Instructions for nominators[edit]

Shortcut

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 or it became a good article (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.

In the current nominations section find the subsection for the date on which the article was created or on which expansion began (or, if a new Good Article, the date on which it became a GA), not the date on which you make the nomination.

How to review a nomination[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.

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.

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.

Articles created/expanded on October 12[edit]

Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage

5x expanded by DBigXray (talk). Self-nominated at 11:27, 12 October 2019 (UTC). co-nom DiplomatTesterMan (talk)

  • Symbol possible vote.svg @DBigXray: If the AfD closes, this will be very close to ready. The expansion is large enough and new enough, and a QPQ is present. I advise against ALT1 because the topic isn't very well known outside India. The Firstpost source for the hook is OK and backs the hook claims but a bit thin of an article. I have done some copyediting myself. The following is a list of specific article issues that need resolution:
  • There is a [better source needed] (lede paragraph 3) and a [clarification needed] ("Charts", sentence 1) in this article.
  • The sentence beginning "The music producer is" lacks an inline citation, which is needed as it is the last sentence of the paragraph.
Credit to you, this is a very good revamp, but the AfD must close "keep" for this to be worthy of consideration. Raymie (t • c) 03:57, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
ALT0 goes against the WP:DYKHOOK rule of "If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way.". For ALT1; Kapoor was clean shaven in at least the 2010 film Milenge Milenge; pics here. We cant have false facts as hook.
Why don't you suggest a hook on how the song is among the most viewed Youtube video? Oh wait; that's false too.
Then why dont you make a hook on how its been on charts? Oh wait; those aren't credible enough to back with WP:RS and WP:CHARTS.
Why dont you just give opinion like lets say xyz non-notable blogwriter considers the songs to very notable? Wait again; that's not what hooks are for. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:26, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
  • This song isn't about Shahid Kapoor it is about Kabir Singh. The hook sounds like Kapoor literally turned alcoholic and broke up with his wife. In the article it says "Shahid Kapoor is shown as trying to move on in his life but he was unable to forget the memories of his love Preeti" we should not mention his name rather change it to his stage name Kabir. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk (We are the champions, my friends) 19:18, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
  • The concerns above make me very worried indeed. (If it doesn't show, this isn't my topic area.) They call into question the suitability of ALT0 and the accuracy of ALT1 (and its source). @Dharmadhyaksha and CAPTAIN MEDUSA: is there more information that might be useful to me, or any suggestions to be made of the nominator? Raymie (t • c) 22:24, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
  • There are multiple issues with this article including The song was reported as topping the music charts in July 2019 and was one of the top ten viewed songs of the world on YouTube. however the source says the song got 20 million views within 24 hours. Kiara Advani plays the role of Preeti or Preety. The second paragraph on Music Video says Kiara Advani who played the role of Preety, Kabir's love interest then later in the sentence it says after getting separated from Preeti. The article title is not in italic however name in the article is italic but infobox is not.___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk (We are the champions, my friends) 12:14, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
  • The AFD has now closed as keep. @Dharmadhyaksha: can you propose a new hook since ALT0 has BLP issues and ALT1's accuracy has come into doubt? Raymie (t • c) 17:37, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Also pinging the original nominator DBigXray. Raymie (t • c) 21:31, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
  • I suggest you familiarize yourself with the DYK process before !voting "oppose" or "strong oppose" on yet another DYK nomination. Dee03 15:00, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Dee03, may-be the volume of my net contributions (which is about five times that of your's) or my net contributions in DYK-space or a comparison of our number of GAs, will let you know about my familiarity? Or, may-be, you need to know about how fly-by people express their discontent over this domain, when they are not the primary reviewer? That being said, I admire your battleground-attitude. Ta, ∯WBGconverse 15:21, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
  • I have no interest in comparing my contributions with you. I have a life outside Wikipedia, a busy one at that. I suggest you strike off the "battleground attitude" remark unless you explain how I displayed "battleground attitude". Dee03 15:24, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Figures. Dee03 15:26, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
Symbol redirect vote 4.svg In a bid to get this nomination back in line and because a quality hook seems to be the missing ingredient, I'm proposing an ALT2 and asking for a real, serious DYK review. I would also like to ask DBigXray about something I noticed: the "Reception" quotes from India Today and The Statesman are awfully close to each other (offbeat, sad-romantic). What's going on there? Raymie (t • c) 17:32, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
ALT2: ... that while critics praised Arijit Singh's voice in "Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage", the song's lyrics received a mixed reaction? Raymie (t • c) 17:32, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
IMHO both "offbeat" and "sad romantic" are over used cliche words in Indian media. both are seperate media houses and I would consider it a coincidence. Thanks for the ALT, I had been busy with the AfD, followed by Diwali celebration. DBigXrayᗙ 17:57, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
@DBigXray: Happy Diwali! To incorporate this into one discussion, Xray had DiplomatTesterMan suggest some alternate hooks, which I've reproduced here with light copyediting (numbers changed to accommodate my ALT2):
I'm not a fan of ALT4 as the name is not familiar to people outside of India (myself included). ALT3/3a isn't bad, and neither is ALT5. ALT6 seems subjective in the "did well" and has an odd pairing, but the News18 source reveals an ALT7 I really like and that won't have fictional universe problems: Raymie (t • c) 18:25, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
Yes, in terms of the fictional universe problem, ALT 7 is one of the cleanest. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 06:29, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg A full review is still needed here as it has been several weeks since the last comments. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:51, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi @DBigXray: I am just starting to read this article, and I am a bit confused. I will admit that I am not familiar with articles about chart-topping songs, so I may just be missing something, or misunderstanding. What confuses me is that the first para in the 'Music video' section says "The music video was released on 19 June 2019 by T-Series on YouTube, receiving 20 million views on the same day. It has been viewed more than 59 million times since the day of its release." The references are Youtube (which now shows 71,105,330 views), and Gaana.com and a Times of India article [3] (neither of which have any info about the number of views that I can see).
Then the last sentence in the 'Charts' section says "on the T-Series YouTube channel, the song had been streamed 96 million times within the first month of the film's release". The source for that sentence does have that number.
I realise that the verb is different - 'view' in the first instance, and 'stream' in the second. But is this really saying that the music video was streamed 96 million times by July 22 this year (the date of that source), but only viewed "more than 59 million times" (or more than 71 million to today's date)? That suggests that somehow Youtube can tell if the people streaming the video are actually watching it!
