your citation. Beyer's score is verified here and Clark's score here, which verify the hook by WP:CALC. Tenpop421 (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, I agree that the Clark hook is the more interesting one. Tenpop421 (talk) 18:09, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Following the sentene "Clark finished her career with 3,951 points, ten shy of Beyer," these two citations are present. 55 and 56.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:51, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Even as a person interested in basketball, from a country where basketball is a religion, and who knows who Caitlin Clark is, the hook is frankly not going to see much appeal outside of North America I think. Unless you know who Clark is, the hook doesn't really sound all that interesting. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:05, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is Caitlin Clark not known outside North America?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:54, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
She's not an international star on par with someone like LeBron James, the Williams sister, or Lionel Messi. It's not to downplay her accomplishments in the world of basketball, but internationally she isn't a household name like the others mentioned. Unless a foreigner is well-versed into sports, they're at best most likely to have only passing knowledge of Clark and not really know who she is.

  • The article is new enough and long enough. It is adequately sourced and I did not find any close paraphrasing. As this is the nominator's first nomination, no QPQ is required. The hook is interesting and cited inline, and it is also verified in the source. My only concern is that it mentions Skeletrix by name despite not having an article yet; DYK regulars often encourage not mentioning article-less people by name in hooks. Either revise the hook to remove the mention of his name, or create an article for him so he can be linked (I see he is technically a blue link, although right now Edward Skeletrix is a redirect to Museum Music). If you can make his article meet the requirements, the hook would definitely work as a double hook. Good luck! Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:12, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Narutolovehinata5: thanks for the review. I've started an article at Edward Skeletrix; can it be boldlinked in the hook? CarbonLollipop talk┊contribs 05:10, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CarbonLollipop and Narutolovehinata5: I've updated the nom. ALT1: ... that to promote his album Museum Music, Edward Skeletrix held an exhibition during which he sat inside a glass box?--Launchballer 04:43, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reviewing Edward's article. The article was properly created on February 10 but was not bolded until February 19. While technically this would mean that the article was ineligible for DYK at the time of bolding, per WP:DYKNEW an extension can be granted based on the circumstances. In addition, the article was created in response to the discussion here, so maybe we can agree to IAR in this case. Otherwise, the article meets requirements: it is new enough, long enough, adequately sourced. It might be a good idea to mention the glass box aspect in the article too just to make sure the hook fact is verifiable across both articles. Still no QPQ is needed as this is the nom's first nomination and Edward would be just their second DYK credit. My main concern is that the entire Singles section is cited to Spotify, which isn't exactly ideal, although I can accept that if no other independent sources can be found.

@SafariScribe and Toadboy123: We need a different hook. The "first" hooks are generally frowned upon at DYK and come under extra scrutiny and could easily be taken down mid-way through their run on the main page if they are contested (if they even make it that far in the process). In this case it's not too hard to find another Nigerian who is often called the first black billionaire in Africa, namely Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu. See for example this Forbes Africa article; there are many other articles that say similar. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:34, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbritti, SL93, and Theleekycauldron: Belatedly reopening this (it was pulled on 2 March at WP:ERRORS, having been on the main page an hour). Two reasons; I believe that there is sufficient sourcing to say that did indeed have an OnlyFans account at the time of Model Farmers, and because I published three new articles earlier and I think this would work as part of a quadruple nom. My new QPQs are Sequoites dakotensis, Holy Cross Church (Marion County, Kentucky), and Noriko Takaya. ALT1: ... that OFTV aired a farming series involving six OnlyFans models including Danielle Sellers and Jessie Wynter and a reality series involving a woman (pictured) once called one of the "very few openly bisexual women on mainstream reality television"? (Per WP:DYK200, "text in boldlinks after the first do not count toward the limit", so this is dead on 200.)--Launchballer 17:41, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • OFTV: new enough, long enough, well-sourced (one use of cracked.com, unreliable but only used for opinion, and TheThings discussed here), presentable. No copyvio or blp violations.
Danielle Sellers: new enough, long enough, well-sourced (Tubefilter seems reliable). No copyvio or BLP violations.
Jessie Wynter: new enough, long enough, well-sourced (Mediamole, a subsection of Sportsmole, is a tricky one, but isn't used to support a controversial statement), and presentable. No copyvio or BLP violations.
Demi Sims: new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No copyvio or BLP violations.
QPQs done. Hook just short enough, interesting, and cited across the articles. @Launchballer: We have this Tubefilter article which says the six on the farming series were "OnlyFans personalities", but this could be read to mean that they were OFTV personalities. Can you provide another source for Sellers and Wynter being Onlyfans models? (In any case, it's an extraordinary BLP claim, so two sources wld be prudent).

  • New enough. Long enough. Article sourcing is fine. Article is presentable. Only one image in the article, which has an appropriate license. QPQ is done. However the hook's source is a primary source. Additionally, as it was published eight years ago, it only supports two first-round draft picks as having been traded away, not covering the current hook wording of 'several'. Otherwise the hook is short enough and interesting. Could we get a secondary, and ideally more recent source to cover the hook? C679 08:44, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Tenpop421: I agree that the hook is too promotional. I've tried pinging Thriley earlier, and they appear to be busy and mobile only. I would like to offer a new hook:
      • ALT1 ... that Baggu reusable shopping bags are so popular with collectors that it could undermine its sustainability mission?
      • @Viriditas: thanks for taking this DYK on! (BTW the ping doesn't work if you forget to sign your comment). I think this hook could work, but I would want to rephrase it so we're not stating it in wp:wikivoice (i.e., attribute this as tension that "some commentators" have pointed to). Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 22:03, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Tenpop421: Understood. I would like to construct a hook without the need for attribution, mostly due to length concerns. I can do this if I move on to a new hook, but I'm wondering if this one can be salvaged with some minor changes. I'm trying to show the contradiction or paradox between having a successful product with a focus on eco-friendly reusability so that you can use less disposable bags, and collectors (fashion hoarders) who ignore the sustainability mission and focus on overconsumption. Viriditas (talk) 22:26, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

