Instructions for nominators

edit

This page is for those nominations that have already been approved and are waiting to be promoted. If yours has been approved but has not yet been run on the main page, it should either be on this page or will soon be moved here, or already promoted to a Prep area or Queue ahead of an appearance on the main page.

If you wish to create a new nomination, please go to the Template talk:Did you know page; there are instructions there in a section similar to this one on how to nominate an article for DYK.

Frequently asked questions

edit

Backlogged?

edit

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until someone promotes it to a preparation area. To alleviate this problem, if the approved page has more than 120 approved hooks, then sets will change twice per day (every 12 hours) instead of once per day (every 24 hours). When the backlog falls below 60 approved nominations set frequency returns to once a day.

Where is my hook?

edit

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.

If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the DYK discussion page, but as a general rule such nominations will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

Instructions for other editors

edit

How to promote an accepted hook

edit
  • See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
  • In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
  • In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
  • In the prep set...
    • Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
    • Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
  • Back on DYK nomination page...
    • change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • change |passed= to |passed=yes
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save

How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue

edit
  • Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
  • Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there should have been a link to it in the credits section).
    • View the edit history for that page
    • Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
    • Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
  • Add a transclusion of the template back to the nominations page so that reviewers can see it. It goes under the date that it was first created/expanded/listed as a GA. You may need to add back the day header for that date if it had been removed from the nominations page.
  • If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.

Shortcut
Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section on the regular nominations page, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began, or it was listed as a Good Article; be sure to indicate in the nomination any request for a specially timed appearance on the main page.
Note: Articles intended to be held for special occasion dates should be nominated within seven days of creation, start of expansion, or promotion to Good Article status. The nomination should be made between at least one week prior to the occasion date, to allow time for reviews and promotions through the prep and queue sets, but not more than six weeks in advance. The proposed occasion must be deemed sufficiently special by reviewers. The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. Discussion clarifying the hold criteria can be found here: [1]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [2].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
Note for promoters: please be sure to add an "invisible" comment after a hook when you've placed it in prep, noting that it's a special occasion hook and including the date it is supposed to run. This should keep the hook from being moved after promotion, as sometimes happens to hooks when a queue needs a slot filled or a prep set needs to be made more balanced by swapping hooks between preps.

This hook is super interesting and the article is great. I think maybe the hook needs rewording though as it's not clear that this "peace" came more than four decades later. How about "four decades after missing an event at the 1960 Summer Olympics, Suriname's sole athlete was found to have not "overslept"? I'm also waiting on the plagiarism checker to worki again.

  TheNuggeteer, I've struck ALT1 as there are various problems with it. Both the source and the article say that the "Philippines were said to have sent athletes", hence we cannot say in Wikivoice that the "Philippines sent athletes". Secondly, you don't send athletes "at" the Olympics; you send them "to" the Olympics. Thirdly, when referring to people, you must use "who" and not "that". Fourthly, we do not use contractions in hooks apart from direct quotes. ALT1a fixes all those issues. Schwede66 01:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

She had simply identified a series of competitions, culminating in the IFSC round, that she could use to push herself as an athlete."
  • ALT1: ... that 2024 Paris Olympian Aniya Holder began speed climbing as a safer alternative to bouldering and lead climbing after she broke her knuckles and dislocated her shoulder elbow? Source: https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/sport/other-sport/2024-04-04-mark-etheridge-walls-hold-no-fears-for-young-olympian/
    "She got into speed climbing in 2021. 'I punched a volume [an extension attached to the climbing wall] and broke all my knuckles,' she says. 'A week after the cast came off I fell from a high boulder and stuck my hand out to avoid hitting my head and ended up dislocating my elbow.' That put her out for five months during which she regained her strength and did rehabilitation work. It was also the end of one part of her climbing career. 'I can’t do the boulder and lead discipline any more, it just hurts too much.' Coach Muller suggested she should try speed climbing."

@Z1720:, thanks for the ping. Honestly, I kinda forgot about this nomination... @Shooterwalker: thanks for the feedback. I've reviewed the MOS and think that the article and hook meet the guidlines and would be happy to fix any mistakes. About the context, I agree, so maybe we could change it to something like "...that China launched a military exercise in response to the inauguration of Lai Ching-te as president of Taiwan?

Let's go with the hook as you rewrote it:

    ALT3 ... that although the Indian Constitution has required 33% of MPs to be women since 2023, the Lok Sabha formed in 2024 has only 14%?
    @Premeditated Chaos: Well, ALT3 will be factually incorrect as the Reservation Bill is not really implemented yet. It was passed in 2023 and the date of implementation is yet to be decided as there will be delimitation of constituencies after the next Census is completed. Both these major steps (census & then delimitation) are still pending. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    So wait, basically the hook is that the percentage of female MPs is less than what's mandated by a law that isn't even in force yet? I'm not sure I find that particularly surprising or intriguing. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:28, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Yes.... its way less that what would be required by maybe next elections. I understand the hook is becoming un-interesting as we are being factually correct.

