Instructions for nominators

This page is for those nominations that have already been approved and are waiting to be promoted. If yours has been approved but has not yet been run on the main page, it should either be on this page or will soon be moved here, or already promoted to a Prep area or Queue ahead of an appearance on the main page.

If you wish to create a new nomination, please go to the Template talk:Did you know page; there are instructions there in a section similar to this one on how to nominate an article for DYK.

Frequently asked questions

Backlogged?

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until someone promotes it to a preparation area. To alleviate this problem, if the approved page has more than 120 approved hooks, then sets will change twice per day (every 12 hours) instead of once per day (every 24 hours). When the backlog falls below 60 approved nominations set frequency returns to once a day.

Where is my hook?

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.

If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the DYK discussion page, but as a general rule such nominations will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

Instructions for other editors

How to promote an accepted hook

  • See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
  • In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
  • In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
  • In the prep set...
    • Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
    • Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
  • Back on DYK nomination page...
    • change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • change |passed= to |passed=yes
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save

How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue

  • Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
  • Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there should have been a link to it in the credits section).
    • View the edit history for that page
    • Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
    • Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
  • Add a transclusion of the template back to the nominations page so that reviewers can see it. It goes under the date that it was first created/expanded/listed as a GA. You may need to add back the day header for that date if it had been removed from the nominations page.
  • If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.

Nominations

Special occasion holding area

Shortcut
Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section on the regular nominations page, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began, or it was listed as a Good Article; be sure to indicate in the nomination any request for a specially timed appearance on the main page.
Note: Articles intended to be held for special occasion dates should be nominated within seven days of creation, start of expansion, or promotion to Good Article status. The nomination should be made between at least one week prior to the occasion date, to allow time for reviews and promotions through the prep and queue sets, but not more than six weeks in advance. The proposed occasion must be deemed sufficiently special by reviewers. The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. Discussion clarifying the hold criteria can be found here: [1]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [2].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
Note for promoters: please be sure to add an "invisible" comment after a hook when you've placed it in prep, noting that it's a special occasion hook and including the date it is supposed to run. This should keep the hook from being moved after promotion, as sometimes happens to hooks when a queue needs a slot filled or a prep set needs to be made more balanced by swapping hooks between preps.

December 14

I wrote this as complete as I could, scouring the internet. I just don't think there's any information online about his early life or early political career.

Created by Bremps (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 10 past nominations.

Overall: When the election results had just been announced, I had researched to create an article on Abdi, but gave up after being unable to find anything on him. So nice work here. The article appears to meet all the criteria and the image appears usable. Looks good to go! BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:40, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. Can I request a WP:SOHA for December 14, his inauguration date? There aren't any SOHAs for December 14. Bremps... 22:05, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds alright. I tried adding it to the special occasion holding area. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:22, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would we be okay with ALT1: that Vice President of Somaliland Mohamed Aw-Ali Abdi (pictured), who assumes office today, once held a campaign event in Birmingham, United Kingdom? I'll leave the choice of hook to BeanieFan11 or the promoter. First one might sound more active but the second one might emphasize recency. Bremps... 11:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think either works; will leave up to the promoter. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:51, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:46, 26 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • QPQ is not needed but I'll nonetheless politely ask the nom (@DoctorWhoFan91:) to consider doing it to help with the backlog :) The article is fine (GA status and nom date confirmed), spotcheck did not find any issues. The hooks are fine although neither seems particularly interesting. Instead I'd suggest making a new hook based on this claim from the lead: "and is considered one of the best Christmas specials of the show, with its success leading to the Christmas special becoming an annual tradition". Ping me if a new hook is proposed and I'll check it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:53, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DoctorWhoFan91, Piotrus, and DimensionalFusion: Just noting that I have pulled this from prep as this would make a good Christmas hook and will put it into the special occasion holding area. I have not assessed the article.--Launchballer 11:32, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HMT Night Hawk

  • ... that HMT Night Hawk was sunk on Christmas Day 1914 while trawling for mines off Scarborough, England?
  • Source: "Christmas Day came with sadness. The mine- sweepers were busily at work as usual. Among them was the Grimsby trawler Night Hawk, which had been operating between Flamborough Head and Whitby. At the end of her day's work on Christmas Eve she had gone into Whitby, and next morning came out at seven o'clock; but off Scarborough she struck a mine, and the vessel went down in less than ten seconds." from: Chatterton, Edward Keble (1923).

