This page holds approved nominations that are waiting to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page. Following DYK approval, nominations are processed and moved into a Prep area, and from there, prep sets are promoted to a queue, and then to the main page.

To create a new nomination or to see those that are yet to be approved, see Template talk:Did you know. For the discussion page see WT:DYK. Click on the link to go directly to the Special occasion holding area.

  If some of the nominations are not showing up properly at the bottom of the page, these alternative pages can be used to view a subset of the most recent nominations.

Instructions for nominators

[edit]

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

[edit]

Backlogged?

[edit]

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?

[edit]

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

[edit]

How to promote an accepted hook

[edit]
  • 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]
  • 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

[edit]

Special occasion holding area

[edit]
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.

  • New enough, long enough, sourcing is reliable and used appropriately. Neutral tone, no CV concerns, no other policy issues. QPQ ticks off the relevant criteria and is sufficient.
    Now for the bad news. I think the hook needs to be revised before this can run. Right now, the hook has too much information with too little context. It mentions Bilodeau's NHL-player dad, but omits the fact that Bilodeau played both hockey and basketball before picking basketball, making the mention of the hockey-playing dad feel irrelevant. On the flip side, it mentions his respect for his mother, but fails to note the that she was a professional basketball player! This changes the context of his sugary "I look up to my mom" quote completely. Without that context, it sounds like he's just a good ol' boy who loves his momma, not a young man following in the footsteps of another athlete.
    I would suggest either rewording it to remove the dad entirely and focus on him following in his mom's footsteps, or rewording to focus on his choice to pick one parent's sport over another. Since you're wanting to hold this for mother's day, I would suggest the former. I'm not going to suggest alts because that'll put me in a position where I can't be the reviewer. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:18, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Premeditated Chaos: Thanks, those are fair points which I had also pondered. What would you think of not mentioning his mom's background, as hopeful enticement to click on the article for more context? I wonder if saying his mom was a pro basketball player says all some readers need, without wanting to find out more?
    ALT1 ... that UCLA Bruins player Tyler Bilodeau said his mother "is who I look up to. She’s the reason I play basketball"?—Bagumba (talk) 22:05, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Absent the context of his mom being a pro basketball player, it sounds like the kind of space-filling platitude you'd expect any college kid to say in an interview. It's the mom being a pro that makes it significant in the first place. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:56, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd agree that many male players might say they look up to their mom, but I don't think many call them "the reason I play basketball". If you don't agree, I offer:
    ALT2 ... that UCLA Bruins player Tyler Bilodeau cited his mother, who played in the WNBA, as "the reason I play basketball"?—Bagumba (talk) 08:53, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend that the hook, which only appears in the lead, is also included in the body of the article and that the citation be moved to the body instead of the lead as per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section#Citations this recommendation. Both hooks are cited and are interesting. The floating seminary would have made a nice addition also. The tone conforms to the guidelines. Source review done (see comment above).

  • Nice work, looks good. New enough, long enough. I don't have access to Baltimore County Police, 1874–1999 but will AGF you didn't plagiarize from it and that it supports the hook. QPQ is good.
  • The main concern is hook interestingness. This isn't a fact about Stansbury, this is a fact about Some Other Guy, and it's not even directly tied to Stansbury (e.g. the article doesn't say Stansbury undermined Meyer and drove him out or the like). Temporary successors are very common. I would suggest that a hook on assigning officers to combat chicken theft, or him smoking a pipe called "Sherlock Holmes" to solve crimes (not in the article, but it's in the obituary), might be random-reader friendlier facts. Happy to draw up some suggested hooks if you'd like, or can wait on other hook suggestions. SnowFire (talk) 17:22, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ideea Sfatului Ţării atunci s-a pus într-o formă mai concretă. S-au ţinut în casa dlui Vladimir Herţa câteva consfătuiri la care au luat parte reprezentanţii tuturor naţionalităţilor şi s-a hotărât alcătuirea Sfatului Ţării, având să fie reprezentată în el fiecare naţionalitate în proporţia procentului ei de locuitori (moldovenii 70%).

Several meetings were held in Mr Vladimir Herța's home, joined by representatives of all nationalities, and a decision was made to establish Sfatul Țării, in which all nationalities would be represented in proportion to their share of the population (with Moldavians at 70%).")

    • Thank you kindly, Rusalkii! Concerning the quibble: the reason why the article doesn't use a consistent spelling is because the city changed names while VH was alive, which creates a bit of an anomaly. I preferred C rather than K in the hook only because this is the current name of the city, and the villa is still there -- granted, the K version would have had its own merits, since the high-society mentioned in ALT0 was Russian, but I figured not having the antiquated Russian version linked on the mainpage would have spared all of us some geopolitical controversy.