    • Comment not review As this is an article featuring election candidates, it should not appear on the main page until after 4 July, see WP:DYKELECT. TSventon (talk) 21:19, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
    •   New enough and long enough. QPQ present. This is a unique contribution to DYK as it is three paragraphs and a list; even though one paragraph does not end in an inline citation, I am treating it as a lead-section paragraph. All the list bullet points contain at least one inline citation. The hook fact checks out and is included. Image is OGL-licensed and acceptable for the Main Page. Good to go after 4 July per above. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:49, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

    Despite what the sources say, I find it hard to believe that in the hundreds of years there have been prime ministers in the UK, not a single one of them before Boris Johnson has ever broken some law. In fact, it only took me a couple of minutes to find in Robert Walpole: In 1712, Walpole was accused of venality and corruption in the matter of two forage contracts for Scotland. Although it was proven that he had retained none of the money, Walpole was pronounced "guilty of a high breach of trust and notorious corruption".[16] He was impeached by the House of Commons and found guilty by the House of Lords; he was then imprisoned in the Tower of London for six months and expelled from Parliament.

    @RoySmith: I believe the distinction is that Johnson is the first serving Prime Minister to be found to have broken the law – the Walpole incident that you're describing occurred nine years before he became Prime Minister. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 22:40, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
      @A Thousand Doors and Sammi Brie: I have unpromoted this, becaue I now feel the hook violates WP:DYKHOOKBLP. I recognise that this is a currently-fraught subject, and other promoters might see differently, but I don't intend on promoting this hook. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:42, 17 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Same. I am not taking a chance. SL93 (talk) 02:46, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    I'm ambivalent. I think that any hook is DUE as long as it is not unduly negative compared to the article. But I'm not sure if there are BLP problems with this article existing in the first place. If there aren't, I'd be okay with promoting it. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 22:14, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    If the community feels that the current hook is too contentious, then here are some alts that I hope might be preferred instead:

    I still feel that the original is the most interesting and "hook"-y, but I'm happy to go with consensus on this. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 10:33, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    @TheNuggeteer: Thank you for the review. Per WP:DYKNEW, I’ve mentioned in the comment that the subject is listed only in RD section of the ITN, not bold link.
    Although this type of killing may be common elsewhere, it is a rare case in the highly religious country that a prominent religious figure was shot dead by the ruling junta’s soldiers. Plus, it is very few that the junta apologized publicly; he would never show his weakness in public.
    I’d like to nominate another ALTs:

    • Comment: Since opening this nomination, I have moved the page from Rozelle–Darling Harbour railway line to Rozelle–Darling Harbour Goods Line. The former title reflected general – but not mandatory – convention on articles for Australian railway lines, while the latter reflects the line's common name. As such, this nomination links to what is now a redirect, while the hook itself links to what is now the article's primary title.

Many should know Sydney is NSW's largest city. Everyone should know China/India is the largest country by population, etc. I am not sure if I can help but since its a former goods line, a hook like that may work.

    Overall:   Francis Procter is not new/expanded enough to be considered for a DYK, so review is for A History of the Book of Common Prayer only. Suggesting ALT0A:
    ...that Francis Procter was "startled and a little shocked" when he was shown Walter Frere's revision of his book?"

      The article notes: "Ms Chang does not delve into the Pacific ties that might have made such a man. She does say that, during the gold rush, many Californians shipped their laundry to be cleaned in Hong Kong, at $1 a shirt. If this is true--and it is a staggering proposition, given that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company made just a dozen sailings a year, taking 33 days--then the subject deserves a chapter, not just the briefest of mentions."

    Rjjiii (talk · contribs), I think the hook is fine. Although the source questions the accuracy of the statement, the source verifies that the book makes this statement. Here are sources that verify that people in California during the gold rush era sent their laundry to Hong Kong:

    1. Goethe, Charles Matthias (1949). What's in a Name?: (Tales, Historical Or Fictitious, about 111 California Gold Belt Place Names). p. 44. OCLC 606542. Retrieved 2024-07-03 – via Google Books.

      This is not a reliable source as the author is a eugenicist. But I am including it here as it's the earliest source I can find that mentions that California gold miners shipped their laundry to Hong Kong. The book notes: "Apparently eggs from Hong Kong, Canton then were being shipped here with California miners' returned laundry."

      The book notes: "When the Gold Rush started, some of the San Franciscans sent their laundry to Honolulu and even to Hong Kong by sailing vessel because there was no one around to do it. By sailing vessel, it required about forty days for a round trip to Honolulu and about sixty days to Hong Kong."

      The book notes: "Rich gold miners who didn't have a laundry nearby sent their shirts out to be washed, starched, and ironed-in Hong Kong, China! It cost as much as a dollar a shirt and took two to four months for the shirts to make the round-trip."

      The book notes: "In the early days of the Gold Rush, Euroamerican men shipped their soiled laundry to Hong Kong or Honolulu for cleaning, and received it again after two or three months."

      The book notes: "As the San Francisco economy boomed with hopeful gold seekers, the city experienced continual labor shortages throughout the 1850s and 1860s. It was cheaper for male miners who refused to wash their own clothes, for example, either to send their dirty laundry on a clipper ship to Hong Kong or Honolulu to be washed or to simply throw it away, than to pay the rates to have their clothes done locally."

      The book notes: "I am describing the mid-nineteenth-century genesis of Chinese laundry shops (yi-shan-guan in Chinese) during and after the California Gold Rush. Due to the perception of laundry as women's work and the scarcity of women in California during the Gold Rush era, the local cost for doing laundry was exorbitant. Miners, both white and Chinese, routinely shipped their laundry to Honolulu and even Hong Kong for cleaning and pressing. Even then, the price was high and the process took four months. As Iris Chang describes in The Chinese in America, Chinese entrepreneurs took advantage of this economic opportunity and created local laundry shops."