            • @Tenpop421: No worries. I will try one more in this vein, and if you don't like it, I will change my strategy and come up with a different one:
              • ALT2... that the sustainability of the Baggu reusable bag is challenged by collector culture?
                • Source:Cohn, Lauren (September 16, 2023). "The Overconsumption Problem of Collector Culture". L'Officiel. Retrieved February 26, 2025. Quote: "...Baggu remains a reusable brand, dedicated to creating the perfect bag to reduce waste when it comes to shopping. Their sustainability efforts directly counter what happens on the consumer end of their products, as people collect more and more and over-consume bags meant to be solitary in their use."
  • Viriditas, thank you very much for the expansion. I liked your initial hook. Perhaps just a bit hookier: ALT3 ... that Baggu reusable shopping bags are so popular with collectors that it could undermine its sustainability mission? Thriley (talk) 23:06, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • You ALT3 is indeed an improvement. Tenpop421 has reservations that it could still be somewhat indirectly and unintentionally promotional, and I understand their POV, which is why I tried to reframe it in ALT2 by leaving out the popularity bit. It's a bit tricky. Can you reformulate ALT3 without the popularity angle? I think some people will see this as a sneaky argumentum ad populum driving interest in the brand, which I think is what Tenpop421 was getting at. I realize it's not, of course, but it could be perceived that way. Viriditas (talk) 23:18, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      • So far, I think ALT2 is the one I'm leaning towards. It's interesting without being promotional, and any flaws can always be worked out at the prep stage. I can verify that ALT2 is cited, the citation checks out, and it is in the article. Happy to give the good to go if @Viriditas: @Thriley: have no qualms.

Please propose an ALT hook – surely a better one is possible? "May not have a Wikipedia page" cannot be quoted out of context like that in a hook – it's also misleading (since it's no longer true) and leaning too hard into the someone "you've never heard of" angle reads like an invitation to nominate for AfD.

  • Owing to a discussion at WT:DYK regarding the interestingness of the promoted hook (ALT2), I've gone ahead and pulled this hook from prep. The following hooks were also proposed in the discussion:
ALT3: ...that Margaret Qualley had to confirm Lana Del Rey did not leak her wedding date on a song?
ALT4: ...that there was speculation Lana Del Rey had leaked a celebrity couples' wedding date on a song?
Source: https://www.nme.com/news/music/jack-antonoffs-fiancee-confirms-lana-del-rey-did-not-leak-couples-wedding-date-on-margaret-3443313, https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/lana-del-rey-jack-antonoff-margaret-qualley-wedding-date-1234734440/
Normally I would have just swapped it out with one of the above, but I have reservations about either hook meeting WP:DYKHOOKBLP, so I brought the nom back to unapproved for more discussion. Another alternative hook about the song reaching Silver in the UK was also proposed but I have not included it here as it probably does not meet WP:DYKINT.
A possible third option could be a reworded version of ALT2 that largely keeps the wording but specifies who Antonoff and Qualley are, for the benefit of readers unfamiliar with them. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:01, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article is new enough and long enough. Earwig shows no issues in English, but this is taken on good faith since it is translated from the Polish language. I was unable to complete multiple spot checks and verification due to different reasons. In one case, the links were bad. When I tried to fix them (Encyclopedia of Polish Theatre as only one example), I could not track them down to complete the spot check. Some of the content has borderline BLP issues, such as the claims about the border crisis and Lyme disease. I could not track down the claim for the latter, and it is entirely unclear if the subject was treated for Lyme disease, at which point it refers to something in the past and the date needs to be mentioned, or if she still has symptoms, in which case it needs to be modified to say that she has prolonged symptoms from Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome. (PTLDS). This is only one of many issues. I could not verify the hooks, even though I was able to read the links in translation. From what I can tell, she was notable before the mobile advertising campaign based on what I read, so the idea of what "famous" means is somewhat ambiguous. I think it's safe to assume that the mobile campaign increased her exposure, so it's not a stretch to say that's what made her famous, but I didn't see that in the sources; maybe I missed it. Finally, there's the overall issue of WP:DYKCOMPLETE in the general sense. There's still grammar issues that need to be resolved, and even though you have a current image in the infobox, it's a terrible image of the subject (mic covering her lower face, strained look) and there are dozens of great images of her, although they are much older, on Commons. Some of what I've written here might be incorrect or mistaken, and I acknowledge that, but some of it is also easy to substantiate. Given all these issues, I would suggest the nominator take a moment to address them and try to cleanup the article. Viriditas (talk) 21:13, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for the insights. And to answer to a few of your points. About the links, I think Encyklopedia teatru works fine now, I will later go and chceck if the rest are ok. About the lyme disease, I will admit that I simply don't have much of medical knowledge and don't usually know what to write about such topics, and I just really copied what Polish article said. I found a few articles talking about it (1, 2, 3. She suffered it in 2016 (and maybe in 2017 as well?), and it seems that it's mentioned in media, because she talked about her experience, and also becouse it seems she was a victim of medical malpractice (physician using wrong method criticised by medical experts, and in general making mistakes in her diagnosis and treatment). I actually wonder if I should just remove it, or actually expand it, and maybe mention all the stuff about issues with treatment. I thought the sources said that she is famous becouse of this comercials. I might go and look for additional sources about this specific topic later. But to kinda explain it, while I think article makes her look more famous in retrospect by just writing down all the stuff she did up to that point, she wasn't actually famous back then, and was mostly juat a regular person still trying to 'break out' as I think saying goes. For example, while I listed a few to shows she appeared in, it were mostly just background roles, sometimes with small dialogue. She, at least in my opinion, indeed became famous and recognizable nation-wide thanks to those comercials, since they were a huge success overall. I would even argue, that's what really propelled her career. Also, and this is just my personal opinion, I still think she's mostly still known primarily from those comercials to an average viewer. Also, about the picture, I personally thought she looked nice in the one currently used in the infobox. But I could change it to an older picture, though I think it was less flattering (idk if that matters to be honest though). Sincerely, Artemis Andromeda (talk) 22:31, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't mind if you leave the current image. This could be a cultural difference. In my culture that kind of image may be perceived differently. I've read elsewhere that photos of people in Eastern Europe that show them looking serious without a smile are preferred. As for Lyme disease, the article says she has it. But you say she has been treated for it, and if so, maybe expand upon it. Celebrities can often do a lot to bring attention to public health issues, so there is educational value there for the reader. It's also the case that climate change and other factors are increasing the prevalence of the disease around the world, so it's a timely issue. Comparing this version to the Polish wiki, I find that the hook is supposedly cited to Jak to się stało?, an interview between Bober and Kurdej-Szatan. However, you have it listed as published in 2021, when it was published in 2022. Perhaps the interview took place in 2021. Also, this is listed by EAN 978-83-96-1010-2-0. There's still issues with the article. I notice that Polish wiki also uses a better image in the infobox, which is current. Viriditas (talk) 01:01, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: No issues with eligibility, hook is fine and sourced even if it's not the most interesting. The double digit percentages on Earwig are from review quotes/proper nouns. The film has been released, so the premise section should be a fully-fledged plot section. There are also multiple grammatical errors in the article, including run-on sentences. The flow of the article is also pretty bad (e.g. 12/19 of the non-lead/plot/cast sentences begin with "The film" or slight variations such as "The film's", with 4/7 of the remainder being about reviews that all go "X of Y said Z". Release and marketing are both short and should probably be combined in some way per MOS:FILM. There are serious, but not insurmountable presentation issues that need to be addressed before approval. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 23:11, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've done some preliminary cleanup work. Also, in the hook, "on" should probably be replaced by "of".
@Patar knight: Thanks for reviewing, I fix some of the issues you pointed out, tell me if there's more, also, I'm slighly confused with story's phasing, so It hard to make a plot summary but I'll try my best. Also, your suggested hook is much better. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 00:19, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For one, it's more than 700 words, which is the limit recommended at MOS:FILMPLOT. It should use the narrative present tense (WP:PLOTPRESENT). There's so many tense flips here, I'm not sure what the narrative format of this film even is, and without watching the film, can't really fix the issues.

