Lone Mountain Cemetery

(

)

~~... that Phineas Gage was buried in Lone Mountain Cemetery, dug up, buried there again (this time without his head), dug up again, and finally buried somewhere else (still without his head)?~~
- ALT1: ... that Phineas Gage was buried in Lone Mountain Cemetery twice, once without his head, before being relocated still without his head?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Elk Run (West Branch Fishing Creek)
- Comment: Article still needs work, but gotta nominate now in obeisance to DYK's stupid "newness" fetish. We'll let y'all know when the time comes for a review -- give us a week or two please.

Created by PigeonChickenFish (talk). Nominated by EEng (talk) at 18:33, 21 October 2022 (UTC).

General eligibility:
New enough:
Long enough:
Other problems:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The original hook seemed somewhat unprofessional so I created ALT1. I agree the article as a whole needs work, but the promoter can use his/her discretion in deciding when this is ready for promotion, although even right now nothing is fatal for the main page. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 00:32, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Jesus Tapdancing Chist, couldn't you just respect the request of the two people most involved with the article that you wait until we're ready? "Nothing fatal for the main page" is a pretty low bar. And ALT1 isn't nearly as amusing. E Eng 00:48, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I told the promoter to wait for promotion, and I've got QPQ bills to pay. (And FWIW, ALT1 is just the original hook made more professional for the Main Page). – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 14:30, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Don't tell me about professionalism. I'm DYK's greatest hooker so you might say I belong to the world's oldest profession. E Eng 01:40, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

@EEng: i definitely laughed at ALT0, but I'd have to ask you to bring it to WT:DYK if you want to get an IAR exception for breaking style guidelines :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 09:42, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

How does it break style guidelines? E Eng 09:49, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

WP:DYKSG#C9: No parentheses in the hook unless absolutely unavoidable. The (pictured) (or equivalent) for the image slot is an exception. I'd argue that the use of emphasis on again is also on shaky ground in regards to MOS:EMPHASIS, which states that Emphasis may be used to draw attention to an important word or phrase within a sentence, when the point or thrust of the sentence may otherwise not be apparent to readers (emphasis mine :D).^[FBDB] theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:15, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

@EEng, John M Wolfson, and Theleekycauldron: Any updates on this? There have been no comments since the end of October. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:12, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
I've really gotten behind. First I have to get on Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Church_of_St_Giles,_Stoke_Poges. Then this. Please be patient. E Eng 03:17, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
This remains the only DYK I've accepted where my acceptance was rejected. That said, I still see no issues with the article that hinders promotion, so it's up to EEng. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 04:24, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
No one's rejecting anything. I just said the article wasn't ready yet. I'm done with Stoke Poges so this is next on my list. E Eng 04:49, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
EEng, it's been over two weeks and while you've been doing a ton of edits, none have been on this article. You originally asked for a week or two at nomination time, and it's two months later. Since you seem to need a deadline, how does 23:59, 28 December 2021 (UTC) sound? Absent significant progress by then, the approval will be restored. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:58, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate the pressure, but I need to beg a couple more days. E Eng 06:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

You got 'em. Thanks for posting. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:49, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

@EEng: I have looked over the article and think it is suitable for posting, what do you think? Kingsif (talk) 00:39, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Could we use this image? More suitable for a Halloween special though. BorgQueen (talk) 18:40, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

You know what? Let's "freeze" this nom until the Halloween. Yay! 🎃 BorgQueen (talk) 15:17, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Restoring John M Wolfson's original tick. It has been three months since EEng reversed it, and three months that he's not made any edits to the article. That's a more than generous extension, and this is the oldest extant DYK. It will probably be about a week before this hits the main page, so there is still time to expand the article prior to its appearance. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:36, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