QPQ complete. My only "complaint", if you could call it that, is some of the most important information about the plant is missing from the "Plant" section. In other words, in addition to being a mystery as to how it got into the White House in the first place, it's also a mystery how the plant itself came to be known as Swedish ivy, as it's neither Swedish (it's native to South Africa) nor ivy (it's related to mint and sage).[5] Andersen's original 1984 piece for Time also goes into more detail that could be used in the plant section: it's low maintenance (it needs little care); it loves to be close to the light (the window facing the Rose Garden is to the left of it); it gets watered every day in the morning and gets fertilizer (20-20-20) once a month and is misted every six weeks; no insecticide is needed; it gets pruned back on top occasionally to preserve the visual sight of the Charles Wilson Peale painting of Washington hanging above it (is the painting still there?) Despite all of this, the plant is not the only one, and is rotated with another, but both are eventually replaced after some time (five years? It's unclear).[6] No real preference on the hooks, but I like ALT0 and ALT2. Viriditas (talk) 21:57, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article was expanded fivefold in the last week; it's long enough, well-sourced (U.S. Congress biodict is technically non-independent but the statements aren't controversial), and neutral; an Earwig check comes up clean and a QPQ's been done.

Several journalistic investigations have also claimed that it was Shmelev who carried out the rumoured plastic surgeries on prominent Chilean communist Luis Corvalan when the latter found refuge in USSR after being freed from the jails of Augusto Pinochet."

    Interesting article about a neglected masterwork, on plenty of fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. I like the original hook and ALT1. The image is licenced and a must imho. In case it is not taken, we should add the famous architect's name that can be concluded from the image. I wonder if File:Walser House 1.JPG would be the better image option, looking more like spring ;) - In the article, I'd say about the last owners, instead of "respective deaths", just "after they died" and follow with the deterioration.

Epicgenius (talk) 16:28, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Epicgenius: The Richmond Landon article is now long enough to match the quota. Early Olympians typically did not have long, sustained, careers, so that's why the "career" section is not very long. Additionally, lots of the "contemporary" coverage of their relationship is gossip fluff that's essentially impossible to use in an encyclopedic tone. I believe that these articles are rounded enough to meet WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Alice was mostly a housewife (I'll incorperate it somewhere), so that's why her "personal life" may not be so detailed. Richmond has less coverage on him due to the fact that he lived a much shorter life, and that Alice was one of the first female Olympians. I hope this clears some things up as to why some sections seem short. Cheers, -1ctinus📝🗨 12:53, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • QPQ is done. Article is new enough and long enough and within policy in regards to referencing, neutrality, etc. Earwig did detect a possibility of close paraphrasing but this was due to quoted text in the article which was properly attributed and to some lengthy official names which really can't be changed so I think it's fine. The original hook does not work as it pipes to something completely unrelated to the bolded text, and doesn't feature the subject of the article. However, the alt hook proposed by Antony-22 solves this problem, and is both interesting and verifiable to the cited reference. Hook Alt1 may be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 17:25, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Greenfield tornado

    • Source: This for the existence of crops and their description as "volunteer crops", this American Meteorology Society blog (deemed reliable enough in this context) for the first claim - “We’re trying to give a range, which puts this event at 309–318 mph.” The two strongest known tornadoes, El Reno in 2013 and Bridge Creek in 1999, both had DOW-measured wind speeds within that range. I can get a better source if necessary.
    • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Bargain Hunters
    • Comment: Just passed GAN, this is a great hook for WP:DYKAPRIL. "Volunteers" refers to crops planted by natural processes instead of humans and I don't think a tornado can be reasonably referred to as a human, and there's some double speak going on equating Greenfield, Iowa, with a literal agricultural field.

    @Lullabying: What's your opinion on this as an April 1 hook? Should it be rephrased to get there? That's the primary reason why I did this GA. Departure– (talk) 03:25, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Lullabying and Departure: just to comment narrowly on "Earwig shows an unlikely copyright violation of 24.8", you need to look at more than just the big number at the top of the report. Read through the report and look at the matches. In this case, most of them are proper nouns (Doppler on Wheels, National Weather Service) or direct quotes ("No matter what the wind speed ..."), so they're fine. You also need to look in the other direction, for places where text from the source has undergone trivial modifications to avoid detection by Earwig. This is called close paraphrasing. You also need to look at the sources beyond just the top one in the report. In this case this source has the direct copy of received new golf clubs from Callaway and TaylorMade, and he also received an invitation to play in the John Deere Classic mini Pro-Am. That should either be rewritten or at least quoted and attributed. RoySmith (talk) 12:22, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I think it might need to be rephrased for the April hook. As someone who doesn't know much about this topic, maybe the part including "volunteers" might make it a little confusing and technical.

