Instructions

Using a DYK suggestion string (see below examples), list new suggestions in the candidate entries section below under the date the article was created or the expansion began (not the date you submit it here), with the newest dates at the bottom. Any user may nominate a DYK suggestion; self-nominations are permitted and encouraged. Thanks for participating and please remember to check back for comments on your nomination. Every approved hook will appear on the main page.

How to list a new nomination

For a simplified version of these instructions, see User:Rjanag/Quick DYK.
For a step-by-step guide to filling out the {{NewDYKnom}} template, see Template:NewDYKnomination/guide.

Please use one of the strings below to post your DYK nomination, using the "author" and "nominator" fields to identify the users who should receive credit for their contributions if the hook is featured on the main page.

Nom without image: {{subst:NewDYKnom | article= | hook=... that ? | author= }}
Nom with image: {{subst:NewDYKnom | article= | hook=... that ? | author= | image= | caption= }}
To include more than one new or expanded article in a single hook: |article2= |article3= |article4= | (etc)

To include more than one author: |author2= |author3= | (etc)

To include alternate hooks: |ALT1= |ALT2= | (etc)

To add a comment: |comment=

To add the article you reviewed: |reviewed=

Do not wikilink the article title, or the author username field; the template will wikilink them automatically. Do wikilink the article title in the hook field, however.
Do not add a section heading if you are using the template; the template will add one for you.
Do not include a signature (~~~~) after the template.
Do not use non-free images in your hook suggestion.

An example of how to use the template is given below. Don't forget to fill out the rollover text, so people know what the image is of! Full details are at {{NewDYKnom}}:

{{subst:NewDYKnom
 | article    = Example
 | status     = new<!--(or)  expanded (or) BLP expanded-->
 | hook       = ... that this [[article]] is an  '''[[example]]''' ''(pictured)''?
 | author     = User
 | nominator  =
 | image      = Example.png
 | rollover   = An example image
 | alttext    = Description of the image
 | comment    =
 | reviewed   = Article you reviewed
}}

Note that you should only use one of the above templates for the original hook. If you want to suggest a second, alternative hook for the same article submission, just type it in manually. The above templates output useful code for each submission and if you employ them for alternative hooks, you will mess up the page formatting.
When saving your suggestion, please add the name of the suggested article to your edit summary.
Please check back for comments on your nomination. Responding to reasonable objections will help ensure that your article is listed.
If you nominate someone else's article, you can use {{subst:DYKNom}} to notify them. Usage: {{subst:DYKNom|Article name}}

How to review a nomination

Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets all the DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the additional rules.

If you want to confirm that an article is ready to be placed on a later update, or note that there is an issue with the article or hook, please use the following symbols to point the issues out:

Code	DYK Ready?	Description
{{subst:DYKtick}}	Yes	No problems, ready for DYK
{{subst:DYKtickAGF}}	Yes	Article is ready for DYK, with a foreign-language or offline hook reference accepted in good faith
{{subst:DYK?}}	Query	DYK eligibility requires that an issue be addressed. Notify nominator with `{{subst:DYKproblem\|Article}}`
{{subst:DYK?no}}	Maybe	DYK eligibility requires additional work. Notify nominator with `{{subst:DYKproblem\|Article}}`
{{subst:DYKno}}	No	Article is either completely ineligible, or else requires considerable work before becoming eligible

Please consider using {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page, in case they do not notice that there is an issue.

Backlogged?

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first (so that those hooks don't grow stale), it may take several days until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see instructions above).

Where is my hook?

If you can't find the hook you submitted to this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is in the queue for display on the main page. You can check whether your hook has been moved to the queue by reviewing the queue listings.