Please forgive me if I am misunderstanding because I don't understand this technological language, but I would like to be clear about whether the number in ALT7 is supported by the article and sources, since that seems the preferred hook - although perhaps some of the other ALTs are also acceptable - I will also look at them. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:43, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
  • While waiting for clarification on ALT7, I have struck the hooks that other editors have noted as inaccurate, awkward or not interesting to a broad audience, leaving 4 hooks to consider. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: RebeccaGreen, how about we all just let ALT7 be since there are so many different numbers (which all may be correct but the timeline and what they are referring to is a mess). Hope User:Raymie has no issues with this suggestion. DTM (talk) 11:26, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
  • @DiplomatTesterMan and DBigXray: OK, I have struck ALT7. Looking at the remaining three hooks, ALT2 and ALT3a are in the article and sourced. The source for ALT5 is clear, as the title of that review is "‘Kabir Singh’ music review: Likeable ballads in a booster shot of saccharine rock", but the words "saccharine rock" are not actually used in this article. Please could you add them, if you would like that hook to be considered? RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:02, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
  • I added the words "saccharine rock" into the body of the article. I missed this point when suggesting the hook. Thanks for pointing it out. DTM (talk) 06:31, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Symbol confirmed.svg Approving ALT2, ALT3a and ALT5. I don't have a preference among these, and will leave it to promoters to choose. (I have made a minor tweak to ALT5, changing " Kabir Singh 's songs" to "the songs in Bollywood film Kabir Singh ", as I found the former awkward in reference to a film, not a person.) The facts in these hooks appear in the article with citations to their sources immediately after them. The article overall was expanded to more than 5x its previous length within seven days of its nomination. It is long enough, neutral, well sourced, and there are no copyvio problems. A QPQ was done. Thanks for helping to finalise this, DTM. RebeccaGreen (talk) 07:40, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Added "the" before "Bollywood" in the updated ALT5. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:10, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but the article needs a copy-edit to smooth out the grammar. It is too long for me to edit now, but I did tidy up the lead. I removed sentences that didn't have to do with the song per se. There seems to be a discrepancy in the lead, as the first sentence says this is a song from the film, and the second sentence says a different song was sung in the film. Yoninah (talk) 17:17, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Yoninah, Thanks for the kind comment. That was a good catch. I have rectified the article to fix this discrepancy. I haven't yet seen the film, but my understanding is that the song is a part of the film album. In the film they have used a film version of the song with same tune but a small 2 word change in the lyrics. The article is about the song that is the part of the album, as that is what is hitting the charts. The album version of the song, was released along with a trailer of the film as a music video. In Indian film industry the song video forms an important and indispensable part of the song. Which is why there is a video section in the article and the lead included a one line summary of the video. One cannot say that it doesn't have anything to do with the song, as it is a part of this song. Also Pinging the co-nom DTM who has seen the film and can correct me if I made any mistake or overlooked something. Yoninah please do not proceed until we hear from DTM. regards. DBigXrayᗙ 17:43, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
@DBigXray: but you're linking in the first sentence to the film, not the album. Yoninah (talk) 22:29, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Yoninah, The Kabir_Singh#Soundtrack is currently a section of the film article, and doesn't yet have its own article, so...DBigXrayᗙ 22:53, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
@DBigXray: I rewrote the lead again, and put the second song in a note, but it's not clear at all. Usually a soundtrack album has songs that were sung in the film. You're saying that this song was called something different and sung by someone else, then appeared on the soundtrack album under a different name and different singer? You might have to add more prose to the Production section to explain all this. Yoninah (talk) 23:11, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Yoninah, " Usually a soundtrack album has songs that were sung in the film.", indeed, that is usually the case, but often the soundtrack album contains 2-3 (even 4 or more) other versions of a popular song, with minor differences such as female version, soft version, remix version, unplugged version, etc etc. The movie doesn't contain all these versions yet they are a part of the soundtrack album and help to increase the selling of the albums and subsequently helps in promoting the film. There are two versions of this song, and both the lead and the article clarifies this. Can you point me what exactly you would like to see that is missing. DBigXrayᗙ 23:18, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Yoninah, I have seen the movie and I can confirm that whatever I said above is true. I have made few more necessary changes in the article to reduce the confusion between the 2 versions. IMHO this is now ready. Please do check and let me know if you would like to have anything more. If not you may proceed. thanks for reviewing this. DBigXrayᗙ 08:15, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @DBigXray: Before I look at anything, the grammatical problems are still there. I think you should apply at WP:GOCE before nominating anything here. Yoninah (talk) 11:19, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
OK, I have asked GOCE. DBigXrayᗙ 11:24, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment I would just like to point out that this article is in Indian English. I am not very familiar with that variety, but I did not see anything in this article that I didn't also see in the sources. I think that the grammatical questions are largely a matter of WP:ENGVAR. RebeccaGreen (talk) 00:21, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
Indeed, this article is in Indian English that I speak. If the concerns above are due to the variations then they should not be changed. Yoninah can you point a few examples behind your last statement. I would be able to check if that is indeed a concern or just a valid difference in the language versions. DBigXrayᗙ 09:02, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
I see that Yoninah has yet to reply, but there are indeed grammatical issues that I believe cross language variants. For example, the second paragraph under Production has a number of problems: the first sentence starts with "Song" and uses an ampersand for "and". The second sentence is about a different version of the song entirely—was it, too, recorded in the same place and mixed and mastered by the same person?—and needs significant work. The article doesn't mention the length of the original version in the prose (it should), so having the length of the alternate version is a bit odd in this context. The final sentence is makes no sense (and the source isn't any better, with its "no music usage in the initial bit")—while I suspect it means that the instrumental accompaniment doesn't get started until after the singing has begun, this isn't at all clear, and "lacking music" makes no sense since a vocal line is, by definition, music. Under the circumstances, I'd delete the sentence unless a clearer source can be found, or the song is listened to and a clearer description of its opening can be made. The first paragraph under Music video also has issues, with the number of views described as "over 59 million" and "over 70 million"; while both are true, it's confusing to list any but the highest of those, and that final sentence needs work. I recommend taking Yoninah's advice: the backlog at WP:GOCER is not so very long, and I echo her recommendation that you submit this there for a copyedit. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:47, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
BlueMoonset, it has already been submitted for copyedit on 4 December 2019 (here). Other points noted. DTM (talk) 08:28, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Swami Chakrapani

