Overall: Earwig's clear, long enough, new enough, sourced well, and gtg. The Graun really needs to get its reporting up though, "Metro did something that had yet to be done in this rap battle: he apologized" might be the most damning indictment of J Cole's role in the beef I've seen.

Liance, would you do an ALT hook that doesn't mention "rumors accusing" a living person of cosmetic surgery? Rjjiii (talk) 18:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT0a: ... that Maud Morgan(pictured) is considered the first American to perform as a solo harpist on the American concert stage? Source: Same as above
Overall: A really interesting person to read about! I think we would need to use ALT 0a, which better reflects the claims of the sources. The only query is on the hook not appearing in the body of the article. If you can add it somewhere appropriate, this is good to go. Mystery Merrivale (talk) 10:09, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria. Was nominated within 5 days of being promoted to GA. Meets length criteria. No issues with tone. No major concerns with sourcing. Earwig's throws a high score, but, that can be attributed to a couple of direct quotes. So, no major concern there. Nominator seems to have less than five DYK nominations and hence does not have a QPQ requirement.
ALT0: I am unable to access The Indian Express article. Seems to be throwing a paywall error for me. However, with the statement provided by the nominator Bumrah smashed two sixes and four fours to amass 29 runs with 6 runs added as extras and created a world record for scoring the most runs in an over in Test cricket., it seems like this one is correct. However, doing a couple of Google searches, it seems like Broad conceding 35 runs is definitely the highest in an over in test matches, but, can we confirm with other sources as well that Bumrah having scored 29 runs holds the record for the highest runs in an over in tests? Also, the article is from 2022. We should ensure that nothing has happened to break this record in the years since then.
ALT1: Validated by the statement from India Today. Important to note. Fastest indian pacer to get to 150 wickets. Would be good to wikilink pacer.
ALT2: Validated by the LiveMint article. Would be nice to wikilink some of the terms here.
Overall once we get clarity on ALT0, if we go with it, my preference would be ALT0 or ALT1 over ALT2.
Question for the nominator -- are there any other interesting facts other than stats oriented that you could find? Would be nice to give that a shot. Ktin (talk) 03:29, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the Indian Express article, you can view it using this archive link. For information on the most runs scored in an over, you can refer to this ESPNcricinfo page. It shows that the 35 runs scored by Bumrah against Broad is the highest, while the second highest is 28 runs scored by Lara against Peterson. Both 29 and 35 are higher than Lara's previous record. There are some other interesting facts.
... that Jasprit Bumrah's father passed away from hepatitis B when Bumrah was just 5 years old?[1]
Overall: My first one in a while. Looks good as far as I can tell, though I can't access most of the cited newspaper articles to fully confirm (looks like they exist but are in print/paywalled). I just published an edit to the article for some light clean-up but it shouldn't affect this nomination. AdoTang (talk) 03:00, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is long enough, new enough, and neutral with reliable sources. There are no copyright violations. There are a few issues. The part with "now-famous memo" has an external link, and external links should not be in the article's body. The last part of the Cancellation section needs to be referenced. As for the hook, the article actually says, "it would have been the premier supercomputer of the era". Conway likely was referring to the world, but the quoted words do no say that.