@Patar knight: I done what you are talking about and lower the word count to around 670. Also, as the movie, switches between two people.

The plot section (or rather, plot paragraph!) is still very poor with lots of typos (e.g. Masabu/Manabu? Haruka?) and grammatical mistakes and what seem like many prima facie irrelevant details (e.g. exact salaries, exact punishment for vandalism) while lots of essential details are omitted, including but not limited to:
  • What job does Haruko have?
  • What exactly is Yukio's relationship to the other characters?
  • What Yukio's gender is (only revealed after the third namedrop)?
  • Why should Aina and Yukio remember Manabu from just seeing him?
  • How much time is passing between events? Does the film take place over two days or more?
  • Why does Haroko have a missing person poster?
  • Was Aina using a fake identity?
From what I can tell the movie seems to follow two main characters (Haruko and Aina) in a linear manner and there is some sort of reveal about the missing posters at the end, which is not explained very well Having multiple protagonists/storylines is a very common feature of movies, so perhaps you can take a look at a film that you have seen from Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Films and see how their plot section is written and try to emulate it here. Given that the plot section is in this state, it is probably necessary to have brief descriptions of the characters in the Cast section as well, which would alleviate some of the issues. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 07:08, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Patar knight: Sorry for the late reply, the movie does not seems state how much time has passed each scene, as even the reviews by users on Eiga.com talks about how confusing the story is. There is a lot of details was missing in the movie. this is the pirated version of the movie on dailymotion (I don't think there is a english platform where this can watched legally) if you want to watch it for yourself.