Oliver Hutchinson

The first photograph of a television image
The first photograph of a television image
  • ... that Oliver Hutchinson (pictured) was the subject of the first successful live demonstration of the television on 26 January 1926?
  • Source: "Ninety years ago today, in a building in Soho, the first live television demonstration took place in front of a room of members of the Royal Institution and a journalist from The Times. A face – that of a man called Oliver Hutchinson – appeared on in a small 3.5ins by two inch picture. The Scot's first successful test of his Televisor was in 1924, when he transmitted a flickering image onto a wall ten feet away. Two years later, it was a clearer image of Hutchinson in a different room which is now regarded to be the first television demonstration as earlier showcases projected nothing more than faint silhouettes." from: "Google joins in celebrations for TV's 90th birthday".

Overall: Well done, thank you esp for the writing and for hunting down the sources for this bio. ALT0 -- would it be better to say "live" rather than public demonstration? The source says "live" and I'm not sure this is "public" in our current usage of the term. Might also move (pictured) after 'television' because it's a great image of that TV demo, not of the subject himself. ALT1 -- this is accurate but strikes me as an odd emphasis on the photograph rather than the pioneering step with television technology. ProfGray (talk) 15:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed "public" to "live" in the article if you want to go with that. I left it a bit ambiguous with the "pictured" as I can't find a source that says this is an image of the first demonstration, it could have been taken another time and wasn't published until June. The demonstration was 26 January. Not sure how long the current backlog is but this could well run on the 99th anniversary of the event? - Dumelow (talk) 19:14, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, if you agree "live" is better, then I'd suggest revising the first hook. Thanks for explaining about your caution with the image, that's wise. ProfGray (talk) 19:48, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I have amended ALT0 to "live" instead of "public" - Dumelow (talk) 08:07, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AirshipJungleman29:, hi, saw the revert, is there anything else that I / we need to do? ProfGray (talk) 23:00, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Ooh, a quadruple hook. All of the articles are new enough, long enough, and well cited. There are a few places where phrasing could be a bit more neutral (I feel like inspired would be better than empowered, for example), but those may also be stylstic considerations. Earwig isn't happy, but it's the large block quote that speaks to Plummer's inspiration in that instance. Ideally Hehir's article would have a bit more on his early life, but if the sources aren't talking about it, rather difficult. (Minor quibble: the source says "unfortunately" rather than "unfortunate", but I think it works here).  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has been sitting near the top of Approved for over a week. What else do I have to do to get this promoted? (For the record, I believe "unfortunately" --> "unfortunate" is covered by MOS:SIC.)--Launchballer 02:04, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not entirely sure that Holland in particular meets the independent notability standards of WP:CRIMINAL. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:03, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
She's a lot more borderline than Plummer, I'll admit that. From memory, there's significant coverage of her role in Politico at least and this Prospect piece was what clinched it for me, but I will of course take another look later.--Launchballer 16:30, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since we are dealing with a BLP, I think we should veer on the side of safety as described in WP:CRIMINAL. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:02, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nazi crimes against children

