Instructions for nominators[edit]

Create a subpage for your new DYK suggestion and then list the page below under the date the article was created or the expansion began (not the date you submit it here), with the newest dates at the bottom. Any registered user may nominate a DYK suggestion (if you are not a registered user, please leave a message at the bottom of the DYK project talk page with the details of the article you would like to nominate and the hook you would like to propose); self-nominations are permitted and encouraged. Thanks for participating and please remember to check back for comments on your nomination (consider watchlisting your nomination page).

If this is your first nomination, please read the DYK rules before continuing: Official DYK criteria: DYK rules and supplementary guidelines Unofficial guide: Learning DYK

To nominate an article[edit]

Read these instructions completely before proceeding.

For simplified instructions, see User:Rjanag/Quick DYK 2.

I.

Create the nomination subpage.

Enter the article title in the box below and click the button. (To nominate multiple articles together, enter any or all of the article titles.) You will then be taken to a preloaded nomination page.

II.

Write the nomination.

On the nomination page, fill in the relevant information. See Template:NewDYKnomination and {{NewDYKnomination/guide}} for further information.

Not every line of the template needs to be filled in. For instance, if you are not nominating an image to appear with your hook, there is no need to fill in the image-related lines.
Add an edit summary e.g. "Nominating YOUR ARTICLE TITLE for DYK" and click Save page.
Make sure the nomination page is on your watchlist, so you can follow the review discussion.

III.

Post at Template talk:Did you know.

In the current nominations section find the subsection for the date on which the article was created or on which expansion began, not the date on which you make the nomination.

At the top of that subsection (before other nominations already there, but below the section head and hidden comment) add {{Did you know nominations/YOUR ARTICLE TITLE}}.
Add an edit summary e.g. "Nominating YOUR ARTICLE TITLE for DYK" and click Save page.
Consider adding {{Did you know nominations/YOUR ARTICLE TITLE}} to the article's talk page (without a section heading‍—‌the template adds a section heading automatically).

How to review a nomination[edit]

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 :*  showing you where you should put the comment.
Save the page.

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.

Frequently asked questions[edit]

Backlogged?[edit]

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 (so that those hooks don't grow stale), 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 above).

Where is my hook?[edit]

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.

Search archived DYK nomination discussions[edit]

Instructions for other editors[edit]

How to promote an accepted hook[edit]

See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
Hooks that have been approved are located on the approved nominations page.
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 to Prep 3", preview, and save

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.
Add a link to the nomination subpage at Wikipedia:Did you know/Removed to help in tracking removals.

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.

Comment: for 16 April (Easter Day) and I'd like to request we use the sound.

Converted from a redirect by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 10:59, 9 March 2017 (UTC).

- Length, Date, Cite, QPQ, and Earwigs check for both hooks. Mifter Public (talk) 20:25, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

I have pulled this from prep not only because the promoted (ALT1) hook is problematic, but because in addition to the two templates I added earlier, both caused by misunderstanding or misrepresenting the sources in the material, the article gets too many facts wrong. For example, the claim that it took a full week to write the chorus. The source says it took nine days for Handel to write Part II of Messiah, yet the final chorus took seven of those nine days? Not only is that improbable, but the source (christianity.com, which strikes me as somewhat dubious) doesn't even make the one-week claim. The Ross source is talking about Messiah in general, not the Hallelujah Chorus in particular. And so on. I do have doubts about the original hook as well, in part because of the source of that claim. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:06, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I have made the alterations and removed some of the contentious claims. Can you please restore the tick? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:22, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

No, I'm afraid the edits to the article have done nothing to address my objections, and if it weren't well past my bedtime I'd replace both templates right now; you're still misrepresenting the Ross source, and the sentence about oratorio and chorus still does not make sense. You also haven't addressed whether christianity.com is a RS. If you make further edits, I'll certainly look at them, but I won't be returning for many hours. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:33, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: I have removed the line. I have made further alterations to explain that hymns are sung with people standing. As for Christianity.com, it is run by Salem Media Group which has editorial oversight. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:46, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