I don't think I can answer most of the questions above, but I have fixed most of the issues I can fixed. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:24, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Patar knight: The prep set for International Women's Day is now open, please return to this nomination when you can.--Launchballer 13:03, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I took a brief look at the pirated film version to try and get a grasp on the plot. It seems pretty clear that the two main plotlines are (mostly?) happening at different times since Haruko is obviously not missing yet in her scenes while the Aina plotline resolves around creating art around Haruko's missing poster (which has a 2015 date) until apparently near the end, when Haruko shows up with a child. I would suggest the plot be rewritten in a way similar to The Godfather Part II which also follows two different timelines. Also, since we have access to the film credits, a fuller cast section can be written in accordance with MOS:FILMCAST (e.g. multiple roles currently described in the plot do not have listed actors in the cast section, and one actor in that section has a role not named in the plot). -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 20:46, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Patar knight: I don't know if it helps, but I had a go at reordering the Plot section myself. I got hold of a cast list from Themoviedb and added it as an invisible comment - @Miminity:, I don't speak Japanese, so please verify it and publish it.--Launchballer 07:45, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That depends. If you got it from the film, you can leave it unsourced; if you got it from somewhere else, you really should cite that. Ball's in Patar knight's court.--Launchballer 13:12, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Patar knight: There is a date request for the next set to be queued. What else needs to be done here?--Launchballer 16:24, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm willing to AGF that the credits are correct, but the plot summary is still a mess with no delineation between the two timelines. Last week, I suggested following the format of The Godfather Part II, which still has not been done. That article has a short out of universe blurb at the top to introduce the two timelines, a subsection for the past with Vito Corleone and followed by a subsection for the present with Michael Corleone, and then a short bit at the end where they include the ending flashback, which for this would probably just be the ending where they apparently tie up the timelines. Another example of this plot summary structure is Memento, which also separates out the two different timelines until the unifying ending segment. I would rather not have to watch an 1h40m film myself as the reviewer, so I would prefer if the original nominator did that. If there's major push to get a special queue for International Women's Day (right now there's only one entry in the holding area), I can see if I have time later this week (please ping me if that's the case). -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 20:26, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The set I had in mind is currently in queue 7, but it may have to go back. I added a couple of section headers and an introductory sentence.--Launchballer 20:51, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Now prep 3, but I also added a short "Ending" subsection, so this should be done.--Launchballer 12:40, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For context, I watched the first 15 min. to get a grasp of the film. The film actually opens with a montage and the scene with the mother seemed very unimportant, which appears to be correct given that she's not mentioned again in the plot summary. The description of Haruko going to Yuji's place for the first time is entirely overly detailed (he waits for her outside and lets her in, which is the actual focus of the scene) There are still all kinds of grammatical mistakes and unexplained characters (e.g. "A man told him that Hitomi" has an unexplained man and "him" should probably be "her"?). I don't have a lot of confidence in the fidelity of the plot. I'll make some changes based on what I watched, but I'm not sure its read for DYK. It also looks like queues are not being switched to doubles, so perhaps this can wait? -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:41, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Made some fixes based on the first 15 min and did my best to copyedit some of the remaining plot section based on the reviews I read and what I did watch. It is still not up to par, with highly confusing statements such as Manabu is found in a car by a police beaten up; Yukio and Aina argue in the car about whether they are why. What are they arguing about? Were Yukio and Aina not found by police even though they are ostensibly in the same car? -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:17, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I corrected that statement as I introduced it (I meant 'why he was beaten up' and those the prose improved for not having 'beaten up' twice.) I can't help you with text-to-source integrity.--Launchballer 11:26, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Eight days? That's out of the window of a week and I don't see any connection beyond that in the source, beyond it happening "ahead of" the holiday. Can you find any other sources further connecting these events? Departure– (talk) 00:52, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Departure–: Not sure what you mean; Selma was a prominent civil rights town that MLK frequented. But alas, sure: An MLK Day Reflection In The Aftermath Of Selma’s EF2 Tornado, Residents in Selma, Ala., commemorate MLK day while recovering from tornadoes and Tornadoes rattle historic civil rights community of Selma, Alabama.

@EF5: Alright, #1 is from a Forbes contributor (generally unreliable) and #3 doesn't connect much, but I do think that you can get a good hook from #2:

...that a 2023 tornado in Selma, Alabama that struck days before Martin Luther King day was described as bringing together the historically racially divided community that had been at the heart of the Civil Rights movement?

This goes over the prose limit for DYK, but if you approve of a hook in the same manner as this, we can get this condensed. Departure– (talk) 01:12, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EF5: Other than that, the article is new enough, QPQ now done, long enough and seems neutral and well-sourced. The fact just needs to be put in the article. If you're using the one I suggested, it's the PBS source that I took it from. I can condense it down to:

... that Selma, a racially divided community and the origin of the Civil Rights era marches to Montgomery, was described as being brought together by a 2023 tornado that stuck days before MLK day?

@EF5 and Departure–: In the article "brought together" is in quotes, but I don't see that phrase in the cited article. Also, how is the article describing the tornado as bringing the town together? Rjjiii (talk) 00:59, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can I get a second opinion on whether the original hook I suggested looks fine? The approved one is also creating issues at the GAN; it would have been much easier if the original was approved; the Forbes source is from a person with a PhD in meteorology. EF5 12:47, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also pinging @Departure–:. EF5 12:55, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(that's a whole lot of indents, but) Yeah, I do think the Forbes source is accessible. Per RSP, Editors show consensus for treating Forbes.com contributor articles as self-published sources, unless the article was written by a subject-matter expert, which we have now proven he is. I think the first and original hook is factual but a bit lacking in the DYKINT elements, whereas the second one is a bit long-winded and would need more elaboration in the article than we've gotten so far.

  • ... that a cannon used by Napoleon in his Russian Campaign (pictured) was later repurposed as a pile driver to create the foundation of the St. George Utah Temple?

"The St. George Temple, completed in 1877, was a study in pioneer ingenuity...

An old cannon, one that was taken by Napoleon for his siege of Moscow, and which had found its way out west, was used as a piledriver... and then dropped upon the rock fill to solidify it into a strong base(foundation)"

*Source: https://www.deseret.com/2003/7/11/19734272/temple-burns-151-but-not-angel/ "In the case of the St. George Temple, the fire became a local legend. Brigham Young had never liked the short, squat original temple steeple, and when the fire occurred — after his death — officials sighed and concluded that President Young was directing temple architecture from the afterlife. The new, taller steeple was built according to his stated desire."

    • Comment: I put the hooks in order of those I thought would be most intriguing for the recent GA grade for the St. George Utah Temple, a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since I felt the first was strongest, I put that as the default photo. If we want to make the hook for #1 more of a surprise, I would say instead: "The cannon used" so it is more of a surprise.

Each hook I've listed would go best with a different photo. I couldn't find any rules against having a possibility of different images, so I added links to Wikimedia commons for clarity.

