Frequently asked questions[edit]

How do I write an interesting hook?

Successful hooks tend to have several traits. Most importantly, they share a surprising or intriguing fact. They give readers enough context to understand the hook, but leave enough out to make them want to learn more. They are written for a general audience who has no prior knowledge of or interest in the topic area. Lastly, they are concise, and do not attempt to cover multiple facts or present information about the subject beyond what's needed to understand the hook.

When will my nomination be reviewed?

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, 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 below).

Where is my hook?

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.

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.
• After the nomination is approved, a bot will automatically list the nomination page on Template talk:Did you know/Approved.

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.

How to promote an accepted hook[edit]

Handy copy sources:

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.

  • Comment: This is a list, so I am unsure if this DYK is eligible. That being said, here is my "elevator pitch":

The executed Nicholas II of Russia. The queen that never set foot in her country, Alexandra of Yugoslavia. Accomplished Olympian Constantine II of Greece. The last king of the Congo, Baudouin of Belgium. An heir forging his 21st-century path, William, Prince of Wales. What do all of these people have in common (besides being royals)? They can claim descent from the Father-in-law of Europe, Christian IX of Denmark!

If this DYK is approved, readers will be enticed to learn about how the royal families of Europe are biological relatives to a closer extent than some may think! Created by AndrewPeterT (talk). Self-nominated at 03:12, 18 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]

@AndrewPeterT: Well done for nominating this article, a topic that is of great interest to me. The hook I prefer is ALT0. As you'd know, there are a few criteria for DYK:

• This article was moved into the mainspace on 14 March and nominated on 18 March. Therefore, it is new enough.
• My immediate primary concern for this article was the overwhelming amount of tables in its use. However, good use of background information for each child ensures that there are around 6800-6900 characters of original prose. This makes the article long enough.
• These hooks, of which I prefer ALT0, are adequately sources, so there do exist cited hooks.
• As you have less than five DYK nominations, there is no quid pro quo required.
• Finally, the article's prose is well cited. Information within some tables, however, is not. Though it is clear that effort has been made to source information in some tables, some tables lack sourcing entirely. I am not too concerned with lack of sources for their birth and death dates as that can be found on their respective articles, but it is moreso their children. For example, three of Princess Alexandra of Hanover and Cumberland's children lack sources.
• The article has good spelling and grammar. There are a few fixes that could be made:
  • "would go on to have" ➜ "had"
  • "would go on to fight" ➜ "fought"
  • "would go on long sea voyages..." ➜ "went on long sea voyages..."
  • "Also, Alexandra and Edward's eldest..." ➜ "Additionally [or Furthermore, Moreover, etc.], Alexandra and Edward's eldest..."
  • After addressing him, he no longer needs to be repeatedly called "George I", he can just be called "George". Same goes for anyone else with ordinals. If it is a new paragraph, feel free to restate the ordinal. I would suggest however, you write "Christian IX" instead of "Christian" the whole time.
  • "Dagmar took the name Maria Feodorovna" ➜ "Dagmar took the name "Maria Feodorovna"". Italics not needed here. Quotation marks around her name is optional and up to you.
  • "Moreover, both Nicholas and Michael were killed during the Russian Revolution." ➜ "Moreover, both Nicholas and Michael, along with Nicholas's five children, were killed during the Russian Revolution." Yes, only talking about the children are being talked about, but it is best to include them as they were also closely-related relatives who also died as a result of the Revolution.
  • In the ALT0 hook, I would change it from "the parents to" ➜ "the parents of".

