  • The article is new enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. I did not find any close paraphrasing and a QPQ has been provided. I'm only approving the first hook as the second hook is less interesting and more complicated; it is a "first" hook, but the sourcing required for the claim isn't exceptional and so it should be acceptable in this case. My only sticking point is that the Embassy isn't reopening until next year, so I'm not sure if the hook should instead say "was", but I'll leave it to the promoter to decide.

Matthew Webb

  • Source: Seccombe, Thomas (1899). "Webb, Matthew" . In Lee, Sidney (ed.). Dictionary of National Biography. Vol. 60. London: Smith, Elder & Co. p. 105: "At the beginning of August 1875 public interest was greatly aroused by the announcement that Webb intended to attempt the feat of swimming across the English Channel without any artificial aid. The attempt made by J. B. Johnson to swim the straits in August 1872 had ended in a fiasco. On 28 May 1875 Captain Paul Boyton, the American life-saving expert, had, after one failure, successfully accomplished the feat of paddling across the Straits when clothed in his patent dress; but although the journey demonstrated the great value of the dress, the paddle in itself was mere child's play in comparison with the task which Webb set himself to accomplish. His first attempt on 12 Aug. was a failure, owing to the fact that he drifted upwards of nine miles out of his proper course in consequence of the strong current and the stress of weather. Twelve days later he dived from the Admiralty Pier, Dover, a few seconds before one o'clock in the afternoon (31/4 hours before high water on a 15 ft. 10 in. tide), and swimming through the night by a three-quarter moon reached Calais at 10.40 A.M. next morning (25 Aug.), having been immersed for nearly twenty-two hours, and having swum a distance of about forty miles without having touched a boat or artificial support of any kind."

  • Article is long, new, and presentable enough, and as well-cited as a figure this obscure can be. The hook cites a reliable source and is quite interesting, as "board game designer" was an extremely rare profession in 1908, and dramatically more so for a single 57-year-old woman. I might like it if the hook included both game names, though — perhaps "... that L'Attaque, the board game that became Stratego, was patented in 1908 by a 57-year-old woman?"

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: Yes
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: No - Just a little close paraphrasing to clean up: The centre found a permanent home in 1992 in a converted railway arch in Peckham is a little too similar to the source wording ...in 1992 the BLGC finally found a permanent home in a converted railway arch in Peckham, South London in my opinion.

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - Very minor wording issue with ALT0 - the source says they "supported" the boycott, the article says they "organised" it, and the hook says they "joined" it. I think all instances should reflect the wording in the source as these three can mean different things.
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: A cite for the one cn tag would be good but I won't hold this up just for that. Earwig looks good apart from the close paraphrasing noted above (basically all of the other similarity is a direct quote, which is attributed and cited. QPQ is good as well.

In spite of Agius’s claims for her character and sanctity, Hathumoda comes across as so human in the VH, in her anxiety and even her occasional petulance, that she fails to live up to the expectations of sanctity established by more traditional hagiographies."

Overall: Hi Gerda Arendt, happy to do the DYK review. The article has a readable prose size of 4310 characters. It was created yesterday. Every paragraph in the body of the article is sourced. WP:EARWIG shows no copyright problems. QPQ has not yet been done. I have a minor quibble about the hook: it seems to me that it tries to convey too many individual facts. What about something simpler like

or

Thank you for reviewing, and the suggestions. I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Mind. I believe that the one thing fascinating "Maestro Berio" (as he is called by the cellist) as well as the ordinary Main page reader is this drumming. We can rather do without the series if it's really too much. I can also imagine to improve the series article to make it a double hook. ALT1 is no option for me because some kind of reverence for the cellist (and drummer) was the motivation to write the article. Making him GA seemed harder ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah I see. If we want to go without the series, we could use something like
ALT3: ...that Sequenza XIV for solo cello by Luciano Berio was inspired by the childhood experiences of cellist Rohan de Saram with Kandyan drumming?
But I think your original suggestion also meets the DYK requirements so the decision may be more a matter of taste. Approved. Phlsph7(talk) 07:57, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I think that ALT3 is a bit smallish, - the childhood drumming is just part of the inspiration, the playing of one of the most inspiring cellists of all times should not be left out completely ;) - I learned of his death from a friend who is a cellist, and felt his enthusiasm remembering a live concert of Xenakis. Berio knew why he added to a series that had already been considered complete ("complete" recording in 1995), - it's an outstanding piece in every respect and deserves a little longer hook, imho. We can't use any of the pics, sadly, because de Saram's is not free, and Berio's is way too young for one of his last works. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One last alternative if we want to go for the full package: what do you think about the following, a version of ALT0 copy-edited only for better flow:
ALT0a: ... that Sequenza XIV for solo cello by Luciano Berio, completed in 2002 as the last work in a series begun in 1958, was inspired by Rohan de Saram's artistry, including traditional Kandyan drumming?