Created by Harshil169 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Hooks are okay and cited, although the first ones use of Dawood Ibrahim twice seems a bit redundant. Age of the article is good. However the article is templated for copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. In addition for a biographical article, very little basic information (birth date, birth place, education, ect.) is present in the article, in fact the article seems to solely deal with the controversies that Chakrapani has been involved with rather than Chakrapani himself. The lead section of the article presents information such as Dawood Ibrahim and fake baba which, although clarified later on in the article, would probably be unfamiliar and confusing to many DYK readers who are not acquainted with the history and terms used in India. This is a good start but the article needs some tiding up to do before I would feel confident okaying it for the DYK section in the main page. Inter&anthro (talk) 10:10, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment my apology, I forgot to mention that at the time of this edit the nominator has not listed any other DYK that they have reviewed. As this is not Harshil169's first DYK per WP:QPQ I think they need to review another unrelated DYK for this one to be considered. There are some criteria where WP:QPQ does not apply, either way I encourage to nominator to look into it. Inter&anthro (talk) 10:17, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
 Comment: @Inter&anthro: this is my first DYK nomination. I don’t know much about DYK. Please guide me.— Harshil want to talk? 11:13, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
@Harshil169: I'm pretty sure Weeping Jesus statue in Mumbai, which is actually on the DYK right now, was started by you. However if you did not nominate it, than you are correct and WP:QPQ will not apply for your first nomination. From here on after though it is expected that you review a least one nomination for every one of your new nominations. It is a policy to ensure editors contribute to the broader DYK project than just nominating their own article again and again, that's all. Inter&anthro (talk) 11:24, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
@Inter&anthro: No no. It was started by DBigXray. You can check the talk page. — Harshil want to talk? 12:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
(responding to ping) Good Lord ! Nether the Nominator @Harshil169: nor the reviewer @Inter&anthro: felt it necessary to read WP:QPQ despite linking it thrice on this page. Had any of you actually read that, then you would have known that nominators with less than 5 DYKs are QPQ exempt. And Harshil here has only 1 DYK credit. DBigXrayᗙ 15:56, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
I had always been told after your first nomination you were expected to review and another editor's nomination hence forth. For your information I DID read WP:QPQ, hence why I said "There are some criteria where WP:QPQ does not apply, either way I encourage to nominator to look into it" although I wasn't sure what constituted a point for DYK. No worries though, I've struck out the original comment. Inter&anthro (talk) 16:04, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
Inter&anthro FWIW, On the DYK toolbox on the top right there is a link for QPQ Check, reviewers are expected to make use of that to check if QPQ is needed or exempt. If you think about it, there is a common sense reason why noobs should not be asked to review DYKs. Take the example of Harshil above, he clearly said "I Dont know much about DYK", so it is not fair to force and ask someone who lacks experience, to do something that he might not be able do properly. After 5 DYKs a reasonable experience comes which is why community has added a 5 DYK rule for QPQ. If someone asked Inter&anthro then it was not per the existing consensus. There isnt really much to do about DYKs but whatever there is to do should be done with utmost sincerity. (we do not want COPYVIOs or Fringe theories or AfD worthy pages on the mainpage.) In conclusion, the miss, where the reviewer failed to do a QPQ check using the tool above, must not be repeated. cheers. DBigXrayᗙ 16:53, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
  • @DBigXray: my apology about that, I promise it won't happen again, I'll keep WP:QPQ in mind next time I review a DYK, @Harshil169: you can ignore my second comment, I've struck it out, I'm sorry about the confusion it caused, it was my mistake not yours. Inter&anthro (talk) 18:28, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Cool. @Harshil169: next time when you are nominating a DYK, remember to mention "QPQ Exempt" in the parameter "Reviewed", (instead of leaving it blank) until you are QPQ eligible. This will help to avoid the confusion like above. After 5 DYKs it will be expected that on the parameter "reviewed" you will add the link to the DYK page that you have reviewed.DBigXrayᗙ 06:10, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Sentences like these need more work: Chakrapani claimed that he wanted to turn car into an ambulance but after receiving threats from D-Company, had decided to set the car on fire; he wished of utilizing the wreckage in the construction of a toilet. The lead must be rewritten in a far less POV manner—how can we call him a saint in Wikipedia's voice?

  • @Yoninah: It looks like she thought Carla wasn't ready. The article I used as a source says that Jenifer was strongly opposed to Carla releasing a record and that she told that to Carla. And it mentions that the day after her victory Carla said that she was "too young" and wanted to "wait a few years" before releasing an album. Should I try to find some additional info? --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:19, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Yes, thanks. Yoninah (talk) 00:30, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
  • It's not that simple, I need some time. All the outlets are citing the same interview. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:48, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Moscow Connection: why don't you just add a sentence from the source, like: The day after her victory, Carla stated that she was "too young" and wanted to "wait a few years" before releasing an album? Yoninah (talk) 12:46, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: That's not just that. The sources talk about how fame can harm young people and explain that that is why The Voice Kids France winners don't get a recording contract, but a scholarship or scholarship money (I forgot). And there's another thing... Jenifer says "album", but she also mentions the single that Carla is planning to release and it looks like she doesn't approve. So it looks like Jenifer doesn't want Carla to release anything at all. (Actually, she seems to be ready to help Carla a bit anyway, but she doesn't approve.) And some sources (here's a good one) do say that she doesn't want her to release even a single. So I think I understood Jenifer correctly. And after saying that Jenifer is against Carla releasing a record, some sources say that Carla wants to release a single "no matter what".
    And, by the way, the single that Carla planned to release back in 2014 didn't see the light of day. There's a later interview where she explains that she couldn't find a song she liked. She also says that she likes to sing in English.
    I don't know how to put all this in the article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:43, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Moscow Connection: all I'm asking is that if you make a statement, follow it up with another sentence explaining or clarifying it. If the first sentence says Jenifer advised against releasing an album, the next sentence should say why, or what her thoughts were about the idea. Then a third sentence could say that nevertheless, Carla does want to release a single. We're just presenting facts; it's not up to us to interpret them. Yoninah (talk) 18:52, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
  • "What her thoughts were about the idea."
    — Okay, but I don't know how to put this... I will try now. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:55, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
  • I will now insert all the sources I could find, and then I'll see. I think the current version is okay. I will also add a quote from Jenifer who said "album". (I don't really get why Jenifer says "album" and it is interpreted as "any record, even a single", but I think French journalists know better.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:57, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Earwig says it's 78.8% likely a copyvio. This is mostly due to long quotes from the identified URL and some sections that aren't quotes but have similar word choices. I'd suggest the expander/nominator see if they can address this. Nominator took care of QPQ.

  • That's a valid concern, I'm trying to brainstorm another hook right now.