    @Lullabying: Sorry for the late response. Volunteer is a very technical term but it contributes to the joke I'm trying to make on this hook. It works fine either way. Either way, it's linked as the correct terminology in the article, and will almost certainly get readers interested in the term of volunteering, if only to understand this hook.

    1. Article was nominated right after expansion, so it passes the newness check.
    2. Article is exceeds 1,500 bytes, so it passes the minimum length check. Number of characters in current version's prose is five times greater than the prose prior to expansion, so it satisfies the fivefold expansion criterion.
    3. The academic articles used in this article look reputable and are used appropriately for each sentence in the prose. Earwig shows no obvious plagiarism.
    4. Hook only has one bolded link, so the presentability rule does not apply here. Hook is concise and adequately cited with two sources, although the second source of them are paywalled. I can access the second source via my university or Sci-Hub, so I can confirm they are accurate to the quote and citation here.
      1. I do have one minor issue though. I think it would be helpful to provide a link for the first source of the hook citation, as well as italicized the first source's title link you did for the second source. Would this link work? (https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/view/398/835)
    5. The article's image is public domain, licensing is accurate to its source, and is recognizable at low resolution.
    6. Looking at the article, I see no glaring errors in the prose. Prose reads clearly.
    7. I see no other issues other than the source link for the hook citation and your upcoming QPQ (QPQ is done). Good work! I look forward to passing this one once these are out of the way. Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 00:06, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article uses the pronouns they/their/them and it/its for Re-Logic as a company. I suggest using only the pronouns it/its for the company and leaving the pronouns they/their/them only when explicitly referring to employees.
    • Google reached out to Re-Logic about the account shutdown and provided transparency around the situation and restored their accounts the two "and"s sound odd. I suggest replacing the first "and" with a comma.

However, it is unclear if the Mpumalanga specimen named M. tenuis by Roberts (1951) or the Mpumalanga records of M. cafer should be reassigned to M. cf. tenuis or remain M. cafer. Further vetting of museum records is needed to resolve the taxonomy. In order to finally resolve the suitability of M. tenuis as the correct name for the Limpopo lineage, further research is needed based on detailed comparisons of dental, morphometric, and molecular characters of the holotype of M. tenuis.

    • Cute little article about a cute little critter! Recently expanded, well-sourced, long enough, and seems to cover at least the basics if not everything known about the species. The major sources, including those for the hooks, are publicly available, and neither I nor Earwig see any copyright concerns.

    Ref spotcheck nitpick, not enough to hold back the nom: Smith has "He had been editor of weeklies that were credited with closing the saloons in nearby Hartford City and Montpelier.", wheras the article has "his reporting". I'm not sure "his reporting" is a reasonable extrapolation of him being the editor. Rusalkii (talk) 21:51, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • The two hooks are cited from a book but I am prepared to accept them in good faith. I have confirmed the ALT1 hook from another cited source which is on-line (Conkite News 2023-07-19). I think the first hook is better as it is less likely to be read as a criticism for the team. It is a bit long, perhaps lose the word 'forcefully'? The article is new and shows evidence of wide research, reporting facts without too great bias towards one viewpoint or another. It is rather heavy on Major League Baseball and would benefit from similar detail in the other sports that are covered. Note that the link in the hook geos to Pride Nights but the page has been moved to Pride Night which is the term used in the hook. Geof Sheppard (talk) 16:56, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I am not comfortable with this. Yes, there is WP:NOTTRUTH. And having a sweet taste is completely independent from whether or not something is toxic. But I don't think the article should be claiming that the plant is edible. I've long been aware that Plants for a Future cites sources that incorrectly claim toxic plant are edible. The cases I'm most aware of are Cicuta virosa and Conium maculatum, where there is a prominent "Known Hazards" section on PFAF, but they go on to show a 1 out of 5 edibility rating (not 0 out of 5), and have citations in the Edible Uses section followed by another disclaimer (which isn't cited, but shows that they know the source they are citing is incorrect).