  • Hellow Piotrus, review is as follows: article created within 7 days of nomination, hook is good, article is well-written, QPQ done, offline source accepted in good faith. Nihil obstat. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 02:41, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Piotrus, I don't think this meets WP:DYKCOMPLETE, it seems generally focused on Poland. I would expect more coverage of children from other occupied territories too. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:42, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @AirshipJungleman29: I thought it was generally focused on euthanasia (of disabled or sick children)? About half of the article is about that, Poland is primarily covered under shorter 'collective punishment'. Based on sources I found this seems to be due, and I think I link to all subarticles. Based on my lit review for this (note I am not aiming to get this to GA, too depressing) the sources focus primarily on euthanasia, with plight of Jewish and Polish children discussed by fewer sources; anything else seems to be pretty fringe (or at least, I did not find any sources focusing on other topics, nor Wikipedia articles to summarize in relevant subcategories). PS. I see there was also one more paragraph mostly about Poland in 'other crimes', but I stand by my view that this reflects what the sources say. That said, I realized I forgot to write up about Nazi child soldiers - I've added a paragraph. I expect more could be said, but this seems very poorly researched; it took me half an hour before I found a reliable source with some data on this (I couldn't even locate a single academic article that would cover this...). PS. I've added a bit more content, mostly about non-Polish topics. I expect more could be added, but I cannot locate sources (for example, surely Nazis used collective punishment in USSR and murdered children there, but I am unable to locate any work covering this - perhaps it requires a Russian speaker to query Russian or other Cyrillic sources). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:59, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bagumba I'm a) not sure what the hook means precisely and b) feeling like it's quite trivia-like. Perhaps another hook? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:13, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AirshipJungleman29: It's supposed to convey that the mother decided that her son would go to the school upon learning that their student body president was Black. Which part is unclear for you? In a certain sense, all DYK hooks are "trivia". Why do you feel it's a bigger issue here?—Bagumba (talk) 04:21, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The "decision" part is not clear Bagumba, and I don't really get why we have to quote the mother directly instead of simply stating, as you do, "that the mother decided that her son would go to the school upon learning that their student body president was Black". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:05, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the input AirshipJungleman29. Would something like John Moore's mother saiddecided that "this is where he's going to school"? be clearer? I originally went with the straightforward "said" as Moore was presumably an adult, but obviously a parent has a lot of sway in these decisions. As for using the quote, I just felt that her actual words made the hook feel more authentic and made it slightly "hookier" than a paraphrase in this case.—Bagumba (talk) 00:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that would be better, yes. I'll leave the thoughts about quotes/trivia to see if another promoter agrees. Otherwise all good. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:02, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • New enough, long enough and well-written. The hook is good and supported by an inline citation to a reliable source (in fact, the rediscovery has been reported quite widely in civilised media).

Interesting life and work, on few but fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I like the interesting short hook! I have a few wishes for the article: 1) give him an infobox, or it looks as if it was an article about a coat of arms, 2) avoid "would" - everything is now past, 3) bring the refs above the cited sources - no idea why German and others have it differently, but in English, that's normal, 4) formal the one source that's not yet among Cited sources like the others. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:36, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Interesting hook but slight problems that could be resolved before I can complete a final confirmation for it to be approved for DYK. Overall the article has no copyright problems and both the hooks are mentioned in the article. But the problem is related to how the hooks are mentioned in the article. As I see when it comes to ALT1, it mentions that ' that Gail Damerow's book described by the New York Times as the "authoritative book on ice cream" was created because of the lack of good recipes in her ice cream maker's recipe booklet?. However in the article where the hook ('Awards and Honors') is mentioned, it just states 'described by The New York Times as the authoritative book on ice cream'. Hope you can fix this issue by adding more of the ALT1's fact here. The first hook is fine. So just fix the stated issue and after that I can give green light for your article for DYK. - Toadboy123 (talk) 09:54, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Toadboy123, I wasn't aware of that being a requirement for hooks? I've had a number of hooks that involved multiple parts of an article. And the info about the inspiration for the book doesn't really fit in an Awards section, particularly since it has to do with events in her life and where she was living.