      The book notes: "The perception by most whites that washing was work demeaning to men, together with the absence of women on the Western frontier, made laundry a service in demand. Before the arrival of the Chinese, and with California labor in short supply and hence expensive, dirty laundry was routed to Hong Kong to be washed for $12 a dozen items, and then later to Hawaii for $8 a dozen. But Chinese entrepreneurs in San Francisco saw the potential profits in doing the washing themselves on the West Coast, and prices dropped to $5 a dozen as shipping and handling costs decreased. Soon, local laundries replaced the overseas ones."

      This source predates the 2003 book Chinese in America and discusses how laundry was shipped from San Francisco to Hawaii which cost $8 and took six to eight weeks.

      The book notes: "But it cost money for the San Franciscans to achieve such stylishness and respectability, for the laundry bills were terrific. In order to have their linen washed, starched and ironed to the right degree of whiteness and rigidity cost them eight dollars per dozen, sometimes even more. The men didn't mind paying from three to five dollars for an order of ham and eggs or a steak, but eight dollars just to scrub and iron some pieces of shirt was an excessive price. So there were grumblings aplenty. And not only that, there was also the annoyance of waiting from six to eight weeks for one's laundry to come back each time one sent it off, for mostly they were shipped to the Hawaiian Islands to be washed. And then the shirts might return with buttons missing or collars separated."

      The book notes: "3: Number of months it took prospectors to get their clean clothes back before Wah Lee opened San Francisco's first Chinese laundry in 1851. Prior to that, there were so few laundries that miners sent dirty clothes by ship to Hong Kong, where they were cleaned, pressed, and then shipped back."

      The book notes: "By the mid-1800s, some people, mostly white, had managed to get rich in the Gold Rush. ... They often thought of laundry as a "woman's job," and therefore, beneath them. Without many other options, it became pretty common for people to ship their laundry all the way to Hong Kong to be cleaned. This took nearly four months and cost about twelve dollars for a dozen shirts, which is equal to about four hundred dollars today. Still, this was way cheaper than the alternative, to send the clothes back to the East Coast of the United States to be cleaned. Remember, the Transcontinental Rail- road wasn't finished yet, so the laundry would have had to go by boat all the way around the continent or over land on a wagon. Hong Kong was the best option for people with the money to spend on laundry, and so the shipment of clothing back and forth across the Pacific Ocean became another link between the coasts of the United States and China, another lane on the highway connecting Chinese Americans between their two lands. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and closer to San Francisco than to Hong Kong, you will find the islands of Hawai'i. By the mid-1800s, Hawai'i had become a stopover for people and goods as they went back and forth between China and the West Coast of the continental United States. The rich people who had been shipping their laundry to Hong Kong now had a closer, more affordable option. Instead of spending twelve dollars to have a dozen shirts washed in Hong Kong, they could spend eight dollars to have a dozen shirts washed in Honolulu."

      The book notes: "As the gold fever cooled, there was a shift in Chinese business patterns, first from mining to laundries, and then to railway construction. The second was the result of quintessentially Chinese entrepreneurship. The Chinese noticed that people in California were prepared to pay for laundry services, which involved shipping to the East Coast, Honolulu and even Hong Kong, which were all both costly and took time. It was obviously beneficial for customers to pay $5 for a dozen shirts rather than $12, and to receive the shirts in a few days rather than up to four months."

      The book notes: "A similar story unfolded on the Pacific coast of the Americas. North American trade with Asia and Australia grew rapidly in the 1860s and 1870s, but failed to live up to that potential in subsequent years. In the first years of the gold rush, prices for goods and labour in California were so high that laundry was famously sent from San Francisco to Hong Kong to be washed. By the end of the 1850s, California had begun shipping wheat, quicksilver, hides, lumber, oats, beans, potatoes and wool across the Pacific to Asia and the Australian"

      The book notes: "Most of the men who arrived in California to hunt for gold came alone. Mining was dirty, dusty work, but washing grimy, mud-caked clothes was considered a "woman's job." Some of the more successful single men shipped dirty clothes to Hong Kong and waited months for their return. For the rest, since local Spanish and Native American women charged too high a price, Chinese men filled the void. Within a few years, the Chinese came to dominate the laundry business in San Francisco."

    Thanks for the reply. You're right. Rather than doing a review, I'd like to offer an alternative hook. Since multiple university press sources state it as a fact, could we run a hook that also presents it as a historical fact? Like this:

    • ALT1: ... that The Chinese in America documents how California gold rush prospectors mailed their laundry to Hong Kong for cleaning? "While Chang's book might first appear basic in its history lessons, even the most knowledgeable Asian-American scholar will likely find little-known facts and challenging theories within. Chang tells how gold-rush miners - both Chinese and Caucasian - sent their laundry to Hong Kong for lack of local services, hence opening up a business opportunity for entrepreneurial Chinese to take over the "women's work" that Caucasians would not do. (Hong (2003) CSM.)"

    Shostakovich in 1942
    • Source: "His explanation of the change [in instrumentation] was idiosyncratic, to say the least. According to him, his change of heart had not been dominated by artistic considerations at all, but purely practical concerns. "Do you want to know why I wrote a piano part into the quartet? I did it so that I could play it myself and have a reason to go on tour to different towns and places. So now ... the Beethoven Quartet, who get to go everywhere, will have to take me with them, and I will get my chance to see the world as well!" We both laughed. "You are not serious?", I said. Shostakovich replied: "Absolutely! You are a dyed-in-the-wool stay-at-home, but I am a dyed-in-the-wool wanderer!"