    While I would guess that nibbling on a few columbine flowers is pretty harmless, it is not something I would encourage. PFAF's source is is Schofield's Discovering Wild Plants: Alaska, Western Canada, the Northwest'. Schofield's account has the heading "COLUMBINE (Aquilegia species)", and goes on to give common names and distributions for three species, with 5 more species listed with out common name or precise distribution (including A. Shockley [sic]). PFAF's account for Aquilegia vulgaris has Known Hazards saying it is toxic, and goes on to cite Schofield under Edible Uses. PFAF's Aquilegia canadensis page has the same wording under Known Hazards as it does for A. shockleyi and goes on to cite Schofield under Edible Uses. Schofield does not mention either A. vulgaris or A. canadensis. So PFAF is apparently taking Shofield's "Aquilegia species" heading to apply Schofield's edibility claims to all Aquilegia species, not just the 8 listed by Schofield. But PFAF goes the other way for toxicity claims in their known hazards section. If any Aquilegia has had it's toxicity studied, it's going to be A. vulgaris. I would expect most Aquilegias (especially those with more limited ranges such as A. shockleyi) have not had their toxicity formally evaluated While PFAF is extending edibility claims beyond the species for which sources make an edibility claim, it is not extending toxicity claims beyond species that sources claim.

    So let's look at what Schofield wrote for "Aquilegia species". Under Food Use, she writes "Columbine flowers are one of my favorite trail snacks. The nectar-laden tips are sweet and delightful on a hike. I also like to add the flowers to summer salads." Under Caution she writes "most parts of the plant contain a cyanogenic glycoside...Though I have eaten the blossoms on numerous occasions, I would not recommend eating large quantities of columbine flowers. In moderation, they appear to have no ill effects."

    Schofield often gives sources (some of which are personal communication) in her accounts of uses of various plants, but she does make some claims that are unsourced. Her account of food uses of Aquilegia is more unusual as it is entirely written as personal experience. While A. Shockley is a species listed in her Aquilegia account, Schofield lives in Alaska, and it seems unlikely that A. shockleyi is a species she has personally experienced eating. Here is a blog post that questions PFAF's edibility claims for columbine. Plantdrew (talk)

    Without getting too far in the weeds (pun intended), I'm aware of concerns regarding this. But the sourcing indicates that consumption of this species is not dangerous, and the phytochemicals associated with toxic Aquilegia are present in substantially lower numbers in all North American red columbines. With that in mind, I intentionally refrained from saying that they were safe to eat in the article. Speaking as someone who grew up eating columbines, and just as often A. chrysantha as A. coerula (the latter being objectively more dangerous), I am a little more comfortable with describing the flavor, given the sourcing. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:51, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:23, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Pbritti: Seems a little hard to follow. How about ALT2 as:
    • ... that Aquilegia shockleyi (pictured) was first thought to live in a single canyon in Nevada, but was later discovered in California?
    Alternatively, consider ALT3:
    which seems more interesting to me as a non-botanist. ThaesOfereode (talk) 14:44, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @ThaesOfereode: If you're willing to wait, I'm writing an article on said mining engineer (he was a prominent guy in several trades and the father of a co-inventor of the transistor). I could add it to ALT3. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:08, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @ThaesOfereode: I went a step further, creating William H. Shockley and expanding Lupinus shockleyi (Shockley's wife, who is why Silicon Valley is where it is, will get her due soon!). Shockley's article isn't completed, but it's good for now.

    Done, done, and done. Passing ALT4 as is. I hope you don't mind that I've added a fair use image to Shockley's page. Consider following the source rabbit hole; I suspect there may be a worthwhile PD image already, but I don't know enough about copyright to feel comfortable staking a claim there.

    • Apologies for my intrusion, but I do have some concerns. If this is all the sourcing that there is I am really not sure this is notable per WP:NEVENT? This is a very severe event and the coverage is somewhat in depth, but every source cited is in a time period of less than a month, failing WP:LASTING. Is there nothing else? Because if there isn't, should we really have an article on something that made the news for less than a month and then was never mentioned again? And, if the sources do exist but are not here, then I do not think we are getting a complete picture of the event as required for WP:DYKCOMPLETE. PARAKANYAA (talk) 07:49, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      • "He became the FIHA president an outside person was needed to resolve internal problems, and used his business connections to Finland's advantage when it sought greater influence in internationally ice hockey."
      • "He became the president of FIHA at a time when an external figure was needed to address internal issues. With Kalervo Kummola as his vice president, Hietarinta leveraged his business connections to help Finland gain more influence in international ice hockey."

    WP:EARWIG shows potential copyvios with https://oakridgetoday.com/2013/09/05/william-jenkins-wilcox-jr/ . Some of the detections are unproblematic, like the use of standard job titles. Others are borderline cases, like He spearheaded the effort to collect oral histories on the Manhattan Project, which are kept in the Oak Ridge Public Library. in our article vs He headed the effort to collect oral histories on the Manhattan Project, which are housed at the Oak Ridge Public Library. in the source. I think it concerns primarily the paragraphs starting with "After the war, he...", "Wilxcox had a heart attack...", and "In retirement, Wilcox became..". To be on the safe side, it might be best to reformulate them to make sure that the word choice and structure of the texts are not too similar.

