  • Approved: Article is long enough, and generally in good shape. It's an old article, but expanded within the window. QPQ is done. I think ALT0 and ALT2 are the best of the hook: ALT1 is pretty opaque, to my reading, and I'm not sure how interesting ALT3 and ALT4 would be to a general audience. If using ALT2, I would be inclined to link Wright on "its architect". Those two hooks are cited and included in the article.
Freedom of Panorama law for buildings in the United States requires that the building be visible from a public place: looking at the map on the page, the images seem to be taken from the house's grounds and driveway, but by the very scientific method of looking on Google Street View, I think we're fine, as the Street View car was able to photograph the house from the road. That question aside, there are no evident copyvio or BLP concerns. UndercoverClassicist T·C 14:04, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review UC. (With regards to freedom of panorama, the building was completed prior to December 1, 1990, which according to c:COM:FOP US makes the building itself public domain except for the plans, regardless of whether it can be seen from a public place. At least, that's my understanding of the matter.) Epicgenius (talk) 18:15, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, looking at that page, I have the same understanding, so the point's moot in any case -- the building is PD for the purposes of photos. UndercoverClassicist T·C 18:27, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Source: "The most important German naval enterprise established in the Netherlands was the design firm of N.V. Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw, or IvS (a front for AG Vulcan Stettin, AG Weser and Germaniawerft), founded in The Hague in 1922. Admiral Paul Behncke, commander of the post-war German Reichsmarine from 1920 to 1924, insisted that German naval design, particularly U-boat design, be continued clandestinely abroad and was the driving force behind the establishment of IvS...The Koninklijke Marine, through the association of its own personnel with these firms, received access to their technical developments while allowing the Reichsmarine and later Kriegsmarine to cover much of the financial investment."
    "DE RUYTER CLASS CRUISER DE RUYTER...The Koninklijke Marine turned to IvS to prepare the design of the new cruiser, intent on taking advantage of the firm’s access to recent German design developments." PG 10, 12, 18, 20 from The Royal Netherlands Navy of World War II by Ryan Noppen

  • The article is new enough (GA on 27 April 2025), long enough (15.771 characters), has no copyright issues (per GA review), and is presentable (per readthrough and GA review). QPQ is not required. The image is used in the article and its license seems in order. The first hook is interesting, but seems incorrect because the ship was ordered in 1932, and design started before that, and Nazi Germany was established in 1933. ALT1 is interesting, but also seems incorrect, only objections to an already proposed design emerged through the essay contest, according to the article. Therefore I prefer ALT2, but I noticed that the year 2016 that is not in the article text. From the source that covers the other elements, it is not clear when exactly the discovery was made, so I approve the shorter ALT3 version. – Editør (talk) 09:48, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • ALT3 ... that the shipwreck of HNLMS De Ruyter (pictured) went missing, leaving only an imprint on the ocean floor?
    • @Editør: Thank you for the response! While I do not object to ALT3, I believe thw main hook is still factual. Ship design does not end when the vessel is laid down; instead, it is a continuous effort until (and even after) she enters service. De Ruyter entered service in 1936, well after IvS was directly influenced by Nazi Germany. Even by the most conservative definitions, only the concept design of De Ruyter was finished when she was ordered in 1932. The Kriegsmarine was founded in 1935, meaning there was a solid year when IvS was funded by the Kriegsmarine as the cruiser was still being worked on. What do you think of this?

  • @DaniloDaysOfOurLives: The article looks good. It was moved out of userspace at the end of April. The QPQ is good. The quote from the book's blurb is styled as a MOS:PULLQUOTE, and I don't think it meets WP:NPOV. A few quick solutions that come to mind would be to style it as a regular {{blockquote}}, to select a passage from the book that illustrates something about the writing rather than the promotion blurb (this would still go against MOS:PULLQUOTE but that's not a dealbreaker for DYK), to do both of the previous ideas, or remove the quote. If you have another better idea feel free to try that as well. I think the first hook looks solid. The ALT3ALT2 hook also passes, but do you think it could be phrased to more clearly indicate that it's about 17 libraries in Coventry? ALT1 does not meet WP:DYKHOOKSTYLE. No other issues. All quotes are clear and attributed with citations. {{Ping}} me whenever you're ready for me to take another look, or if you have any questions or concerns, Rjjiii (talk) 21:13, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The RAIB report (paragraph 61) states The driver was using his mobile telephone while driving the train. Other paragraphs in the same report (e.g. paras 39, 62, 114) confirm that this mobile phone use was shortly before the collision. I don't see this as a BLP concern. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:15, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    My understanding of WP:DYKBLP was that it was intended to prevent undue hooks on BLP articles like "... that John Doe committed xyz crimes?" The guideline mentions an "individual's wider life". In this hook, we're not naming the driver, and we're just explaining what led to the accident. Quite a lot of disasters (such as train crashes and airplane crashes) have human error as contributing factors, I don't think mentioning these in the hook violates the guideline. It'd be good to get other people's thoughts on this though. FozzieHey (talk) 18:57, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • According to the document issued by the federal agency itself [...] At the time of the inspection, it was confirmed that the establishment offers restaurant services through a reservation system, without informing consumers—by any means or in any form—of the applicable policies and procedures, particularly regarding table assignments.

