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
- change
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.

- 5× expansion of 4 March 2024 version completed from 1,888 characters to 20,402 and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quotes from reviews that have all been cited; AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 74 characters long (ALT1 is 113; ALT2 is 141); all three are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs 46 (verifying the main hook and ALT1), 54 (verifying ALT1), 66, 69, and 72 (verifying ALT2) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Overall: I don't see anything in the guidelines about QPQs needing to be done recently, but this one was done in 2021 and hasn't been used as a QPQ by the nominator before. If that's okay, then this nom is good to go. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Voorts, thank you for the review, I tried to do a few QPQs before I needed them and they have got rather old. Fortunately WP:QPQ says QPQs do not expire and may be used at any time for a future DYK nomination. TSventon (talk) 00:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Voorts and TSventon: I cannot confirm in any sources that this was the first known skeleton. Maybe first "complete" can be investigated if sources support? I do see a source for "Peale eventually founded the first natural history museum in the United States". But I do not know about the reliability of the source (czasopisma) - that can be investigated for a hook idea, or you can introduce a different hook. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
@Voorts and Bruxton: I was trying to put the hook in my own words and overdid the paraphrasing. When Semonin says the skeleton was complete I think he meant almost complete so I have reworded the article and the hook. Peale's museum as "the first natural history museum in the United States" is arguable, but would need more work. This argued it was not.
- Alt1 ... that exhibits at Peale's Philadelphia Museum included the first nearly complete skeleton of a mastodon (excavation pictured)? Source: Mysteries of the First Mastodon https://americanart.si.edu/blog/mysteries-first-mastodon-conservators-perspective
TSventon (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. It is difficult to find the hook because it is not explicit in the article. I did find the two parts to the hook in The Peale Mastodon section so ALT1 works. Bruxton (talk) 14:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- The hook is explicit but unreferenced in the lead, I could add a reference to the Smithsonian article there if that made things clearer. In the body one of the sentences was not immediately followed by a reference, so I fixed that.
- By the way, on the first museum, I have seen things like the first successful public museum of natural history, but that would need to be discussed in the article and is not particularly hooky. TSventon (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:35, 9 May 2024 (UTC).
- article was recently expanded, is long enough and within policy. QPQ is done. My issue is the hook, specifically the sentence structure which is abnormal for DYK. The interesting part of the hook isn't found in the statement that he taught lit at Yale, even though the emphasis of the hook is on that. Recommend rewording to:
- ALT1 ... that Peter Demetz (pictured), who taught German literature at Yale University from 1956 to 1991, was born in Prague where he was persecuted under the Nazis and escaped the Communist regime in 1949? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:37, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you for the review. ALT1 is acceptable to me. - In almost 15 years with DYK I learned, however, that mentioning Nazi adds 1k clicks (which the stats for Liviu Holender seem to support, again), and I learned from Narutolovehinata5 that the key fact should come at the end. My reason for the order was none of those considerations but that simply teaching German in Yale is not that outstanding, but focusing on German at all after his history is, and then teaching in Yale even more.

However, prior to 2011, China's vetoes in the UNSC were rare and only four times [5] were it used prior to the start of the 21st century. Since the mentioned vetoes were related to sending peacekeeping troops, it might be interesting as the users would look into the article to see why the peacekeeping resolutions were vetoed.

Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed

- Source: Several examples in the article, including Coughlin, No More Jellyfish (2008), p. 101: "Many believers were given what's called worm theology. The name comes from the Isaac Watts hymn "Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed," one line of which says, "Would He devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?"

Mystery Merrivale (talk) 17:16, 11 May 2024 (UTC).
- I am willing to review this later today. Please think about rephrasing the hook or find a different one, because it's not just a reference to worms which was seen as a problem, but that the singer has to call himself or herself a worm. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:43, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting detailed article, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I have the above problem with the hook, and actually the lead, where it says "described as a worm". I think it's key that the singer says it in the first person, referring to their own person, - not just to some worm. Perhaps just quote the complete phrase?
- In the article, please check all quotation for punctuation that doesn't belong within the quote. I am also not sure about the capitals in the title, because - per this being the incipit (or first line), you could also have sentence case, as at least one source has (and hymnary.org seems undecided, having both on one page).