  • @Czarking0: I'll start by addressing WP:DYKNEW. This article last appeared at In the news on 12 April 2011, and the on this day on 11 March 2023. This was over one year ago, so it can go on the main page again.
The article recently became a good article so it is eligible for DYK. Earwig's is not working so i'll assume good faith when it comes to copyvios. QPQ not needed.
I'll review ALT0 (I think it is the most interesting). The hook matches the article.
I'm worried about the source for this hook because it is a preliminary report, which uses predictions of health effects rather than observations. It also doesn't say about the evacuations and also says In the highest dose location ... For leukaemia, the lifetime risks are predicted to increase by up to around 7% over baseline cancer rates in males exposed as infants However, a 2020 source says that No adverse health effects among Fukushima residents have been documented that are directly attributable to radiation exposure from the FDNPS accident. So I'll approve, with caution. ―Panamitsu (talk) 05:42, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reconrabbit 22:33, 4 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • The article is fine in every respect (long enough, well-written and recently enough promoted to GA), and the hook is good, but it is not backed up by the wording in the article. In the article it simply says that the standards are "much longer" than the body, now "twice the length". There should also be an inline citation supporting the claim directly after the sentence in which it is made. It's a small fix, after which the article should be ready for DYK. Yakikaki (talk) 22:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe that the length given of a broad secondary flight feather[4] on each wing elongated to up to 53.5 centimetres makes sense to describe as "twice the length of its body" since earlier the bird's length is given as this medium-sized (20–23 centimetres (7.9–9.1 in) long) nightjar and 53.5÷2=26.75 > 23 cm. Though since it's "up to" I could see justifying adding "that can be" after "wing ornament" in the hook. Additionally the quote in the source describes the bird's body as "21-22 cm" and immediately after gives a minimum length of 45 cm with the standards. I could change it to say directly in the article "over twice the length" instead of just "much longer" though. Reconrabbit 00:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I wasn't arguing that the facts were not in the article or not supported by the inline citations. DYK used to have a rule, though, which stated "The facts of the hook need to appear in the article with a citation no later than at the end of the sentences in which they appear." However I see now that the rules have changed and become more flexible, and I can therefore happily drop this minor objection and give the green light to the article. Nice work!

  • The article is new enough, long enough, free from close paraphrasing, and adequately sourced. All of the hooks are cited inline, however I'm only approving ALT1 as it is the most intriguing option among the proposals. The source is in Chinese so AGF, although a Google Translate check verified the information. A full QPQ has also been done.

He wasn't "just" a geologist, like many engineers and scientists in that time, he was many things. Plus, his descendants gave a treasure trove of materials to Lehigh which is why they are having exhibitions, videos, etc. Having said all that, perhaps one of the the following would be a good hook?

  • This is currently only a partial review as I'm having issues with Earwig at the moment so I am unable to check for close paraphrasing. The article is new enough and long enough. It is adequately sourced. A full QPQ was performed. Among the hooks, ALT5 is definitely the most intriguing and thus the best option. The Newspaper.com link is paywalled for me so I will assume good faith regarding the quote. I do suspect that there could be opposition to it on WP:DYKGRAT grounds, but that's counting the chickens before they hatch, so let's cross the bridge if/when we get there.

