TIC 168789840

- Greetings. I will get started with this review. In the meantime -- I have added a [citation needed] tag onto one statement, and I suspect the same is required for all the data on the infobox as well, unless the database SIMBAD is the source for the infobox. Let me know. Cheers. Ktin (talk) 05:04, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Overall: 
Meets eligibility requirement (newness). Length is ~1600 characters, just above the recommended 1500 characters. If the editor can expand the article further, I definitely encourage that, but, if that is not possible, we should go for this. Have requested two sourcing edits, and those should be simple to complete. Scores high on Earwig's Copyvio detector -- but, this is attributable to a direct quote that has been rightly sourced. Hook's source has not been included as a part of the QPQ nomination (pardon me, if I missed it), but, I am assuming it is sourced to this NASA link. The quoted text says three binaries -- I am assuming that means 3 * 2 = 6 stars. Image in the hook is used in the article and is a public domain link from NASA. QPQ check says that it is the editor's first DYK nomination and hence QPQ might not be necessary -- if this is not true, please let me know. Can I request the editor to rework the hook so it might be interesting for the layperson reader? Need some amount of contextualization as well. Can you please take a pass? Happy to help if anything else is required from me. Cheers. Ktin (talk) 05:22, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
- How about:
- ALT2 ... that TIC 168789840 is the first six-star stellar system to be discovered where the stars can be observed eclipsing one another from the Earth?
- If there's a desire to include the mention of TESS in the hook, it can come after the bolded link. The wording could probably be revised further but it seems clearer to wording suitable for general audiences than the original. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:11, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- Greetings Narutolovehinata5. Pardon my delay. The hook definitely is good. I am ok with or without the TESS. However, if we do not use TESS, we will have to drop the image. Thoughts? Ktin (talk) 07:02, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Let's hear from Geo Swan if they'll prefer that TESS be mentioned in the hook or if they're okay with the mention being omitted. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:15, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- This is my first dyk. I'll defer to the judgement of more experienced contributors. Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 00:46, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. @Ktin: Will you be able to finish the review now? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:13, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks. I have removed the picture. We can go with ALT2. I have updated the notes. Last note -- the article has an infobox with lots of data. Is that sourced to the SIMBAD database? Can I assume WP:AGF on that one and mark the article as sourced? Please let me know. Thanks a ton. Ktin (talk) 05:48, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

@Ktin, JPxG, and Narutolovehinata5: Just so you know: Geo Swan has been indef blocked (it had nothing to do with his article work) so he won't be able to answer any questions or make any improvements to the article. Considering the amount of work that has gone into this DYK, I'd hate to see it fail because of this. So I hope you will be able to finish your review based on the information you already have. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:30, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Noted. I'll try to contact astronomy editors and see if anyone is willing to adopt this. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:48, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5, I think we are almost there. I have marked this hook as approved. No reason to hold-off. The one thing I was hoping to get some guidance was on the infobox on the RHS. But, I think we are good to go forward. Cheers. Ktin (talk) 03:25, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