If your hook is not in the queue or already on the main page, it has probably been deleted. Deletion occurs if the hook is more than about eight days old and has unresolved issues for which any discussion has gone stale. If you think your hook has been unfairly deleted, you can query its deletion on the discussion page, but as a general rule deleted hooks will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

Batman River

... that the air base of Batman was used for rescue operations during the Gulf War?[1]

Comment: ALT1 ... that the largest oil field in Turkey lies in the Batman Province, near the Batman River? [2]

We've got 4 expanded Batman articles (city, province, river and oil field). They could be squeezed into one hook, but it would be ugly, thus maybe 2-3 hoooks. Please suggest other alts (articles can be shuffled between various hook combinations). Maybe its better to drop the river from ALT1. The "near" part can be verified using this map and Google maps - it is just some 6 km away. Materialscientist (talk) 10:10, 12 February 2011 (UTC) Created/expanded by Materialscientist (talk). Self nom at 10:10, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some possible April Fools' Day hooks. 2 is for the province, 3 is the river, and 4 is the city. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 18:59, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2 ... that Batman is half female?
ALT3 ... ~~that Batman killed 11 people in 2006?~~

Thanks and sorry - the source is unclear whether it was Batman or its tributary or both. Materialscientist (talk) 00:27, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ALT4 ... that Batman was in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines?
The source for ALT4 is a bit shaky (IMDB). Reviewed Lauritz Weidemann. Materialscientist (talk) 12:17, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alt5... may be something like Batman helped save people during the Gulf War? Victuallers (talk) 13:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1st April is a possibility, but there are 4 articles in here, only some can go there. Materialscientist (talk) 13:12, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is the fourth article? Can you propose a hook with all four. I think that would be best. I like ALT1 above and encourage a similar 4 in 1.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Batman Province, capital, river and oil field (look at the credits inside this section). I don't think piling them up (.. that a field lies near the city and river, in the Batman province, and is the largest in Turkey) would work. Materialscientist (talk) 22:43, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It could work depending on the hook. However, I don't see an individual hook for the article this nomination was originally intended to promote.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See top two hooks. The rest is not mine. Materialscientist (talk) 22:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should probably be decided pretty soon if an April Fools' hook should be used and if so, which one. I assume only one would be used. Then hook(s) can be determined for the remaining articles. Here's one more possibility, for the river.... MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 03:55, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
ALT6 ... that Batman's previous identity was Nymphius?

I like ALT1. Batı Raman oil field, Batman Province, and Batman River all are valid 5x expansions. I have been thumbing through various refs and do not see a ref saying the oil field is in the Province or near the River although I see refs saying it is in Southeast Turkey.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:37, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. There is also the city. For location see the map on the second page of this pdf (linked above). It shows the field near the city, unfortunately without a length scale, but the distance is few km as can be verified with Google maps (also linked above, it also shows that the Batman River flows outside the city, but this can be verified through some refs too). Materialscientist (talk) 05:03, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 (revised) ... that the largest oil field in Turkey lies in the Batman Province, near the Batman River as well as Batman, Turkey?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:41, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you are looking for credit for the city, the ALT 1 (revised) would be the proper form. So I will consider that. However, regarding the issue at hand. You need to point me to references used in the article that support the claim made in the hook. Each article will need to include a reference establishing its validity in the hook. Don't just present links. Adjust the articles as necessary or present another hook for review.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:41, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Batman, Turkey is also a valid 5x expansion.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:49, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking not for credit, but for an interesting hook. My thought was to have two: 1 quirky with Batman city and another more plain with 3 other articles. I am not happy with ALT1a because it squeezes too much into one hook - I would rather abandon some articles but make it better. I have not seen any objection against my top two hooks; both are referenced, above and in the article(s). I am open to quirky April 1 suggestions, like ALT5 and would welcome some help with this stuck nom. Materialscientist (talk) 04:53, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ALT for April Fool's "... that the Batman is dammed? Clarityfiend (talk) 23:40, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I continue to feel that the sourcing for the location within the article is unclear. The sources say it is in the Southeastern Anatolia Region, but we have no source saying it is in Batman or the Batman Province is in the region. P.S. ALT1 (revised) could be altered to remove any indivual hook you want to use separately.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:11, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you were looking at the first paragraph of Batı Raman oil field whereas the location is (and was) described and referenced in the second. I've added river there for completeness. Materialscientist (talk) 03:25, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok guys. Promoting this is way overdue. If no useable hook is found in the next day, it's time to pass on this one.4meter4 (talk) 12:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason not to promote this. All the issues raised are either really non-issues or have now been addressed. I support moving Alt-2 to April Fools (excellent hook) and reworking Alt-1 to omit that article.