    •   @CurryTime7-24: Beautiful expansion! I listened to the quintet while I reviewed — such a lovely piece deserving of this amount of detail. The recent 5x is eligible, boasts more than adequate sourcing, and doesn't raise any significant copyvio issues. Some small style issues therein that I would recommend you or another editor walk through at some point. Hook-wise, I would say ALT0 is a little misleading as phrased since he initiated the piano quintet with the intention of traveling to perform the piece, not compose it. You could clarify it or go with ALT1, which is more straightforward. This should be good to go once a QPQ is provided. Spaghettifier (talk) 20:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

There haven't been any new sources added other than a paper by the two proponents of this theory and lots of other really weak sources.

I've been reading it again and I still think the hook should be promoted. But, as I say, I am not an SME in this area so I will happily step aside if an SME is needed.

    • I have to second the concerns brought up above: this article was merged in November for poor sourcing and the fact that it seemed to lean very heavily into the op-ed angle of the source it did use. To be clear, I certainly have a great personal distaste for the majority of people who run the majority of software companies, and ethical objections to a good portion of the United States' GDP (I am a diehard Linux user with all of the political implications that entails). However, the implication that "global tech elites" are engaged in a deliberate scheme to carry out eugenics (as one of the sources said from the previous version of this article), based on a collection of op-eds and blog posts where people who hate them say this a bunch of times, seems to raise some rather significant BLP issues. It is somewhat concerning to vaguely imply this in wikivoice as though it's settled fact, and then the citations are to a journal of biosemiotics. jp×g🗯️ 02:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • Posting on here same stuff as in the Talk Page section:
    A) This article was merged for lack of WP:N. If you consider it still an issue, use WP:AfD or bug the original admin who deleted, merged, than undeleted this. It isn't a valid argument to suggest that it's settled that it deserves to remerged if we've added a ton of sourcing and improved on it. Settle it by starting the process to delete it if you want.
    B) Are there reliable sources indicating that TESCREAL is a significantly derogatory epithet similar to Libtard/Chud? Marc Andreessen self-describes as TESCREAList. Many of these folks regularly ascribe to multiple of these philosophies as transhumanists, ethical altruists, long-termists, etc. Sourcing here does not necessarily imply that every TESCREAList is also a eugenicist, nor do we use WP:SYNTH to suggest that these folks are all eugenicists. There is no mention of eugenicist claims in the third section. Also, we have Big Tech as a wikipedia article along with criticism, which is also a similar "perjorative" against tech companies, and other significant "perjoratives" with negative connotations such as Democrat in Name Only and Cuckservative. These all explain what opinion writers and commentators mean, and why. This article is far more tame than many of those.
    C) That more than a dozen opinions use a term like this should be notable enough. I suspect that any sort of article about philosophies will require opinionated sources or commentaries. Effective altruism includes sourcing from Centre for Effective Altruism and by extension the Effective Altruism Forum, study centers specifically invested in effective altruism and founded by leaders, as well as many opinions.
    D) WP:OPINION applies here, especially for philosphical arguments. I looked for criticisms of TESCREAL. If more are published, we can include them. These sources are WP:SECONDARY, they contain analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. Secondary sources are not necessarily independent sources.
    E) If you want to settle WP:BLP, please post in the section on WP:BLPN. We've already started and done this argument. There are multiple sources on WP:PUBLICFIGUREs here alleging that many of these folks use TESCREAL to justify their tech projects, and we make sure to use the word "allege" correctly, as per WP:OPINION, along with the correct sourcing
    Conclusion:) TESCREAL is unliked by some portion of folks on here for some reason. I'm happy to listen to arguments, but I want an argument about why we are suddenly so sensitive about criticism of Elon Musk/etc. for using human extinction for every time someone criticizes his behavior or cars or products. If you are just an elon musk/nick bostrum/etc. fan, than say it and stop throwing mud on an article that contains a criticism of philosophies that occurs often enough that we can gather 20+ sources, including 10 using the term in severe detail to directly dissect the argument that yelling extinction every 15 minutes doesn't mean you've justified your next mega project.

    •   Article is newly created (converted from redirect) and long enough. QPQ has been done. The six sources in the article are reliable (ESPN) or from official press releases. But there are a couple of copyvio concerns, especially phrases like "selected by MLS commissioner Don Garber", "was created on May 13", "appeared in at least 50 percent" which can be further reworded. Personally I find the ALT1 hook more interesting, especially on its focus on the bolded article.--ZKang123 (talk) 02:33, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    London bus with wheelchair ramp
    I think I found a better hook.
    I think that is more interesting as since the TfL bus fleet has been accessible for a while. but since the LU is the oldest metro systems, its partially accessible with only a third. Also with taxis, I assume you're talking about the TfL ones since other services like Uber likely don't have the accessibility scheme in place and use a normal car. I also think something that is not mostly accessible is better and more interesting that those that are fully accessible. For example, a hook stating that the Elizabeth line is fully accessible (even including the old stations) wouldn't be interesting as new(er) systems are expected to be accessible/have step free systems. JuniperChill (talk) 09:36, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
     
