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.

Nominations

[edit]

Special occasion holding area

[edit]
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. Arcahaeoindris (talk) 04:34, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Arcahaeoindris So that would be "... that four decades after missing an event at the 1960 Summer Olympics, Suriname's sole athlete was found to have not "overslept"? " Arconning (talk) 15:06, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arconning: yes, that sounds good. Please can you add this as Alt1? Thanks! Arcahaeoindris (talk) 07:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arconning, Arcahaeoindris, Schwede66, and SunTunnels: Hooks say 'four decades', article implies 45 years (1960 --> 2005). Numbers ending in a five round up, so these are not the same thing. I suggest spelling out "45 years". As for the wording, "to not have" jars way more than "to have not".--Launchballer 23:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To say "45 years" instead of "four decades" is clearly an improvement. As English isn't my first language, I shall stay away from commenting on the order of those three words "not – have – to". Schwede66 23:50, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If WP:DYKHFC wasn't a thing, I'd propose ALT2: ... that 45 years after missing an event at the 1960 Summer Olympics, Suriname's sole athlete was found to have not "overslept"?. The 2005 bit of the hook does need an end-of-sentence citation, and pronto.--Launchballer 00:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Launchballer Would this work? [5] Arconning (talk) 07:08, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't speak Dutch, so AGF. Whatever you're using, it needs to be in the article no later than the end of the applicable sentence.--Launchballer 08:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Launchballer I hope I did it correctly. Arconning (talk) 09:42, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That ref corresponds to the bit that says the investigation was in 2005. I think it should be at the end of the sentence ending 'not Esajas' fault' (which I've copyedited to remove an unattributed quote).--Launchballer 10:01, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Launchballer Done. Arconning (talk) 12:38, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's better, although I just noticed that "overslept" is not attributed anywhere in the article.--Launchballer 12:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it is, in the "Athletics" section. Arconning (talk) 13:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Allegedly is a word to watch. I've taken the quote out, though I need longer to think how best to word an ALT.--Launchballer 14:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. All the hooks proposed above appear to share the same inaccuracy. Esajas was never Suriname's sole athlete; he was the sole athlete in its delegation to the 1960 Summer Olympics. I suggest:
  • ALT3 ... that in its first appearance at the Olympics, Suriname was represented by a single athlete, who missed his event?
or:
I won't approve a hook with 'four decades' or with 'overslept' in quote marks per my comments above. My bone of contention is that they only proved that his lateness was not his fault. They did not prove what time he actually woke up and common sense dictates that Olympians are too disciplined to just have lie-ins like that. I suggest either:
ALT5: ... that 45 years after missing his event at the 1960 Summer Olympics, Suriname's first Olympian was found to have not done so deliberately?, or
ALT6: ... that it took the Suriname Olympic Committee 45 years to honor the country's first Olympian? The latter has an option to substitute 'that' for 'why', as last month's most successful hook was a non-that hook.--Launchballer 11:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then I think the simple ALT3 (as it's now numbered) is better than any of those that are about the exoneration. Even though the poor man got a raw deal, the article is Suriname at the 1960 Olympics and his missing his event is interesting. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:25, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3 checks out. Let's roll.--Launchballer 21:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article is newly created and is sourced properly along with the hook. No copyright violations but I do wonder if it's possible (if source exists), to add information on how he got the gunshot wound. Regardless, I think the article is overall good to go. But waiting for QPQ and then once that's done, the hook should be ready go. - Toadboy123 (talk) 14:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Toadboy123: QPQ done. As for how he was shot, all the source says is: Alasan Ann was hanging out with friends in Minneapolis when he heard gunshots and screams. Scared for his life, his first instinct was to run, as fast as he could. “Not now, not ever,” the 23-year-old athlete thought to himself. “[We] started running to our car. And while we were running, I got hit in my leg, but I didn’t stop,” he told Olympics.com, his voice trailing off. Is there anything you think I should add from that?