Overall: Earwig turns up 57% copyvio from this; could you just go back and check to make sure there isn't any/the possibility this is some kind of error? Here is the Earwig link. I think the imdb may be copying from Wikipedia, but just want clarity. As for the hooks, I think ALT1 is uninteresting, ALT2 is not really considering that many movies/shows build sets that are only used once, ALT4 would need attribution to the reviewer. I do like ALT0 and my favourite is ALT3. It would catch my attention on the front page (though I do get that, again, I suppose filming in mundane locations like Vancouver is pretty common). All cited. @Rhain: just provide clarity on the copyvio problem & which hook you prefer jolielover♥talk 19:18, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Jolielover! IMDb is definitely copying from Wikipedia there; for instance, I wrote that sentence about additional photography back in September, whereas IMDb trivia is only written after an episode airs. (Looks like they've borrowed our information about other episodes as well, which I hadn't noticed before.) ALT0 and ALT3 are probably my favourites too. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 21:00, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I think the ALT hook would address any issue with the original hook, but if there is an objection that can be discussed. Rlendog (talk) 13:28, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Road Atlanta Turn 5: The article has been expanded more than 5 times in the last week, has no obvious errors, is fully cited, and the hook is cited. However, 'almost' is doing a lot of heavy lifting and seems almost like clickbait IMO. The article insinuates that she could have reached Formula One if the team was accepted, which it did not due to an unexplained reason. The current hooks seems like she was almost about to compete in Formula One, while according to the article, she did not even qualify to do so. Can my points be addressed in the hook and article? is it safe to assume this is your first time in DYK? I don't want to scare you off, and I am willing to stay around and help out to improve the article. Please ping me whenever you are ready. Cheers! GGOTCC 00:34, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • @GGOTCC: Apologies for the mistakes, it's my first time in DYK but I have thought about a new hook that could maybe be better. If there is anything else I should fix don't hesitate to tell me. Thanks! "...that Misato Haga went from being a race queen to the founder of a team that attempted to join Formula One?
      • @Road Atlanta Turn 5: No need to apologize, that's why I am here :) ! You are clearly the expert on this topic; to my eyes as someone without a background in racing, I was most interested in her carrer path from a race queen to a team founder/manager. Do you think this could work as more intersting hook, such as:
    • ALT2: ... that Misato Haga began her carrer as a race queen before she lead her own motor racing team?

    GGOTCC 20:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      • @GGOTCC: I think this one can do, i'd just fix the typo "carrer" to "career" and to me this suggestion looks fine. I thank you so much for the suggestion and help!
    • ALT3: ... that Misato Haga began her career as a race queen before she lead her own motor racing team?

    Hook eligibility:

    • Cited: No - Is it actually confirmed that the Antiguan man was the one who stole the boat? According to the two articles cited, it seems the boat owner is merely speculating about that. Also, are we sure that the two sources are reliable? I have no view on reliability—I just haven't heard of either Ocean Navigator or Maritime Executive before, and they both seem like more niche publications outside of the mainstream media. We could potentially use CBC News instead: [8][9].
    • Interesting: Yes
    Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
    QPQ: None required.

    Overall: I'm thinking we can rescue this hook by being more clear both in the hook and the article that the connection between the missing man and the boat is speculative, and perhaps using the CBC News articles instead of the maritime sources (although I am okay with leaving the maritime sources if we insist). I would also err on the side of caution per WP:BLPCRIME and avoid naming the missing man directly and describe him as an "Antiguan man" instead of a "criminal".

    • Comment: Article is new enough (+85,978, no drafts???). Article is long enough. Earwig shows minimal similarity. Due to the amount of offline sources, I'm going to have to assume good faith that most claims are accurate to the source, though I see no claims needing a citation that doesn't have one. Article is presentable. Spotchecked four/five photographs, including hook one, licenses all check out. Hook's short enough. QPQ is done. No other issues.
    • For the hook, specifically Still need some clarification. The provided source does not quote "Elvis" nor "pelvis" nor "1994", so I'm not sure we can confidently say that Elvis suffered like from rickets like the rest of his people. Bremps... 17:07, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