If we have to have yet another fork of Messiah (Handel) (main article --> Messiah Part II --> H.Chorus), can we at least try to make the newest one line up with the featured article at the top of the tree? To quote that: "The custom of standing for the "Hallelujah" chorus originates from a belief that, at the London premiere, King George II did so, which would have obliged all to stand. There is no convincing evidence that the king was present, or that he attended any subsequent performance of Messiah; the first reference to the practice of standing appears in a letter dated 1756, three years prior to Handel's death.[52][53]" I'm tempted to slap a {{merge}} template on this article, because there's nothing useful in it that couldn't be added to one of the other articles about the Messiah, or (indeed) isn't already said there in better ways. Bencherlite ^Talk 10:12, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Merge template now added. A lot of the material currently in the article was just copied word-for-word, or paraphrased, from other Messiah-related articles anyway. Bencherlite ^Talk 11:41, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry, The C of E, but there is no chance that this will be able to run for Easter. Even aside from the merge discussion, Duplication Detector shows 1170 prose characters copied from Messiah Part II, which would require a minimum of 5850 prose characters for this article, well more than the 4305 it currently contains. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:47, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

This is not an expansion nomination, this is a creation from redirect nomination therefore the 5x rule does not apply here. All that applies here is that the part from Messiah is discounted in the character count, which will still take it over the 1,500 threshold. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:16, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

The C of E, read WP:DYKSG#A5, which is quite clear: you have copied material from a pre-existing Wikipedia article into this one, and it therefore must be 5x expanded. You should also read Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia, because you failed to acknowledge the copying when creating the article, which is a violation of Wikipedia's rules about attribution, something you need to fix. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:27, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

@Bluemoonset: Very well, I have now brought it up and over that character count so it can now be promoted back now. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:04, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

The C of E, this nomination isn't going anywhere until the merge discussion has concluded (which will require a closure by someone uninvolved in the discussion). As I said earlier, I don't see any possibility of this happening prior to Easter: seven days from the opening, the absolute minimum for a discussion like this, is April 17, the day after Easter.

Lazy Afternoon (Barbra Streisand album)

Article history )

~~... that Lazy Afternoon was the first Barbra Streisand album to feature handwritten liner notes from the singer?~~ Source: Official album booklet

Reviewed: Erin Burns

Expanded by Carbrera (talk). Self-nominated at 1:09, 8 April 2017 (UTC).

Just a question – how can the liner notes verify that this was her first album with handwritten notes? I understand that you may be able to use them as a primary source for the fact that the notes are handwritten, but unless the notes say that this is her first album to do so, it probably qualifies as WP:OR. 97198 (talk) 13:12, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

@97198: She states in the notes, "While I usually let the vinyl speak for itself, I really had fun making this record, and I thought it might interest you to know something about each song. After all, I wouldn't want to be a chef who doesn't share her secrets!" Maybe this helps. Carbrera (talk) 16:31, 8 April 2017 (UTC).

I don't think that verifies the hook as written, but if you disagree you can add a "new review" symbol below so you can get a second opinion. 97198 (talk) 14:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Second opinion here. I'm afraid this is rather clearly OR - the source only says that she "usually let the vinyl speak for itself", which implies that she sometimes did not (i.e. in previous albums). It doesn't say that this is the first time she had written notes, so I don't see how it can be used to make a statement to that effect. A new hook is needed (and I'd recommend changing that statement in the article given the OR problem). Prioryman (talk) 12:50, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Striking hook per original and second opinion. Carbrera, please provide a new hook. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:53, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Timely; article long enough (~10.5k elig. chars.) and hook terse enough; grammar mistakes in hook fixed; article sourced but completely omits hook in its entirety let alone a source for it. Once that's fixed, Earwig finds copyvio but it's only from pulled quotes and is actually fine. — LlywelynII 21:39, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

LlywelynII – Do you think you could help me in developing a better hook? I seem to be having some trouble with this. Carbrera (talk) 03:42, 26 May 2017 (UTC).