Erza Muqoli

Created by Moscow Connection (talk). Self-nominated at 23:59, 12 November 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg @Moscow Connection: Prose size 2796 B. I'm AGFing the foreign-language sources. I'd lean towards ALT1 because being voted no sounds a little too routine to be interesting... unless you want to rewrite that first-choice hook. Only two things needed to address: two sentences - "posted videos of her singing on the Internet" and "The entire album was written and composed by Vianney." - need inline citations attached to them. Most importantly, QPQ needed. I'd also recommend merging some one-sentence paragraphs. And yes, I'll give you time to work on the article. ミラP 00:56, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Reading through both hooks, ALT0 has potential, but it might need additional context or clauses for the benefit of non-French readers. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:42, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
What do you mean. How would you change it? --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:05, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
By the way, Gilbert Rozon is sort of a French version of Simon Cowell. But he resigned from all his posts. See his French Wikipedia article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:05, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
@Miraclepine: Could you look at the article now? (I must tell you there is still a slight problem with sourcing. If you want, I will just delete the sentence for now.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:05, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
@Moscow Connection: I'd say remove the sentence. It's sourced to YouTube and we should not use that stuff to source stuff in BLPs. After that, you're good. ミラP 20:09, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Done. (After the article disappears from the main page, I will try to find a better source.)
(Actually, the Républicain Lorrain article from September 2014 said that she was already a star on YouTube. It just didn't say that this was because Pascal Wéber had posted videos of her performances. So I think this minor problem could be disregarded per WP:NOTOR and WP:IAR. But, as a rule-abiding editor, I just had to point the problem out to you. And, after all, the article is going to be linked from the main page, it must be perfect.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:56, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
It has potential, my main concern is that Rozon may not be well-known to our non-French readers (personally I've never heard of him), so if he's going to be mentioned in a hook, I would suggest some context be added on who he is or how he's important. As for ALT2, it's really niche and again may not appeal to non-French readers. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:01, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
  • I have no idea who Rozon is, and it clearly didn't matter since she made the show despite the incident; it fails to meet DYK hook criterion of being interesting to a broad audience, so I have struck that hook. I think ALT2 might be workable if another fact was added to it (though it would have to be added to her article): that Kids United had three number one studio albums in a row while she was a member; the first is at this link], and the next two are linked to from that page. So here are two alternate hooks based on ALT1 and ALT2 respectively:
  • ALT3: ... that the singer Erza Muqoli was a founding member of the French child music group Kids United, which had three number one albums during her tenure?
  • ALT4: ... that the singer Erza Muqoli was a contestant on France's Got Talent and a member of the French child music group Kids United, which had three number one albums during her tenure?
I suppose "number one" could be replaced by "chart-topping", if desired. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:10, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
Follow-up: I have added the charting information to support these two hooks. Moscow Connection, there are bare URLs in footnote 9 and footnote 22 has significant formatting issues; these will need to be fixed before this nomination can be approved. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:10, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg @Goldsztajn: Welcome to DYK! This article does not currently meet the 1500-character prose minimum (1420 right now), so it will need additional expansion. As to other items: new enough; hook is cited to source, backed up and present in article; you are exempt from reviewing another article. An inline citation is needed in the "Awards and honors" section (and that probably should be honours for our British professor). This will meet standards, even on the thin side, if 80 more prose characters are added (WP:DYKCHECK will assist you) and the one section gets its citation. Raymie (t • c) 04:03, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

  • @Goldsztajn: thank you, that is better. But I took a look at the sources and think you're using WP:SYNTH here. One article says he's on the task force. The BBC article says the city retained its UNESCO status, but doesn't mention a task force at all. Yoninah (talk) 02:01, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

I'd like to suggest that the hook focus more on her as a person and her accomplishments/notability. Yoninah (talk) 20:53, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback, Yoninah.
The cited source ([4]) does quote Webber, “I left home by my own choice; there was a lot of drama in my family”; do you think we should add that to the article?
Alternatively:
ALT1 ... that Storme Webber is a two-spirit interdisciplinary artist who has been featured in four documentaries?
= paul2520 (talk) 15:25, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Paul2520: ALT1 is cute, but it doesn't really say anything about her. You could combine the mention of her being a two-spirit artist with a mention of some of the work she has done. The average reader (like me) will have no idea that she is LGBTQ by the term "two-spirit"; you could also explain what that means in your hook wording. Yoninah (talk) 00:01, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
@Yoninah: How are these?
ALT2 ... that interdisciplinary artist Storme Webber's The Casino combines archival photographs and storytelling with an art installation?
ALT3 ... that interdisciplinary artist Storme Webber's works include an ancestral mix tape, a combination of archival photographs and storytelling, and poetry?
I like the idea of adding ...two-spirit... before Storme Webber. Sure, maybe "the average reader" won't know what that means, but isn't that the point of the wikilink?
= paul2520 (talk) 02:38, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Yes, I agree. ALT2 could be improved by saying what The Casino is. ALT3 is on the way, though I would write it this way:
  • ALT3a: ... that the works of two-spirit interdisciplinary artist Storme Webber include an ancestral mix tape, which combines archival photographs, storytelling, and poetry?
  • But you have some really close paraphrasing here:
  • Source: Blues Divine, an ancestral mix tape and tribute, consists of a book of poems and accompanying soundtrack/audio book spoken in Webber's own voice.
  • Article: Blues Divine is an ancestral mix tape and tribute, which includes a poetry book accompanied by an audio book/soundtrack spoken in Webber's voice.
  • Yoninah (talk) 00:29, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I'm good with ALT3a. I also updated the article wording; can you review? = paul2520 (talk) 04:22, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
  • ALT2a ... that interdisciplinary artist Storme Webber's palimpsest The Casino combines archival photographs and storytelling with an art installation to tell a family history involving one of the oldest gay bars on the West Coast?
  • ALT3b: ... that the interdisciplinary works of two-spirit artist Storme Webber include an ancestral mix tape with spoken word poetry, and a palimpsest combining archival photographs and storytelling? --evrik (talk) 16:53, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
  • {{DYKtick}} Approving Alt 3a, though I am offering 3b as a choice for the promoter. --evrik (talk) 16:53, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg@Evrik: Hooks ALT3a and ALT3b are incorrectly combining two works. There is an ancestral mix tape that combines a poetry book with an audiobook, and a museum exhibit that combines archival photographs and storytelling with an art installation to record the history of The Casino. ALT2 could work if it adds something about what the Casino was. I was planning to get to this tomorrow. Yoninah (talk) 23:54, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
  • I redid 3b to separate the works. I also took a stab at 2, though if 2a is used, the article will have to be modified to explain what the casino is. --evrik (talk) 17:11, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
@Evrik and Yoninah: the article mentions that the Casino is "one of the oldest gay bars on the West Coast", citing [5]. = paul2520 (talk) 20:02, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Since "palimpsest" is the name of the exhibit, I don't understand why it's being used this way in the hooks. I suggest this alt:
  • @Paul2520: I would like to link The Casino, but it is redirecting to Double Header, and no mention is made of The Casino in the latter article. Yoninah (talk) 20:41, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, two of the four refs in that article mention The Casino as the night club in Double Header's basement. That article needs some expansion. I can do so, and possibly enough to include in the DYK? Can we tack it on as a nom, assuming I get it to reach the criteria? I'm thinking 5x expansion is totally doable... = paul2520 (talk) 21:08, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: Correct, but two of the four refs do & the article could easily be expanded. I could possibly do so tonight or this weekend. = paul2520 (talk) 21:20, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Paul2520: I think that's a great idea for a double hook. Go for it! Yoninah (talk) 21:22, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