I went back through this nomination template after the date it was nominated several times and added a few things to make the nomination more clear. March 1st I added some links to images to clarify things. However, the nomination itself was done within 7 days per the DYK rules, which is shown in the edit history of this template. This is my second DYK, so I'm not perfectly familiar with the rules, but I wanted to make things clearer while also showing that I am complying with the time rule.

@Itsetsyoufree32: Long enough, new enough. No QPQ necessary. You're going to need to add any images to this nomination for me to be able to consider them; I can tell you that ALT0 would require an end-of-sentence citation. However, there is a fair amount of close paraphrasing in the article and that would need remedying before primetime.--Launchballer 17:16, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Hi, thanks for reviewing my DYK nomination for the St. George Utah Temple.
As far as it goes with the close paraphrasing- the user that did the GA said there was no close paraphrasing,[2] but he mentioned that Earwig picked up to 35.5% similarities, but that it was mostly proper nouns. I looked at the report, and I found a few phrases that were very close, but I rephrased those sentences. Otherwise it is mostly just things like names of the organization (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, titles of leaders (president of the Quorum of the twelve apostles), etc. Do you see specific spots where there are close paraphrasing sections that I can address- or were you specifically referring to something else besides Earwig?
The only phrase I wasn’t sure I could replace was "Two days and two nights." I could say 48 hours, but since that isn’t verified (it could be 47 hours, 49, etc), then it would amount to original research. I’m curious about your opinion of that.
I did some more research on the origins of the cannon- there are various reports that the cannon came from different places, so I may need to add more information and citations to the article. I’ll continue to do some research on that and ping you (hopefully within a few days). For now, I added that citation to the relevant part of the article. I’ll add the images here as well.
Itsetsyoufree32 (talk) 22:53, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever close paraphrasing I found before I now can't, so nice one. Looking at the hooks/images in more detail, I could approve ALT0 and ALT2, but the oxen image is of technically poor quality (I wouldn't have known they were oxen if you hadn't told me) and the cannon probably shouldn't be obstructed. The source for ALT1 attributes officials, so the hook should as well.--Launchballer 12:22, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - n

  • Other problems: No - ?
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Drive-by nomination. The issue is that the hook is not particularly interesting, many tropical nations that do not snow have participated in the Winter Olympics. Also, the source does state that Zimbabwe had not had snowfall in 40 years... except it's the skier who said that, "I don't think there has been any recorded snowfall in Zimbabwe in something like the last 40 years," the 20-year-old skier said in a telephone interview., I would not consider this quote to be reliable. @B33net: jolielover♥talk 14:13, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not only that, but the claim is contradicted by a quick search: apparently it may have snowed in Zimbabwe in the 1930s, but more importantly, there have been reports of snow in more recent years (which may or may not be accurate, but at the very least it makes the claim questionable). I don't know if the following would be considered interesting, but the article is rather sparse on hooky material, thus:
ALT1 ... that Luke Steyn, Zimbabwe's only athlete during its Winter Olympics debut in 2014, moved to Switzerland when he was two years old and grew up in Europe?
Otherwise, the nomination may sadly have to be rejected for lack of a hook. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:26, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Narutolovehinata5: I did think of that, but most reports (that I saw) about snow in Zimbabwe concluded that it was a country that does not snow, and its last recorded snowfall was 70+ years ago. The reports of snow in Zimbabwe in recent times, though debated, reportedly all happened after his participation. That's what I remember of when I searched info about snow in Zimbabwe when reviewing this hook. I do like your rewording of the hook, though not sure if I should pass it since the nominator has been AWOL from this nom since. Alternatively:

ALT2 ... that Luke Steyn was Zimbabwe's only athlete during its Winter Olympics debut in 2014?

  • Seems good, valid GA. "first" hook, which needs exceptional sourcing but three reliable sources are provided, which looks good to me. Cannot access but will AGF. However, in the body this claim does not actually seem to be said? ""something in a 5/4 time hadn't really been done in rock'n'roll", and quoted, not sure if it's quoting the musician or a secondary source, not really definitive. Does one of the provided sources say it was "one of the earliest" or equivalent? PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article isn't too bad but "well-photographed" is not a perfect analogue for "well-documented" in both the source and the article. While it might be relatively moot it still seems a little too SYNTH-y. The cycloical marks article really isn't long enough (at all) for DYK. It could be expanded, or you could change the hook to focus just on the Scottsbluff tornado.
Hmm, I also think the claim about being the "best-documented" and indeed all figures for photographs focus on the tornado family - the AMS source you linked is even titled Notes on Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Tornadoes, 27 June 1955 - are we sure the article is even on one single tornado? This is about the most clean-up work I'm comfortable not failing; it's not quite "insurmountable" and I do think it's possible. Let me know when you're done clarifying everything and I'll finish my review. Departure– (talk) 21:25, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Departure–: Will do shortly. How about that the 1955 Scottsbluff tornado (pictured) produced "unusual markings" later determined to be cycloidal marks? Debolding cycloidal marks gets rid of the length issue, as nonbolded links in the hook don't have quality standards. Will do the rest shortly once I finish up Draft:1920 Hackleburg–Phil Campbell tornado (which is surprisingly a real event). EF5 21:33, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

        • Having performed a spot check of the cited statements, I have identified a couple issues. A source says "In a school journal, he decried the Iraq War", which is interpreted in the article as he first became politically active, notably opposing the Iraq War at a young age. This is an inaccurate representation of the source. The same article is cited for despite his stated disillusionment with both major political parties, but he expresses no disillusionment with the Republican Party, only discontent with antisemitism among both far-left and far-right factions. I'm not entirely convinced that the article is in a suitable state to run on the main page. Please rewrite while keeping close to the sources. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:06, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • The website is just a taxonomic names list, it does not speak to a consensus per say. Also, it does not confirm synonyms here, it just puts this as saying that some authors consider it a synonym or basionym. https://www.ifpni.org/species.htm?id=C5C500AA-BA29-4A36-B914-5696D1B33A65.