Alt1a (2nd revision) ... that the largest oil field in Turkey lies near Batman, Turkey and the Batman River?

Date, length OK. However, some paragraphs lack inline citations. I also don't see the hook fact stated explicitly in the text, though that may be because I don't understand the terminology. I wonder what you think of this alt:

Yesterday the image was removed from the article, so I removed it here. Glad you like the alt. However, the article still lacks inline citations on some paragraphs. Yoninah (talk) 10:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify (I didn't make this nomination, but fine), Anne Sharp played the smaller part of Cis in Albert Herring in the premiere, but switched to playing Emmie after only a few performances. She is Emmie in the recording. So it is correct to say she was in both the premiere and the recording (which was a live recording of a performance), but she had different roles. That recording has most of the original cast in it. Morag Kerr (talk) 14:52, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About the photo. I do not understand why it was deleted. It is a photo which appeared in opera programmes - the little biographies of the cast they have at the back, which are accompanied by photos. I'm not even sure it's "non-free content", but I was trying to be as correct as possible by crediting the photographer. Morag Kerr (talk) 14:52, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks... but this is DYK and not AFD. The National Screen Institute is a government-affiliated non-profit organization. The applicable guideline for such a boring topic begins with ""An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." So this non-profit organization has its "notability" found through the numerous secondary independent sources that have addressed this organization and its programs directly and in boring detail for nearly 26 years. A succinct stub would need only state "This organization was founded to assist Canadian filmmakers"... but that one sentence is pretty useless in increasing a reader's understanding of the topic... and I was careful to avoid all hype and describe as boringly and dryly as possible, the programs it uses to assist filmmakers.

You cite ~~three~~ ~~four~~ five! sources that contradict or question its authorship (Giancarlo says it is "supposedly" by him and refers to the poet as "Edward" in scare quotes, hardly a ringing endorsement), and only one that says it is by Edward - and that source happens to be its publisher. Could you add more citations to say that it is by him? You also need a cite for your hook statement, ie. "No other poems of Edward survive."

I'm not sure this hook (or the article) really captures the meaning in the reference. It states that Morrison's work on Umbelliferae "was the first monograph of a definite group of plants, and is remarkable for the sense of relationship between the genera that inspires it". I get quite a different impression from "the first person to describe a specific group of plants". In botanical language, to describe a taxon is quite different from monographing it. I would suggest changing both to quoting the citation directly, and state that 'Morrison produced the "first monograph of a definite group of plants"'. --Stemonitis (talk) 06:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to be a pain about this, but do you have a page number for the second part, that it established the basis for all later plant classification? It is not directly cited, and your Linnaeus quote seems to contradict it, in that "Morison ... revived system which was half expiring" and "All that is good in Morison is taken from Cesalpino", suggesting that Morrison's role was not so great. Is it perhaps enough to state that:

ALT3 ... that in 1672, the Scottish botanist Robert Morison wrote the "first monograph of a specific group of plants", the Umbelliferae?

Regarding the nominated article, the article looks like a fine contribution, but it sports a "globalize" template right now, and in reviewing the article I had some other concerns.

Starting with the lead, I think the statement "The majority of states in the U.S. have laws requiring children under the age of sixteen to wear helmets" is inaccurate, since the article indicates that fewer than half of the states have such laws, although there are local laws in some of the states. That should be revised to state that (for example) 22 U.S. states have these laws and some municipalities and counties in other states also have them.