So, in summary, all that needs to be addressed is the sourcing within tables and a few spelling and grammar mistakes. I am also a bit concerned with the amount of WP:WHITESPACE. If this can't be fixed, it is not too much of a concern. Please let me know if you need any assistance or clarification. I hope this helps and I look forward to hopefully having this in DYK. Thanks. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 00:39, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Therealscorp1an: Thank you very much for your detailed evaluation and feedback. I have no objections to the ALT0 hook being used on the Main Page. Could you please let me know when I should make the suggested changes? As you noted, I am still in the process of citing some of the information in the tables. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 02:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AndrewPeterT: As soon as possible. The quicker these are addressed, the quicker we can place it on DYK. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 04:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All suggested spelling and grammar corrections have been made. I am prioritizing citing sources for the great-grandchildren of Christian IX and Louise. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 04:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AndrewPeterT: Great job. There's one other thing I would change. In the caption of the photo that will be used for the hook, I would change "Christian IX with various children and grandchildren at Fredensborg Palace." to "1886 portrait of Christian IX and his family by Laurits Tuxen." It's best the artist is probably credited. Also, in the actual article, in order to aleviate some of the WP:WHITESPACE, I would remove the two protraits of Christian IX and Louise in the background section as there are paintings of them given in the table below so. Once you're done sourcing the table information, please let me know! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 00:08, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• This is not a full review, but the article is currently a stub and fails the WP:DYKCOMPLETE criteria. One of the reasons it is at WP:MERGEPROP is because the topic of the article is already covered more thoroughly at Phalanx CIWS#Centurion C-RAM. I think we would need to see the article significantly expanded in order to feature it at DYK. If content is merged from the Phalanx CIWS to the Centurion C-RAM article, I would argue that this isn't even a "new article". And we would need to see a 5x expansion from the prose size of the original section on this topic in the Phalanx CIWS article to feature it at DYK.4meter4 (talk) 16:11, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Geardona: Please respond to the above. Z1720 (talk) 12:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, at the point it was nominated it was rated C-class, no opinion on the rating change. As for the newness, it was a new article (moved from sandbox) when I nominated it, and it seemed to me that would be acceptable as 'new' under DYK policy, I don't see anything about splits in the DYK criteria.

X (talk) 21:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]

• I'll review this. Article length and eligibility checks out, and is generally quite presentable. I see no evidence of copyvio. Out of all of these, I think ALT2 is the best; but I don't really see evidence that it "loves lime" beyond its name, and the article is a bit vague about what the "loving" portion of "lime-loving" means. Unfortunately, I think the other two hooks are lengthy and not very interesting to a non-specialist audience. Can you find any sources about why it's a lime-loving lichen? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments:

@Generalissima, Hey thanks for reviewing the article. The term "lime-loving" in the common name "Lime-loving Tarpaper Lichen" refers to the preference of Enchylium limosum for habitats with alkaline or calcareous substrates. Limestone, which contains calcium carbonate, is commonly referred to as "lime," hence the name. Lichens like Enchylium limosum thrive in environments where calcium-rich minerals are present, such as limestone or dolomitic rocks. This particular fact is mentioned throughout the sources that are used in the article. Common names given to species are pretty much self-explanatory in most cases, including this one. These sources, although not particularly about the article's subject, will give an idea of why such species of the genera are called "lime-loving." 1, [2].

Sources that mention Enchylium limosum's calcareious habitat and common name are abundant and used throughout the article hence I felt it's redundant to mention them here.

I hope I was able to provide some ideas. Let me know if you have other questions/suggestions. Regards.

Edit: If you feel necessary, I can try to add more information explaining/shedding some background behind its common name in the etymology/taxonomy section. X (talk) 08:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Generalissima and Xoak: What is the status of this nom? (For the record, my gut reaction would be that saying something called "lime-loving" loves lime would come under WP:SKYISBLUE, although I'm happy to be swayed.)--Launchballer 09:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: I'm waiting myself to know. But nobody picked up on this. X (talk) 09:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to give this a couple of days for Generalissima to respond. Personally, I'd merge some of the single-sentence paragraphs per MOS:PARA; technically this isn't a DYK issue but it is part of the GA criteria and this article's a candidate, so worth remedying now.--Launchballer 09:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestions. I've merged some. Please feel free to suggest anything else you have in mind. X (talk)

• ALT3: that Enchylium limosum (pictured), a pioneer species that colonizes calcareous soils, derives its name from the Latin "limosus", meaning "full of mud" or "slime"?Source: [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk • contribs)