    Sure, I'm happy to go with that hook with a minor tweak for "step-free"- yes, I mean "London black taxi", technically Uber is not a taxi (Vehicle for hire). I didn't want to be too negative about accessibility, but the Tube one is balanced. Could use the lead photo - unsure on caption though! Turini2 (talk) 10:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Sorry for the late reply as I was out and about. Anyway, I don't really need to see the point of the photo if we are talking about 1/3rd of LU stations accessible since I cannot think what demonstrates it, plus its very tight for images on DYK because only one image a day (or two images a day in the event of a backlog) for the ~8 hooks. Also @TheNuggeteer:, what do you think of the new hook as you initially reviewed it? JuniperChill (talk) 16:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    Specifically, I am a little concerned that statistics-heavy topics like this, when they're directly related to buzzwordy trending topics in the news cycle, tend to be very ill-suited to being patched out from headlines. That is to say, writing the shark attack and dog attack based solely on news coverage would give the impression that these were both uncommon things that do happen every once in a while, when in reality the yearly rates are eighty versus several million. This article quotes a bunch of figures from news stories back-to-back, and there doesn't really seem to be much attempt at comparison or context. For example, there is a paper cited that projects 85-143 TWh of global power consumption from neural networks by 2027, based on a conjectural optimistic scenario where NVIDIA/TSMC transition their entire manufacturing output to A100s (all of which are installed in data centers and used for nothing but LLM inference). By comparison, this paper estimated that video gaming consumed 34 TWh/year in the United States alone in 2019; this document from the DoE says that aluminum production in the US in 2000 consumed a total of 279.2 TWh/yr. The US consumes about 16% of the world's electricity, so a very rough approximation here would give a ballpark estimate of 212.5 TWh for gaming (the US does about 2% of aluminum production worldwide, giving us around 13960 TWh yearly for global aluminum production). It also seems like there is a lot of ambiguity between training (a fixed cost, as models are only trained once) and inference (the process that happens when running the model, which typically requires billions or trillions of times less computation). I am somewhat worried about having this on the front page. jp×g🗯️ 23:45, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    you are literally using us energy gov stats to WP:SYNTH a whataboutism argument… by the same logic, the criticism section of any industries environmental impact can be called misleading because theres always another more polluting industry you can point to. the comparison you suggest is “missing” is literally that training ChatGPT training took as much energy as 123 gasoline powered cars yearly footprints. and suggesting that including examples from news articles headlining the carbon footprint is a bad thing for wikipedia is inane. most articles on here use secondary souces such as news articles. and most DyK hooks are eyecatching Bluethricecreamman (talk) 00:34, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    For the specific task of literally writing an encyclopedia article about a topic, I would say that answering questions like "why is this statistic relevant" or "what does this number mean" is probably its most important purpose. I gave a couple examples to illustrate what this looks like, obviously there is no reason why aluminum manufacturing in particular is more relevant than anything else. The most appropriate source here would likely be something like a textbook or monograph about electrical consumption by various industries, and how this related to environmental concerns in general. Since this is a subject of rather large significance, it is important that our writing on it be accurate, and not news. I am opposed to running stuff on the main page where vague insinuations are made by factoids of unexplained significance -- e.g. what's a terawatt-hour? what's a gram of CO2? why are some figures given in one and some as the other, and still others given in folksy derivative units like average midsize sedan gasoline consumption rates over average suburban commutes? jp×g🗯️ 01:06, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Moreover, ALT0 is not supported by the source. Indeed, OpenAI's well-known sleazy refusal to be transparent about any of its operations or research means that the source cannot say that, because the source does not know. The figure claimed as fact in this hook is, in the source, carefully and explicitly presented as an approximate figure derived by estimation (it's from https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.10350 -- note the methods they are using). jp×g🗯️ 01:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    I'm not arguing these bad faith arguments after this. The source link is literally right there for anyone to read. There are three links I cite with the 552 metric tons figure in the article. Most of the "environmental impacts of" are similar collections of "factoids" discussing various industry leaders. And by your logic of WP:NOTNEWS, we should remove most news articles discussing long term trends in any industry. WP:NOTNEWS specifically states no original reporting on wikipedia (we don't report the news ourselves, we cite it), and calls for enduring notability of information (we don't do an article if its just one or two articles). if you find a reputable source arguing that this is a false number or a false comparison, feel free to edit the article. I respect your work as an admin, and your experience, but this is silly. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 01:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    • Comment: Technically, São Tomé and Príncipe is a singular country (a Portuguese colony at the time mentioned in the hook). The hook should therefore use singular conjugations of verbs, but it sounded too odd upon my initial reading. I thus changed the verbs to their plural conjugations, as if the islands themselves are being described rather than the modern country or the former colony. I have nonetheless included my original wording as ALT1, in case the reviewer or promoter wants to compare the two.

    •   Hi Yue, review follows: article created 3 July and exceeds minimum length; I reworded one sentence slightly to move it further from the source, but otherwise I don't think there is an issue with overly close paraphrasing; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited (BBC); a QPQ has been provided; image is properly licensed and looks fine. I changed from single to double quotation marks in the hooks to match the article and, I think, our MOS. In terms of plurals I think English_plurals#Geographical_plurals_used_as_singular discusses this; either alternative sounds OK to me but British English tends to be a bit more flexible than US English on this (see eg. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Plurals) - Dumelow (talk) 09:40, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    Policy compliance:

    • Adequate sourcing:   - This direct quote needs to have a footnote immediately following: "At first, it was all for fun, but suddenly it went super fast and I was busy with it full time." Per DYK guidelines, the hook fact needs to also have a footnote directly following it; I would put one where the fact appears in both the lead and body.
    • Neutral:  
    • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:  
    • Other problems:   - I'm a little concerned about the reliablity of TVovermind. Searching for it on the perennial sources noticeboard, there's some concern that it's a low-quality clickbait website. Is there a better source available for Dept's birthday? Her nlwiki article cites Famous Birthdays, which is blacklisted and therefore unhelpful. Otherwise, WP:DOB dictates we need to remove it or only include the year, should a source be available.