  • Comment: While there's no hard rule or guideline discouraging it, best practice is to try and avoid superlatives if possible because as it turns out, the claim that x is first with y tends to be disputed, controversial, or a matter of opinion in many cases. I'm not sure how to best word it, so perhaps User:RoySmith would care to correct me. Viriditas (talk) 23:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • The way I generally approach these is to consider how reliable the record keeping is and especially if it's possible to enumerate all the possible other examples and show that this one must be first. So, it's a safe statement to say that Neil Armstrong was the first person on the moon because I have exceptional confidence that somebody didn't get there before him and somehow the record of that just got lost. Not so with this example. I'd recommend this be qualified with something like "is believed to be", "the first recorded", or something like that. I've been slowly working on an essay on this topic. It's not complete, but User:RoySmith/essays/First is worst may provide some value. RoySmith (talk) 00:20, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Yakikaki: I planned to review this and request new hooks per the above, but it failed the very first spot check. I made the change in the article.[6] Please take a moment to review the article and make sure the text to source integrity holds up. Viriditas (talk) 08:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas:, @RoySmith: Thanks both for engaging in this review and trying to improve it and the article. First of all, regarding the minor change to the article concerning Mollyn's father and his printing activities in Antwerp: fair enough, the revised wording is closer to the source. I do in general try to avoid phrasing which is too close to the source, as this can be a copyvio issue. In this case I think I also got a bit confused because Mollyn junior was in the same situation later, which is described in detail in the next page of the same article, and since he doubtlessly DID print religious material critical to the Catholic church I made a minor mix-up. So thanks for spotting that. Now to the question of the claim in the hook. Well, I can live with "the first recorded" by all means. I would however like to underline that the claim that he was the first printer in Riga has been put forward at least since 1795 (but of course, since I try to be a serious Wikipedia editor, I would not dream of using a source from 1795 in the actual article) and has not been contested. In fact, all sources – reasonable, academic sources – I've been able to find on the subject confirm the claim. It is not an outlandish or grotesque claim. In fact, it used to be precisely the kind of things one was encouraged to put in DYKs (provided, of course it was properly supported). I understand that in some other cases there may have slipped through one or two claims in DYK which were on closer inspection quite fanciful (and, perhaps, politically motivated or in general sensationalist). I would argue that this is not the case here, and that we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath-water. Yakikaki (talk) 14:00, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas:, @RoySmith: A small addendum: comparing the claim in the hook here with the examples given in Roy's draft essay, I would say this one is comparable, at worst, to the Roger Bannister example. The history of early printing is a thoroughly researched area. We have a good idea at the pace in which printing spread through Europe and 1588 seems in no way unreasonable for the first printing press to have been set up in Riga. Furthermore, it was an undertaking which required financial muscles and was something of a major event in the history of a city, so it usually left a mark in archives etc. So all in all, again, the claim is not extravagant or strange. It is certainly very far from the example of the pub with the traffic lights (a peculiar claim to fame indeed!). Sorry for my wordy replies here but I thought it best to put forward my thoughts and reasoning, to let you know that it wasn't a proposal I hatched on a whim.

Both articles are well-written and well-sourced, and Earwig shows no copyvio. I would accept ALT0 since it is supported by the source, and the literal translation of "女俠" is indeed somewhat akin to "lady knight".

  • ... that the majority of pumpkin pies (pictured) in the United States are made with the Dickinson pumpkin?
  • Source: "Dickinson pumpkins are a variety of pumpkin that is mostly grown for making canned pumpkin to use in pumpkin pie and in other baked goods. They have mildly sweet, orange flesh with a dry, dense texture. Dickinson pumpkins are members of the squash family (Cucurbitaceae), with the botanical name of Cucurbita moschata. They're a subspecies of the same squash species that includes the crookneck, butternut, and calabaza varietals, among others. It was first cultivated in Kentucky in the early 1800s by a farmer named Elijah Dickinson. Dickinson later brought the seeds to central Illinois, where they grew so prolifically that they helped launch a vegetable processing plant that was later acquired by a Chicago-based canned food company called Libby's. Libby's still grows Dickinson pumpkins in central Illinois, although they've tweaked the cultivar a bit over the years to produce a varietal that features extra dense, sweet flesh. Today, Libby's accounts for 85 percent of the canned pumpkin market, and 100 percent of what goes in those cans is their proprietary cultivar of Dickinson pumpkin." The Spruce Eats