  • evrik I started to work on this earlier. See User:Paul2520/sandbox. I realized quickly they were different bars, so a different article, rather than a redirect, should be created. We can collaborate, but I'm happy to put more time in it myself. = paul2520 (talk) 05:49, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: The Casino (Seattle) is now over the minimum prose size, and I believe it meets the rest of the DYK requirements. What's the next step? Can you review as part of this nom, or do I need to go through the regular DYK process for it? I would then modify the hook to be:
ALT2c: ... that two-spirit artist Storme Webber used several mediums to retell her family's experience at The Casino, one of the oldest gay bars on the West Coast?

  • "... Christmas Oratorio ..." is a WP:EGG link, it should be "... Christmas Oratorio ..." – I understand Gerda wants to promote "her" article on the first cantata of the oratorio, but a WP:EGG link in a DYK on the main page is not the way to do that. --Francis Schonken (talk) 05:31, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Image caption proposed for the DYK: reads very awkward, and is incorrect. The first page of Bach's manuscript of Jauchzet, frohlocket! BWV 248 I would be the "cover" of Bach Digital Source 2451 – the picture is the start of the music in Bach's autograph score (of the entire oratorio), found at Bach Digital Source 850 (BTW, this seems to be the "Quelle"/Source mentioned in the German reference article). The image caption should rather read something like this: "Johann Sebastian Bach's autograph score of the Christmas Oratorio". --Francis Schonken (talk) 05:31, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Starting at the end: the caption is too long for the Main page, we need to abbreviate, I tried differently - I don't want to promote the article because I wrote it, but because it's a GA (higher quality) and contains the image. I tried that in Christmas Oratorio, but it didn't stay.

Francis, you probably won't argue about Jauchzet, frohlocket being the beginning of the Christmas Oratorio. Perhaps someone with too much time (on Christmas Day or before) will notice that Christmas Oratorio doesn't use a single Bach Digital reference while Jauchzet, frohlocket! uses several, and perhaps fix that, and perhaps more of that article. Trying to please you:

Sorry, still the same, for me non-negotiable, problem: moving the WP:EGG link to the image is, let's say, "creative", but no less of a no-no. In other words: never, & please stop trying the WP:EGG trick. let's combine a slightly updated version of the text of ALT2, and a variant of the image caption I proposed above:

To link Jauchzet, frohlocket! to the cantata of the same name is no Easter egg, and to supply a link to the same substandard article twice is not in the interest of our readers, imho. I tried to say something for Christmas which isn't too Christmassy, but we can also word a hook about Bach Digital that has nothing to do with Christmas.

I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Eleanor Vadala. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:28, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
Re. "to supply a link to the same substandard article twice" – you're speaking in riddles, afaics neither ALT2 nor ALT3 link twice to the same article. On the other hand, ALT2 doesn't even link to the Wikipedia article on the composer of the Christmas Oratorio, which is another rather surprising fault of it.
The reference article ("Weihnachtsoratorium beliebteste Bach-Handschrift im Internet") speaks about "Weihnachtsoratorium" (Christmas Oratorio) and "Die sechs Kantaten des »Weihnachts-Oratoriums«" (The six cantatas of the »Christmas Oratorio« – my emphasis), not about the "first cantata of the Christmas Oratorio", as long as you try to link "the work of which the manuscript was most often visited on the web in December 2016", on which we have an article, to the Wikipedia article on "Part I of the Christmas Oratorio" instead, that is EGG linking. Jauchzet, frohlocket! is the incipit of the Oratorio as well as of its first cantata: the DYK proposal mentions the Oratorio, not its first cantata, thus neither image caption nor DYK text should link to the article on the first cantata, but to the article on the Oratorio. I can only conclude that you don't seem to grasp WP:EGG. I cleaned up the intro of the Bach cantata article recently, where I encountered a few EGG links (church cantata instead of church cantata; chorale cantata instead of chorale cantata), no need to ask who put them there I suppose? For the umtieth time, familiarize yourself with the diverse aspects of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking, including, but not limited to, MOS:LINKCLARITY and WP:EGG. Not so long ago you came complaining to my talk page that I applied MOS:LINKCLARITY correctly (sic)! It is about time, for the seasoned editor you are, that you adapt your editing style to established practice. You make your fellow-editors lose time and energy for something that is not acceptable, not only trying it once, or twice, or ten times, but trying it uncountable times (I include the times when I cleaned up your EGG links to "structure" articles where they should have plainly linked to the article on the composition), and then, when you are corrected, come back multiple times (on this page already three times for the same EGG) trying to have the unacceptable thing passed nonetheless. The answer is "no", and that is final as far as I'm concerned. Please stop coming back again with the same in yet another variation. Get acquainted with the applicable guidance and apply it henceforward, period.
Maybe best this DYK gets rejected, if this coming back with yet another variation of an unacceptable EGG doesn't stop. Enough time lost on this non-starter. --Francis Schonken (talk) 19:03, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: please read the wall of text (and the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking which is quite somewhat longer than the three paragraphs above), so that I never, ever again have to be confronted with your WP:EGG links. Thanks.
Reviewer, please reject this DYK proposal, I have quite enough of Gerda making others loose time. --Francis Schonken (talk) 23:58, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
Just passing by. How about ALT3 with a caption reading "First page of Bach's Christmas Oratorio manuscript, the cantata Jauchzet, frohlocket!"? Jmar67 (talk) 07:42, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
(ec) Francis, I assume in good faith that you are simply not familiar enough with DYK. I removed one of the image suggestions - which as explained will probably not even appear - for less confusion. Francis, while piped links should (of course) be as close to the target as possible in articles, DYK-hooks are a different story. On the Main page now ... that in Der Ring in Minden, the orchestra played at the back of the stage,
and the singers all turned towards it to listen to the music at the end? - with two links piped for brevity, less German, and approach to a general reader.
J, thank you for the offer, but that image caption is too long, and - again- this hok is not likely to get to the image slot. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:52, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Re. "On the Main page now ... that in Der Ring in Minden, the orchestra played at the back of the stage,... and the singers all turned towards it to listen to the music at the end?" – neither are WP:EGG links. Please familiarize yourself with the actual Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking guideline, and stop promoting idiocycracies in contravention of that guidance in true WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT style.
If the image isn't going to be used, meaning that the image caption containing the Bach link would not appear joined to the DYK text, that's one more reason to abandon this DYK, and every ALT proposed thus far.
Re. "I assume ... that you are simply not familiar enough with DYK" – please stop your attempts at insult, I'm familiar enough with DYK, thank you. --Francis Schonken (talk) 09:43, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