I'll also note that the article would be better with a bit more prose to contextualize what is going on here. Currently the article itself is very inaccessible to the average reader, it would be nice to have a background of why this equation is important (I see the term "Diophantine equation" being used, maybe you could include a few sentences on how this relates to the article) and some prose (as opposed to proofs) to convey the methods being used to solve it. Sohom (talk) 01:10, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to our DYK rules, "Hooks should be likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest". I don't think that is the case for the proposed hook. Also, I think the hook is misleading: as far as we know, it could be the case that all solutions of the equation are the single solution 1+2=3, unrelated to the log(2) calculation. And calling this an "application" is dubious when it is just a mathematical calculation used to support another mathematical calculation. I have generally interpreted this rule as requiring that the hook connect the subject to some real-world topic beyond mathematics (just as we require that hooks about fiction connect the subject to some real-world topic beyond the plot). Unfortunately I see no non-mathematics at all in the article, on which to build a hook. It's kind of interesting to me that the known lower bound on a second solution is such a huge number, but I don't think I represent a general reader for this purpose. I do also agree that the walls of equations make the article hard to read (not just to the average reader), but that is not really a DYK criterion. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:22, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, as a non-math guy, this hook is remarkably uninteresting. Though that is obviously my opinion, it shows that it is likely not a suitable one, or the article as a whole as a matter of a fact. TheBritinator (talk) 01:43, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How about "... that the only known solution for the Erdős–Moser equation is "1 + 2 = 3" ? DS (talk) 21:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's better. It still doesn't relate to non-mathematics at all, but at least it's (1) at a level understandable to the general reader, and (2) kind of intriguing how something so basic-looking as 1+2=3 could be the basis of something where we don't know if there is another solution. The question is whether it's enough better to pass the interestingness test. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:27, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also think that's better. I was going to suggest something like "... no one knows whether the Erdős–Moser equation has more than one solution". XOR'easter (talk) 22:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have added the 1+2=3 hook to the list. - LucasBrown 04:07, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dxneo:: Noting that I've tweaked the nomination to remove "(pictured)". Hey man im josh (talk) 19:19, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Dxneo, Crisco 1492, and Hey man im josh: Apologies, but I've pulled the hook, both because the set this was promoted to already had two music hooks and thus needed rejigging (see WT:DYK#Prep 4 rejigger; courtesy ping Bruxton), but also because I don't think the hook as currently written meets WP:DYKINT. If readers do not know who Tyla or Tems are, the hook doesn't really seem to make much sense or at least catch attention. There might be potential in the hook fact itself (i.e. the submission date delay), but in any case the hook probably needs to be reworded to add context for readers unfamiliar with either artist. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:03, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5, Crisco 1492, and Hey man im josh:, I thought the hook was supposed to be concise and straight to the point. "If readers do not know who Tyla or Tems are, the hook doesn't really seem to make much sense or at least catch attention." So how do we go about this, are we supposed to introduce them on DYK? I'm so confused. Any suggestions on how the hook can be improved? dxneo (talk) 08:09, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Dxneo. Even without following recent music, I was able to tell that it was "that musician delayed album to allow collaboration with musician." We could contextualize it by including "South African singer" for Tyla and "Nigerian singer" for Tems, but that introduces repetition and doesn't seem to qualify Tyla sufficiently given her Grammy win and charting.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Contextualizing is probably a good idea and what I originally had in mind as the solution. Also while the Grammy winning thing is a good thing, not everyone may be following the Grammys or be as well-versed in entertainment. Not all Grammy winners are household names. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Narutolovehinata5, yes you are right. However, these are two well established artists. Tyla peaked in top 10 in over 25 countries and was also certified higher than Gold in over 10 countries. On the other hand, Tems pretty much did the same thing and even more since she has been in the game longer than Tyla. We may say "South African singer Tyla…" as there are other Tylas, but there's only one Tems. Thoughts? dxneo (talk) 13:33, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1: ... that South African singer Tyla delayed her debut album's submission date in order to collaborate with Tems?