    • I've added a cn for an unsourced statement. There's a period missing at the end of the same sentence, maybe you got distracted just then?I'm also not a huge fan of any of the hooks, I feel like they could be tightened. For instance, what does have been rebuilt or expanded have to do with burning down? The hook seems to be relating the two. "Over its century plus of business...formerly offered" seems awkward...why does it matter that it was a century of business? Maybe something like 'that the nearly 125-year-old Anderson's Grocery used to offer' or something? I like the ALT0 idea a lot, but is it possible to update? We're basically saying that in 2000 it was blah blah blah. It's now 2024, is it still one of ten? Also "was one of only 10 small chain groceries 100 years or older?" feels awkward, it feels like it should be "was one of only 10 small chain groceries 100 years old or older?" or "at least a century in business" or something. Valereee (talk) 18:07, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    @Valereee: I have to work with what sources are out there, hence the hooks that have been provided. We have a RS that discusses the Centennial, we do not have a RS thats keeping a running tally of the store now being 122yo, 123yo, 124. As such i erred on the side of DYK rules requiring sources for everything and noted the Centennial.
    The expansion hook is relevant to Republic (like most western towns) almost totally burnt down several times, Andersons got lucky and didnt, but the original building has still been destroyed with the rebuild and the expansion. so yes the hook IS relating the two based on the noted fire history of the West
    I reworded the three hooks a bit to combat verbosity. I also added the missing citation.--Kevmin § 20:51, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    So the kinds of things I was thinking are like:

    ALT0a: * ... that in its centennial year, Anderson's Grocery (sign pictured) was said to be one of only 10 US small grocery chains still in business after 100 years or more? '100 years or older' just feels awkward

    ALT1a: ... that Anderson's Grocery (sign pictured) once bartered with customers for eggs and wool and offered grain milling? Vehicle fueling doesn't seem that interesting, Kroger's does it now

    ALT2a: ... that unlike most of Republic, Washington, during its first hundred years of business, Anderson's Grocery (sign pictured) never burned?

    ALT2b:... that Anderson's Grocery (sign pictured) was rebuilt in 1955, but not because it, unlike most of Republic, Washington, had burned? I get that it's interesting that the building has been rebuilt for a reason other than typical for the area, and that so yes it's related, but we aren't saying that in ALT2. We're just stating two apparently unrelated facts. We need to either make the connection or make it so intriguing that there doesn't seem to be a connection that people's interest is piqued.

    Valereee (talk) 21:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    All four massaged alts look good and are factual to the souring. I would say I most like Alt0a and alt2a. --00:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

      Just to approve one or more of the tweaked hooks. Valereee (talk) 01:18, 8 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    @Valereee: @Kevmin: I do like ALT0a or ALT2a best, not a big fan of the other two--ALT2b is just a bit confusing. ALT0a could also be shortened to "...was one of only 10 US small grocery chains over 100 years old".
    Also: is the missing apostrophe and uneven capitalization in Andersons Grocery, A family Tradition intentional? Anderson's is missing the apostrophe in a couple of other places in the prose; please make sure one spelling is chosen and stuck with (other than when listed as a historical name) and matches the article title. – TCMemoire 13:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Apostrophes added to areas where missing, (I've always had a bad habit of skipping them when typing). The title case structuring for "Andersons Grocery, A family Tradition" is purposeful as the store itself uses title case with modified capital A.--Kevmin § 15:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    @Valereee, Kevmin, and TCMemoire: Looks like the source attributes to the Food Marketing Institute – could this hook do so as well? (Shameless plug to my essay on this topic.) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 17:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    I would be opposed to that in the hook, as the major criticism @Valereee: gave initially revolved around verbosity. The article itself already reflects the source of the Spokesman-Review information as FMI.--Kevmin § 23:30, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    You can't state that a fact is true in wikivoice if the source you're citing isn't willing to do so, it's an exaggeration of the veracity of the information. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:53, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • *sigh* This is a pendantic level of quibbling that should not be holding up nominations (and also not a core DYK rule). But since you are holding up the nomination:

    ALT0B: * ... that in its centennial year, Anderson's Grocery (sign pictured) was said to be one of only 10 US small grocery's over 100 years old?

    Sorry to push yet more grammar fixes but "groceries" is misspelled, the order of its adjectives should be flipped, and "X in X" statements should be congruent with number case. Here:

    ALT0C: * ... that in its centennial year, Anderson's Grocery (sign pictured) was said to be 1 of only 10 small US groceries over 100 years old?

