Instructions

List new suggestions here, under the date the article was created or expanded (not the date you submit it here), with the newest dates at the top. If a suitable image is available, place it immediately before the suggestion. Any user may nominate a DYK suggestion; self-nominations are permitted and encouraged.

Remember:

  • Proposed articles should:
    • not be marked as stubs;
    • contain more than 1,500 characters (around 1.5 kilobytes) in main body text (ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, and tables). This is a mandatory minimum; in practice, articles longer than 1,500 characters may still be rejected as too short, at the discretion of the selecting administrators.
    • cite their sources (these sources should be properly labelled; that is, not under an "External links" header); and
    • be no more than five days old (former redirects, stubs, or other short articles that have been expanded fivefold or more within the last five days are acceptable).
  • Articles on living individuals must be carefully checked to ensure that no unsourced or poorly sourced negative material is included. Articles and hooks which focus on negative aspects of living individuals should be avoided.
  • Articles with good references and citations are preferred.
  • To count the number of characters in a piece of text, you will need to use a free website like this, or an external software program that has a character-counting feature. For example, if you are using Microsoft Word, select the text from the article page (or, in the case of "Did you know" nominations, this Talk page) – not the edit page containing Wikitext – then copy and paste it into a blank document. Click "Tools" ("Review" in Office 2007), then "Word Count", and note the "Characters (with spaces)" figure. Other word processing programs may have a similar feature. (The character counts indicated on "Revision history" pages are not accurate for DYK purposes as they include categories, infoboxes and similar text in articles, and comments and signatures in hooks on this page.)
  • Suggested facts (the 'hook') should be:
    • interesting to draw in a variety of readers,
    • short and concise (fewer than about 200 characters, including spaces),
    • neutral,
    • definite facts that are mentioned in the article, and
    • preferably cited in the article with an inline citation.
  • Suggested pictures should be:
    • suitably and freely (PD, GFDL, CC etc) licensed (NOT fair use) because the main page can only have freely-licensed pictures;
    • attractive and interesting, even at a very small (100px-wide) resolution;
    • already in the article; and
    • relevant to the article.
    • formatted as [[Image:image name |right|100x100px| Description]] and placed directly above the suggested fact.
  • Proposed lists should have two characteristics to be considered for DYK: (i) be a compilation of entries that are unlikely to have ever been compiled anywhere else (e.g. List of architectural vaults), and (ii) have 1,500+ character non-stub text that brings out interesting, relational, and referenced facts from the compiled list that may not otherwise be obvious but for the compilation.
  • Please sign the nomination, giving due credit to other editors if relevant. For example:
    • *... that (text)? -- new article by [[User]]; Nom by ~~~~
    • *... that (text)? -- new article self-nom by ~~~~
    • *... that (text)? -- new article by [[User]] and ~~~~
    • *... that (text)? -- Article expanded fivefold by [[User]]; Nom by ~~~~
    • *... that (text)? -- Article expanded fivefold and self-nom by ~~~~
    • *... that (text)? -- Article expanded fivefold by [[User]] and ~~~~
  • 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|June 13}} Thanks, ~~~~
  • If you want to confirm that an article is ready to be placed on a later update, or that there is an issue with the article or hook, you may use the following symbols (optional) to point the issues out:
Symbol Code Ready for DYK? Description
[[Image:Symbol confirmed.svg|18px]] Yes No problems, ready for DYK
[[Image:Symbol question.svg|18px]] Query An issue needs to be clarified before the article's eligibility can be determined
[[Image:Symbol possible vote.svg|18px]] Maybe Article is currently ineligible but may only need some minor work to fix.
[[Image:Symbol delete vote.svg|18px]] No Article is either completely ineligible, or else requires considerable work before becoming eligible

Backlogged?

This page often seems to be backlogged. If the DYK template has not been updated for substantially more than 6 hours, it may be useful to attract the attention of one of the administrators who regularly updates the template. See the page Wikipedia:Did you know/Admins for a list of administrators who have volunteered to help with this project.

But the article states 'It is believed to be the only bridge on Earth that begins and ends in the same county, crosses over two rivers (Green River and the Rough River, and passes over an entirely different county.' - implying the bridge is unique because it crosses all of these different things. At most it can only be said to claim that "'It is believed to be the only bridge in the world that starts and ends in the same county" - Benea (talk) 22:30, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could we change the hook to read "it is probably the only bridge in the world..."? I'm not sure if hooks can be like that, but if it is allowed, I think it would be really cool to put that on the Main Page because I'm sure a lot of people would read it. Thingg⊕⊗ 22:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I assume its the Woodhouse Grove School, but it doesn't look like this is a five-fold expansion within the last five days. BuddingJournalist 19:38, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It does appear to be the Woodhouse article. I think it's skirting the edge of the 5-day rule (21stCenturyGreenstuff's edits to this article began on May 9th, but he really only reached 5x expansion today). However, the hook used here is poorly worded and uninteresting. It presents no unique factoid other than saying exactly what the school is. The359 (talk) 21:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

          • Hi, the hook is spread out over several sentences in the article - I think it would be better for the hook to be put almost as it is in the article? Also, generally it should be cited immediately after the . (full stop) of the sentence.
          • BG7 17:38, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
              • Hi. Here is the sentence with the hook. It appears as the first paragraph in the section "stellate plan" - The temple is based on a 24-pointed uninterrupted stellate plan (star shaped) and uses soapstone as its basic building material.[4] Contemporary stellate plans in central India from where the inspiration for this temple came from, were all 32-pointed interrupted types. No temples of the 6-, 12-, or 24-pointed stellate plans are known to exist anywhere in India, with the exception of the Doddabasappa temple, which can be described as a 24-pointed uninterrupted plan.[4] Could you tell me how you want it re-worded Or do you expect this in the LEAD? thanks. Dineshkannambadi (talk) 21:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
                  • I think writing the hook the way the design is described in the para above would complicate the hook.thanks.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 23:14, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked up Detroit Red Wings seasons. The Cougars played 44 games per season for 4 seasons, but Adams wasn't the coach for the first season. In three seasons, he coached 132 (3x44) games. The Falcons have even fewer total games played at 92 (44+48). Most of the 900+ games coached by Adams were actually Red Wings games. So, "over 900 games for both the Detroit Cougars and Detroit Falcons" seems rather misleading. --PFHLai (talk) 23:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue that, since the majority of Poe's work is comedy or adventure, adding Poe isn't necessarily dreary but, then again, I've read his full collection. I was hesitant to add the Poe connection because, well, there have been too many Poe DYKs (I wonder whose fault that is?). Even so, here's the alternative:

    • ... that the New York Times wrote that W. S.

This article's hook is unsourced or too long or there are other content issues Again a hook writes a check the article can't cash. The article and source confirms that he gave away a lot of his work, but says nothing about "dying in poverty". So how about:
...that landscape painter Frank Reaugh kept a lifelong vow to always live in Texas after moving there from Illinois? Daniel Case (talk) 14:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
