The three hooks are all sourced but I prefer ALT0, mainly since ALT2 relies on an unreliable source for the hook information (Know Your Meme), and ALT0 seems to be most interesting between it and ALT1. No QPQ needed as the creator/nominator has less than 5 DYK nominations in the past. The picture I also approve since it's in the public domain, clear, and used in the article.

  • ... that Lionel Haward applied an early example of offender profiling to help identify high-ranking Nazi war criminals who had disguised themselves as ordinary troops?
  • Source: "Less well known but perhaps more directly related to the practices that the FBI were later to develop were the efforts of a British forensic psychologist who attempted to establish a means of identifying war criminals in the chaos that followed the liberation of camps like Bergen-Belsen. Tasked with identifying Schutzstaffel (SS) camp officials and guards who had tortured prisoners, and unconvinced that witness testimony alone would suffice to identify perpetrators who had assumed the disguise of ordinary soldiers or airmen, Lionel Haward drew up a list of characteristics that high-ranking Nazi war criminals might display."

  • This is my first review, if I did anything wrong please feel free to point it out.
Article was promoted to Good Article status on July 21, 2024 and nominated on July 27, 2024. So it is new enough. It has 16308 characters (2508 words) "readable prose size". Both hooks are cited.
I would prefer ALT1 over the default hook because it's more interesting. Non-professional readers may have difficulty understanding "the earliest ornithischian dinosaurs", but "dinosaurs living at the equator" is very vivid. Anyone can imagine it in their mind. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race (talk・contribs) 00:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I would agree with the second hook being better having had time to sit on it. It's also more of a clear cut fact that won't change with time or what one includes within Ornithischia. LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 06:43, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Should the word "early" be added before "dinosaur" in the sentence "demonstrates dinosaur presence in equatorial latitudes" ("Palaeoecology" section) ? As far as I know, there are some dinosaur fossils in Egypt during the late Cretaceous, when Egypt was located at the equator.——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race (talk・contribs) 08:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • Nominated a few hours after the 7 day deadline, should be fine.
  • The article is definitely long enough, the sources appear to be very high quality, and no copyvio detected.
  • I do have concerns about the hook's source. First, I didn't see where it supported the claim. But more importantly, the source is 12 years old and can't be expected to give an accurate picture of the situation today. You're either going to need a new source or a different hook.

  • 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

  •   The article is both long and new enough. Both the topic and the hook are interesting enough for the main page. Before going ahead, there are come in-line citation tags which need to be resolved. Also, the hook is backed by two sources, one being tagged as seld published and the other in Fr. Can you come back with a reliable source in English (though it is not mandatory)? --Mhhossein talk 07:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Global Donald . Thanks for the change, the sources are improved now, though there's still one section with no references. By the way, can this small scale incident be called a "disaster"? --Mhhossein talk 09:54, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Probably not. Any idea of word that would be a better fit? / For the Odonomy section with a "citation needed" template, I couldn't find an article about this particular street name, but there is a photo (in the article) of the sign indicating the street and specifying that it is named after Mr. Sivel. I don't really get why a citation would be needed when the photo is in the article. There is a photo on Google Maps with exactly the same street sign to back it up: https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.8332968,2.327044,3a,15y,332.15h,91.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZvSDhHRDyfoBLYXe9DDt2g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu --Global Donald (talk) 10:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
You can name it an "incident" or whatever the reliable sources use. Please change the hook and the article text based on reliable sources. Remember not to alter the current hook, rather you need to isnert a new one called ALT1. As for your question, try to find sources talking about the two streets in Paris and consult RS for what constitutes a reliable source. Also visit WP:DYKCITE. --Mhhossein talk 04:53, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  •   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. Passing this, happy to see some shoujo at DYK. LittleLazyLass (Talk | Contributions) 07:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • 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 will say I think this is gonna get more pageviews if it goes up before the election. I'm still gonna vote ALT0 or ALT3, up to whoever promotes. Spaghettifier (talk) 18:18, 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

All right then. ALT3 is approved as is  .--PanagiotisZois (talk) 19:47, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