If the Grammy Award wasn't enough to validate her notability, I hope the BETs got the job done. I mean, how long are we gonna discuss this DYK. dxneo (talk) 07:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Narutolovehinata5, is the issue now addressed or…? dxneo (talk) 09:52, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose I can live with ALT1, although my preference would still be to include Nigerian singer somewhere in the hook. That would be optional though given the focus is on Tyla and adding that would make the hook far more clunky. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bruxton (talk) 19:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • This is only a preliminary review for now as the article needs a copyedit when it comes to wording and missing punctuation. However, the article does seem long enough and is adequately sourced and a QPQ has been done. My preferred hook is ALT1, but it doesn't exactly match the article or the source so it might fail at WT:DYK or ERRORS. ALT0 could probably be modified to say he never played organized football before signing up as the current wording might be too vague. ALT2 might need additional context especially for readers from countries where Judaism is not a common religion: my suggestion would be to propose a new hook that explains his 39 jersey and how it related to the Sabbath. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: Thank you for checking out this nomination.. I did some copyediting but it is hard for me to find my own errors so I would appreciate you calling them out. For hook ideas I prefer that someone click the article to discover rather than getting in the weeds with specificity in the hook. For fifth and sixth hook ideas:
ALT4: ... that a wide receiver on the Texas A&M Aggies football team wears number 39 to symbolize the tasks or items which Jews should avoid during the Sabbath?
ALT5: ... that American football player Sam Salz wears number 39 to remind him of "lamed tet melachot"?
Bruxton (talk) 15:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT4 sounds good to me. The article is improved but the wording still seems a bit weird (for example, "As a young boy Salz never watched college football because it is played on the Shabbat and he is an observant orthodox Jew." and "He was not invited to join the football team so he practiced by himself within sight of the football team and eventually earned a roster spot.") I don't have access to the NYT source; is 2003 mentioned in that article? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:18, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: Excellent. You can archive a link to read text it by putting the url in archive.ph. Here is a link to the NYT article. I got 2003 from "Salz, 21, became obsessed with playing college football at a young age, for reasons he can’t exactly pinpoint." It is a 2024 article and 2024-21 is c. 2003. Regarding the two sentences, I do not see the weirdness to their structurel; if you do please edit them. Bruxton (talk) 23:47, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe it's just me not being a native speaker but something feels off about the first sentence to me, but it could just be that it's correct to a native speaker but sounds weird to a non-native one. The second one could probably be rewritten to something like "As he was not invited to join the football team, he practiced by himself within sight of them. He eventually earned a roster spot." Maybe something like that? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: I reordered the first sentence you called out and I used your language for the second sentence. Bruxton (talk) 22:44, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I think about it, ALT4a is quite long. Would it be okay if it got shortened to ALT4a ... that a Texas A&M Aggies football wide receiver wears number 39 to symbolize the tasks or items which Jews should avoid during the Sabbath? "Football" could even be dropped if possible, but given American football's relatively niche popularity outside of North America, just "wide receiver" without context might not make much sense, hence the addition of "football" (or even "college football" if really needed). Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Narutolovehinata5: I am ok with any change that helps advance this nomination. Bruxton (talk) 01:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. I'll think about hook options over the next few days but as long as the copyediting has been completed I can probably complete the review. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay in reviewing. The article meets requirements for newness and length, and I did not find any close paraphrasing. QPQ has been done and verified. All major statements in the article match the sources, and all hooks are mentioned in the article and verified in the sources. There is one statement in the article, however: the "thought to be the only orthodox Jewish football player in NCAA Division I" fact might change in the future, so the mention in the article may need a qualifier. I also note that one of the sources says he's the first known orthodox Jewish college football player, but given the recent brouhaha over "first" hooks it might be the safest option not to go with that. Some variation of ALT4 (I will leave the exact wording to the promoter) is probably the best option here as the most unusual or interesting; my original preference (ALT1) is unsuitable due to not being directly mentioned in the article, as well as not meeting the "unlikely to change" criterion. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: Good catch I attributed the statement Bruxton (talk) 04:21, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I think there should be no more issues here. The only approved option here is some variant of ALT4; I will leave it to the promoter on what wording to use, or whether to mention Salz by name in the hook. I do wonder if a hook that goes "that in 2023, the Atlanta Jewish Times suggested that Sam Salz is the only Orthodox Jewish player in NCAA Division I college football?" or even "that The Times of Israel suggests that Sam Salz may be college football's first known Orthodox Jewish player?", but given both are "first" or "only" hooks and thus are likely to be a whole can of worms, they're only food for thought and the nomination can proceed with ALT4 or some variant. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that he's an orthodox jew playing football is the story, so we'd be silly to shy away from mentioning that in the hook. I think we'd be OK with a "first" as long as we qualify it with "believed to be" or something to that effect. The Jewish Times says "Salz is believed to be the only Orthodox Jew to play Division I college football this season (if not, the first-ever)", which seems like an appropriate level of hedging. As for the 39-based hooks, I'm torn between the significance of 39 being lost on most of our readers vs piquing their interest ("what's so special about 39?") RoySmith (talk) 13:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elsewhere, Black Kite said:

"Suggests" and "known" and "may be" are really vague though, aren't they? You would have thought that given the ridiculous amount of statistical trivia about the game, there would be a definitive source.
I'm sure they keep all kinds of statistics about on-field performance, but I wouldn't expect they have data on the religious affiliation of every player. And even if they did, who's to say what an "Orthodox Jew" is? It's kind of a self-identify thing. RoySmith (talk) 19:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The issue here is all the recent brouhahas with "first" or "only" hooks and how much scrutiny they get. If we go with that angle, we want to be sure we're right and not have to have another long discussion about how we promoted a factual error, even if objectively this was the more interesting option.