Excellent phrasing, now used. Thanks! NebY (talk) 15:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the article has too many direct quotations when the quoted content is simply a statement of a fact. For example, it should be able to present the hook fact without surrounding it with quotation marks.
I've slightly rephrased that sentence though much of it is a list so can't really be rephrased. I have proposed an alternate hook below based on the new version of the sentence. I'll suggest to the primary author that she rephrase some of the other quotes too. Mike Christie (talk – library) 14:43, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? This seems rather restrictive reading of the rules. In fact, half of the current set of DYKs on the homepage have body paragraphs without citations. My understanding is that the rules require that the hook's claims must be backed by inline citations, and I believe that is the case with this article (ref #10), and that the article generally conform to core policy, which this article again seems to do. The article is really rather well sourced. Certainly I don't see any unsourced or poorly referenced negative material, which the rules specifically prohibit. In any case, seeing as the goal here is to improve articles and not quibble over rules, I have improved the referencing in the article to ensure that every paragraph has at least one citation.

I apologize for the confusion, but I did have a cite right after the quote that hook is using (and I noted in my comment above which source was use to facilitate any reviewing). Also, considering that it is an online source, I'm not sure why this needed an AGF tick? To my knowledge, the Decanter article is not even behind a paywall.

What's the point of the AGF tick? I assumed it was meant for cases in which the article had one or more sources that weren't available to the reviewer; I used it because you have a couple of print sources. As well, I'm not complaining about the hook citation: I'm talking about citations 1 and 3 being used adjacent to each other after "Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Les Cailloux." Sorry for causing confusion. Nyttend (talk) 05:01, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Typically the AGF hook is used when you can't personally verify the sources relating to the hook (since that is what is being featured on the main page). But again, in the grand scheme, it is no big deal. :) As for the confusion about FN#1 and FN#3 next to each other at the end of lead, I did that because FN#1 is an offline book source which covers the entire paragraph while FN#3 is an online source that corroborates several of the details in that paragraph (organic vit, extended maceration, 100s of clients, his influence, work with Chapoutier and Chateau Fortia, etc). I had an idea for a potential hook (which I ultimately didn't use) and wanted to make sure that I had a secondary online ref to assist in verification if I used it. While FN#1 covered it all, having a secondary online ref can be useful. But again, it's alright :) I appreciate you taking the time to review my nom.

Size and date are fine. However, the hook is unreferenced. There is a reference at the end of a paragraph containing the hook, several sentences in - this is unsatisfactory. Ideally, each sentence should be referenced; at the very least - the hook one should be. The problem is fixable, and once this is solved the article should be a "go" for DYKing. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 05:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please see references nos. 1 and 2. All paragraphs are referenced. It'll be pretty hard to read that thing when every sentence, even the hook, has a citation. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 05:57, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why. On the other hand, in the case only a para has a ref, it is impossible to trust anything but the last sentence. Consider what will happen when somebody adds more content to the middle, or moves the current one around. I don't think an article with any unreferenced sentence can become a FA, and GA and DYKs require them for most sentences those days, too. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 07:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You see, that only works if each sentence has a different reference than the previous one (such as FAs and some GAs). If I'd be reusing those two references on every sentence, it's repetitive and unsightly. Where's the DYK rule that every sentence has to be cited? The only relevant rule is rule D2 and it doesn't mention citing every sentence, especially if the entire paragraph is referenced on that/those reference/s.–HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 07:30, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the heck of it, I did just that, citing every sentence in the first section, and it now looks unsightly with those repetitive ^[1][2] after every sentence. I know we should be citing and stuff, but this is not the way to do it if there are only a few references. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 07:35, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If the article meets DYK criteria, suggest moving it to Special Occasions section and keeping for Halloween. The authors of the paper on which this article is substantially based have stated that they intend to publish a separate paper on the tadpoles of this species so the move would also allow time for any material from this paper (assuming it is published in time) to be incorporated.

That's confirmed. I agree that this should be kept for Halloween, especially as "A detailed description of the new tadpole will be published separately." which might be available by October.