For clarity: I just had a look at Template:Did you know nominations/Der Ring in Minden: it took endless discussion, and more than 10 ALT proposals before the WP:EGG link of the original proposal (a symphony orchestra, my emphasis – indefinite article refers to no context) was changed to a non-EGG link (the orchestra, my emphasis – definite article refers to the context of the DYK text). @Gerda Arendt: please familiarize yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking, thanks.
This rather begs the question how familiar Gerda is with DYK "traditions": WP:EGG links are routinely rejected in DYK proceedings, as Gerda knows very well, why then does she continue to propose them in WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT style? --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:09, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

The image is the attention getter here. Without it the hook would be less interesting. Another caption idea: "Bach's Christmas Oratorio manuscript". The term "autograph" is irritating, albeit correct, because of the common connotation as a signature (Unterschrift, Autogramm). Jmar67 (talk) 13:14, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
(ec) I already proposed (above) "Bach's Christmas Oratorio (autograph)" as image caption
The last image caption I proposed (above) is "Autograph of Bach's Christmas Oratorio"
Then I said (above) that I'd think an absent image caption, i.e. failing to deliver the "Bach" link somewhere near the DYK text, would be unacceptable.
So, in what universe would one see "Bach's Christmas Oratorio manuscript" as an improvement? Thanks for the suggestion, but doesn't help much, also, as Gerda already said, repeatedly, that there's quite likely not going to be an image (so also not an image caption). I keep with my suggestion to end the DYK request, no more time sink please. --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:40, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

"manuscript" instead of "autograph": there are seven manuscripts which qualify as "Bach's Christmas Oratorio manuscript", see Bach Digital Work page 0314 – there are eight documents marked as "original source" ("original source" meaning that it is a document which Bach is known to have prepared for his own use), the last of these, Bach Digital Source 25367 is however a print, so not a manuscript. Leaves seven "Bach's Christmas Oratorio manuscript"s. The German article used as reference for the DYK hook proposals thus far says "Bach-Handschrift" (i.e. lit. "Bach-handwriting", "manuscript in Bach's hand"), for which only one of Bach's seven extant manuscripts of the Christmas Oratorio qualifies, that is the autograph manuscript, RISM No. 467003200 (=Bach Digital Source 850; =D-B Mus.ms. Bach P 32). That's the one in the image proposed for the Main Page DYK. The other six manuscripts of Bach's Christmas Oratorio are only partial autographs. So, no, "manuscript" is confusing in this context: at least lacks the precision expected from an encyclopedia (and certainly its main page). So, get over it: "autograph" is the correct term, and for those not acquainted with that meaning of the word (which is nonetheless in every dictionary, even the simplest one), there's a link to the autograph (manuscript) article. Again, I think it best to have no DYK, rather than a sloppy one which fails to name things by their correct name, links confusingly, and whatnot that has already been proposed thus far in this DYK. --Francis Schonken (talk) 07:58, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you. Still confusing to me at the moment. Jmar67 (talk) 11:50, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Also, the hook could conceivably run any day from 25 December to 6 January. Jmar67 (talk) 13:29, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
True, but that's not what is being proposed. Gerda could take up that suggestion if she still thinks the Bach Digital article is worth a DYK. I've come to see it primarily as a time sink, which I would like to see stopped. --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:40, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Proposing a new ALT for the Bach Digital DYK: no image (only causes confusion, see above), not bound to Christmas Day (also problematic, see above), or even the Christmas period, no problematic links (see above), nor foreign-language titles or extraneous terminology (see above), and different content & source for the DYK hook (this time the source is in English, also an advantage to avoid confusion):

