  • Article was moved into mainspace on December 2 and was nominated on December 3, making it new enough. It is long enough, and is cited throughout to reliable sources. No copyright violation detected, and I'm assuming good faith that it isn't a close paraphrase of the many foreign language references used. Hook fact is interesting, a good length, and verifiable to the article, but the source is cited one sentence beyond the hook fact. This is a minor problem, but there must be an end-of-sentence citation directly after the quote. This will mean repeating a citation, but we do have to have it there in order to approve the hook per policy at WP:DYKHFC. Once this minor issue is fixed, please ping me and I will approve the hook.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - The article gives the time of the kidnapping as June 15, 1933, at 12:15 p.m., but the cited source gives the time that Hamm was last sean as 12:20. Can you explaim where the 12:15 time comes from?
  • Neutral: No - The article currently states in WP:WIKIVOICE that Hamm married Dorothy Heywood on October 1, 1927, which is supported by the second cited source. However, the first cited source gives the marriage as having been in November 1927. Unless there is a very good reason for rejecting one source in favor of the other, we should probably not be so definite in the article. Can you explain a bit about this editorial choice?
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Not much to add to the above, though it's possible I missed something in my spot checks. Generally quite an interesting read. I prefer hook Alt2, as it has his name and mentions the silver nitrate; this is a biography, not an article on the event that is his kidnapping. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:41, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although technically the nom doesn't require a QPQ since you aren't the nominator, if you're going to do QPQs, just note that DYK is currently in backlog mode, meaning people with over 20 nominations will need to do two reviews instead of one. I think you still have less than 20 nominations so this doesn't apply to you so for now you only need to do just one review and not two, it's just something to keep in mind in case you get affected in the future. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:14, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On first inspection, the article looks good. The only issue I have is that there's a few uncited sentences near the end of the first paragraph of the summary section; I've left a CN tag there. I'm definitely thinking the originally proposed blurb about the water tower is the best one; claim is verified in the article from this non-political Fox News source, the hook is short and interesting, no QPQ needed, Earwig shows no copyvio concern. My other minor issue is the status of the main image in the infobox - it's up for deletion on Commons, but this can feasibly be re-added as NFC later on if it's removed. I'd advise against using the image provided as it doesn't really illustrate the water tower or any of the other hooks, though. Almost there. Departure– (talk) 16:36, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting article about a play with a title like a women's magazine and a cover picture to match, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. As the hook seems to be what you want to say, I approve it. - A few suggestions for the article, and in general:
  • Don't have any pic next to the Roles table. It may look fine on large devices but on smaller ones it shrinks the table to many lines for each item.
  • Don't have any image size larger than upright=1.3, because more can't be displayed (any larger) on mobile devices.
  • In the plot, say once more that Victoria is that widow, - not all readers read sequentially, and her name is not even in the lead, just the image caption.
  • You will guess what I'd suggest in order to avoid the impression that the article is about a woman ;)

Apologies for not having realised about DYKFICTION - happy to help workshop a new hook Chaiten1 (talk) 14:22, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are we really applying DYKFICTION to mythology and legends now? I get the idea but that doesn't seem to follow the spirit of the guideline as originally proposed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 05:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per the discussion on the talk page, IMO, this interpretation of DYKFICTION is a minority one and should not block the hook lest it become a naysayer's veto. The hook reads fine to me. DYKFICTION is about "creative works", i.e. novels or the like. Citing serious, scholarly mythology sources like Brill's New Paulys about the nature of mythology or folklore is not fiction.

  • The article was nominated within a week of its creation and is well over the minimum character requirement. Every claim is sourced, and the copyvio detector didn't come up with any violations. The first hook is straight to the point, interesting, and well-sourced; I don't think the second hook could work, as it relies on a present tense construction in order for "Noah" to land. The article has no images to check. As noted above, QPQs have been completed promptly. Ultimately, there are no problems with the nomination. It should be good to go! Thank you for your work. Phibeatrice (talk) 07:45, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Phibeatrice: Thank you for your review, I really appreciate it! Do you think the second hook would work if it was rephrased as "Did you know... that the Eastern Michigan Eagles "Noah guy" who will play linebacker for them in 2025?". I think the pun aspect is amusing and is able to both accurately quote the team's social media announcement of his signing and provide a tame alternative to (and maneuver away from) what would otherwise be a more eyebrow-raising pun that could be made here. Soulbust (talk) 08:07, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Soulbust: I think that could work—I just went through a bunch of archived DYKs and found that sometimes a present-tense construction makes it through as long as it makes sense time-wise. In your case, this hook would simply have to run before Noah arrives on the team, which wouldn't be hard to do at all! I still think the first hook is more unique and engaging—as someone who has been aware of Noah for a while mostly due to his last name—but the pun is fun and would still encourage people to click to his page while being, of course, tamer. I'll say here, for anyone preparing the hooks later, that both hooks should work. Phibeatrice (talk) 16:22, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article is new, and long enough; it is an interesting bio of a person about whom there is nothing written in English. It is well written, neutral, and sourced to a series of Russian-language texts which are not acessible so AGF on these. QPQs have been done. ALT0 is very close, and perhaps just needs a little rewording: 'the paramedic student' - is the 'paramedic' part needed in the hook? The words 'fonts' is perhaps not quite the right word (both in the hook and article) - do you mean printing materials? or printers blocks? and did Weisman set up a 'printing house' or just a 'printing press'? @Soman:Chaiten1 (talk) 18:30, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per Font, "In a manual printing (letterpress) house the word "font" would refer to a complete set of metal type that would be used to typeset an entire page." Priting house is the term used for the Bolshevik underground, see for example Nina Printing House. 'Paramedic' is not absolutely necessary for the hook, but gives a bit more detail. --Soman (talk) 00:31, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria -- recently expanded 5x. No concerns with length, tone, or neutrality. Earwig shows no copyvio. No problems with overall sourcing -- sourced to a couple of databases and a couple of obituaries. All good there.

