• Comment: This is my first DYK nom so please inform me if I did anything wrong. Though I significantly expanded the article I didn't move it to mainspace, I attributed Remsense as the author as they created/moved the page.

Moved to mainspace by Remsense (talk) and Zinderboff (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 5 past nominations.

• Regarding the timing: I think this article is new enough as it was moved into the main space on 27 July and sent to DYK on 30 July. Thanks Zinderboff for notifying us about the situation. Article is long enough. It takes an international array of sources and uses a neutral tone. It is presentable. The hook is cited–considering the relevance of the reporting media, it seems that ALT1 (South China Morning Post) and ALT2 (The Guardian) are better sources than Business Insider for reporting this incident. Hooks are admissable. QPQ not needed. and please accept my appreciations for writing on this matter. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 18:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
• @The Lonely Pather Sorry for not responding earlier. After the DYK get's reviewed, do I get informed when it reaches the front page, or are there any specific requirements? Zinderboff(talk) 18:35, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Great question, @Zinderboff. Basically, some mods will curate sets of DYKs for several days in the future. On the day when your DYK reaches the front page, a bot will notify you. If you're impatient as I am, you can browse T:DYK/Q, where you will get spoilers of the DYKs in the next few days. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 02:03, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Hu Youping - bus attendant or driver?

The lead currently describes Hu Youping as a "bus attendant", but the Attack section describes her as a "school bus driver". On the surface, this seems like an inconsistency that should be cleared up. I've checked several of the cited sources but am having trouble ascertaining in which capacity she was serving during the attack: was she an attendant on the bus, or the driver of the bus, or...?