Article is new enough, more than long enough, and very well sourced. Hook is interesting and well-sourced, with a minor problem: while the source is Taiwanese, the article does not actually state that the worship actually takes place in Taiwan. Maybe just drop "in Taiwan", especially since the article mentions other countries like Malaysia as well? ALT1 is a bit dull, ALT2 is otherwise OK but "is said to have" is a bit weak. The image would otherwise be good, but it's a bit muddy/unclear and the dog is barely visible. (Not a blocker though, the image is optional anyway). Jpatokal (talk) 23:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request' - Hi, DYK promoter, As a newbie, I have made 4 or 5 DYK articles, but none of them were chosen with a photo. So if possible, please promote this DYK with an image. Thanks TheGreatPeng (talk) 13:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are multiple issues. Three of the sources are unreliable - PBase as a personal website, Humanities for All as a blog post, and Indybay has no editorial process as an "open publishing newswire" that "allows anyone to instantaneously self-publish their work". The first and last sentences of the Design section needs citations. The first sentence under the Use as protest space section needs to be cited. SL93 (talk) 00:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks SL93 for the feedback. I've replaced the PBase citation with a better source, and removed the Indybay citation. I've also added sources for the sentences which were missing them. I've left the Humanities for All citation up because I believe that although it's a blog article, it's an appropriate source for the statement of "[SJSU] faculty embedded Victory Salute into their Public Art as Resistance project". The blog is written by the Director of Public Programming for the College of Humanities at San Jose State, and describes the history and intent behind the project. I have added another secondary source for the statement, but I think the Humanities for All article should stay.SammySpartan (talk) 18:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... that blackface actor George Kunkel(pictured) originally portrayed the character of Uncle Tom to promote slavery during the American Civil War, but later used the part to attack it when his views changed?
ALT1: ... that while the Gravity Blanket didn't invent the weighted blanket category, Time magazine considered it to have "perfected the art of marketing them to the masses"? Source: "Although the year-old startup didn’t invent the accessories—which apply gentle pressure that studies say calms the nervous system—it perfected the art of marketing them to the masses." TIME
ALT3: ... that the Gravity Blanket was funded by a Kickstartercrowdfunding campaign that raised US$150,000 on its first day, when it only wanted US$21,500? Source: "The company’s original fund-raising goal had been $21,500. Its campaign brought in a hundred and fifty thousand dollars on the first day, and then Gravity started buying paid advertising; within two weeks, the total had surpassed two million dollars. The campaign closed in May, with $4,729,263." New Yorker
ALT4: ... that the Gravity Blanket was funded by a viralKickstartercrowdfunding campaign that raised more than US$4.7 million, when it only asked for US$21,500? Source: "The company’s original fund-raising goal had been $21,500. Its campaign brought in a hundred and fifty thousand dollars on the first day, and then Gravity started buying paid advertising; within two weeks, the total had surpassed two million dollars. The campaign closed in May, with $4,729,263." New Yorker
Overall: All DYK criteria are fulfilled. I've done some copy-editing, and it's good to go. The first three hooks are, rather, a touch generic and not so interesting. The last two are, however. ALT4 is the best of the lot. Although, it needs a bit of delinking. There's currently a heap of blueness on it. The linking of the words 'viral' and 'crowdfunding campaign' is redundant IMO.

@Xoak: Could we by any chance perhaps have the hook be a new alt? Just discovered that they collaborated with Pizza Hut…this could make for a humorous DYK: ’’’…that Pizza Hut’s most expensive pizza was a blanket?’’’ source --TheSandDoctorTalk 00:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheSandDoctor: Yes, we always can. List your newer ALT hooks in bold in reply to this if you have more. The one you already provided let's name it ALT5. It is pretty hilarious and more intriguing than the previous ones, obviously. However, the source mentions it as Pizza Hut’s most expensive pizza is ... a weighted blanket?, per DYK rules we'd need to add that part to the article somewhat as is. You could probably add to the partnership section: [...] "It was sarcastically dubbed as Pizza Hut's most expensive pizza." Also, we could go for ALT6 …"that Pizza Hut’s most expensive pizza was a weighted blanket?" to reflect the source's statement more closely. Let me know your thoughts. X (talk) 04:31, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Xoak: Added to the article. I prefer ALT5 or 6 personally. Discovered that tidbit and it's far more hilarious. --TheSandDoctorTalk 05:20, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheSandDoctor and Xoak: Single-sentence WP:PARAGRAPHs are discouraged, could these be merged? (Also pinging @Z1720:, as the date request is for a set queued by him.)--Launchballer 11:03, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: I've made some copy-editing. Better now? I felt it was okayish since those single sentence paragraphs were part of separate subsections. Anyway, I've merged them now. X (talk) 11:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Works a treat, and everything checks out. (Not a DYK issue, but this should have some more categories added.) How come this is for 31 May?--Launchballer 11:18, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. And I've added some cats. X (talk) 12:36, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: figured because that is Pizza Hut's founding anniversary and they're mentioned/related here in the preferred hook. If that isn't strong enough we can bump. Thanks for the work @Xoak:. I would've been on here earlier but time zones put this activity in the middle of the night for me. --TheSandDoctorTalk 16:34, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will defer to Z1720.--Launchballer 16:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. I imagine prep 4 (which hasn't yet been queued) would also probably work as a secondary option given that Pizza Hut is a North American (originating) brand and the flip over would result around 17:00 May 31st for New York. Not terribly attached to either, just food for thought. --TheSandDoctorTalk 16:56, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you want this added to a queue, please post a message on WT:DYK after its promotion stating why and an admin will do it for you. Feel free to ping me in the message. Z1720 (talk) 21:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Z1720, TheSandDoctor, I really don't think this is an appropriate special occasion request, since the date in question is tangential at best to Gravity Blanket, the nominated article. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT0a: ... that David W. Music has taught, composed, conducted and written about music?