Laura Veale
- ... that Laura Veale was the first Yorkshire-born woman to be qualified as a doctor?
- Source: Several, including: Harrogate Advertiser: "Hampsthwaite commemorates North Yorkshire’s first female doctor Laura Sobey Veale". Note: This fact has had to be carefully interpreted. It was initially expressed as "the first Yorkshire woman to become a doctor" on the brown plaque, pictured in the article and written by the eminent Harrogate historian Malcolm Neesam. He meant "Yorkshire-born". However it has since been interpreted to mean that she was the first female doctor to practise in Yorkshire, which would be incorrect. Edith Pechey was the first qualified woman doctor to practise in Yorkshire, but she was born in Essex, so to local understanding she was definitely not a "Yorkshire woman" (they are very parochially-minded here). Veale was born in Yorkshire.

- Thank you for the review, Silver seren Re the "even more so than necessary", you'll find that some experienced editors are doing that for a good reason. For example, if you have a "first" in the article, that is going to be automatically questioned and double-checked, and rightly so. Therefore, it is worth finding as many different, independent sources as possible for that "first" and including them all in the article. There is also the fact that some sources may be accessible to some readers (e.g. readers with a subscription, readers in the UK, etc.) and some source may not be accessible to all (e.g. readers outside the UK or without subscription), so it's worth giving them a few alternative sources. A third reason is that various sources give different aspects to the same fact, and some sources also include extra facts which the editor chooses not to include in the article, but which are extremely interesting. In the cast of historical articles, contemporary sources may give the historical standpoint on the matter. Extra sources containing additional facts may also allow other editors to expand the article. Nothing is wasted in this particular article, and there is a reason for everything.

- Let's work with ALT1, as I think it's the most interesting for outside readers. It also needs some edits to be clear for an outside reader.. "Instead of" is a little unclear as it implies that maybe she was supposed to do something and disobeyed. The article is more accurate in that the chair "represented her artistic vision of Syrian victims and refugees". We should also somehow note the Syrian context, both for the artist and refugees.

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: An interesting article on a little-known ancient instrument. The date of creation, length and references are correct (AGF on offline sources), and the qpq has been done. The article relies heavily on primary sources, but these are only quoted, not interpreted, so that's good. We have a staggering 49% earwigs score, but this is due to the copied fragment. Anyway, I think that you should mention who is the translator of these fragments, before I declare the article plagiarism free. The phrase about "Athenian banquets" is repeated, one of the two occurrences should be paraphrased. The hook is cited, but is rather long, I think it should be shortened and - above all - the language should be made more fluid. Regarding the "surviving ancient snippets", I understand what you mean, but it should be better explained for the reader: adding some context would help.

Article is long enough, created within the window and generally in a good place. QPQ is done (I assume the one is good, even though there are two nominators). Images are all appropriately licensed and I can find no evidence of other plagiarism, copyvio or BLP issues. Would suggest linking art deco and ziggurat in the appropriate hooks, and "art-deco style" needs a hyphen in ALT2. Our own article also capitalises Art Deco, as does the main page for this one: would suggest doing so in the hooks. UndercoverClassicist T·C 06:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Anyway, there's just one issue that I have – there's a Distractify source used in the article, which is considered unreliable; I feel like there could be a more reliable source out there that verifies the fact that he "repeatedly tells his partner that he is willing to marry if she signs a prenuptial agreement, to keep his assets if they separate".

Article meets adequate quality standards and contains enough prose for DYK, my only suggestions are for "the western end of the building" to be potentially reworded just due to similarity in the source, and for the double space in the 'History' section to be fixed. Very interesting hook! I took a look at the source and I noticed that it had mentioned "Moriori, Maori, or Pakeha" (meaning the missionaries failed to convert Indigenous or European New Zealanders) and I'm wondering if this, or the fact that this took place in New Zealand, would be worth mentioning in the hook as well.