    • ... that several research grants worldwide are now awarded randomly via funding-by-lottery?
    • Source: The source text from the article reads "As of early 2025, about a dozen funders worldwide have implemented funding-by-lottery via partial lotteries in their funding calls.[11]" It is the last sentence of the introduction section, and reference [11] points to an academic article on the subject (https://doi.org/10.1093/reseval/rvae025), listing all known research funding organizations that use a lottery.
      Then, a later section of this Wikipedia article (#"Existing funding lotteries") lists all funders that use fudning-by-lottery, providing additional references for each of them.
    • ALT1: ... that several research funding organizations are now running funding-by-lottery programs, leading to ongoing discussions about the benefits and risks of funding science by lottery?
    • Source: This hook states the same fact as above, that some science today is funded via lotteries. In addition, it also states that there is a controversy around this.
      The controversy is summarized in the introduction section of this article, reading: "There is no scholarly consensus on the benefits and drawbacks of funding-by-lottery.[6][7][8] Proponents argue that it can help mitigate biases in funding allocation and minimize the high costs associated with grant writing and peer review.[2][5] Critics, however, express concerns that diminishing the role of peer review panels in funding decisions could lead to a decline in the quality of funded projects and undermine public trust in funders, in scientific peer review, and ultimately in science at large.[9][10]". All references that appear in this paragraph are to academic articles voicing the stated opinion. Arguments in favor and against funding-by-lottery are then fleshed out in full in a dedicated section of this Wikipedia article (#"Scholarly debate"), where all reported opinion statements are supported by one or multiple academic references.
    • Reviewed:
    • Comment: In academic circles the topic is quite hot. Over 2/3 of all peer-reviewed papers on the subject have been published in the last 5 years, and opinion pieces on the subject have appeared in top-tier academic journals such as Science, Nature, The Lancet, PNAS (see reference list within the article). It was a surprise to me when I learned that a Wikipedia article on this was only a stub, so I decided to do something about it.
    I am a new Wikipedia editor, and a more experienced editor, "Piotrus", was kind enough to lend a hand by giving me feedback as I was working on a draft of this article in my user namespace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pulcis/Funding-by-lottery). I reached out to Piotrus for help because he was the author of the article stub that I expanded, and I figured he might be willing to help me out fill in his stub.
    For context, I am an academic myself, and I do research on science funding -- hence my knowledge on the subject and my interest in improving this article. However, to be clear, I did not use this article to promote my own work, nor the work of colleagues/friends.

    Good job on the article and an interesting topic. I have just a few items. A few of the paragraphs are missing citations. It's implied that full lotteries are not currently used, but it would be more clear to state this explicitly if true. I believe that it's grammatically correct for the term to be "funding by lottery" without hyphens, since in English this usage of hyphens is usually reserved for compound adjectives; it looks like both variations are used in sources, so unless hyphens are used overwhelmingly I'd prefer the grammatically standard spelling.

    I don't think that the original hook is precise enough, since all existing funding by lottery schemes are not entirely random but still include peer review. Neither hook is particularly interesting; generally hooks that focus on a more specific interesting fact rather than being a generic description are better. Other than these, it is new and long enough, QPQ is not needed, Earwig shows no copyvios, so it should be ready to go with these minor changes.

    Antony-22, thank you for leaving a review and cleaning up the page. I implemented the suggested changes. In order to de-hyphenate "funding-by-lottery" I also moved the page to Funding by lottery. And while I can't think of a better hook, I remain of course open to any improvements.
    Pulcis (talk)
    @Pulcis: Thanks, the article issues have been dealt with. For the hook, I'd suggest language like "incorporates a random element" which is more precise. Also perhaps name some of the countries using it? Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 22:59, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Antony-22:, I like your suggestion for an improved hook. How about the following:
    • ALT2: ... that several research grants in North America, Europe and New Zealand are now awarded through funding by lottery, where peer review includes a randomization element?
    A variant could be:
    • ALT3: ... that in North America, Europe and New Zealand, research funding is sometimes distributed through a system that incorporates randomization - known as funding by lottery?
    I'm not sure whether I need to update my nomination to reflect this, and if so, which page to change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pulcis (talk • contribs)
    ALT2 and ALT3 look fine to me, this is ready to go. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 19:20, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hook length is good, and hook statement is properly cited. 15X expansion is recent enough. Earwig says 46% similarity to the NHRP report, which is a little high but is explained by the many direct quotes and common phrases. (I decline to read that document in full, as it is a 73-page PDF.)