Would ALT4 be better? I also thought something along the lines of the mind being in pursuit of understanding itself but not sure if that would be supported by the sources. I also think this image would work well.Polyamorph (talk) 07:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Polyamorph and thanks for your suggestions. I think ALT4 would also work as an alternative to ALT2. We would probably have to remove the word "scientific" since it is not clear whether philosophy qualifies as a science:
ALT4a: ...that the mind is studied through various fields of inquiry, including psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy?
I slightly prefer ALT2 since it uses active voice and is a little shorter, but I would also be fine with ALT4a.
I agree about the image. If there is a free image slot in the queue, it could be used. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:13, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, no worries, ALT2 is fine. I think this deserves to have the top slot! Polyamorph (talk) 08:16, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also believe that ALT2 is fine. The image is licensed. However, I personally feel that it tries to illustrate the capacities of the mind and fails - at least for me, can't see "though" and "action" at a glance. But that may be just me. If you want to use that image, you will need some form of saying (pictured) in ALT2a to come. Good luck with that, I'll watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:25, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the picture, we could use
ALT2a: ...that diverse fields study the mind (pictured), including psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy?
You are right that it's difficult to illustrate an abstract concept such as the mind. Using a light bulb as a symbol of thought or a hammer in hand as a symbol of action is not that uncommon but how easily people understand these symbols may depend on their cultural background. The image is not essential to the hook so if there are doubts, we could also go without it. Phlsph7 (talk) 11:39, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article is well-sourced, long enough, new enough. There are a few grammatical mistakes, but they can be easily corrected. It's a good hook in principle, but needs to be rephrased. Maybe something like: she started as both a goalkeeper and right-back in the 1972 season? Cardofk (talk) 08:10, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's funny, because that is what I thought when I read the hook, that she played both at the same time. Cardofk (talk) 07:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC) Please understand that as the audience, all I have are the words on the screen and not the information behind them. While it may appear to make perfect sense to the author, to the audience small meanings matter. All I wanted to do was help and I did say "something like". Cardofk (talk) 09:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Perhaps it's a terminology issue, then, as "starting goalkeeper" means first-choice goalkeeper, but without effectively insulting the other options. If you think first-choice will be better understood by a wider audience, we should go with that. And maybe there's other word issues, because several of your in-article substitutions (word choices aren't grammar, BTW) are using words that are not synonyms and are thereby obfuscating meaning, please stop. Kingsif (talk) 21:22, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Never mind, I've read/translated the source material, it doesn't explain why she played there. With such a brief match report, you've done your best to get a hook out of it. Cardofk (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Cardofk: Absolutely don't worry, trying to get stuck in yourself ;) Being pretty familiar with the players and team, I can say that Llansà had previously (as the article mentions) played in defense at least once, and that teams at the time weren't robust enough that they always had enough players. This is when position shenanigans usually happened. Llansà was the best goalkeeper they had, but if the team didn't have enough defenders and she was so much a better defender than the second choice goalkeeper, balancing the squad is probably the reason. More recent sources are more in-depth, but maybe too fluffy for me personally to want to use for a hook. Kingsif (talk) 21:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Date, length, hook, QPQ, close paraphrase check checks out. Image free on Commons (albeit not great quality). --Soman (talk) 13:44, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Soman and Gerda Arendt: a couple of things. Firstly, on English terminology: notwithstanding the direct translation of "Feldkapelle", a "chapel" in English is usually a room in a larger building. I would instead call this a "shrine" or similar.
      Secondly, on WP:DYKINT: perhaps we could trim the bits about his various jobs and focus on the chapel? To me, it is interesting that it is now a hiking destination, or that a ceremony has been held on the same feast day since 1984, the day of its consecration. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 08:58, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    learning English: this is the first time I hear that chapel has a different meaning from Kapelle. We could do nothing, relying on "usually". We could use the original Feldkapelle, which would clarify better that it is in nature (which the image shows - open to the front) but not clearly. "Shrine" tells me that there are some relics, such as those of Hildegard of Bingen in the village church of Eibingen (not the abbey). Wrong? - As for shortening: yes we could stop right after Gotteslob which speaks of responsibility for the common German-language hymnal (for German-language countries that is), far beyond the Würzburg diocese, and far far beyond some little open space in the fields. I only picked it because of the image, and because he loved Mary as well as church music. Yes, there was one piece to Mary sung in the Requiem, but the heavy weight was on Mozart's Requiem. - Just today I remember a 10-years-old hook about Mela Tenenbaum, and am happy that it says something about geography in her life and dedication of music to her, and not just that she played a piece with an unusual instrumentation, or just that she played on Queen Elizabeth 2. Happy also to have mentioned Ukraine in 2014. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:21, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, perhaps using the original Feldkapelle would be best. The image is also rather low-quality and probably shouldn't be used. With that in mind, I'm rather struck by his work on confirmations—including the 500 in Tanzania. If he considered that work his prime duty, he'd probably prefer a hook on it—and you get something about geography in his life too. What do you think? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I will review this. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Approve ALT0. Interesting article. New enough (submitted on day of creation); long enough (4176 characters). Has multiple sources in English, appears BLP-compliant. (Small nit is that "Anonymous" is non-standard for references; if you can't find a byline, just leave it out, especially if you're citing a newspaper article. The one exception I might make is if someone went out of their way to use "Anonymous" as their byline.) Reads neutral; the large number of direct quotes makes it read a bit like a magazine article rather than an encyclopedia entry, but this isn't a show-stopper either, as the quotes appear to appropriately cite their sources. Spot check suggests copyright violation is not a problem. The single boldlinked article looks presentable. QPQ is done. There is no photo. This leaves the hooks. Strongly prefer and approve ALT0 which is interesting and cites a reliable source. Striking ALT1 on the basis that it's not that interesting (lots of people do things like that for charity) and it assumes readers know who Mark DeCarlo is. Other general comments: Is it worth explaining what some of those Japanese terms in the article mean? Not everyone wants to leave the article while reading it to click on the wikilinks.