Eh, just pick something in the article that's actually there and sourced. I can't give you one, since then I couldn't do any review of it. — LlywelynII 16:11, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Much of the article is sourced to two unreliable sources. This source is a forum post and this source is a blog. SL93 (talk) 06:41, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi SL93. TankNutDave is closely associated with the Bovington Tank Museum, so can be considered to be a RS. In a similar vein, the Secret Projects Forum among other things is well known for as acting as a sort of clearing house and information exchange for Military historians, Aerospace researchers, etc. from various countries. As such, it has been used as an RS for a fair few articles in different subject matters across Wikipedia over the years, being considered generally more reliable than your average internet forum. This is especially the case where the linked SPF post or topic in turn links to, or otherwise directly references, other reliable sources such as academic/reference works or contemporary official documentation for the information shown. If you are still worried, I could try and break out some of the RSs mentioned in the relevant linked topic and add them directly to the article as additional references? Ceannlann gorm (talk) 22:35, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm still not too sure of the blog being considered reliable. The other one is still an internet forum and what stops someone from registering and misinterpreting the sourced content or even just flat out lying? Some more content needs cites too - The end of the Armament section, the end of the Protection section, most of the Sensors section, and the entire Versions and Variants section. I will start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Did you know about the two sources. SL93 (talk) 22:46, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Ok. I'll have to head away now, so any more inline citations will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest, assuming other things don't get in the way (it's been one of those weeks). Ceannlann gorm (talk) 23:00, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Came here after seeing SL93's post at WTDYK. I'm afraid I have to agree with their conclusions; these sources do not appear to be reliable. This does not mean that the information provided by them is false, necessarily; but it does mean that we cannot rely upon them. One of the crucial criteria for reliability is editorial oversight, and accountability. A news organization has editors, who are in turn accountable to the owner. A blog is accountable to nobody. An internet forum even less so. As far as I could tell, I could get onto this forum tomorrow, and say plausible-sounding but incorrect stuff, and unless somebody noticed, there would be no consequences. Vanamonde (talk) 05:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Ceannlann gorm: It's been quite a while since these issues were raised, and you have been active during this period. If you want to make improvements to it, you should do so quickly. Vanamonde (talk) 17:15, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Vanamonde. I've already added more inline citations to the article as requested. I was just waiting for more comments here, and/or the aforementioned (apparently now archived for lack of contributions) discussion over in WT:DYK to progress, before coming back to this. Have to head away now unfortunately (your notification just caught me) so I'll make a more detailed response to the remaining outstanding issue, of whether or not the two queried sources are Reliable Sources, tomorrow. Thanks! Ceannlann gorm (talk) 17:28, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello again. Now, as I already mentioned before, TankNutDave has a close relationship with the Bovington Tank Museum, to the point where the company routinely holds PR and educational outreach events at the museum (see linked youtube video for a quick example from a couple of years ago). In addition, it has a direct association with the Sveriges Försvarsfordonsmuseum Arsenalen located in Strängnäs, Sweden. TND, as it's also known, also routinely acts as an armoured vehicle consultancy, historical & otherwise, to organisations ranging from the BBC to Obsidian Entertainment (TND is actually part of the development team for Armored Warfare) to BAE Land Systems of all things. Not to mention that at least four of the senior staff can actually be considered to be qualified AFV instructors in their own right. TND also works with another company you may have heard of (especially if you are or have been a Top Gear fan) Tanks A Lot. With all of the above and the fact that it is a blog (somewhat ironically started as a modeling blog sideline of the company back in 2007) of a reputable & fairly widely known company rather than a personal blog it's not surprising that TankNutDave has already been used as a RS on a number of Tank/AFV articles throughout Wikipedia for at least a couple of years now. In a similar vein, the Secret Projects Forum since it's foundation back in 2006 or thereabouts, has gained a reputation both online and off as a very good resource for reasonably reliable (and even more importantly clearly sourced) information on various maritime, aviation, space, and defence subjects, with various well known historians and writers such as Chris Gibson and Bill Sweetman routinely contributing often well sourced historical data (including contemporary photographs, artist drawings, official documentation, etc.) alongside anonymous but knowledgeable posters from around the world. Any informed speculation or unclearly sourced information is normally clearly defined, or otherwise quickly flagged as such. Ceannlann gorm (talk) 23:00, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

... ~~that the Supreme Court of Canada judged that a person charged with an offence has to be tried within 18 months?~~

Created by Valmi (talk). Self-nominated at 18:01, 7 April 2017 (UTC).