@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:

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]

  • Was a draft until today so new enough and, as I now realise, also long enough. I can't see any problems in the article around copyvio, POV or OR. Sourcing looks good overall and the hook citations appear to be sound and reliable. The hook is certainly interesting because it caught my eye immediately when I was checking my own nomination. QPQ has been done. I think this is fine and it should be promoted. PearlyGigs (talk) 21:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Oppose this nomination: An article on this subject was deleted 7 months ago because of weak sourcing. 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. Wikipedia's job isn't to promote anti-vaxx conspiracy theories or other conspiracy theories, of which in my and other people's opinions, this is one. The only people claiming that ANYONE adheres to these multiple philosophies is Torres and Gebru. ---Avatar317(talk) 00:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I was aware when I did the DYK review that the article is about ideologies, but I don't consider the article to be promoting those ideologies because it is neutral. The subject, in my opinion, is notable. I can't say I'm knowledgeable about TESCREAL but the article does appear to be adequately sourced. 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. Incidentally, the lead is the primary location of the hook material and its two sources. Thanks. PearlyGigs (talk) 09:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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.

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]

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - 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: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes
  • Other problems: No - 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'm partial to the second hook but open to either hook being used depending on the final decision of the closing reviewer. --Sky Harbor (talk) 16:56, 10 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]

    @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.

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)

    • 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." [19]

Copyvio detector shows high percentages, but it's mostly due to long names of people and institutions. QPQ is not needed. Nice article, happy to approve it for dyk!

    Yes, because each reference is just covering a single program. I provided a representative sampling across time to demonstrate that it was a recurring program. There are many more of this kind.

I would use U.S. and not US as this is an American company and maybe shorten the hook to just Ol' Rip, leaving off the Horned Toad if the image is used. QPQ has been done.

    • 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. A QPQ has been done and I didn't find any close paraphrasing. Either hook can be used (both are cited inline and AGF on their verification and sourcing), although I do have a slight preference for ALT1.

    Thanks for the review! Give me a few minutes to find the book for ALT0 in my stacks. Be right back! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 02:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    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.)

    • Created July 3, not July 9, but as of the July 9 nomination date that was still current enough. Long enough and adequately sourced. QPQ done. 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 [21] does not appear to provide a current number. If we want to be cautious, we could say "approximately 25,000". I'll leave it up to the hook-builder, but other than that quibble this is good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • New enough, within policy, QPQ done. It contains a lot of quotes but by my count the prose section is just long enough. The hook is great (and unusually, kind of a summary of the article), and the facts in it supported by reliable sources (though I cannot access the article in The Atlantic it is AGF). No image.

    • Hi Clarityfiend, I also don't know how to include it post-nomination. I've had a look at it and it appears to me to be usable, i.e. no copyright restrictions, but it is a bit grainy and I'm not sure it would be a perfect fit for the main page in any case. But formally it should be OK, if someone more savvy can find a way to include it in the nomination. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 19:09, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • This looks an interesting article in a underrepresented field, worthy of being a DYK.
    • The article is new enough, having been promoted to GA on the same day as nomination, and long enough, with 669 words of readable prose. It is reliably sourced, free of copy violation and presentable, as confirmed by the GA review.
    • The hook is interesting and sourced. However, it is long at 190 characters, which is close to the limit for a DYK of 200 characters, with many wikilinks. I suggest reviewing this to make it more pithy and engaging, and seeking to include, at most, three wikilinks, including one to Suleiman of Germiyan.

    @Aintabli: Having reviewed one of your other articles for GA, I thought it would be interesting to undertake this DYK. Plesse take a look at my comments above and ping me when you would like me to look again. simongraham (talk) 12:13, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Alt1 ...that Suleiman of Germiyan allowed the Ottoman annexation of much of his territory to pay his daughter's dowry?