--Francis Schonken (talk) 08:55, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Lovely, thank you Francis. I tried to get this for Christmas, because there are usually only few, and the few about hymns and such. A digital website would have been a nice change. I'll write about about another hymn then. Yesterday, I listened to Jauchzet, frohlocket!, and the background of every single page was the upper half of the iconic image. I recommend to find some other image for ALT4, just because it's more attractive. I rarely nominate without an image to attracts a revewer, knowing that in 7 of 8 cases it will not be taken. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Re. "other image": don't think this very well possible: whatever manuscript image is not a very apt illustration (these manuscripts can be found elsewhere, see "websites of libraries" below, and e.g. also IMSLP now often showing such manuscript facsimiles in a resolution many times higher than a DYK image can do). A screen shot of the website (if this could be done without copyright issues) would even be more absurd, while the detailed info (which makes the Bach Digital website specific) would of course be unreadable on a thumbnail image. A photograph of Uwe Wolf might be possible, but none seems available, and would probably need a large caption to connect it to the ALT4 hook. If this fails to attract a reviewer: it is no top priority of mine to get this on Wikipedia's Main Page. Neither is "credit" (as you suggested above) much of a priority to me: what is, is trying to avoid half-boiled info which is no credit to the encyclopedia appearing on Main Page. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:18, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
The reference does not say that (?). It cites BD as an example of an online database. And it is not particularly surprising that an online search is a first point of entry. Also, I would not hyphenate "Bach-scholarship". Jmar67 (talk) 11:31, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
The clue is further down the page: "They [=Bach Digital and its predecessor since 2008 merged into Bach Digital] have become the preferred initial source reference tool for most Bach scholars." ("... have become ..." contrasting with the opening sentence of the section "The usual starting point for Bach scholars has been to consult [printed sources X, Y an Z (a few mentioned in footnote 4)]". --Francis Schonken (talk) 11:54, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
"They" refers to "online databases", not BD. Jmar67 (talk) 12:07, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Yes, "online databases" which "... allow filtering by scribe, approximate date of copying, Bach's compositions contained in the source, ..." and "... also offer high-resolution color scans of Bach's original manuscripts held in public libraries in Germany", which only applies to www.bachdigital.de and www.bach.gwdg.de – the second being the (former) Göttinger Catalogue which is now fully merged into Bach Digital. So, indeed Bach Digital, and nothing else, for the "first point of entry" for most Bach-scholarship. Further on in the same section Tomita mentions:
  • websites of libraries (Berlin State Library, Bavarian State Library and SLUB Dresden), which indeed have high-resolution scans (only of what is in their own library though), but no search facilities allowing to "filter by scribe", etc... – Bach Digital is a portal (with such filtering by scribe etc) giving access to scans made available by such other libraries (and to such scans of what is in the Bach Archive itself).
  • RISM, which has neither scans, nor allows much detailed filtering
Tomita does not mention his own web-database (Bach Bibliography) which does, however, not deal with manuscripts or scribes, nor with scans.
I stand by my ALT4 hook, it summarizes correctly material found in Tomita's "Locating sources" section of the Research Companion book. --Francis Schonken (talk) 21:31, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Tomita may indeed believe ALT4 but he does not state it that way. My suggestion at the moment would be:
ALT5: ... that academic Yo Tomita cites the advantages of the Bach Digital portal website over printed reference works as the first point of entry for Bach scholarship.
Jmar67 (talk) 07:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Yeah, but this fails the WP:NPOV policy (and should for this reason never appear on main page or elsewhere in Wikipedia): Tomita also cites disadvantages ("... the amount of detail available in online databases is limited ..." etc). Also "... the advantages ..." (my emphasis), as if the advantages cited by Tomita are the only ones in existence, is a WP:NPOV no-no. A DYK hook in the sense "... Yo Tomita cites advantages and disadvantages of ..." falls flat, and is hardly an interesting DYK imho: the interesting point is imho the increased usage (i.e. what happens in reality, as opposed to possibly merely theoretical advantages and disadvantages), in scholarship, of the Bach Digital web resource, which more or less marginalises printed sources as first point of entry. But again, I'm spending too much time on a DYK I think neither essential, nor a big asset to Wikipedia. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:18, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
What I would think an interesting DYK for Wikipedia's Main Page is, for instance, something like "... that autograph not only means a collectible signature of a celebrity, but also a manuscript written by the author of its content?", but current DYK rules are incompatible with that kind of DYK hook: these rules are rather about giving credit to individual editors than to the Wikipedia encyclopedia as a whole – so be it. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:56, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Template:Did you know nominations/Autograph (manuscript) - we will see. If it doesn't work, you could find a hook for Bach Digital mentioning autograph (linked), and you will be pleasantly surprised how many views the article will get even when not bold. DYK is not about editor credit, and to say so discredits the efforts of people busy in the project to educate. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:20, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:41, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
Well, the most official source says "Adolf Lohmann nach Albert Curtz, 1659 nach Ps 19", so not even giving a year for Lohmann but Curtz.

Sorry, I was busy elsewhere. This also mentions Curtz as the author. This does not even mention Lohmann. Carus the same. The official version (Gotteslob) is Lohmann after Curtz after Psalm 19, and others - Wikipedia or else - make of that what they want.

  • Symbol question.svg Article is big enough and new enough. No copyright infringement detected. the 14th daughter is called " Jin Bihui" and also "Yoshiko Kawashima" causing confusion. This need to be explained more clearly, as I expect that it is correct. However a more serious problem is a lack of references on the first and last paragraph of the "Life" section, and none at all in the "Family" section. Original hook is in the article and has references. It is short enough, but is awkwardly worded -- perhaps swap Japanese and his daughter. Hook alt1 is not really in the article as the article does no mention if or how he was involved in a Manchu state. This will need clarification. Hook alt2 is in the article, and has a reference. AGF it is OK. It is short enough and interesting. Nominator has only done 4 nominations for DYK so far, so no QPQ is needed.

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Vicunab, there are a few issues with this nomination. The first is that it was nominated fourteen days after the article was moved to mainspace from your user area, rather than the seven days required for new nominations. The second is that the hook is way too long at 289 characters; it needs to be fewer than 200 characters, must be interesting to a wide audience, and should be punchy if at all possible. Two-sentence hooks won't fly: the hook must start with an ellipsis and end in the question mark, as if it were ending part of a sentence beginning with "Did you know ...". (They also almost invariably start with a "that" after the ellipsis.) I think, given that you're a new Wikipedian, we can stretch the lateness of your nomination by those seven days. The hook, however, definitely needs fixing. Please submit a new, much shorter alternate hook next to the "ALT1" header I've added above below your original hook, which I have struck. Thank you very much, and best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:20, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

The Financial Times hailed it as a veritable triumph of liberalism over populism. The New York Times and Bloomberg News reported it as a backlash against populism and a rebuke to nationalism. The Guardian praised it as a victory for progressive values, while the Washington Post claimed it as a reckoning for political strongmen, whose hold on power has an expiry date" Europpblog (London School of Economics)

It told me that you wanted that knowledge promoted, and that you thought the DYK rules were against it. I believe that it could have worked, but won't pursue it against your will. Until your last comment I thought that you could just unwatch, and we make it possible.

I don't see a hook in the nominated article.

QPQ needed. @JGHowes: I am going to make my own suggestion for a hook. Ping me when you have a QPQ: Raymie (t • c) 20:18, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
That's certainly better writing, but aren't we looking for things differentiting? The way this school opened and operated for its first few years is commonplace. When a district adds a new school, there are several ways to handle the expansion. Whereas details like this are important to the local community, they are not enlighting on the entire history of the school. It seems to me these details, if topically encyclopedic and not just news, would be more pertinent to the school district article. Expanding the school district is much more about the district than any individual school, even a new one. Frequently bonding for new construction is not limited to just building one new school. There are generally at least upgrades, if not expansion or more new construction to other schools. We don't have articles on any but the high schools. John from Idegon (talk) 21:30, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
I set out to write this article because it was the only red linked high school listed at Pasco County Schools and it seemed intriguing that a new school of considerable size (2,000+ pupils) would be built at the outset as two schools in one, at least temporarily.

@Coffee: I'll leave this for someone else to fully recheck as I no longer have access to newspapers.com. The main things I see leftover are the above points plus:
  • The word "eventually" needs to be dropped per WP:EDITORIALIZING for neutrality in "The case eventually ended with Sweet's acquittal"
  • There are also references that do not back up some of the claims while also having issues of WP:REFBOMB.

Otherwise, the hook is fine as I was sent a copy of the article in the Resource Exchange. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:48, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

I am finding the hook confusing. Kaschlan is named after castellan, which, reading the text, refers to the top card. It's not named after the QH, right? Also, while it does appear to have given rise to the idioms, I'm not clear why? Was there something about the gameplay that is somehow related to being hungry or old? It appears something is being lost in translation. Suggest keeping it simple:
ALT1: ... that the card game of Kaschlan, named after its trump, became so popular it was used in the Prussian idiom "my stomach's playing Kaschlan with my bowels"?