New enough. Long enough. According to QPQ Check, this is their first DYK, so no QPQ needed. I'm no lawyer, but "ruled" might work better than "judged" in the hook. Several paragraphs need citations. The hook fact is not cited. The lead mentions "a fixed maximum delay of 18 months from charges to trial, applicable to most cases", so it is not clear that the hook can be correct if there can be exceptions. Edwardx (talk) 22:35, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

I've added references to all paragraphs--not new references though, just placing the existing ones in all places where I've used them. Is this a correct way to do things? I've taken the opportunity to extend the introduction. I think you are right that "ruled" is better. I could propose the following updated hook:

ALT1 ~~... that the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a person charged with an offence in a provincial court normally has to be tried within 18 months?~~

Valmi ✒ 03:57, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

ALT1, at 141 characters, is stated in the article, and referenced at the end of the sentence where it is mentioned. Striking original hook. As noted above, all paragraphs now have at least one in-line citations. Earwig's tool shows a high rate, only because it sees the block quote as a copy; so, no issues with copyvio. This one is good to go with ALT1.— Maile (talk) 12:02, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

No, they normally have to be tried within 18 months or within 30 months, depending on whether a preliminary enquiry is done or not. Nothing in the article or source indicates that 18 months is the normal situation and 30 months the abnormal one. Fram (talk) 14:16, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Returning to Nominations page for the consideration of a new hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:32, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that the Supreme Court of Canada held that a 44 month delay from filing charges to trial's end was unreasonable under §11 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms? 176 characters.
ALT3 ... that the Supreme Court of Canada held as unreasonable a 44 month delay from filing charges to trial's end? 107 characters. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:03, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Created by HeyJude70 (talk) and 7&6=thirteen (talk). Self-nominated at 16:05, 9 April 2017 (UTC).

Timely nominated. This article is a new track list, with virtually no content. Length in total bytes may comply with minimal requirements, but it is woefully devoid of content. If you excise the track list, we're talking 348 characters of countable text. No WP:QPQ alleged. I reformatted hook to put the track list in bold. I assume that is what the nominator is proposing. OTOH, hooks are is reliably sourced, neutral, and interesting. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:20, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

User talk:7&6=thirteen Added QPQ, however I completely ignored the lack of content in my own article. That's my mistake, my apologies. (Sorry for not pinging you, the template would not recognise your username)

QPQ confirmed. (Not yet promoted; not a requirement.) If you type {{User:7&6=thirteen}} it works. I added a little text, a block quote, and two sources. 926 characters, including the block quote (not sure if that even counts) (excluding the track list). Still thin gruel. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 23:19, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

As to the track list contents, it is verbatim lift from the ITunes website (absent the price of each download). I assume that is alright, as there is nothing that can be done about the song titles and artists names. But is deserves mention as a possible copyvio, even though it is typical of record track listing articles. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 00:13, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

As to both hooks ~~ALT1~~, the sources show it was originally released only through ITunes.