    Overall: This is a well-written and well-sourced article, ZKang123. The article became GA on 29 March and was nominated on the following day, well within the 7-day period. Since it is a GA, I will skip the source spotchecks. Earwig shows no copyvio. QPQ done. I personally find the hook to be middling. While it is a "first of something" hook, I do not think that an infill station status is particularly interesting to a general audience. I understand why the nominator chose this fact, after reading the article, as much of the content is more technical. But I was considering that perhaps a hook about Andre Wee's artwork Continuity could be generated. I am not opposed to the current hook and will defer to the nominator to see if they wish to proceed with it. Another suggestion would be to consider adding one of the images used in the article to the nomination. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 10:46, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for the review Suntooooth. Regarding ALT1: You're right (of course), and I would need to add something to the effect of "Gibbons was in her eighties at the time" to the article for that hook to work. Though I originally meant to include a sentence like that, I'm now undecided as to whether it belongs in the article. Because I'll probably keep going back and forth for the next few weeks, it'll be safer to use one of the other two hooks. If ALT2 is good, then I'd say we use that one.

    Yep, I agree - it's not particularly necessary to fix ALT1 when there's other perfectly good hooks.

The hook is in the article - I found it interesting that Klingenheben himself used a plural term in German, whereas a singular English term was coined. There's a few redlinks in the article, I don't see anything in the guidelines against this - I imagine even in the vast repository of Wikipedia, Hausa linguistic rules are still relatively obscure.

    @Dclemens1971 and John Cummings: The current hook is 195 characters long and thus very close to the 200-character limit. Can hook be trimmed? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:29, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @John Cummings and Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the review! I tried to trim slightly but the wiki markup for superscript still takes up characters. This is two characters shorter: "that when the 3,400 m2 St Peter's Cathedral was built on tiny Likoma Island, just 18 km2 in Lake Malawi, it was believed to be the largest building in Central Africa?" I also looked at the Copvio Detector and everything it flagged was inside of three short quotations and thus should be in compliance with MOS:QUOT, but let me know if there was something specific you saw that wasn't in quotation marks.

    That is still far too long. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:49, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Narutolovehinata5: The interestingness of the hook, to me, is in emphasizing the mismatch between the large size of the building and the small size of the island. Obviously we could trim the hook by eliminating the references to the sizes of the island and building, but I do think it loses a bit of the punch. The alternative would be ... that when St Peter's Cathedral was built on tiny Likoma Island in Lake Malawi, it was believed to be the largest building in Central Africa?, which is 140 characters. I will leave to you and @John Cummings: to decide if that is superior to the version that includes size figures. Whatever you decide is fine with me!

    General: Article is new enough and long enough

    Policy compliance:

    Hook eligibility:

    • Cited: Yes
    • Interesting: Yes
    • Other problems: No - The hook should specify how much "longer" the pink scaled squid mates in comparison to other species of squid. As quoted in WP:DYKINT: The hook should be likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest
    QPQ: None required.

    Overall: @Anthropophoca: New enough (created March 30), article is long enough, NPOV, hook is cited to a RS and QPQ is not needed. Earwig shows a "violation unlikely" result with 7.4% similarity. However, there are a couple of issues that need to be addressed before it can meet the standards for DYK. The article includes a few claims that require additional sourcing, particularly the details about the prolonged mating behavior of the male squid and its comparison to other species. To meet WP:DYKCITE, the article should address the "[verification needed]" and "[additional citation(s) needed]" templates and ensure that all facts are properly referenced.