      • @Kevmin: I was not expecting a long-dead tree to cause such disruption! I'm requesting a stay on this review until the taxonomic issues are sorted out. @Bubblesorg: multiple taxonomic authorities superior to a non-peer-reviewed amateur book reject the Sequoia name. The plant has been reassigned and remains somewhat uncertain, per Kevmin. Cut-and-paste moves are disruptive. We can discuss this further on the talk page. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:24, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    What multiple papers? Most papers either suggest Sequoia or Parataxodium. Only parts of the plant are assigned to Sequoites. You did not have any consensus here to change it. I only used the Gary point to respond to the other person when they questioned the reliability of the source, I am not using it here to keep the name as Sequoia instead of Sequoites. Bubblesorg (talk) 15:33, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Pbritti agreed, we should reach a stable version of the article and correctly cover the taxonomy issue (some authors fully and wrongly ignoring Bell) before we continue the nom here, I'll have to step out from reviewing as I have now added notable information to the article.--Kevmin § 15:35, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Bubblesorg This discussion needs to be at the article talk page. The IFPNI listing at Sequoia dakotensis specifically links it to Sequoites dakotensis as a jr synonym, and notes it as the older name. I also just added a summary from Kevin Aulenbacks book on the Horseshoe Canyon Formation, where he specifically also uses Sequoites dakotensis, connects it to PArataxodium and links several other organ taxa into a larger whole plant reconstruction based on foliage, ovulate cone, pollen, and pollen cone morphology. All that we now seem to be missing is a formal paper making the official moves and synonymies.--Kevmin § 15:35, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this has potential but there is still a problem. Pinging @Abo Yemen: for responds. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 10:39, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Abo Yemen: WP:QPQ or quid pro quo is where you review one nominations before nominating a page. Though QPQ is only done when you have more than 5 nomination. So, you don't need QPQ. Anyhow, ping me if you are done fixing the page, though, no need to rush as DYK nominations can be up for 2 months since nomination, or in this case, this can still be approved before April 18.

    General: Article is new enough and long enough

    Policy compliance:

    • Adequate sourcing: No - There are at least one non-lead paragraph without sources (see the section Issues of conflicts of interest and bias). There are also failed verifications from sources, for example completely dead and recent sources (ref 5) and sources that links to appearently personal files on OneDrive (ref 4). Also see the comment I gave for the hook's source (ref 2).
    • Neutral: Yes
    • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes

    Hook eligibility:

    • Cited: No - The source have a failed verification to the hook: it had zero mentions of the word "Ohio", so it's safe to assume that it didn't verify the hook.
    • Interesting: Yes
    • Other problems: No - I'm quite concerned about whether the hook is relevant to the article: it doesn't quite make sense to say that there are two states with Mayor Courts, but linking the bolded link to one of the state's court.
    QPQ: None required.

    Overall: Earwig said 16.7% simliarity, but Court costs section seems like the list is a mostly-copy of the source (with some modifications), so I'm not entirely sure about this. There are some style issues with the page, eg. starting a list without starting a new line and not using a list in the See also section. Overall, well done on creating the article, but there is some work required to be eligible DYK levels.

      • ALT3 ... that Tommy Cronin was described as having "made a name for himself" in the NFL, yet did not play in more than five games?
      • ALT4 ... that Tommy Cronin was the last person from his high school to play in the NFL – in 1922? or ALT5 ... that Tommy Cronin was the last person from his school to play in the NFL – in 1922?

    This article, created on 21 Feb, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No copyvio problems. However, JTtheOG Narutolovehinata5 I can't find the hook about Desormeaux (ALT2) in the article. It says Desormeaux was brought on as an assistant, but nothing abt Munoz being an assistant to Desormeaux. Tenpop421 (talk) 14:13, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello, thank you for taking a look at this. The first source (The Athletic) identifies: 1. Desormeaux as having inherited the Louisiana head coach position from Billy Napier and 2. Munoz as being Louisiana's "new associate head coach and tight ends coach", both of which are assistant positions under a head coach on a staff. I should probably remove the quote from the ref, since you've correctly shown that it does not completely verify the claim. JTtheOG (talk) 19:21, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @JTtheOG: Thanks for the response, which admittedly goes over my head a little (I'm not awfully familiar with American football). Per WP:DYKHOOK, the hook has to be clearly in the article and with a citation at the end of the sentence. Can you make it obvious somewhere in the page, with citations?

    Overall: I've seen the subject in the news a bit lately. I find it extrodinary that there are so many simps willing to throw ridiculous amounts of money at content creators, but whatever floats your boat.