Approved: Article is new enough, long enough, well-cited, presentable, and with no policy issues detected. QPQ waived. Hook is formatted and of good length. Hook fact cited in article (will assume that when he "led" a Sacred Harp sing ["directed" in source] this is equivalent to "conducting"). This is roughly verifiable from the summary preview of the subscription-required online source. Hook is interesting. Could probably do an alternate about the nominative determinism, but for non-April Fools, I don't think it'd be any more interesting than ALT0 which is excellent. I put up ALT0a just so the promoter can see them side-by-side, I think the slight repetition of phrasing in ALT0 (while less concise) makes for a better hook. All good! – Reidgreg (talk) 02:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm an IP user so I think I can't approve the overall DYK, but just a heads up that I'm a Korean speaker and I verified that both hook 1 and ALT1 are supported by the sources given. I'll give a slight comment that I'd prefer ALT1 be worded as "... that Ryu Sung-hyun(pictured) will become the first Korea National Sport University student athlete to compete at two Olympic Games?" Think the meaning of this is slightly clearer and it's slightly more concise. I prefer the main hook to ALT1 though; think it's more interesting. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 07:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your input. I have changed the wording on ALT1. I was trying to figure out how to emphasize that he is competing in two Olympics while enrolled in the school- there are multiple alumni who have competed in multiple Olympics. -Riley1012 (talk) 12:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: hooks that treat the future as definite are problematic. I'm assuming Ryu Sung-hyun has qualified for the Olympics, but even athletes on their country's Olympic teams sometimes don't end up competing due to injury, illness, accident, or some other complication, so "will" is a problem (see WP:CRYSTAL). Perhaps "is set to become" could be used (though, like the IP user, I prefer the original hook):
Note that if you want the Olympics in the original hook, you can do so simply by adding "Olympian" before his name. —BlueMoonset (talk) 04:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that is totally fair. I've incorporated both of your suggestions. -Riley1012 (talk) 10:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: The article is well-written, well-sourced, and well-organised. Both English-language and Korean-language sources were checked for close paraphrasing; no issues arose. Both hooks are interesting and verified, but I strongly favour the initial hook over ALT1. Yue🌙 03:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Length, date, hook all checks out. In terms of grammar, "erstwhile-" isn't exactly needed in the hook sentence. No close paraphrase found. QPQ still pending though. --Soman (talk) 13:59, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
good to go. --Soman (talk) 23:06, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@LunaEclipse: sorry, I made a mistake. The source for ALT4 says that Goose "hadn't worked a lot with 3D", not that she never had worked with it. My mistake. I've fixed the article accordingly. Skyshiftertalk 23:18, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Article clears the criteria. Passed GA review within 7 days of nom, long enough, well-sourced for sure. Presentable. For the hooks, they're both sourced properly and both are interesting. I personally prefer ALT0. QPQ has been completed, so good job and this is good to go to the DYK section. Soulbust (talk) 01:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
