  • According to DYK-check, "Article has not been expanded 5x since it was created". (I haven't checked for copy-right violations). Also, I would have liked to know why it is called the Orca Shipwreck? Huldra (talk) 22:37, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
This article was created 4 days ago and on the same day i nominated it for DYK. The reason for the name derives from the news articvle staitng it was found next to Israels' Orca gas field. Here is the quote from the article: "While scanning the seabed ahead of developing Israel's Orca natural gas field , Energean observed an anomaly that would change our understanding of ancient navigation skills" Owenglyndur (talk) 07:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
  • New enough and long enough. Hook fact checks out. Nominator was QPQ-exempt. They have been indefinitely blocked for copyvio issues, though Earwig gives a clean bill of health to the existing sources in page, at least in English. Given the nominator's block, I would like this to be double-checked by someone with Hebrew fluency before approval to see if there is copyvio to the Hebrew-language source in this page. I will manage any changes necessary. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 19:52, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
  • I agree that given the circumstances, a copyvio check of other language sources is essential. Without that, this should not go any further. Schwede66 17:01, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
  • If the nominator has been blocked for copyright violations, and no one has stepped forward to offer to check the sources, then I think it's time to close this as unsuccessful. We have enough nominations that this does not have to run. Z1720 (talk) 23:14, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
  • I reviewed it and while I didn't see any copyvio I also in an abundance of caution edited it and added a number of google-translated sources. ALT1 is shorter so punchier and my preference. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:45CF:48FA:4F1F:A7EF (talk) 05:31, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
