  • Not interesting and a coatrack, since Huasun is surely not the person who made these decisions. (t · c) buidhe 00:07, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Buidhe: As Qin represented his country in the UNSC, he made the decision based on his country's political position. However, prior to 2011, China's vetoes in the UNSC were rare and only four times [1] were it used prior to the start of the 21st century. Since the mentioned vetoes were related to sending peacekeeping troops, it might be interesting as the users would look into the article to see why the peacekeeping resolutions were vetoed. However, if you any ideas for another hook in the article or if I should modify it in a certain phrasing, I am happy to consider that. - Toadboy123 (talk) 09:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
      • Yes, I know how the UN works. Certainly the hook phrasing makes it sound like a coatrack. Frankly not all articles are suited for DYK and this one may not be. Peacekeeping is not inherently dull but UN resolutions can be, especially if there is no real information what the vote is really about. Furthermore, the article as it stands does not qualify due to sourcing. (t · c) buidhe 13:23, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Buidhe: Is there anything that I should do to improve the article such as adding more reliable sources or expanding the information regarding the reasons of the vetoed resolutions so that the article can be featured in DYK ? Or does the article does not have the information much needed for the DYK? I can improve the article based on your suggestions but if you feel there is no room for it in DYK then you can cancel this nomination. - Toadboy123 (talk) 02:26, 7 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
          • @Buidhe: I have added detailed information on the vetoed UN resolutions. Let me know if anything more has to be done. - Toadboy123 (talk) 06:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
  • Since I have not heard any response from the previous reviewer, can a new reviewer check the updates to the hook I made and if it is good to go? - Toadboy123 (talk) 03:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Much to whinge about here I'm afraid. As written, the biography section would deserve {{subsections}}, and much of its early paragraphs can feel more than a bit WP:Proseline at times and would deserve {{prose}}. None of the hook has an end-of-sentence citation, and given that WP:CLUMP says that "more than three [references] should generally be avoided", I'm not going through four. Take your time, and ping me when these are remedied.--Launchballer 10:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: I have made the edits to the article based on the suggestions you made. Check and let me know if it is good to go now. - Toadboy123 (talk) 02:01, 16 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
It's a bit better, but you need a cite for "February 2000".--Launchballer 14:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Laura Veale[edit]

(
)
  • Source: Several, including: Harrogate Advertiser: "Hampsthwaite commemorates North Yorkshire’s first female doctor Laura Sobey Veale". Note: This fact has had to be carefully interpreted. It was initially expressed as "the first Yorkshire woman to become a doctor" on the brown plaque, pictured in the article and written by the eminent Harrogate historian Malcolm Neesam. He meant "Yorkshire-born". However it has since been interpreted to mean that she was the first female doctor to practise in Yorkshire, which would be incorrect. Edith Pechey was the first qualified woman doctor to practise in Yorkshire, but she was born in Essex, so to local understanding she was definitely not a "Yorkshire woman" (they are very parochially-minded here). Veale was born in Yorkshire.

  • The article was moved to mainspace yesterday, so is new enough. It is far more than long enough and properly uses in-line citations (perhaps even more so than necessary for some sentences). The copyvio detector doesn't find anything other than names of things and quotes that are properly used in the article. The hook is short enough, interesting, and is cited inline. The QPQ has been done and there's no image to review. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 20:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the review, Silver seren Re the "even more so than necessary", you'll find that some experienced editors are doing that for a good reason. For example, if you have a "first" in the article, that is going to be automatically questioned and double-checked, and rightly so. Therefore, it is worth finding as many different, independent sources as possible for that "first" and including them all in the article. There is also the fact that some sources may be accessible to some readers (e.g. readers with a subscription, readers in the UK, etc.) and some source may not be accessible to all (e.g. readers outside the UK or without subscription), so it's worth giving them a few alternative sources. A third reason is that various sources give different aspects to the same fact, and some sources also include extra facts which the editor chooses not to include in the article, but which are extremely interesting. In the cast of historical articles, contemporary sources may give the historical standpoint on the matter. Extra sources containing additional facts may also allow other editors to expand the article. Nothing is wasted in this particular article, and there is a reason for everything.

