Hi KelpyGLover (talk), unfortunately this article is not eligible to appear in the Did You Know section of the main page. The eligibility criteria require that an article be newly created, recently expanded (by more than 5x in length) or recently promoted to WP:Good Article status. Please do bring any such articles here though, all the best - Dumelow (talk) 14:46, 9 February 2023 (UTC)- (edit conflict) I was going to post my own review, but conflicted with Dumelow above.

Hi KelpyGLover and welcome to the DYK process. Unfortunately, this article is ineligible for DYK because it hasn't been created, expanded fivefold, or promoted to Good Article status in the last seven days (in fact, it has barely been edited in the past month). Additionally, this page has several cleanup tags, which have to be resolved even if this page were new enough. As such, I will have to quick-fail this nomination. Please read Wikipedia:Did you know#Eligibility criteria so this does not happen in the future. Epicgenius (talk) 14:50, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Further, this would not be ready for a full review anyway. The hook is too short, misses the link to the article, and needs work on the English, as well as a reference that is not from Wikipedia (you must show an external source). If the article can be made quality, consider something like ... that Carpatho-Ukraine claimed independence as a country but survived less than a day? or ... that Carpatho-Ukraine survived less than a day after its proclamation of independence in 1939? Note that no country recognised C-U's existence as a separate entity, so we can't say that it was a country, only that someone tried to claim this status, before the Hungarian army crushed it (which process took 2-3 days in all, but it is probably reasonable to say that true claimed independence was just for <1 day). So three volunteers all reviewed at the same time - well, that's something. Actually, an interesting topic, if qualified. SeoR (talk) 14:53, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