Overall: Earwigs show 53.4% possible, but it's a case of false positive as the matched texts are part of a quoted paragraph, so we're good. And it's a bad source to be added here in this nom (paid, and also doesn't fully align with the hook as is, as pointed above by another user). However, sources used in the article are better, while another one doesn't explicitly mention the hook, but 2 does. Another point to be noted here is the number of lines of the code. It varies by publication. Although from the picture provided, yes there are 17 total markdowns, but some of them are empty, so it comes down to 11 "actual" lines. But some sources I checked, even outside this article, do not mention the specific number of lines, and the ones that do, 2 of which are also sourced in the article, have different numbers (17). Also, the article had some copy editing issues, which I've fixed. By the way, you may consider improving the sourcing style on this one (as it's also a GA nominee). Such as interlinking the publications, or consider introducing journal or book citations as well. But for my money, DYK seems good to go, however, the current blurb needs to be modified to something like ALT0a ... that in 2016, the removal of a few lines of code briefly "broke the Internet"? X (talk) 04:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Xoak Thank you for the review! This is my first ever submission to DYK so I appreciate the thorough comments. I will go ahead and edit the blurb as suggested. Best, ~Liancetalk 16:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Liance:, That's great! By the way a few friendly notes for future noms, when an ALT blurb is proposed, you can simply just reply with your support for that blurb or oppose or express your opinion on it. No need to alter your ALT0 (which is the original hook), and notice how I added "a" beside ALT0, since it's pretty much the same fact with minor tweaks. But if the fact differs totally, then it'd be listed as ALT1, ALT2 and so forth. And if you remove anything from the original hook after the review is done, you should mention it for historical/future references (i.e., the removal of the image). Anyway, thank you for your creation and inviting you to contribute to more DYKs. Regards.

Overall: Hi JayceFey! Just a small recommendation: While I am aware that Track listing and Personnel sections are generally citation-free, the final sentence of the Background section that mentions the absence of three tracks in the previous albums lacks a citation. It may have been intended as an extension of the primary source from the previous album, but I would advise citing it with a secondary source if possible. The hook is interesting. Second DYK nomination so QPQ-free. Earwig's Detector shows a 4.8% similarity, but it's not plagiarism after double checking. The article is well-written overall.

- New, long enough, wonderfully written, and interesting throughout; QPQ done. The source apparently verifies the hook (I used automatic translation on the Mongolian text), but I cannot determine the quality of the source, as the publisher is not identified -- if it self-published, as it looks, I have reservations about its usability anywhere in the article, and especially for sourcing the hook. Also, assuming the source is reliable: the hook is fun and all, but the article has much more interesting facts, which seem to be quoted to much more reliable sources -- how about something on his refusal to criticize Genghis? Dahn (talk) 18:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review Dahn! The source may be self-published, but its author, Ishdorj, Ts., was a reputable Mongolian historian. Now, being a 20th century Mongolian historian means that you're not very prominent on Google, but you can still find evidence of his subject-matter expertise at links such as [17] [18] and [19]. He is also mentioned in a New York Times article and was the recipient of a medal for his contributions to scholarship. After finishing the article, I had actually found more details on his avoidance of censorship, and now we have a new paragraph! As for another hook, how about ALT1: ... that Shagdarjavin Natsagdorj's remarks at an academic conference led to a communist purge and contributed to the Sino-Soviet split? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:16, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- I am not doubting Ishdorj's qualifications, but the problem with self-published sources is that they are generally (or universally) below the RS threshold, regardless of who the author is; we generally cannot trust their content to have been edited by anyone, and we technically can't even tell it's an actual article by Ishdorj (it probably is, and as such written in a blog-ish manner, but still...). I won't insist that you remove it from the article, but I would suggest that it should not be used for the front-page hook. Therefore:

Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain
- ... that critics praised Rosario Dawson's narration in Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain for its clarity and engagement, despite the film's complex subject matter?
- Source:
- "With input from technologists, entrepreneurs, currency experts, news analysts and others, a wide, kinetic array of archival clips and more recent visuals, and Rosario Dawson’s crisply voiced narration, the movie engagingly outlines blockchain’s role as the underlying technology behind such digital currencies as bitcoin (which gets its own dissection), plus its growing part in accounting practices, music industry payments and renewable energy markets." LA Times
- "Moviegoers who still think that “Bitcoin” and “blockchain” are synonyms will have their eyes opened by Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain, an engaging doc..." "Winter and narrator Rosario Dawson whisk us back to the 2008 economic collapse" The Hollywood Reporter
- "The fast-paced, globe-hopping documentary “Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain” provides plenty of words, examples and context to help define its complex subject, blockchain technology. Still, it’s unlikely that less initiated viewers will be able to fully explain, without a crib sheet, what they’ve just learned. That’s no fault of this well-assembled film, or its capable writer-director, Alex Winter...but, rather, of the elusive concept of blockchain..." LA Times"
- ALT1: ... that musical artist Imogen Heap is featured in Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain, discussing how blockchain could enable direct micropayments from fans to artists? Source: "songwriters like Imogen Heap believe it could even help fix the carnage Napster caused, letting fans support artists directly with micropayments. The DJ Gramatik went even further than Heap, making his entire discography available on file-sharing sites and selling shares in his career via crypto." Hollywood Reporter
- ALT2: ... that the 2018 documentary film Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain features UNICEF exploring blockchain as a means to give stateless refugees official identities? Source:
- "In one of the most tangible examples, a group within UNICEF is exploring blockchain as a means of giving refugees official identities independent of the failed nations they’re fleeing — eliminating vast amounts of bureaucracy on individuals’ long roads to aid and safety." The Hollywood Reporter
- "We learn how, thanks to blockchain, neighbors in Brooklyn can trade solar electricity; how the technology might provide records for stateless refugees; and how it offers a way for fans to buy equity in an artist they like, without the middle men who come with sales on the internet."