I added two paragraphs and a reference lifted (and credited) from How I met your mother. ~~One of them needs a citation.~~ Added another reference. This is still pretty short on content. Added content suggestions (including expanding article to directly cover the "Deluxe" version) on the article talk page. This might necessitate a rename of the article. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:26, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

New reviewer needed. Could not get the article creator to respond. However, I think I've taken care of the content issue. I've substantially expanded the article beyond the track list (2307 ~~1538~~ characters, including the blockquote). 13,700+ ~~8,925<~~ bytes total. As I wrote on the article's talk page, it also might be possible to add some other content. There is also an issue regarding the article's name (which is only sort of a DYK issue). I would now like to be listed as a co-creator of the article, and am withdrawing as a reviewer. Can't be helped. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:50, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Not reviewing, but I wanted to note this article still needs a lot of work. I've corrected some of the grammar and formatting but there are still problems in that regard. Most of the section "The series" has nothing to do with the album, and several critical opinions are presented as facts. This album appears to contain only original music from the show but the article is bloated with information (which reads like pieces of trivia) about the show's general use of music. 97198 (talk) 09:50, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

I have just updated this page to reflect the article move. 7&6=thirteen, are you planning to address the issues raised by 97198? It's been over four weeks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:13, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

BlueMoonset The rename of the article (which is new and ~~14,610~~ 15,199 bytes currently, far in excess of the DYK threshold) should answer all the concerns. I expanded the article and the lead.

The two albums are inextricably intertwined with the show's soundtrack.

I have diligently tried to find on line reviews of the album. No luck. Maybe somebody with HighBeam access can find them? Or access to Newspapers.com?

There is a lot of content. We could even add the playlist for the second album. But other than that, I am out of sources.

I think we are well in excess of the standard for DYK. A review is needed. If that isn't good enough then fail it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:18, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

New reviewer needed to do a full review of the article. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:59, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Comment If you count the lead paragraph and the album section, we are well over 1700 characters. ("Articles must have a minimum of 1,500 characters of prose (ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, and tables etc.) The number of characters may be measured using this script (most accurate) or this one or this tool.) And that does not count the infobox, playlist, reference, or all of the text about the series. There is enough there that it would qualify for DYK (1500 characters) just based on those portions alone. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:08, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

So just to clarify, since you didn't answer BlueMoonset's question above, you are not planning to fix the issues I mentioned above? 97198 (talk) 04:33, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

97198 To clarify, I think I both addressed and fixed the issues above. Article has been renamed, reformatted, and expanded. Hope that assuages your concerns. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:05, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

As far as I can tell each of the issues I raised still stand:

"I've corrected some of the grammar and formatting but there are still problems in that regard."
"Most of the section "The series" has nothing to do with the album, and several critical opinions are presented as facts."
"This album appears to contain only original music from the show but the article is bloated with information (which reads like pieces of trivia) about the show's general use of music."

You seem to do a produce of good work here so I guess I'm just surprised that you think an article like this is ready to appear on the main page. 97198 (talk) 10:18, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

The show's use of music is covered by the article renaming. In any event, it is the context in which the album arises, and better informs the readers. I added as a topic sentence to one paragraph: "Critics have been effusive in their praise of the show's music." Moved the section you deem "trivia" to the end of the article; the violation of copyright is important. This is a case where relevance is in the eye of the beholder. We will have to agree to disagree. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:24, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Edited out the "trivia" per your suggestion. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:46, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

It's looking slightly better now, and I trimmed a bit more. I still don't see why, in an article which begins with the bolded title How I Met Your Music (Original Songs from the Hit Series "How I Met Your Mother"), all of the detail about other music used in the show is relevant. Or how statements such as "The albums mirror the show's iconic prescient and well-placed choice of music" or "there are a great many impressive musical moments" are NPOV. Anyway, I'll step aside at this point since we seem unable to see eye-to-eye. 97198 (talk) 11:27, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

I appreciate your POV and have tried to address your criticism. Thanks for the copy editing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:45, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

New reviewer still needed to do a full review of the article. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:43, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for expanding this article! I hope you got double duty out of some of your writing :-). DYKcheck says the article was expanded 5x, so it's long enough and new enough. I didn't have time to check each source, but I spot-checked a few and they supported the statements they referenced. My main problem is that the reference for the hook doesn't contain the information in the hook. The article only defines cognitive slippage as "mild associative loosening." The hook should reflect the information in the source. A different hook would be fine too.
This isn't required for DYK, but in general the lead ought to summarize everything in the article. The information currently in the lead section explains what cognitive slippage is, and should be its own section. A page like panic attack has a separate section defining what it is.