    While the hook mentions that mating is prolonged, it could be clarified further ("mates for longer than other species of squid" is vague—how much longer?). Specifying how much longer this mating process lasts compared to other squid species would help eliminate any ambiguity and strengthen the hook. Additionally, the subject of the hook, "pink scaled squid", should be boldlinked to the article Pholidoteuthis adami for consistency with DYK guidelines. For example, may I suggest an alternative hook for ALT0A: "... that the male pink scaled squid mates upside down and holds the female for a prolonged period, much longer than other squid species?". Cattos💭 15:05, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Cathodography: Is it not ok if the hook is vague, but the details are further explained in the article? The original source had this to say on the matter "During in situ observations with the ROVs, both pairs were encountered very close to the bottom but not resting on it. The bright lights of the ROV did not seem to disturb the mating pairs at all. The first pair was recorded for 18 s; the second for 1 min and 50 s", which to me sounds like they did not record the mating process in its entirety.
    The comparison with other squid species is made here: "Because spermatangia have been found implanted seemingly nonselectively at various locations on some mated female deep-sea squid, mating is thought to happen quickly (1, 1). In P. adami, however, mating is not swift. The P. adami male was seemingly holding the female very firmly, and mating was prolonged. The opening of the terminal organ of the museum specimen is narrow and suggests that only one spermatophore is released at a time....The successful implantation of 15–20 spermatangia probably takes some time." The other squid species in question is Octopoteuthis deletron, whose page is explicitly linked in the relevant segment of the DYK candidate, and the page on O. deletron also mentions the mating behavior.
    Hence, I do not think that the hook needs to explain the phenomena in its entirety, though I'm always open to differences in wording, and perhaps i should explain exactly how many spermatangia were implanted in the museum specimen. I will track down the additional citation needed, though i suspect that the second citation on that page already gives enough information. Cheers, Anthropophoca (talk) 15:51, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe I've addressed the issue, though as stated in the hidden comments, I believe the article could use the recordings of the mating process, which should be in the Public Domain (Sourced from NOAA), but I couldn't verify the copyright at this time. Help to upload and verify this video would be greatly appreciated.Anthropophoca (talk) 16:29, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Dwkaminski Can you explain what is not interesting about the hook and what should be reworded? The hook information is clearly in the article - "Prior to being inducted into the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame in 2022, Schipper wrote letters to prior winners and went to their recognition ceremonies.", "As part of that organization, Schipper developed it, discussed matters with legislators, and testified in court", and "Schipper testified during Shanahan's trial as an expert in domestic violence." The text matches are three quotes and names of organizations. SL93 (talk) 20:31, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair enough on mentioned in the article. For interest, just going by the DTYK checklist - Is the hook mentioned in the article and likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest? Takea look a the Ferak source - it mentions that she testified in 115 separate court cases. I think that would make a more interesting hook.Dwkaminski (talk) 20:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Garbage Offensive

    (
    )
    • Source: The Garbage Offensive was a community service initiative that evolved into a series of protests occurring throughout the summer of 1969 in East Harlem, New York City:
    "On Sunday, July 27, the Lords of New York blocked the avenue of El Barrio. This action grew in size through the summer, as the frustrated, forgotten mass of Puerto Ricans joined in barricading the avenues and streets. Soon the garbage action turned into a confrontation with police, and the YLO became experienced in street fighting, in basic urban guerilla tactics, the hit and run. For the first time in years, the pigs came into the ghetto with respect and fear in their eyes. This period of the summer of 1969 is referred to as the Garbage Offensive." (Enck-Wanzer 2010, p.31)
    "What they called “the Garbage Offensive” demanded adequate neighborhood sanitation services but implied much more." (Fernández 2020, p. 91)
    • Source: Garbage-dumping protests continued throughout August, with one demonstration on August 17 resulting in garbage being set on fire at multiple intersections across the neighborhood:
    "As the protests drew more people, they grew more spectacular. Through word of mouth, the Young Lords put out a call for a “mass action” on August17. On that night, as Young Lords assembled the garbage at the intersection of110th Street and Third Avenue, crowds gathered and grew quickly. Some of the onlookers pushed the protest in a new, more flagrant direction. Several men poured gasoline on the refuse heaps and set them aflame. In later recollections, several Young Lords said that they were not involved in lighting the garbage on fire, but they purposely did not try to stop their neighbors. And when someone planted the Puerto Rican flag atop one of the garbage heaps, the sense of solidarity, pride, and rebellion grew appreciably." (Fernández 2020, p. 103)
    "Protests escalated when the police arrested Ildefenso Santiago, a Puerto Rican driver whose car was blocked by the garbage bonfire burning on 111th Street and Lexington Avenue." (Fernández 2020, p. 104)

    •  Reviewing... Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 19:53, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Article is new enough, long enough, and meets minimum quality requirements.
    • Note the changes I made to the lead: All information in the lead should appear in the body (including the full name and the dates and locations of birth and death), the birth and death locations don't need to be in the parenthetical at all, and the dates of birth and death should be separated by an N-dash (–) instead of a hyphen (-). Ideally the lead would summarize each main point of the article as well—it's strange to me that being president of the Chamber of Commerce isn't even mentioned there.
    • The article would greatly benefit from a reorganization or rewrite to eliminate the WP:PROSELINE-style writing, but that's above DYK's paygrade.
    • I'm unable to access the NYT sources, but the other two are cited and verified. Page 42 of Cassels (1960) only says he used crayons, but page 114 confirms that they were pencil crayons.

    Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
    QPQ: None required.

    Overall: There is a 'citation needed' tag that needs to be resolved before the nomination can be approved. The quote that is used in the hook needs a reference immediately after it. I checked the source and it is accurately represented. Usually I would fix it myself, but I'll leave it to you, User:Engineerchange, as the three references may refer to different parts of the preceding text and I didn't want to break the attribution by duplicating just the one.