If I approve any hook on this page, it is probably going to be ALT2, although it given that the "lime-loving" bit comes from an alternative name that doesn't include "enchylium limosum", it might be worth proposing a belt-and-braces ALT using the second half of that name. I do not expect to need it though.--Launchballer 14:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator, I'd prefer ALT 2 as well. And for what's its worth: I can't agree enough with your previous comment relating to WP:SKYISBLUE. I don't think we need a source that mentions the blurb as is. Just because we have polices and we tend to stick to them for obvious good intentions, doesn't mean we need to overcomplicate things with bureaucratic procedures. Common sense can be applied in these instances. X (talk) 16:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Striking ALT1 due to WP:BLP issues; original hook struck because "scheming them" is confusing given the context: what does scheming a contract even mean? Please propose a new hook. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I strongly disagree with you that ALT1 is "negative" and a BLP issue. The wording is clear that he was accused, not convicted, of smuggling cocaine. It plainly does not violate BLP because it's sourced to the Associated Press, considered generally reliable at WP:RSP. Being accused of smuggling narcotics in an arm cast is unusual, quirky, absurd. ALT1 can be modified slightly to say that Malchow "was once detained" to lessen a perception that crime is Malchow's MO. But I find it odd to read it this way. SWinxy (talk) 18:06, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • SWinxy, it isn't just me: the consensus I'm seeing in the WT:DYK thread is that ALT1 is both negative and a BLP issue. "Accused" and "detained" both sound bad, and to add "once" would simply be read by most people that it happened in the past, not that it happened to him only once in his life: either way, he's painted as a drug smuggler on Wikipedia's front page. I strongly advise you to come up with an ALT2 that features a different set of facts, since ALT1—though you clearly like it—isn't going to be accepted at DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • The two concurring with you made their replies before I addressed your claim of it being a BLP issue. It's unfair to mark "consensus!" at the time right before I made my rebuttal to allow my point to be considered, and without responding directly to the rebuttal of the argument you made. I liked it and think it's interesting, yeah. el.ziade seemed to think so too in approving it, PrimalMustelid promoted it, and RoySmith said that I don't see anything in particular that's a problem here in opening it up for discussion.

• Regarding this nomination. It is a BLP so I am cautious about promoting a hook that seems to imply guilt before conviction. Also the bit in the hook about him being an associate professor... it appears in the lead uncited. In the body it just says "He began teaching at Kyoto's Ritsumeikan" - since it is a hook fact it should be stated in the body directly followed by a citation. The hook is 197 characters so it is 3 under the limit, but also gives too much info. (I also made this reply at DYK). I think we need a new hook that because this is a BLP.

• @An anonymous username, not my real name: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 13:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Bruxton:, five years later and Ozaki's whereabouts remain unclear, as well as the issue as to whether or not he was ever formally tried or convicted by any government. This source is rather intriguing and it seems quite plausible that he may have been among the militants sentenced to death (he certainly fits their description, but while the article mentions his name, it does not confirm that he was one of them). Without any formal conviction on record, I'm unsure what the hook would even be about, as he was only notable for his alleged IS membership. Perhaps something like "... that a Bangladeshi and Japanese academic, Mohammad Saifullah Ozaki, was captured in Syria and detained in Iraq?"? This is at least somewhat interesting without making any kind of accusation. Anonymous 01:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Access dates are the date the reference was accessed, web pages sometimes change and they're useful for establishing which version is being cited. My beef is that older references are usually an indicator of "this has existed elsewhere", which could mean this is a split, which could affect eligibility per WP:DYKLEN. Translations are fine though, per WP:DYKNEW.--Launchballer 12:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus and Casablanca Rock: Another issue is the source for the hook says, "In response to the criticism, the implementation of the law was postponed from January 1 to March 1." One of our rules is that the hook must have facts that are not likely to change WP:DYKHOOK. Was the law implemented on March 1? If so this article and hook will not be accurate.

@Lightburst, I will improve the sections as you've stated. The citation I had there was the best English language citation I could find, but there are more accurate Georgian language sources that explain more about the implementation of the law. It was delayed until June 1. The Georgian government released an update to the 2005 gambling law on the website of the legal corpus specifying the law going into effect on June 1. Sorry that this is a bit confusing, that previous article that has a lot of information about the law in English did not have the update of the law being delayed in implementation until June 1 instead of March 1. Please let me know if that source isn't good and I can try to find something else. There is an English language source that does mention the delayed implementation, but it is from a gambling industry news site.