    That looks excellent. I believe this is ready to go, but would just like confirmation from a more experienced reviewer. simongraham (talk) 12:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Aintabli and Simongraham: Needs an end-of-sentence citation (and actually, spelling out the word 'annex' in the article wouldn't go amiss). Otherwise, nice work. (The GA in question simongraham refers to is Talk:Ali of Dulkadir/GA1, so his review doesn't fall foul of WP:DYKRR.)--Launchballer 15:19, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Launchballer: Thank you for the comment. I'm unsure what you meant by end-of-sentence citation, since I have already provided a source here. Sorry for the confusion. I have only a few DYK nominations, so this might be something obvious that I'm not getting at the moment. Aintabli (talk) 19:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Looking at it again, I guess you might have assumed this was a new piece of information, which is actually a shorter version of the first hook. I've added much of to the alternative hook when describing his territory that was annexed, because it sounds as if "all" of his territory was taken by the Ottomans. Otherwise, the article itself details what part of his territory was lost to the Ottomans as part of the dowry payment. Aintabli (talk) 19:15, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear.--Launchballer 14:22, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Launchballer: Okay, thank you. I have separately cited page 61 in the article, and changed the citation here to match that. (It was initially a range.) Aintabli (talk) 07:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article is sourced, the quality of the sources could be better, but I think they are good enough for DYK. I did three 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: The hook is short enough and it is "hooky". I think the only issue I have with it is that Renewable Energy World does not seem to be a quality source. I thus added a further cite to The Guardian where this fact is also referenced ("A ripple of excitement was felt in nearby Fulton county in 1978 when the partial skeleton of a hulking mastodon was discovered in a drainage ditch, exquisitely preserved in peat. It was this 10,000-year-old specimen that would give the Mammoth project its name"). This article also lists the project as the largest in the US ("When proposals for the largest solar plant ever conceived for US soil started to gather pace [...]"
    • Conclusion: I approve this nomination! Thank you for creating valuable free knowledge!) WatkynBassett (talk) 20:40, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • As a Good level article, this automatically passes several of the criteria, such as length and very obviously using in-line referencing properly and all of that. 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. I'm more partial to the first two than the third one, personally, as the most interesting. No QPQ needs to be done as this is your first nomination. Looks good to go!

    • I will take a look at this. simongraham (talk) 15:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • This looks good. The article is new enough (written on 17 July), long enough (3,786b of prose), has no copyright violations (Turnitin and Earwig report 0% likelihood) and seems well-sourced. The hook is quirky and I feel is interesting. Is there a reference for the assertion? Coonin 2018 p. 18 states that he "was probably not closely related to the famous Bardi family". simongraham (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Simongraham: We know Donatello's immediate family was not the Bardi bankers (Coonin p.17 establishes this I believe), and then Coonin p.18 says that it's not likely they were extended family, either, but distant - I suppose given the focus in that part of the article is on how intertwined the Bardi branches were or weren't, that's why I only cited p.18. But, yeah, we could add p.17 to the reference. Kingsif (talk) 23:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Expanded reference in article. Kingsif (talk) 22:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Kingsif: Does the hook need the caveat "probably" as per the source? simongraham (talk) 04:28, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Simongraham: I don't think the hook needs it; the source establishes his immediate family was not the famous bankers, which I would feel comfortable to say confirms that "he wasn't [one]". The sentence in the article about how distant that relation is, might warrant it, though other sources speak more firmly (e.g. [30]). Kingsif (talk) 11:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • 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? The wording could probably use some workshopping. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:01, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • ... that Apollo astronauts walked on walls (pictured) before walking on the Moon? Source: [31]: "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."

    Image eligibility:

    • Freely licensed: Yes
    • Used in article: Yes
    • Clear at 100px: No - I wonder if we should extract a cropped version of the photo for use in DYK just to remove the negative space around the people. We only get 100px here, so I think it might be worth it to zoom in a bit. Thoughts?
    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.

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. I have no other concerns about the article or the hook. Good work on "Blinking Sam", the three of y'all! :P ~ Tails Wx 19:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • 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]

    Well, this definitely won't lead to anyone freaking out when opening the Main Page. No, seriously, I love the original hook, and the other two are good backup alternatives if anyone wants to limit the surprise effect to more reasonable levels. Regarding the article, it's new enough, long enough, well-sourced enough and copyvio-free, and includes the content of ALT0 and ALT1. No WP:BLP (or should it be WP:BDH?) issues as far as I can see.
    Only one very esoteric thing to note: all horses are traditionally registered with a date of birth of "January 1st", even if they were born later in the year, so the article technically doesn't have the information that he died at age 20 beyond the age template (should {{Death date and age}} have a variant for horses?). Either way, that's pretty much a non-issue, and the DYK is approved! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    After a little more research, it looks like I was mistaken, and horse age is also calculated from January 1. So the information is enough to say that the horse was "20 years old" for horse purposes, even if it might not have lived 20 literal years.

    • 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]