  • New enough (created on 9 Nov), long enough, sources are good, very presentable. Hooks are cited and I confirm the content of the hooks. One bit I might need to pick is that Chen named a "restaurant", not a "hotel", after two actresses, as "飯店" usually refers to restauarants while "酒店" means hotels. So it should be
    • ALT1a: ... that the prolific author and artist Chen Dingshan named a restaurant after two actresses?
Other than that, hooks are quite interesting. I would also prefer that you clarify in the original hook that the Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies School is a school of literature, but that's up to personal discretion. QPQ confirmed.
Finally, I wish to use this space to say a big thank you for writing the "brother article" of Chen Xiaocui! Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 19:17, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RoySmith (talk) 02:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • Hi RoySmith, review follows: a QPQ has been carried out (in progress); article was moved to mainspace on 12 November and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources except for one paragraph which I have tagged; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources in a spotcheck on some of the online ones; Earwig comes back generally OK, though I wonder if "on 167th Street between Findlay and Teller Avenues in the Bronx" could be rephrased to avoid being identical to the source? hook fact is interesting enough, mentioned in the article and checks out to sources cited; image is OK, could be cropped a little to remove the margin. Do you have confirmation it was published prior to 1929? Noting the statement that the NY public library couldn't determine copyright of the image - Dumelow (talk) 19:21, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dumelow Thank you for the review. I've supplied the missing citation. As for the paraphrasing, I think WP:LIMITED applies here. I tried a few rewordings, but they're all rather awkward and forced, so I'm inclined to leave it as is. I think cropping the image would be an aesthetic negative.

The more interesting question is the provenance of the image vis-a-vis whether it is PD or not. https://www.vera.org/news/vera-schweitzer-the-vera-institutes-worthy-namesake says the image appeared in a 1931 annual report, so that's at least an upper bound for the date, admittedly 2 years shy of the 1929 magic line in the sand. Wurts Brothers was a well-known photography firm specializing in architectural work. I think it's reasonable to assume they took the photo soon after the building was completed, but I have been unable to find any hard evidence that it predates 1929. RoySmith (talk) 20:16, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm possibly putting my head in the lion's mouth, but Nikkimaria is my usual go-to on image licensing questions. RoySmith (talk) 21:14, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The current tagging is likely incorrect (unless there's an earlier publication that hasn't been identified), but I'd suggest checking for copyright renewal on the 1931 report - it likely wouldn't have been renewed which means this is likely out of copyright. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:27, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dumelow OK, let's run this without the image:

ALT1 ... that Louis Abramson worked on the renovation of a building he had designed 57 years earlier?

which is a bit of a shame, but I'd rather be right than guess. In the meantime, I've located an archive here in NYC that looks like it has all the annual reports from the years in question. I'll get over there at some point and hopefully be able to nail this down. RoySmith (talk) 22:51, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The author of the painting, Amrita Sher-Gil, died in 1941, so the painting entered into the publish domain in India in 2001. Regrettably, because it was still protected by copyright in India in 1996 (the date of the URAA), it's still protected by copyright in the US until 2033. Given the extensive discussion of the painting within the article, I think there's a pretty good argument that we can use this painting as fair use on enWiki. Rather than nominating this for deletion on commons, I'm pinging Whispyhistory so you can {{SD|g7}} this on commons and re-upload locally as a non-free file. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 04:39, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, here's my line of thought. ownership of the painting was transferred or "communicated to the public", meaning it was published. It was published outside of the United States, it seems- India, specifically. The author died in 1941, so Indian copyright law protected her works until 2001. Therefore, it was still protected by copyright in its home country in 1996. Therefore, it had its copyright restored in the United States by the URAA. That being said, international copyright law is....complicated. Have I missed anything super obvious or made any illogical jumps? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 11:28, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Both tags on the image file say that the image is currently in the public domain. Are you saying that one or both of the tags is untrue? If that is the case, what are your grounds for saying that your theory is the correct one, and that the Commons tags are incorrect in principle? Looking at the first tag on the page, it strikes me that you are perhaps not aware of the bit of law which that tag is using? Storye book (talk) 20:52, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A potential problem with the hook is that it may unduly focus on negative aspects of a living person. I personally think it is fine but I have gotten it wrong in the past so I will request a second opinion from a user better versed in DYK. Note that in this source the subject of the article is personally admitting to what is stated in the hook. GMH Melbourne (talk) 00:38, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As the GA reviewer: I would not believe it to unduly focus on the negative aspects of Sewell, given my understanding of the word, given what he does and what he is notable for. It's not like he is a well regarded person who happened to do one bad thing and we're making it the hook. It's not a crime or something that he denied doing, in any case. Just my thoughts.