    (ec, from WT:DYK) New one on me regarding the Evening Standard, but I've cut everything except for an attributed opinion, which is also what Vice is solely used for. People is only being used for the claims that she goes to church and grew up on food stamps, neither of which I would describe as contentious (but the latter claim's also in the South China Morning Post and in this Riverfront Times piece). Complex is Complex Networks and has an editor-in-chief, according to Variety. Also, the number is also in this National World piece, which I was surprised to see people at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 465#NationalWorld.com sticking up for earlier this year. I'll take a closer look at Complex once I've eaten.--Launchballer 12:40, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Personally, I'd prefer we don't run this kind of sensationalistic drek at all, but even if we do end up finding better sources and running this, please change "$43,477,695.01" to "$43 million" in the hook for style reasons. RoySmith (talk) 13:13, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Date, size, spotchecks, QPQ are fine, and I am also ok with the day-late per explanation above. But I think the hook is not good - it focuses on a minor aspect of her life, from a site of unclear reliability (https://www.raialyoum.com/). It is also based on an interview with her, so arguably, her posting about this to social media, while commendable, is not really noticed by anyone except her. So I am not even sure if this is WP:DUE in the article. But good news is that I see plenty of potential for better hooks. How about "was the first non-government Bahraini to visit Israel, facing death threats upon her return"? That seems to be based on three more reliable news sources. Could also focus on her works, ex. that her "novels blend romance with social commentary on women’s rights and mental health in Bahrain" (side note: can we add the names of her novels to the article?). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:46, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks. I like your first suggested hook, if you think that better (for the reasons you mention). I will look for the titles of her books, but did not notice them in English sources (more likely I imagine in Arabic sources ..

    The book titles (ideally with ISBNs) are not a DYK-requirement, I just feel they would be very useful here. Sadly, I cannot help much (she does not appear to exist in WorldCat under English or Arabic names as used in the article). As for the hook, if you can formally propose an ALT1, I'll review it and likely approve it :) PS. When you reply, please WP:ECHO me.

    • General eligibility:
    • New enough: No - The article was first created February 17th, but discounting a one-line stub that was made then it was pubished February 25th. I am not sure if this meets the newness requirement or not.
    • Long enough: Yes

    Policy compliance:

    Hook eligibility:

    • Cited: No - Neither hook seems to adequately be cited by the source(s) in question. For ALT0, there seems to be no indication that rappel racks have "excellent" heat dissipation, only that more recent designs have better dissipation than older models that have poor dissipation. For ALT1, I couldn't find this claim in the source. The closest seems to be this: "Before 1956, people suffered with body rappels. In the next decade, many new ideas appeared. Since 1966, there has been no real progress in rappelling."
    • Interesting: Yes
    QPQ: None required.

    • New enough (nominated within 2 days of creation), long enough (1767 characters). AGF on offline book sources, of which there are several, which one would expect for the subject.

    • Reading through the article. I see it is labeled as {{EngvarB}}, but the English is clearly not American. Is this British, Canadian, Australian, or something else? I ask because some of the word choices, tenses, and sentences threw me for a loop. I was about to correct them when I realized this is acceptable in non-American English. Perhaps it should be labeled as such in the heading or talk page so someone like myself doesn't try to change it?
    • Some of the sources in this article are more than a decade old, making me wonder if the claims are still true. For example, in the "Temperature and weather changes" you write "some scientists continued to emphasize uncertainty", but that source is from 2015.
    • Not a fan of the second paragraph of the "Temperature and weather changes". It has a very in medias res approach which is confusing AF. "There were fewer than twenty permanent weather stations across the continent and only two in the continent's interior." But you aren't talking about today, you are talking prior to 1981 or some other more relatively recent date at the end of the 20th century. It would help if you could fix this.
    • Another editor has stepped in to complete a review for 2024 Tallahassee tornadoes. Because you didn't offer a full review, and only made a comment about the newness and length criteria, I think you might have to do another QPQ. Not sure about this, of course, so you may want to ask elsewhere, but from what I can tell a full review of the same article was offered by User:Cremastra.
    • The climate engineering intervention sentence in the "Long-term sea level rise" section is a bit of a red flag as it vastly simplifies this kind of thought experiment and future study and fails to note that the researchers don't support it. They write: "we do not advocate for deployment of ice sheet interventions in either the short or the medium term". I think it's important to briefly note that most scientists do not believe that anything less than drastic carbon reductions now can make a difference and that loosely mentioning this sci-fi scenario is slightly misleading without the caveats. This problem has come up many times before in other topics which is why I raise it here. It's a common talking point in climate denial that technology will easily solve the problem without reducing energy use, but this is not true. This is also a popular talking point within the effective accelerationism movement, whose advocates want to use as much fossil fuel as possible to bring about AGI. They are fond of promoting these climate engineering ideas without telling people that no scientist currently believes it can work. The argument is long and complex, but these people believe that we can get away with destroying the planet in the short term to create a planetary civilization in the long term; this will in turn allow us to fix everything we've broken. I think we need to be careful here not to feed into those ideas. For a longer, more detailed explanation of this argument, see tescrealism. When you listen to these proponents carefully, except for a small minority, they generally share an antagonism towards actualizing decarbonisation, and often promote climate engineering interventions in its place.
    • On the Antarctic continent, plants are mainly found in coastal areas; the commonest plants are lichens (386 known species), followed by mosses (133 species) and ice algae, as well as liverworts (27 species). Lichens and ice algae are not plants.
    • You've got Clem et al. 2020 cited for your hook up above, but your hook seems to derive specifically from Stammerjohn & Scambos 2020, which preceded Clem et al. You've also got both cited in the article for the hook. Stammerjohn & Scambos 2020 says: "The end result is a warming rate at the South Pole during 1989–2018 more than three times the global rate (+0.6 °C per decade versus +0.2 °C per decade)", or "in the past 30 years, the South Pole has been warming at over three times the global rate". Clem at al. 2020: "Over the last three decades, the South Pole has experienced a record-high statistically significant warming of 0.61 ± 0.34 °C per decade, more than three times the global average." Just noting this as it isn't explicit.

    @Viriditas: Well, I was certainly hoping for a smoother review, but I appreciate the effort invested into this. If you don't mind, it'll probably take me another day or two to start responding to this in detail - not in the least so that I can find another QPQ, where I could invest the same kind of effort.

