The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: this article is being nominated to provide a hook for the hook in this nomination to interrupt, so the hook proposed above may not be the hook ultimately used. however, if the mashup ends up not happening, it would be nice to have a straight hook to fall back on.i believe the metro station is scheduled to open on 2023.02.22 (according to the schedule reproduced here), and prep areas scheduled after that date have already been filled, so "newly opened" should be accurate if this hook ends up appearing on the main page.i am including two pictures in my nomination because i can't decide which one to use. if the picture that focuses on one escalator is chosen, presumably the parenthetical should be changed to read "(example pictured)".
Overall: The source says Это будет самый длинный эскалатор столичной подземки. (It will be the longest escalator in the capital's [Moscow's] subway.) Its future tense unnerved me but I see it is supported by another source in the article: Не обошлось и без рекордов на «Марьиной Роще». Здесь уже установили самые длинные в столичной подземке эскалаторы — пассажиры преодолеют чуть более 130 метров, прежде чем окажутся на платформе. I don't know why you didn't provide this source in the nom. But anyway, the hook is verified. BorgQueen (talk) 13:46, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
good point, BorgQueen. in retrospect, i should have provided both sources in the nomination. i have added the vm.ru source above in response to your comment. thanks for bringing this up! dying (talk) 16:13, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