• There are currently two major issues with the article. The first is that it is only 695 characters long, far below the 1500 character requirement. The second is that the hook does not meet WP:DYKINT; the hook is unlikely to be perceived as interesting to those who lack background in the subject. If the reader does not know who Ligeti is (for the record, I had never heard of him before this review), they wouldn't find the hook interesting or get the point. I'd suggest expanding the article further, above 1500 characters, and see if alternative hooks can be proposed. If you need help, I would suggest asking help from 4meter4 as he is knowledgeable about music articles. For the record, the first paragraph of the article is unreferenced, so that needs to be fixed. No close paraphrasing has been found, and the nominator has less than five nominations so no QPQ is needed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:18, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have expanded the article. Sorry I thought the hook was interesting but I suppose a more accessible hook is that Fratti, as a professional musician, still uses the same cello she was given by her school nearly twenty years later.Battleofalma (talk) 20:52, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the changes. @4meter4: Do you have an idea on how the cello angle could be worded? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:50, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5 The sources are much more in-depth than the current article. There's quite a lot of interesting personal information in https://pitchfork.com/features/profile/chasing-the-goblin-with-mabe-fratti-the-guatemalan-cellist-at-the-heart-of-mexico-city-avant-rock-scene/ for example. I find it interesting that Fratti's religious background initially limited her to classical and Christian music, but after losing her faith she got into playing rock-n-roll on her cello. That could be interesting as a hook if that content were added to the article. In general, I think the article could be expanded further with greater details from the cited materials. It's currently a borderline stub. I'd stay away from a Ligeti hook. Avant-garde music is well known inside music intellectual circles, but I don't think it's a name that is immediately recognizable to most people. The only people who will know it will be those who seriously follow 20th century avant-garde classical music. 4meter4 (talk) 01:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5:@4meter4: Apologies for the delay! Yes there is definitely more information to be gleaned from the sources but my focus was to get the highlights and chronology correct. The above suggestion about religion/music is good and I have expanded the article in this direction, but I also like the impact LimeWire had to her. Phrased as "(did you know) ... that avant-garde musician Mabe Fratti's religious upbringing restricted her to classical and Christian music until she discovered file sharing on LimeWire?".

• (Another reviewer may review this for necessary as this is my first review of a DYK BTW so sorry if I am not the best.) First thing, you need to complete a QPQ, meaning that you have to review another DYK article. The second problem, has something to do with the dates. It is a mix of dmy and mdy and the article should use one of those date formats, preferably dmy because its in Europe but mdy is also acceptable. Plus per MOS:DATESNO, no comma (and no full stop) is used for dmy dates so should be 26 May 2024 rather than 26. May, 2024. I also think a little bit of copyediting is necessary. I have also made an alternative hook because otherwise it looks like he performed three times on unspecified days: ALT0a: that 22-year-old singer Azahriah is the first Hungarian artist to sell out Puskás Arena on three consecutive days? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JuniperChill (talk • contribs) 20:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The buzz and anticipation (and spoilers^!) at r/Bluey on the eve of its U.S. release (the evening before, more like) compelled me to give this a shot at you-know-where--well after its original ABC airing, and mere minutes after its Disney+ bow; helps that I, an occasional but devoted viewer of the Heelers and company, actually watched along with my niece (via tablet) on that very day. It's not every season--or series (in that case)--you get to see WP coverage of an animated kidvid episode outside Nicktoons, Cartoon Network, and occasional in-house-Disney territory. (I speak from previous experience, as my early-era attempts at Care Bears episode articles ultimately went nowhere; such has been the fate of many recaps devoted to older shows in that demographic.)
    Not to mention TV Tropes and Know Your Meme had their own pages on this topic while ours was in dance draft mode!
    By the way, an episode like "The Sign" actually speaks volumes to yours truly, a former Connecticut resident (and animation lover--and immigrant from the Commonwealth of Dominica) who had to move to Central Florida seven years ago on account of his male superior's job change. (Shared that same memory to the niece.)