    The bit about King getting two PhDs was a little unclear to me; perhaps it would be worth changing the order of the information so that you say he got two PhDs first and then where from. That's a minor bit and isn't holding up the nomination.

    A spot check against the 'Who's who', the obituary in The Courier-News, and Dyes Made in America didn't turn up any problems with copyright etc or WP:V. I noticed that 'Who's who' and the obituary contained two different given names for his wife: Mary Ruegger (WW) and Eugenie (nee Ruegger) (obit). I'm guessing it's the same person as they have the same surname and in different situations she went by Mary or Eugenie. Is this addressed by any of the sources you've come across? It might be worth mentioning the different in a footnote even if there isn't a solution at the moment. Similarly, it would be interesting to note how Mary/Eugenie was related to Charles R. Ruegger – again that isn't holding up the nomination, just something that would be good to address at some point.

    I have made two small edits to the article which you may like to check. Overall, an interesting article and well researched. Richard Nevell (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Richard Nevell: I've resolved most of your comments: removed citation needed given I actually found that Wood-Ridge is a place (the father-in-law was from there, so makes sense); clarified the citations around the quotation as requested; cited marriage and father-in-law full name (I think "Mary" is wrong in the one cite, not sure if a footnote is necessary for one cite, but wouldn't mind some help there if you disagree). I'm stuck on the two PhDs thing, I haven't done extensive research to find an additional cite to clarify, but I do think I've combed the lion's share of available sources. Thanks for reviewing and the kind words! Cheers, --Engineerchange (talk) 14:20, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    General: Article is new enough and long enough
    Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
    Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
    QPQ: Done.

    Overall: Citations 2, 4, 16, 18, and 30 randomly spot-checked for verification; no issues arose. All the hooks are mentioned and verified with the given sources in the article. Leaning towards ALT0 or ALT4. ALT0 might need "fictional" before character like ALT2 to avoid WP:DYKFICTION. I think ALT4 would be more eye-catching if the genre was mentioned, i.e. "... that the psychological thriller film Peg O' My Heart ..." That would require a sentence using citation 41 though. Yue🌙 07:03, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Thanks for your review, Yue! ALT0 is also my favorite, so perhaps we can proceed with it. Adding the word "fictional" as suggested:
    ALT0: ... that a fictional character from Peg O' My Heart complained about his insomnia with netizens on Threads? —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 08:47, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Article new enough and long enough with no copyvio detected - Earwig only flagged names of the various organizations. ALT1 and ALT2 verified in sources and are cited inline. @Epicgenius: specifically for ALT0, if I'm reading correctly Hoover attended the dedication in November 1961, not the opening in September 1961. Not going to hold up the nom, but you might want to change that word. Juxlos (talk) 14:16, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • What a fascinating article! I can't believe this was just created a week ago; it feels like a gap in the encyclopedia has just been filled, so thank you for that. The article is new enough, long enough, and very well written. Twinkle returns a stunning 0.0% similarity, and the article is well sourced in general. QPQ is complete. I do have one question on the hook: are the "Malukan peoples" referring to the Moluccan people? I think that may not be evident for someone not familiar with the region or its history. My suggestion would be to wikiling "Malukan" or rephrase slightly to make it more accessible. This could be:

    Let me know which you think is best or if you have another idea, and I will approve the hook. Thanks again for an excellent article! Fritzmann (message me) 12:34, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Fritzmann2002: I pasted the quote directly from the source (so I'd say ALT0b). I warrant that they are different groups of people, but the distinction was probably both lesser in the 1700s and Europeans halfway across the planet probably couldn't tell the difference. Juxlos (talk) 13:13, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sounds good to me, approve ALT0b. Fritzmann (message me) 13:27, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Overall: @Epicgenius: This article was made one day ago so it clearly meets the newness requirement. QPQ is met. I made a minor edit to your hooks just to wikilink Frank Lloyd Wright. An overview of the sources shows no problems with them and I can't find any major problems stopping this from becoming a DYK. The first hook is not too interesting since most people wouldn't know that this hospital visit would be shortly before his death. All of the other hooks are intersting and good though.

Hooks are cited, short enough for DYK, and interesting; I personally think ALT1 is the best of the given options. Nominator is QPQ exempt. Morgan695 (talk) 01:49, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • I really enjoyed reading this Brazil-related article! Definitely think the hook is interesting. The article is new enough (created 5 April), is long enough, is NPOV, hook is cited to a RS and QPQ is not needed. Earwig, a tool to avoid plagiarism, shows a "violation unlikely" result with 1.0% similarity. Great job with the article (and your first DYK approval)!
