Flag of Togo

• ... that the side lengths of the flag of Togo (pictured) are in the golden ratio?

• ALT1: ... that the five stripes of the flag of Togo (pictured) represent the country's five regions? Source: Smith, Whitney (16 February 2001). "Flag of Togo". Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Trump raised-fist photographs
• Comment: ALT0 describes the quality that makes the flag of Togo like no other on the planet. However, many people may not know what the golden ratio is, but I think that's actually a good thing because it'll generate more interest in the unknown ("today I learned"). That's certainly what got me interested in the topic. If the reviewer or promoter finds ALT0 too technical for general audiences, then they may prefer ALT1, although the fact is not unique to the Togolese flag, nor is it as fascinating as ALT0. Also, if ALT0 is chosen, then the image is not necessary, appealing as it may be.

• Yue, review follows: article promoted to GA on 12 August and is well written; inline citations are used throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject matter; I didn't find any issues with overly close paraphrasing from a spot check on sources I could access; hook facts are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to sources cited; a QPQ has been carried out; flag image is simple geometric shapes and ineligible for copyright. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 09:28, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Reopening per a request at WT:DYK to add Regions of Togo as a 5x expansion. @Dumelow and BorgQueen:, if either of you would like to review it I can put it back myself.--Launchballer 13:52, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hook fact isn't in the regions article. Can you add it to it somehow? BorgQueen (talk) 17:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

• @Yue: pinging. BorgQueen (talk) 17:07, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's a rule that says the hook fact has to be in all of the articles. If there was, it would have taken out Manizha Talash's hook, currently this month's most viewed hook.--Launchballer 17:26, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Very well. Good to go then. Y BorgQueen (talk) 18:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Consistencies of Data Values for Regions

The data values for areas and populations (in the main list of the regions) do not match the numbers in the box on the right for the smallest and largest regions. ChinaChuck (talk) 13:48, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

 Fixed. Yue🌙 02:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
