  • This seems like an interesting article, I'd be happy to take on the DYK review. It's quite a long article so it will take me a bit longer than usual, but I hope to be able to get back with a full review tomorrow. Best, Yakikaki (talk) 20:43, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
  So, here is the review: the article is substantially more than a 5x expansion, done recently enough. QPQ has been done and the image is properly licensed. The article is within policy. The hooks are fine, supported by inline citations, though the original hook might possibly be a bit misleading since the source merely says that Biliotti negotiated the safe conduct of the besieged, not the surrender, but I guess that is implied. But in any case I would prefer ALT2, which is both the most "hooky" and also a good summary of important parts of Biliotti's career. In any case the article is good to go for DYK. It is a high quality, fascinating read, I'm happy to be able to promote content like this to a main page appearance. If you haven't thought of it already, I would highly recommend you nominate it for GA status. Yakikaki (talk) 18:43, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your review and your kind words. On the first hook, it says that Biliotti negotiated the end of the siege -- that is correct, as you can hardly besiege a town with nobody in it. UndercoverClassicist T·C 20:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Probably not.

  •   Article is new and long enough, QPQ is met, the hook citation seems to check out based on machine translation, and the hook itself is strong without any issues, and as a hook for a fictional work possesses basis in the real world creative process. In lack of the ability to check the sources in detail, everything seems to check out and there's no obvious issues. The article is presentable; info on reception is lacking on reception but that's common for manga articles. I'll quibble that the audio drama voices and movie comic information would ideally find a more concrete source than a tweet, but they're basic enough facts that I don't think that's a major issue.

  • All right. The article is both new enough (having been created just a few days ago) and long enough; more than 5.000 characters.
  • The sources all are reliable and from mostly high-quality periodicals.
  • A video is used within the hook, but it is in the public domain, having been created by the White House of America.
  • Both hooks are properly cited, with sources that correspond to their location in the article.

  Now to my "issues".

  • From what I see, QPQ still needs to be done.
  • For the hooks themselves, both of them could work. Admittedly, both are somewhat on the humorous side, but I guess that's the point. To hook the reader onto the article. The main hook especially is quite funny (subjective view) and takes advantage of the "Did you know that [XX]" portion of the DYK nominations. However, the second hook also brings up the word "coconut", which has become a meme of its own. Regarding this I'm curious, @Spaghettifier:, I don't suppose you have another hook in mind that uses the word "coconut tree" in it? Maybe "that Kamala Harris' mother asked her if she "just fell out of a coconut tree"?" or akin to that? PanagiotisZois (talk) 21:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @PanagiotisZois: thank you for the review! The QPQ is complete here. With regard to the hook, I'd prefer to make ALT0 work if possible — it's lighthearted but pretty widely recognizable at this point, and an iconic part of the article. If we need to go with something more straightforward/coconut-centric, another idea might be using this LA Times quote from the reception section:
ALT2: ... that Kamala Harris is "fully coconut"?
Cheers — Spaghettifier (talk) 21:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Alternatively, ALT3: ... whether you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Spaghettifier (talk) 03:51, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Spaghettifier: I'm crying. XD ALT #3 is great. Honestly, I do think both this one and the main hook are about equally good, so I'll leave the final decision up to you. With the GPQ done, this is all that remains.PanagiotisZois (talk) 06:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Although one suggestion I do have is that for ALT3, it might be best to just omit the word "whether" altogether. PanagiotisZois (talk) 09:37, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Maybe save this for an April Fool's hook? Bremps... 16:33, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree. Waiting until next year is overkill. I will go with ALT3. It's catchy, and also includes much of the article's pagename within it. My only question is @Spaghettifier: if you wish to have it remain as is or remove "whether" from it; so that it will read as "Did you know... you just fell out of a coconut tree?".PanagiotisZois (talk) 19:15, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I like the 'whether' because it a) messes with the form a little bit and b) doesn't automatically accuse the reader of having fallen out a coconut tree. Spaghettifier (talk) 19:21, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

As for the location within the building, source goes on to say that "The headquarters of DMA Design were located on the upper floor of the building whilst there were several different tenants on the lower floor of the building." Additionally, you can see images of the former shop (The Deep Sea) in the embedded images from the Dundee City Archive. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 08:56, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   Prose and references were checked and no issues arose. The photograph is a bit dark and it is kind of difficult to see Peggy because her Dogpool costume blends in with the red carpet. I am unsure if it's just me though, so I'll leave it to the discretion of the promoter. Yue🌙 18:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   I googled how common fires caused by lightning strikes are and according to this source, they are responsible for 10% of global forest fires which makes it a bit less interesting. Sahaib (talk) 14:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • ... that Johann Joseph Dömling suggested in 1803 that venous blood contained carbon monoxide? Source: Hopper et al. 2021: "Endogenous presence of CO in human blood first appeared in an article by Johann Doemling who suggested it to be a constituent of venous blood (1803) ", also [6] here
    • ALT1: ... that after Johann Joseph Dömling was given a free education paid for by the prince-bishop of Würzburg, he worked in Würzburg as professor of physiology and pauper's doctor? Source: Gerabek 2007: "Ein Armenstipendium des Fürstbischofs ermöglichte D. den Besuch der Höheren Schule in Würzburg, wo er auch sein Medizinstudium absolvierte, das er 1797 mit der Dissertation abschloß. ... In Würzburg wurde D. 1799 zum Prof. für Physiol. und zum Stadtarmenarzt ernannt." See p. 318 (TWL)

  •   The article is long enough and promoted to GA level less than days before the DYK nomination was done. The hook is also long and interesting enough. The article sourcing is fascinating though it is already a GA. QPQ criteria is met. However, the hook is not explicitly mentioned in text. --Mhhossein talk 13:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Mhhossein: Thank you for the review! I added a "venous"; is that enough? —Kusma (talk) 15:05, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome. Can you show if the cited source uses "venous"? --Mhhossein talk 12:30, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Mhhossein: Essentially "venous blood" is a (shorter) synonym for "blood returning to the heart". I have added a citation to the other source [7] (TWL link), which explicitly says "venous blood". —Kusma (talk) 13:38, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
  Good to go with the original hook. --Mhhossein talk 15:25, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

QPQ: None required.

Overall:   Article was nominated within 7 days of creation. Unfortunately, it currently sits at 1,354 characters in prose and seems to be a stub, with all information crammed into the lead, so therefore it is too short to qualify for DYK. Earwig picked up an unlikely copyright violation of 1%. Nominator has less than 5 nominations so a QPQ is not required at this time. Should this pass, for a different variation of ALT1, I suggest, ALT2: "... that Three Girls Revitalizing Asia is credited with assigning a girl group member a representative role seen in modern Japanese idol culture?" lullabying (talk) 05:47, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Lullabying: I just checked the article with DYKcheck and it comes in at 1630 characters.--Launchballer 19:10, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! I will change this to maybe.   The article still seems like a stub. Is it possible it can be formatted so it can properly have a lead and a body? lullabying (talk) 20:31, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

It 100% can, I just don't have the time to do that at the moment, so please bare with me. Microplastic Consumer (talk) 22:10, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@lullabying It's done! Microplastic Consumer (talk) 03:33, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    • Looks good! Just to make it more consistent with a lot of idol group articles, I think it would be nice if "Koa sannin musume" was renamed "Career" and the members list was moved below it. Also, Saiko Okuyama's name needs to be in Western order per MOS:JAPAN as she was born after the Meiji Restoration. lullabying (talk) 01:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've taken your suggestions and it should look better, after deciding what blurb to use it should be ready. Microplastic Consumer (talk) 02:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