@Edwardx: Date and expansion fine. However I have a problem with the hook as I believe it is a BLP violation. Alleging that President Trump violating the constitution is not what one would consider suitable for the main page, not to mention it could be seen as POV pushing. Would need to be changed completely. Also a QPQ is needed. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:52, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you The C of E for your review. I don't see it as a BLP violation as such, but one might argue against it on non-NPOV grounds, although I don't think there is a strong enough argument. For example, we had Template:Did you know nominations/Dissent Channel in February. We have a well-sourced article on CREW v. Trump, which I've now linked to from Painter's article. The most interesting thing for a hook is that Painter was W's chief ethics lawyer, and is now is now a prominent Trump sceptic. Edwardx (talk) 11:55, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm new to reviewing these, but this hook seems really wordy and abstract, and sorta pedantic. I guess that sounds harsh, but it's simply a long list of species from a genus, followed by a common trait of that genus. Are we even allowed to make a whole list of bolded articles like that? Shouldn't only the main wikilink be bold? How about something like "...that the common trait of all melanerpes woodpeckers is black, white, and yellow plumage?" Just listing a bunch of species in the genus feels like boring filler. — Kaz (talk) 15:15, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

@Kazvorpal: Thank you for reviewing the article. The reason that all those species are mentioned is because I expanded five articles so it is a five article hook. That means five times as much for you to review, so move on to some other nomination if you wish! If you stick with it, you should look at each article in turn and see if they meet the DYK criteria. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:57, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

I don't need to look at each article, because my objection centers around "Content: interesting to a broad audience". A laundry list of species names is not going to interest many people at all. I suggest something more like "...that the common trait of all melanerpes woodpeckers is black, white, and yellow plumage?" — Kaz (talk) 00:16, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Sure, that might be a more interesting hook, but it hasn't got the necessary link to each of the five articles. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:20, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

But isn't the whole point for it to be interesting? It's not purely to promote a whole laundry list of articles generically. Or is that a part of the policy that I'm simply unaware of? — Kaz (talk) 19:28, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

As far as possible, hooks should be interesting to a general audience, but when you have multiple article hooks like this, the "interestingness" criterion may have to be forgotten. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:08, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Where is that, in the guidelines? As far as I know, it's the opposite of how DYK is prioritized. I've seen plenty of DYK with multiple hooks, but each hook has a separate function that is interesting, and usually one hook is primary. — Kaz (talk) 02:29, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

This page was created on May 4 and nominated on May 27 by a new DYK nominator. I will IAR and accept it despite the 3-week time lag. Long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. No QPQ needed for first-time nominator. However, there are several outstanding issues which must be addressed before this can proceed to the main page:
Writing style: The article is written in newspaper fashion, with short, one-line/one-paragraph updates of each stage of the fallout and investigation. IMO it needs to be fleshed out and rewritten as an encyclopedic piece, with a proper lead summarizing the subject. (This means adding more to the lead about the aftermath/fallout/investigations.) Even if the investigations are ongoing, this should not look like a work in progress. You should add some explanation of why the sting was conducted by the newspaper. There are also too many subsections and sub-subsections here; please combine the information in longer paragraphs and fewer sub-sections.
Abbreviations: I spelled out some of the abbreviations for political parties, but there are other abbreviations (PIL, FIR) that I have no idea what they mean. In fact, the lines in which these abbreviations appear are lifted straight from the titles of the source articles, a violation of WP:COPYVIO:
Source: 3 PIL filed in Calcutta High Court, ED to begin probe
Article: three PILs from the Indian Congress party and BJP were filed in Calcutta High Court
Source: "CBI files FIR against 12 Trinamool leaders for 'criminal conspiracy'
Article: CBI filed a FIR against 12 Trinamool leaders for "criminal conspiracy".
Source: "State took action against SMH Meerza"
Article: the state initiated disciplinary proceedings against SMH Meerza
Citations: I added numerous tags to the article asking for clarification of who or what is being talked about.
Hook: The suggested hook is factual, not hooky. Perhaps there is an unusual or surprising aspect in the article that you can fashion a hook around?
Yoninah (talk) 13:40, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