    @AbhiSuryawanshi: Both of those sources support the claim in ALT3 (as did the source from ALT0). The first one directly cites this article so that would probably be the best source. These should be added in the article.
    The statement "Many people with congenital anosmia often do not enjoy food as much as others because they cannot smell it." also needs to be handled. You don't want to have the article sound ableist and violate NPOV. The new source you added explicitly counters the statement in the article by saying "People with congenital olfactory loss may not miss what they never had." In this way, the congenital form of the condition is different from the acquired form, and this should be in the article.
    You also need to find a source that says Ben Cohen has the congenital form of the condition, or remove the statement from the article. awkwafaba (📥) 16:42, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    @Awkwafaba: Thank you for the feedback. I have removed the sentence stating "Many people with congenital anosmia often do not enjoy food as much as others because they cannot smell it" to avoid any potential ableism and to maintain a neutral point of view. Additionally, I have revised the mention of Ben Cohen to remove the reference to congenital anosmia. Although an interview mentions his anosmia from childhood, which is often considered congenital anosmia, I understand the need for a specific reference that clearly spells out "congenital anosmia." Therefore, I am removing the term "congenital" for now until I can find a source that explicitly confirms it. --AbhiSuryawanshi (talk) 17:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    •   Article was promoted to Good Article within the last couple of days, is easily long enough, well written and copiously referenced. In my opinion the original hook, about being the first to get a BA degree, is best - very interesting indeed. The fact is cited immediately after it, in the lead introduction, to a page hosted on the university website. If I was being picky I'd say the info about achieving a BA degree should be included in the main body of the article too, because the lead intro is normally a summary of the main article. But the GA reviewers didn't have an issue with this, so I'm happy to say good to go to the next stage. Sionk (talk) 17:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    •   Interesting article. Article is within policy, cited to reliable sources, and no copyright violation detected. Hook fact is verified to the cited source. However the hook statement itself is not currently explicitly stated in the article.

    @Willthorpe You misunderstood what I said. I didn't need you to change the hook fact, I needed you to add as inline citation inside the article itself (along with making the text of the hook fact appear in the article's body). We can only promote hooks where the hook content is written with similar language in the article and where that information is directly followed by an inline citation. Currently the Great Northern Railway is only mentioned in the lead and without an inline citation. We need to see the content of the hook fact in the body of the article and with an inline citation. That will require you editing the article to make it compliant with DYK's requirements. Best.4meter4 (talk) 13:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    @4meter4 Oh! I’m afraid you’ve missed it! It’s in the ’Legacy’ section at the end of the article. I figure that featuring citations in the lede is usually bad practice as the content is elaborated on further down, with references there. Will Thorpe (talk) 14:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

    • ... that the discovery of a coffin belonging to Ahhotep I, which had been reused to bury a high priest, ignited a debate among scholars over the true number of Egyptian queens named Ahhotep?
    • Source: "In 1859, a discovery was made at Dra Abu el-Naga of the burial of a queen. The deceased was named as Queen-Consort Ahhotep on her coffin... However, the identification of this Ahhotep with the historically-known wife of King Seqenenra-Tao and mother of King Ahmose was thrown into doubt with the discovery of another coffin from the Deir el-Bahari cache, which also identified the owner as Queen-Consort Ahhotep... This has led to considerable debate over their identities, familial relationships and discussions of whether there were one, two, or even three Ahhoteps." (Sidpura, pp. 21, 23)
    "In 1881, the discovery of the cache at Deir el-Bahri revealed a second coffin for a queen Ahhotep... which contained no more the original mummy but had been reused to host the body of Pinudjem I." (Betro, pp. 134-135).

    Alexander Langmuir

    • Source: "In 1949, Dr. Langmuir created a corps of epidemiologists at what is now the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The corps was ready to fly anywhere immediately to investigate reports of an epidemic or an unusual cluster of cases. Known as the Epidemic Intelligence Service, the program played a crucial role in turning what was then an obscure and fledgling operation into a large Federal agency. [...] When the possibility of biological warfare was raised during the Korean War, scientists looked to epidemiology as the first line of defense. But the country was not prepared. Dr. Langmuir seized the opportunity to strengthen disease surveillance and his program." [32]
    • Reviewed:
    • Comment: I feel that initializing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is appropriate for readability, given that the hook specifically focuses on Langmuir's work with its subsidiary Epidemic Intelligence Service. However, if others feel that the full agency name needs to be listed, that still fits within the 200 character limit (147 vs 186).

    •   Article was created on the day of the nomination and is long enough for DYK standards. Given that all of the sources are offline and/or in Russian, I am unable to check each statement individually and so AGF here; however, if possible, I'd like to request a brief excerpt for the relevant statements supporting both hooks.

    OK, here's the source quote for ALT0 with my translation. It comes from Sviridov's personal jottings that were intended for an essay about Shostakovich published in 1976:

    Когда я играл в Союзе Лен<инградских> комп<озиторов> свою Стр<унную> симфонию, он выступил на обсуждении и говорил: «Свиридов—это наша надежда» и еще несколько раз так говорил. (When at the Len[ingrad] Union of Comp[osers] I played my Str[ing] Symphony, [Shostakovich] spoke up at the conference and said "Sviridov is our hope" and repeated this several more times.)

    —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:04, 17 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    As for ALT1, here's the quote with translation:

    Одной из причин того, что она выпала из поля зрения исследователей, стал тот факт, что после 1943 г. симфония покинула концертный репертуар. [...] Тем не менее симфония не была забыта автором. [...] Вполне очевидно, что Георгий Васильевич хотел дать своему незаслуженно забытому сочинению новую жизнь. Это произошло в 2000 г., уже после кончины композитора. 28 июня 2000 г. в Большом зале Санкт-Петербургской филармонии с успехом прошла повторная премьера Симфонии в исполнении камерного ансамбля «Солисты Москвы» под управлением Юрия Башмета. (One of the reasons [the Symphony for Strings] fell from favor with researchers is the fact that after 1943 it was dropped from the repertoire. [...] Even so, it was not forgotten by its composer. [...] Clearly, Georgy Vasilyevich wanted to breathe new life into his unjustly forgotten work. After the composer's death this came to pass in 2000. The successful second premiere of the Symphony took place on June 28 at the Large Hall of the Saint Petersburg Philharmonia, played by the Moscow Soloists chamber ensemble conducted by Yuri Bashmet.)