Have two questions re: the hook. I think I understand the gist of it. Hogan was named into the All-Pro team before being drafted into a professional team? Can we try any other hook to make this score higher on the interestingness scale? If there is not much to improve the hook, I will go with the nominator's choice. That said, the hook still needs to be used in the article. I do not see that currently. The article does say that he was first-team All-Pro, but does not state the other parts of the hook.

Handing this back to the nominator. Thanks. Ktin (talk) 06:24, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Everything in the hook is in the article. See pro career section: "After going undrafted in the 1949 NFL draft, Hogan signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on February 27, 1949.[5] He started all 12 games for the Steelers during his rookie year in 1949, recording one interception and two fumble recoveries.[1] He was named a first-team All-Pro by the International News Service for the 1949 season." It's in the lead also.

I added some more alts below. Those might be better anyway. Thank you.

  • ALT0 needs to be introduced into the article. Currently it needs to be synthesized from different parts of the article. ALT1 and ALT2 are good and are approved. Minor point -- I would recommend updating the sentence "His obituary stated that ..." to "An obituary in the San Antonio Express News stated that ...". Adding for ALT1 and ALT2. Striking ALT0.

  • @Yakikaki: Sorry for taking so long to respond. Is there a requirement that quotes need to be attributed in the hook? All I read is that if the source is not willing to say the fact in its own voice, the hook should attribute back to the original source as well. – but I don't think that'd apply, as The Times had that wording in their own voice. But anyway, if it is required, would the modification be something like ALT2: ... that Richard Stratton's diplomatic career, according to The Times, took him "from South America to Japan, and from Southern Africa to the foothills of the Himalayas"? That does seem kind of less "hook-y," though. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:37, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article is new enough, long enough and the hook proposals good, particular the first one. They are also supported by inline citations. However, stylistically the article needs work. I would say it currently fails the presentability criterion. The lead section does not summarise the article. The "Significance" section starts abruptly, stating it is larger than ordinary manuscript pictures, but until now the reader hasn't even been informed it IS a manuscript picture. The "Description" section starts like this: "In the middle is the principal subject; The painting depicts eight of the nine rulers of the Bijapur Sultanate; leaving out only Mallu Adil Khan, whose reign lasted for only seven months." Why the semi-colons? These are just a few immediate points I spotted. I think the nominator should go through the article and bring it up to common Manual of Style standards before we can proceed with this nomination. Let me know when you have done so and I will take another look. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 15:35, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tidied up the article a bit. Expanded the lead, removed the semicolons, and added some information regarding the painting's status as a (presumed) manuscript picture.AmateurHi$torian (talk) 11:39, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      "Pem nem: a 16th-century Urdu romance goes on-line". As in other tales of the same genre, the union of the lover and beloved is a metaphor for the union of the soul with God after mistaking the image, the majaz or symbol (here the image of Mah Ji on the hero's chest) for the haqiqa, or truth.

    • Approving first hook only. Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. No copyright violations detected. Both hook facts are reasonably interesting and are an appropriate length. The first hook has no issues and I can tick yes on that. However, there are some minor verifiability issues with the alt hook that should be easily fixed. To begin with the hook fact is not actually on page 44, but occurs later on page 46 and again on page 51. Secondly, the source uses the word tortoise (which is what is in the hook), but the article says turtle. They are not exactly the same thing (although tortoises are a specific type of turtle). Ping me once those issues are fixes and I can approve the alt hook, but no big deal if we just go with the first hook. Best.4meter4 (talk) 00:26, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, it's on page 46; that was a mistake on my part. As for the tortoise-turtle issue, there is another source which states that the animal was a turtle. The actual language of the manuscript is Dakhni, and like Urdu/Hindi, the word for tortoise and turtle is probably the same, ie. کچھوا or kachua. In any case, hook 1 is fine by me, and thanks for the review :) AmateurHi$torian (talk) 11:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
