Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Moestopo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re: Xinye Village
Since you've been so helpful, I wonder if you wouldn't mind sharing some more of your DYK knowledge with a neophyte like myself. In reviewing Xinye Village, I discovered that the user created it at 09:17, 29 January 2012,[1] but waited until 04:56, 4 February 2012[2] to nominate it. They also added it to the January 30 queue instead of January 29.[3] Is this an instant fail, or do we give leeway to users like this? There could be something off with his preferences, maybe he doesn't recognize UTC time, etc. So, what would you recommend? Fail due to nomination after five day period had ended, or do the review? Viriditas (talk) 01:16, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Per Supplementary rule D9, which says "'Five days old' limit should be strictly enforced only if there is a large backlog of hooks. Otherwise nominated article may still be approved if it was created or expanded after the oldest date listed in Template talk:Did you know#Older nominations.", you are allowed to do so. Since this is an underrepresented area and the editor is fairly new to DYK, I would probably leave a notice, but accept the nomination. For a more experienced editor such as myself, Drblofeld, or the like, I'd be more strict. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, I remember reading that now. For the record, my calculation was 6 days, 19 hours, 39 minutes. I will be happy to finish up the review tonight. Viriditas (talk) 01:26, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- That's odd, I count 5 days 19 hours and so on. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:32, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- You're correct, 5 days, not 6. Viriditas (talk) 01:42, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

No hurry on this, but when you have a moment, could you glance at the statements and questions I've made over at User_talk:Zanhe#Re:_Xinye_Village_DYK and tell me if I'm being reasonable or not? Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 06:17, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
They can't take me out so easily
Hello, Crisco. How are you? I'm back from nowhere, but I did it because Alarbus insisted a lot, and he has been a good friend to me and I owed him that. But I came here to tell you that I'm really grateful to see that you cared. Thank you very much. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 02:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yay, glad to see you're back! Don't worry too much about Sandy. Perhaps taking a break from FAC will help you (we could use some more Brazil-related DYKs...) Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:42, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the mistake about dates! I'm just winging it as I don't know the rules. Just pretty much copying what I see as I try to help out. So all advice is appreciated! MathewTownsend (talk) 23:35, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- No problem. I figured as much, so I gave a more in-depth explanation than I normally would. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:37, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