Earwig is overloaded and unavailable but spot-checking found no likely copyvio. Hook interesting and within rules. Both hook claims are almost sourced by the "Doyen" footnote, except their number is slightly under 25,000. "Over 25,000" is however in the Storytelling, Self, Society footnote. I don't think we can read anything from the publication dates of those two sources, which are both obituaries of Noy from roughly the same time. Different web sources have different numbers and the archives itself [34] does not appear to provide a current number. If we want to be cautious, we could say "approximately 25,000".

    Article is well written. Please do change formatting of the Flickr primary source used, the publisher isn't Flickr, rather it's the Adminstration/Police of Apia. Flickr is merely a webhost.
    Merge duplicate source of Field Michael (1989); Reed p.219

    The way the hook is presented feels a bit punchy, as if children are being excluded from a friendly public library and not like from a library of similar stature to the US Library of Congress. The National Library of Korea generally has a serious academic reputation, and there are numerous local libraries in Seoul for all ages. I'm a bit skeptical of this library being used as a talking point like this (although this talking point is used in both SK/English-language media), although I do personally agree with the conclusion being drawn. The hook is true and I won't challenge it, but just wanted to share context for it. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 08:35, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    I notice you've added some content cited to Korean language sources to the article. English sources didn't provide any context about other libraries (and some stated that other libraries were also no kid zones). Obviously the language cited doesn't matter for verifiability, just whether or not the given source is a reliable one. I don't speak Korean so I'm unsure if this source is reliable [36]. I'd appreciate a second opinion here. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    It's the weekly edition of Kyunghyang Shinmun, article by this reporter. The reporter seems to be employed by the newspaper; the piece specifically cited is just a casual society piece. It's not a particularly important ref; you can remove if want. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 13:07, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Okay, thanks for that context. Unless the publication is known for publishing unreliable content, it's probably fine. Could you provide some background on this source too? I just want to make sure there's really strong sourcing for the when statements here. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    It's Yonhap News Agency, one of the largest news agencies in South Korea. No particular strong particular leaning that I know of and is considered among the most reliable in Korea. Anything in particular about the article you'd like to know? 211.43.120.242 (talk) 13:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    경기일보 is Kyeonggi Ilbo [ko], a regional newspaper for Gyeonggi Province. No particular strong reputation that I know of; just a local paper. The Chosun Ilbo is a newspaper of record, and only cited for one sentence where it's reporting the results of a survey. The only source that's a little sus is OhmyNews in the image caption; the only reason I added that was because that's where the image comes from and it's a fairly innocuous claim being cited. Please lmk if there's any other concerns. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 14:06, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

The nomination was passed yesterday, making this new enough. All three hooks are good and their refs check out for the info and for in-line usage in the article for the information.

The hook is interesting, though the source for the "hole" part is in French, and is poorly scanned, but Asiatimes tells about both hole and disruption.

    •   The article, being a Good Level article, is long enough and properly uses in-line citations. It was passed today, so is new enough for requirements. The hook is interesting and is nominally referenced, but I run across a problem with it and your second reference used. According to The O'Hara Concern, the interaction with Hemingway ended with "Hemingway took the bet and said, "Not only that, but I'm going to break it over my own head". So he didn't break the blackthorn staff over O'Hara's head, but his own. Perhaps you misunderstood the line just after where it said O'Hara was "painfully pounded", but that was referring to Hemingway pounding him on the back when he walked over. SilverserenC 22:10, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
    • Alternative hook with added detail that adds more color to the story: ... that Ernest Hemingway broke a blackthorn cane over John O'Hara's head in Costello's, a New York City Irish bar, and that Costello's owner displayed the broken cane over the bar?

    Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator

    (

    Astronaut training in the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator. This position meant that a person's legs experienced only one sixth of their weight, which was the equivalent of being on the lunar surface.
    • ... that Apollo astronauts walked on walls (pictured) before walking on the Moon? Source: [45]: "A person lies sideways, supported by slings around their waist and rib cage, which are attached to very long cables connected to a mounting point somewhere above them. Instead of touching the floor, their feet actually touch a wall that is slightly tilted, so it’s not exactly perpendicular to the floor. This gives them a fake “ground” to practice walking, running, and jumping on without feeling the full force of Earth’s gravity."

    QPQ: Done.

    Overall:   It took me a minute to find where the hook is mentioned in the article, and I think that's because the article mentions the walls instead as a surface "9.5° angle from horizontal". Should this be "9.5° angle from vertical" instead, since it's almost vertical? Other than these couple of questions, looks good to me. @Artem.G Bsoyka (t • c • g) 03:54, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

      • Hey Bsoyka, thanks for the review! I'll think about the crop, or maybe css crop can be used? Will experiment with it a bit later from a laptop. Regarding the vertical or horizontal angle, this is from a source If we want a simulated gravitational field (and free-fall acceleration) of 1.63 m/s2, then the person and floor would need to be leaning 9.6 degrees from being completely horizontal. I think 9.5 is from a 1965 paper, will check it again. Let me know if it's confusing, and I will think about better phrasing. Artem.G (talk) 10:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
        • @Artem.G: Not sure CSS cropping can be done here since we have to use the {{Main page image/DYK}} template—probably easier to just extract a new version solely for DYK, more details on that here. Now with the phrasing, I understand it more with that source because it says the person is almost horizontal, which makes much more sense. I think the relevant sentence in the article needs to be adjusted to say that, because it doesn't make sense to just say the walkway is almost horizontal.