@Forceradical: thank you for the expansion. However, the additions need a copyedit for English grammar and spelling. Also, the first part of this sentence doesn't make sense: A adhaar card in the name of Santhosh Shankaran was issued, a receptionist was hired to take phone calls from a phone number listed in a specially created webpage.
Did a newspaper really run a sting operation in order to boost its sales? That would make a better hook than the ones above. Yoninah (talk) 13:20, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

- Length, Date, QPQ, and Earwigs check. However, from one of the sources, the newspaper is described as "accommodated to annexation" which is not clear considering the article and hook state that the paper was opposed to the overthrow of the former Kingdom which from my understanding was done to help facilitate annexation. Also, the image has no information about its date of publication or author. Being that this individual lived past 1923 (died in 1935) it is entirely possible that the image was published after 1923 and that the photographer lived beyond 1947 which means that the image might still be covered by copyright. Mifter Public (talk) 21:48, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Remove image from hook. I believe the photograph dates to the early 1900s or the 19th century given the age of Nāwahī in the photograph compared to her photograph in the 1890s group photograph and it is in the same style as the one made of her husband also from the Hawaii State Archives who died in 1896. I will look into it a bit more.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:18, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
@Mifter Public: Add some sources and tweaked the sentence a bit. The date was also wrong in retrospect. I believe the "accommodated to annexation" refers to the newspaper's stance post 1898, but it was founded to promote Hawaiian independence and protest annexations since that was the overarching political stance of the Republic of Hawaii government. Also it is written that way because of the way the opposition article is titled. I suggest ALT1.

New, long enough. This one will unfortunately need some serious work, Gerda Arendt. Bach-Cantatas is not a reliable source, as best I can tell. It is prepared by someone who is a self-proclaimed enthusiast of the topic, but I can find no mention that they're an authority on the subject. The portions of the text currently cited to Bach-Cantatas need alternative cites. Additionally, this needs a copy-edit. Some glaring issues that popped out at me: the first sentence of "Career" is convoluted with many clauses interrupting the flow of the sentence; many sentences begin with "In DATE" and no comma separating the dependent clause from the independent clause. Comma#Separation_of_clauses explains, although I just had to correct the same type of comma error I'm pointing out here in the article about commas. There appear to be some other comma errors as well, such as using a comma when none is needed to separate Siegmund Nimsgern and Gustav Leonhardt in a list. Commas are only needed in lists of three or more. Could you either copy-edit this yourself or ask someone else to do it? I'd normally do it but my prelim exams are in a week, so my time is short; I can handle it in two weeks if no-one's done it by then. Since the hook is currently cited to the unreliable source, I'll hold off on reviewing the hook until you change the sourcing. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 03:47, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Please look at six featured articles with a source review to see that reviewers found several sources not reliable, but had no problems with Bach Cantatas (BWV 172, 22, 165, 4, 161, 125). Or, as Drmies once said: "a recoding is a recording", and they better represented at Bach Cantatas, with choir members and orchestra players listed, than at Amazon and WorldCat, who also don't have these early recordings by NDR, for example. - O dear, how many commas ;) - I will look at the commas in the article etc, but possibly not today, RL. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:39, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: The site has been cited by multiple scholars and works in the field, eg Claudia Jensen and John Potter.

Thank you. Of the biographical information, only the short section on her studies is taken from the site, for (at least so far) lack of other information.

Comment: Trying not to have a promotional-sounding hook

Created by SNUGGUMS (talk). Moved to mainspace by IndianBio (talk). Nominated by Feminist (talk) at 15:03, 15 May 2017 (UTC).