- Nyanardsan Thanks for the new article. I've two questions. What is the reliability of tirto.id? Indonesian Wiki https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirto says it is "a news, article, opinion and infographic site". Minor ce required in the last line: "stayed independent until it voluntarily joined the newly Indonesia Republic." - newly xzy Indonesia - xyz is missing. Is that "formed" or "independent" or something else? Thanks — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 08:48, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Tirto ID is relatively reliable in my opinion as they often do more in-depth analysis and historical infographics. For example their KODAM history series is pretty reliable and neutral (https://tirto.id/kodam-sriwijaya-dari-pergolakan-prri-sampai-peristiwa-talangsari-eT13, https://tirto.id/kodam-pattimura-laskar-orang-maluku-dan-pergulatan-menumpas-rms-eUcr, https://tirto.id/kodam-merdeka-gejolak-prajurit-minahasa-dan-penumpasan-permesta-eUco).

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Article properly expanded, no copy vio. Sources used appear reliable. I've done some minor copy edits. ALT0 is rather uninteresting and dull, ALT1 in the hook it is mentioned as "subscription library" and this term has been used in the lead as well, but with no citation although the fact is cited later on in the History section. But as DYK hook rules suggest, the terms used in the hook should be cited in the article somewhat as is. Currently, the cited description in the history section does not mention the word subscription, and the sources do not mention it directly, which is fine here as we can calibrate that easily from the stated info. But it'd be better if you made a mention of that word in that section as well. ALT2 is the most interesting of the bunch. However, it needs a bit of rewording. The source cited mention "due to concerns over Asbestos" but the hooks states directly "due to asbestos". This should be reworded. Moving to ALT3, it feels rather mundane. Ping me once you've made the adjustments. Regards. X (talk) 02:50, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Xoak: I've decided to lean into ALT2 and ALT3. Reworded ALT2 as you suggested, and clarified what I was going for with ALT3 (the interest part was that it was only added after it was closed). Half-considering adding an ALT4 about how the Modern building was the first such building to be added to the Register, but I'm banking mainly on ALT2, which I agree is the most interesting. I was also thinking of adding another hook about how the 1877 fire originated from Fox's American Theatre considering it was in DYK recently, but I can't find a source that clearly states the connection and I doubt it would be particularly interesting to anyone except Philadelphia architectural historians.

Dellwood Cemetery

- ALT1: ... that Robert Todd Lincoln's body was stored in the Dellwood Cemetery receiving vault for almost two years? Source: In July 1926, Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln died in Hildene, the family home in Manchester Center, Vermont. His body was stored in the receiving vault at Dellwood Cemetery until March 1928 when arrangements were made to inter his remains at Arlington National Cemetery.
- ALT2: ... that the headstones from the old cemetery in Manchester Village, Vermont, were moved to Dellwood Cemetery but the bodies were left behind? Source: One section of the cemetery contains the tombstones from the initial town cemetery established in 1784. The tombstones from the old cemetery were moved to clear the lot for construction of the court house, however, the bodies were not reinterred.

When North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un released his latest song two weeks ago, surely he couldn't have foreseen it becoming a hit on TikTok. But the propaganda tune has gone viral online with Gen Z users bopping around to the synthy-electro pop. ... But there is a certain Soviet-era tinge to it; Gen Z users describe it as 'Abba-coded', a reference to the Swedish superband.