    FWIW, the same thing happened to me on a QPQ about a month ago and I had to find another one right quick. One way to prevent that from happening is to use the review template in the header and to put question marks in that areas that are unknown and then mention in the review that it is still in progress and you haven't yet finished.

    QPQ: Unknown
    Overall: Promoted to GA (new and long enough); sourced, neutral, and plagiarism-free; hook is cited and interesting, I think it could benefit from an image of a graph showing the warming, but it would have to be zoomed in to work; others may disagree. Could a different image work? I don't know. I made a list of issues in the article up above in the feedback section, although I fixed most of them. I would recommend that you review my changes to make sure I didn't accidentally mess anything up. I would be happier if you were able to fix the beginning of the second paragraph of the "Temperature and weather changes" as I specified in the feedback up above, as it really doesn't work for me. We're just waiting on a new QPQ to move forward and perhaps a slight fix to the hook, otherwise I think we are pretty close to done. Viriditas (talk) 22:55, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    No, and I wouldn't have thought that was a problem. Articles are only disqualified if they appear as a boldlink and Arakawa was never boldlinked there.--Launchballer 18:14, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Launchballer: I wasn't talking about a disqualification, I just thought it might attract flack as gratuitous, as the ITN blurb did. BLP does apply to the recently dead, and to focus on the particularly unpleasant death of the pair seems unfair to this talented couple. Tenpop421 (talk) 18:23, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd have to do some actual research into her.--Launchballer 18:55, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    There isn't much information on her. She was a private person and died a sudden natural death caused by illness, which is not a noteworthy fact, and Hackman subsequently died essentially from old age, being 95, i.e. from a heart condition, which is even less noteworthy, and the fact that they died seven days apart during which period he did not call anyone because he did not comprehend the situation due to his advanced Alzheimer's is also exactly what anyone* (* anyone who knows what Alzheimer's disease is and what it means to be 95 years old with advanced Alzheimers) would expect to happen under the circumstances. Therefore, the hook fails WP:DYKGRAT. It is not unusual or intriguing and it is gratuitous.—Alalch E. 22:04, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Alalch E. Launchballer there's an ongoing AfD discussion about this article. Tenpop421 (talk) 14:43, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It's hard to know for sure, but it doesn't look like the article will be deleted. @Launchballer: I'm not a fan of ALT0 based on what Alach E. wrote above. Can you offer another one? Up above, Alalch says Arakawa was a private person and her death isn't noteworthy, but I disagree with them on that point. Exposure to hantavirus is rare, but New Mexico has had the highest number of hantavirus cases recorded since 1993.[5] Further, our article on the effects of climate change on hantavirus suggests that climate change in New Mexico may be partly to blame. For me, the rarity of Arakawa's death due to hantavirus is notable and should form the basis of the new hook. Viriditas (talk) 20:42, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    MEDRS is well out of my comfort zone, but I can suggest ALT1: ... that Betsy Arakawa died of a rare disease passed from rodents? I can also suggest, per a tip-off at the AfD, ALT2: ... that after Betsy Arakawa died, Snopes debunked a rumor involving the FBI discovering 701 bodies in a tunnel under her house?--Launchballer 13:37, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I have removed the ALT2 claim from the article, consistent with the rationale in my edit summary.—Alalch E. 16:04, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Good edit. For those not familiar with what is happening, the QAnon disinformation effort mines science fiction for ideas and then adapts it to modern news stories to use as propaganda against so-called liberals. The "underground tunnels" idea began with Mole people in fiction. During the COVID-19 pandemic, pro-MAGA QAnon-related social media accounts (some homegrown, some connected to foreign nations) began to spread the idea that the pandemic was a cover story for saving the "mole children" in underground tunnels. As always, liberals and democrats were the antagonists in these tales. Gene Hackman was a famous supporter of the Democratic Party. It is not surprising to see the same QAnon conspiracy theories about underground tunnels being found under his house after his death. This is part of a larger disinformation campaign by the pro-Trump wing injecting an infodemic of false information into the media on a daily basis, or what they refer to as "flooding the zone". There are earlier antecedents to this kind of thing in the right wing literature focused on conspiracy theories in United States politics. While the more modern version is focused on the exploitation of children in underground tunnels, Mother Jones traces it back to 1980s conservatism and the Satanic panic.[6] It also resurfaced in the 1990s as part of the right wing underground bases conspiracy theory (see Dulce Base), which was traced back to old science fiction stories created by Richard Sharpe Shaver in the 1940s.

    • Not a DYK criteria, but a tip for improving your writing: try to avoid WP:PROSELINE to write more engagingly. So, don't start each sentence with a date, but vary it instead.

    • The nomination's subject is somewhat outside my comfort zone so I am only doing a partial review and leaving the final check to another editor. I can confirm that the article is new enough (created and nominated on the same day) and is long enough. The provided QPQ is a little incomplete (no QPQ check for example or checking for interestingess), but in the interest of moving this nomination forward I can let it slide, with a note to the nominator to check these in the future. The hook is cited inline and verified in the Chinese-language source. I would advise against using the image as it appears to be low quality. The main reason I am deferring final approval to another editor is that the article is largely dependent on Chinese government websites, and I am unsure if they would be considered reliable or suitable for the purposes of the article. The article also has a minor typo: "stituaion". Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:17, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This hook still demands some U.S.-specific knowledge—that it's unusual or remarkable for the US ICE to arrest permanent residents, and more broadly what the legal designation of "permanent resident" means. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 06:26, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    TBF, I can reword the "permanent resident" part, but I still believe putting out the full name of the org makes it pretty blatant; additionally, Trump's deportation efforts received some international coverage ([14][15][16]), so I expect a non-US reader to know surface-level info about ICE. 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 12:02, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