  • Article was made on the 17th of this month, so is new enough. It is more than long enough and reads neutrally while properly using in-line citations. The copyvio detector finds no issues and I AGF on the translations, which appear to be accurate for the hooks as far as I can tell. Depressing hooks, but certainly fall under interesting and they are cited in-line. The QPQ has been done and the image presented is in the public domain and is visually understandable even at a small size. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 00:37, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: I congratulate you for getting this to GA status within the past week and would like to see it on the front page. However, I think the hook itself could be better. The hook does describe something interesting, but I would recommend rewording it to be more snappy. Especially since "Nestlé were making" is grammatically incorrect as Nestle is a single entity. Perhaps to make it more concise and thus more enticing to read, cut the second half of the hook starting with "Nestlé were...". Lazman321 (talk) 08:03, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Some qualification is needed in the hook unfortunately: 1) The Washington Post article indicates that there is only consensus that Nestlé was responsible for the first commercial white chocolate, not white chocolate generally 2) The South China Morning Post article is not a reliable source for history (seen for example in how it implies Henri Nestlé was alive in 1936) but can be used for the attributed claims of Nestlé.

  • looks good to me; checks all the boxes on the list. I also gave the article some copyedits on wording to hopefully make it read a bit better. Personally, I prefer ALT1, although I believe a hook based on was later commissioned to make a copy of his wedding bouquet in artificial flowers to be exhibited alongside Camilla's wedding dress could be neat. I'd propose:
... that Shane Connolly made an artificial copy of his work for the Wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles to be displayed in the Victoria and Albert Museum alongside Camilla's wedding dress?

    • The article was moved to mainspace on time and is new enough and long enough. Everything is adequately source and there are no uncited materials (I need an account to see the DOB reference so AGF). Both hooks are interesting, cited inline, and verified in their respective snippets, although I have a preference for ALT1 as I think it's more unusual or intriguing. However, it may need rewording since neither the article nor the source call her a "California actress" and they still consider her to be from Massachusetts. A full QPQ has been done and verified. My main concern at the moment is WP:DYKCOMPLETE: the article does not mention anything between her ending her acting career and her death, even though the cited obituary says that she became a columnist after her career. Her post-acting career stuff will need to be expanded before this nomination is approved. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Chetsford, great idea for an article. Review: created 21 November and exceeds minimum length; sources used look generally reliable (I am not sure about destroyerhistory.org but it is only used to cite the complement of the destroyer involved); article is fully cited inline; I don't have access to all the sources but didn't pick up on any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; Earwig score is high but only because of the quoted article form the convention (which is PD and appropriate); image is PD (source states from Department of Defense); I can't access the sources cited for the hook but it is stated in the article so I will AGF; QPQ awaited but otherwise looks good - Dumelow (talk) 21:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful work on this article Sonovawolf! There's a lot to work with here frankly.

    • Other problems: No - Please see suggestion for slight variation on first hook below.
    Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
    QPQ: None required.

    Overall: All sources are reliable for purposes used. Appears neutral. Spot check of four sources reveals no close paraphrasing. Accusing the bird of stealing the bolt based on hearsay may be libelous and violate BLP. Article is quite presentable, and both images are clear and properly licensed. I'm not too fond of ALT1 since I think it's too vague. ALT2 is neat, but I much prefer the absolute chaos of the first hook. That said, the one thing I would change about it is to say: "that a raven in Anchorage, Alaska (pictured) ate tater tots and toast, fought over ice cream, and disassembled a streetlamp?" I suggest this because upon reading the hook, I thought "Anchorage white raven" was a colloquial name for a species of bird, not a single specimen. It also reflects the typical spelling 'ice cream' rather than 'ice-cream', but this is concern is more arbitrary than the one about the boldlink text. This longer ALT0.5 hook is ~150 characters. This is my first time reviewing a DYK, but I'm a new article reviewer, so hopefully this is sufficient. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 03:01, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
