  • Article was moved to mainspace on the 27th, so is new enough. At around 4000 characters, it is long enough. The article properly uses in-line citations and reads neutrally. The copyvio detector just finds locations, job positions, and book titles, so no problems there. The hook is interesting, cited in-line (I've confirmed the corresponding text), and is the right length. It'll be funny to see if there's any angry talk page comments when this hook runs. Both QPQs have been done and the proposed picture is released under a usable CC license. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 04:36, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi The Bushranger, review follows: article created 27 November and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout; sources used generally look to be reliable, could you comment on the reliability of the Directory of U.S. Military Rockets and Missiles, is Andreas Parsch established as an expert in the field? hook is probably interesting enough (I couldn't see anything obviously more interesting and it seems that launching from carrier-based aircraft was farily novel for target drones of the time; perhaps adding "1980s" into the hook might be helpful), and checks out to source cited; two QPQs have been provided as per backlog mode; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the sources. If you could comment on Parsch, I think this should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 09:49, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article is new enough (created 11/27) and long enough (approximately 2140 characters of narrative text, excluding the block quote). Earwig (here) detects no issues. It is generally well-written and sourced; one exception to that is the sentence which asserts in wiki-voice that the poem has also been proclaimed by Galtier, though "this seems apocryphal." I am not permitted full access to the Star Tribune piece without subscribing -- can you provide a quote that substantiates this claim? As for the hook, I find it quite interesting, and it's succinct and cited. QPQ is satisfied. @Darth Stabro: If you can provide the requested verification mentioned above, this will be ready to go.

Overall: Hook is interesting and checks out, even when consulting the other sources. With regards to the rest of the article, I spotchecked material cited to Chinese National Cinema, Historical Dictionary of Chinese Cinema, and used Google translate to check 于无声处听惊雷 ——浅析中国早期有声电影的试制 and 歌女红牡丹. Everything seems okay content and copyright wise. I know it hasn't been submitted, but I checked the licensing on the lead image and it's valid.

  • Article was moved to mainspace on the 30th, so is new enough. At over 7000 characters, it is more than long enough. The copyvio detector can't seem to do much with these sources, but my spot-checks seem to show no issues off-hand. I assume good faith on those I can't access, including the quotes presented for the hook sources above. The hooks presented are interesting, though I find the main hook to be the preferable one for interesting-ness. Both are cited in-line in the article and the article as a whole properly uses in-line citations and reads neutrally. Both QPQs have been done and everything looks good to go. On a personal note, Crisco 1492, I do hope you end up making an article on huaju in the future as well, because that also seems quite interesting. SilverserenC 04:47, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for the DYK and GAN! By WP:DYKPBR, the song being featured on the NBA should be in the article if we choose (ALT1). I can't choose and make a review among the three since I was the GA reviewer for this article. RFNirmala (talk) 04:48, 1 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Overall: Looks good to me. Newly minted GA, and the DYK was timely filed. Earwig comes back clean, and the only real thing that stood out as a potential red flag was the WP:BROADWAYWORLD sources, but I don't think the article relies on any of them alone for any particular fact. Alt2 seems uninteresting (it is entirely expected that the group who wrote the song was the first one to perform it at a particular festival), while the Alt0 and Alt1 hook seem workable. There is a small mistake in Alt1 (The Clippers Spirit, a official dance team... should be the Clippers Spirit, the official dance team..., since the official name is "Clippers Spirit" and it's the official dance team), but I don't think that's a reason to hold this up, since that can be trivially fixed prior to promotion and after you read this comment. I'm inclined to go with Alt1 here after the fix is made, in line with the nominator's request. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 06:12, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Red! Thanks for looking at this DYK nom. I noticed your feedback for Alt2. Yes, an artist or a group is expected to perform their new song at a festival. However, the KCON festival is different from ordinary festivals. KCON is regarded as the world's largest convention and music festival for K-pop culture,[2] which features performances from various K-pop acts. Bini, on the other hand, is a Filipino group, and their performance in KCON was actually regarded by many sources as a historic milestone for the entire Philippine pop music community since they were the first Filipino act to ever perform in such a big festival as KCON (which is mainly for K-pop culture).[3][4]AstrooKai (Talk) 09:48, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Red-tailed hawk, I don't think that need to change the section of Critical Reception because Gabriel Saulog of Billboard Philippines is giving a reaction on the song of Cherry on Top as well as to Hans Carbonilla of Philippine Daily Inquirer. Royiswariii Talk! 10:24, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if it ain't in the article, we can't use Alt1. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 17:07, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AstrooKai: The way you've phrased it, and the way the article has it Later that month, on July 27, Bini performed the song at KCON 2024 in Los Angeles, which marked the first act by a Filipino pop group at the event seems more interesting; the way that the current alt was phrased isn't. Therefore, I'll propose Alt4:

Red-tailed hawk, what section should I add the featured halftime show? Royiswariii Talk! 07:58, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe change "critical reception" to "reception" and then add it there? It's not super simple to fit in based on current sectioning, but if you had a section that included both critics and general popular reception it would fit right in. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 08:23, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