Symbol question.svg Fascinating film and story, on excellent sources, French sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. There are so many great things one might say for a hook just in the first paragraph of the lead: no dialogue, black&white, horror, - how about some of that? Keep in mind that the reader needs to know rather soon that is a film. Did you not link Merhige on purpose? - My reactions to the proposed hooks: #0 leaves me cold, #1 is for Manson fans while others (around the globe) may not know who that is, #2 is one I'd approve if you don't want to spend time on the suggestion, #3 doesn't tell me "film", and I'm tired by reaching trilogy. - Great work, nice to meet you, - now let's show it at it best.

KPSC (FM)

5x expanded by Raymie (talk). Self-nominated at 20:29, 12 December 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Article expansion start date and filing date okay. Article length is sufficient and expansion factor is 9x, more than enough. Article is sourced, neutral, and no evident instances of copyvio seen. Hook length is okay at 173 characters, hook neutrality is not an issue. QPQ done (half as an added review, half as a contribution).
But I'm a little concerned about some factual matters. The hook says that Palm Springs High School "sold" the station to USC, but that is not supported by fn 4, which uses the words "giving" and "turned over" – unless I missed it, I see no indication that money was exchanged. The article says that KPSH was the only station playing album oriented rock in the Palm Springs area. But a) I find that hard to believe, since that was a very popular format in the late 1970s/early 1980s, and b) fn 2 doesn't really support that claim; it can just as easily be interpreted as expressing the writer's view that KPSH was the best of the album oriented rock stations in the area. The article implies that the station stayed at 10 watts throughout its time with the high school, but fn 3 states that it was at 180 watts by 1985. Relatedly, the article would benefit by indicating how far the high school station signal could be heard – both fn 2 and fn 3 give the areas that could hear it during each of those periods. It's also worth mentioning what fn 3 says about the high school students themselves not having many opportunities to listen to it.
Another improvement is that Repeater#Radio repeater should be linked to, as many readers may not be familiar with what a repeater station is. Also I'm not sure if the KUSC logo should be at the top of the article; maybe an old KPSH-FM can be found instead? The high school era of the article is more interesting to the reader than the college repeater era. And I don't think the {{main|KUSC}} usage at the end adds anything; KUSC is already linked to in the first paragraph and that should be sufficient.
So some of these issues need to be addressed before this nomination can move further. Wasted Time R (talk) 22:22, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Wasted Time R,
  • You do seem to be correct, so I've changed it over to "turned over". I found a second source in support of this that had not been identified because it misspelled the call letters (as "KPHS"), as well as more information on prior USC attempts to build a Palm Springs-area station (they had the year before filed an application for a brand new license).
  • I've removed the note about being the only AOR station. The 1980 Broadcasting Yearbook lists the station as MOR for some reason (with an inaccurate sign-on date), so there's a bit of fuzziness.
  • We only permit current radio station logos in the infoboxes of active radio stations, so yes, the KUSC logo belongs there.

  • Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. It is within policy, with no copyright violations that I can detect. It is appropriately sourced. QPQ complete. I find the original hook really interesting, but I'm doubtful of its accuracy; everyone is illiterate before they begin to learn to read and write. If Gao learned before he wrote, then surely he was no longer illiterate when writing the book? Could you tweak the hook to perhaps say that he was illiterate until adulthood?

Lori Verderame

  • ... that Dr. Lori became an antiques appraiser to help educate sellers after she met a woman who sold George Washington's 1799 obituary to another appraiser for $50, only for it to be resold at $50,000?
    1. Source: "After years of teaching in classrooms and museums, Verderame decided to start appraising antiques after an unexpected encounter with a 75-year old-woman. 'This woman told me her story. She had recently sold a historic George Washington document for $50 that was worth $50,000! She said she needed the $50 to pay her electric bill. When I met her, I thought, this woman could be my mother—anyone could make that mistake.' Now, Verderame says, 'My goal is just to teach people the value of what they have and for them to learn what everyone else has.'" (McLoughlin 2012.)
    2. Source: "It was an older woman who inspired her to become an antiques appraiser. While working as a museum curator, Verderame met a 75-year-old woman who needed to pay her bills and sold a historic George Washington document for $50 to a dealer. The document was actually worth $50,000. When Verderame spoke to people in the appraisal business about the incident, they told her, 'That's just business.' 'When I met her I thought, "This woman could be my mother,"' she said. 'Anyone could make that mistake.' Determined to educate people on the value of their possessions, Verderame began teaching the public about antiques." (PSN 2012.)
    3. Source: "It was a 75-year-old woman who was taken to the cleaners. When she showed one appraiser a document dating back to George Washington, he offered her $50. She took it. After all, she needed $50 to keep her electricity from being turned off. Verderame followed the document and found out that the appraiser had sold it for $50,000. Nothing could be done. In fact, other appraisers told Verderame that it was the elderly woman’s fault. 'She should have known better,' they said. But what Verderame was thinking was: 'That could have been my mother.'" (Kerns 2013.)
    4. Source: "After years teaching in university classrooms and working as a museum director, I was inspired to start appraising antiques after I met a perfect stranger. She was a 75-year-old woman who had sold an historic George Washington document for $50 that was worth $50,000! When I met her, I thought, this woman could be my mother—anyone could make that mistake. That woman's mistake inspired me to share my education and expertise with America." (Wilkinson 2014.)
    5. Source: "Dr. Lori says her career in appraising began after talking to a woman who'd been conned out of $50,000 from an appraiser. That's when she knew she wanted to be an appraiser, and do it in an honest way." (Garrison 2018.)
    6. Source: "It started more than two decades ago when she was a professor and museum curator in Pennsylvania. A 75-year-old woman visited her and said she sold a family heirloom, an old newspaper, to someone for $50 so she could pay her electric bill. Dr. Lori discovered the woman had sold the original obituary from 1799 of the 'Father of Our Country,' George Washington. The woman was related to Washington. After some research, Dr. Lori learned that the person who bought the obituary for $50 later sold it to a museum for $50,000. After that incident, Dr. Lori said she decided, 'I'm going to teach regular America what they have and what it's really worth.'" (James 2018.)
    7. Source: "She recalled a senior citizen who had sold an old newspaper to an appraiser for $50 and it was worth $50,000. She said that woman may have needed the money for health care or food or other living essentials and Dr. Lori doesn't want that to happen again." (Klimovich Harrop 2019.)