- Comment I'm an IP user so I think I can't approve the overall DYK, but just a heads up that I'm a Korean speaker and I verified that both hook 1 and ALT1 are supported by the sources given. I'll give a slight comment that I'd prefer ALT1 be worded as "... that Ryu Sung-hyun (pictured) will become the first Korea National Sport University student athlete to compete at two Olympic Games?" Think the meaning of this is slightly clearer and it's slightly more concise. I prefer the main hook to ALT1 though; think it's more interesting. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 07:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: hooks that treat the future as definite are problematic. I'm assuming Ryu Sung-hyun has qualified for the Olympics, but even athletes on their country's Olympic teams sometimes don't end up competing due to injury, illness, accident, or some other complication, so "will" is a problem (see WP:CRYSTAL). Perhaps "is set to become" could be used (though, like the IP user, I prefer the original hook):

- I will gladly review this in the coming days! WatkynBassett (talk) 06:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- The article was created on 19 May 2024 and nominated on the same day. It is thus eligible.
- The article is sourced. I did two spot checks and the references checked out.
- The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone.
- Earwig did not pick up anything noteworthy.
- QPQ done.
- Hook review: I think the original hook is the best one and it is ODNB sourced and thus viable. I nevertheless have small questions:
- In my opinion "earl of Bamburgh" should be wikilinked. Probably to Rulers of Bamburgh (even though Earl of Bamburgh redirects to Earl of Northumbria [is this a redirection mistake, I am not knowledgeable here]?)
- The flow of the wording might be improved: What do you think about "... that Uhtred became earl of Bamburgh after his victory at the siege of Durham, even though his father seems to have still been living?"
- "his father" should probably also be wikilinked to Waltheof of Bamburgh - what do you think?
- Thanks for creating free and interesting knowledge! I will approve this nomination once these small questions have been addressed! WatkynBassett (talk) 07:27, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Created Alt0a to address the above suggestions. I have no strong feelings about whether this is better than the original. The question about Earl of Northumbria vs Rulers of Bamburgh is a question I've no clear answer for. CSJJ104 (talk) 19:49, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at this again I notice Waltheof of Bamburgh is a stub. I'm unsure if this might be an issue for inclusion in the hook?
- While I have no issue with whichever hook the promoter chooses when that point is reached I do like Alt2 as being distinct from the sort of hook which typically appears on DYK. CSJJ104 (talk) 20:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your work on the hook. In my experience many hooks with doubtful reliability are extensively discussed and often challenged at the promotion stage or even later when the sets are put together therefore, I did not pick the more unusual hook ALT2 (which has the qualifier "tradition"). I think ALT0a is fine and that a stub article is wikilinked is no issue at all. I approve hook ALT0a. WatkynBassett (talk) 05:25, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: The article was created on 22 May 2024. It has a readable prose size of 3211 characters. QPQ not yet done. WP:EARWIG shows now copyvios. More comments later.
Each paragraph has a source. Some parts of the lead and the section "Early life and education" sound very similar to the text in Moulton 1893, p. 722. This needs to be rewritten to avoid WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE. I didn't check the rest of the article so please make sure that the problem is not found in other parts as well. The hooks are interesting and supported by the source. Both hooks are too long: they should be below 200 characters and ideally below 160 characters. The picture is freely licenced, used in the article, and clear. Phlsph7 (talk) 13:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Phlsph7: thanks for your evaluation. Some parts of the lead and the section "Early life and education" sound very similar Because they are similar. I've used it as a source material, and "the article merely presents standard facts for a topic like this in standard sequence. The article does not copy any creative words or phrases, similes or metaphors." And a direct comparison with the Moulton source shows no violation. However, all of these becomes irrelevant here because the dictionary is in public domain and properly attributed in the source section. Regardless PD or not, the article does not closely paraphrase, rather presents standard facts in an orderly sequence. WP:LIMITED exists. Although redundant, I've now added a PD template as well in the ref section (which is usually done if it's a case of somewhat direct copy-paste, although this isn't the case here). Re the blurb's lentgh, while nominating I made sure they are under 200 characters. And yes shorter blurbs would be better. We may simply remove the "American educator" bits: ALT0b ... that Lois E. Trott (pictured) ran the first lodging house for homeless girls in America, providing shelter and support for over 1,000 girls annually, all without receiving any payment? ALT0c... that Lois E.

Let me know which one you prefer or if have your own opinion. Regards. X (talk) 07:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- The template should solve the close-paraphrase problem. I wasn't aware that the phrase "(pictured)" does not count towards the character limit (per WP:DYK200), which means that the original hooks pass the test. I think all that remains is the QPQ. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