I personally don't think that's a particularly interesting hook compared to something like this: "Did you know that copies of Katy Perry's album Witness will be distributed with tickets for its accompanying tour?" (see [7]). Also, while I am the original article creator, IndianBio is the one who moved it to mainspace. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:52, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

I've thought of using something like this, but such a hook may sound promotional to some editors (promotes the tour), and DYK in general is quite strict with such hooks. I'll leave this up to the reviewer to decide. Also, I think DYK credits the editor who did the most work, even though you technically didn't move this to mainspace. f e minist 15:56, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

I think the ALT1 suggested by Snuggums really works. The original hook is pretty basic as its the same kind of schtick all pop stars say. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 16:42, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Some wording (including this very hook) is way too close to the source. Compare "issued a fatwa against Prime Minister Narendra Modi" to "who issued a ‘fatwa’ against Prime Minister Narendra Modi" and "Barkati was accused of solemnising the marriage of a Muslim boy with a transgender girl" to "of solemnising the marriage of a boy with a transgender". Another issue is that the article has a quotation for "special prayers", but it would only be a true quotation if it said "special Osama prayers" because that is what the source exactly says. What does "citing that they were doing it from the British period" even mean? The biggest issue that I see here is that the entire article is negative things about the person. Are there not any positive things or alternative viewpoints? SL93 (talk) 03:04, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

This fact is certainly interesting and probably would make a good DYK. However, there are a few wording issues with the article, although I fixed some of the ones in the mummy paragraph. The fact about 3 mummies is sourced, but source 16 does not mention Pichu Pichu as far as I could tell (there may be something I missed). The image needs to be cropped to 100x100 pixels. I also think the wording of the hook could be improved, and I suggest the following alternate:

New enough. Long enough. Can't see where the specific hook fact is cited at the end of a a sentence in the article. The article is mostly about other troop deployments in the UK and other countries, and needs more specific content. Earwig returns " Violation Suspected 86.1%". For example, the source has "Operation Temperer is a plan to deploy troops to support police officers in key locations following a major terrorist attack. It was put into effect for the first time following the Manchester Arena bombing." and the article, "Operation Temperer is a British government plan to deploy troops to support police officers in key locations following a major terrorist attack. It was put into effect for the first time on 23 May 2017 following the Manchester Arena bombing." This represents a serious copyright violation, and it is not the only copyvio issue.

I do not think the expansion of this article is large enough. I can't be sure as DYKcheck is not working properly for me for some unknown reason, but I do have a concern here. The hook is cited, backed up in the source, but a little dry if you don't know why Malaya and Malaysia are different. While you're at it, filling out some of the reference information (I had no idea the hook source was the Straits Times) and adding an inline citation to the last standalone sentences of the Cause and Aftermath sections would be very good idea. No QPQ needed — you have four DYK credits total with the last one coming in January 2009, so it's great to see you come back! Raymie (t • c) 06:56, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Arm & Hammer Soda

... that Austin Church and John Dwight were the first to manufacture bicarbonate of soda in America and first to use the Arm & Hammer trademark logo (pictured) for selling baking soda?
Sources

Ref is Williams of book Vintage marketing that reads on page 66, Dr. Church joined with his brother-in-law, John Dwight, and in 1847 the pair began manufacturing baking soda in Dwight’s Massachusetts kitchen. John Dwight & Co. became the first company to make and sell baking soda in the United States. Prior to this, baking soda was still being imported from England.

Ref is Rice, Randall Peter of book Beyond The Bottom Line that reads on the bottom of page 55, Church & Dwight was founded in 1846 by Dr. Austin Church and his brother-in-law, John Dwight. The company began as a seller of baking soda through New York grocers. The Arm & Hammer trademark came from another Church family business, Vulcan Spice Mills.

Ref is inline newspaper clipping of 6 January 1947 of Alton Evening Telegraph-page 4, titled What is the origin of the Arm & Hammer trademark? - that reads, Q. What is the origin of the arm and hammer trade-mark used on boxes of baking soda. A.The firm of Church and Sons was established by Dr. Austin Church and two sons to produce soda in about 1846. One of the sons had owned the Vulcan Spice Mills which had the arm and hammer trade-mark. This was adopted by the new firm.