  • Performing a review here. A QPQ is in progress for Hae Nang Maew, and I'm WP:AGF that it will be completed. The sources for the article look to be reliable, and I see no red flags as far as NPOV. Article is sufficiently new and long.
  • Let's work with ALT1, as I think it's the most interesting for outside readers. It also needs some edits to be clear for an outside reader.. "Instead of" is a little unclear as it implies that maybe she was supposed to do something and disobeyed. The article is more accurate in that the chair "represented her artistic vision of Syrian victims and refugees". We should also somehow note the Syrian context, both for the artist and refugees. This probably doesn't need more than a few wording tweaks, if you want to try again. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:42, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for your review and comments. - How about ALT1a then? Munfarid1 (talk) 16:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's really close. Can we re-add context of who she is? (e.g.: a Syrian artist and activist?) I might consider a more precise word than "vision". Maybe "representation"? But if there isn't a better word, "vision" is fine. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, I have added Syrian artist to ALT1b now, but IMHO "vision" is the better word here. Hooks are supposed to be somewhat enigmatic, to make people curious. I think you can choose now, and finish your review. Munfarid1 (talk) 21:02, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: An interesting article on a little-known ancient instrument. The date of creation, length and references are correct (AGF on offline sources), and the qpq has been done. The article relies heavily on primary sources, but these are only quoted, not interpreted, so that's good. We have a staggering 49% earwigs score, but this is due to the copied fragment. Anyway, I think that you should mention who is the translator of these fragments, before I declare the article plagiarism free. The phrase about "Athenian banquets" is repeated, one of the two occurrences should be paraphrased. The hook is cited, but is rather long, I think it should be shortened and - above all - the language should be made more fluid. Regarding the "surviving ancient snippets", I understand what you mean, but it should be better explained for the reader: adding some context would help. Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 07:08, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alessandro57 can you clarify what kind of copyediting you're looking for. I'm guessing you're looking for a level of prose quality beyond what is requried by WP:DYKCRIT. In specific, see WP:DYKNOT, where it says Articles ... do not have to be of very high quality. If it fails some specific criteria, that needs to get fixed. If it's just that the prose could be better, that's not something to hold up an approval. RoySmith (talk) 14:05, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Images are all appropriately licensed and I can find no evidence of other plagiarism, copyvio or BLP issues. Would suggest linking art deco and ziggurat in the appropriate hooks, and "art-deco style" needs a hyphen in ALT2.

Overall: Great work on the article, AskeeaeWiki! I do love the hook, with The Weeknd claiming that he could make his lover scream like a horror genre actress? That's wild! Anyway, there's just one issue that I have – there's a Distractify source used in the article, which is considered unreliable; I feel like there could be a more reliable source out there that verifies the fact that he "repeatedly tells his partner that he is willing to marry if she signs a prenuptial agreement, to keep his assets if they separate". Other than that, I have no other concerns, and happy to approve afterward. Thanks! :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 02:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article was created on the same day as nomination. Article meets adequate quality standards and contains enough prose for DYK, my only suggestions are for "the western end of the building" to be potentially reworded just due to similarity in the source, and for the double space in the 'History' section to be fixed. Very interesting hook! I took a look at the source and I noticed that it had mentioned "Moriori, Maori, or Pakeha" (meaning the missionaries failed to convert Indigenous or European New Zealanders) and I'm wondering if this, or the fact that this took place in New Zealand, would be worth mentioning in the hook as well. Picture is relevant to the hook. QPQ done. Great work on the article! Please ping when concerns have been addressed. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, good catch! Fixed this in the article. For the hook, I generally try to condense the hooks as much as I can, but. ALT1": ... that over the course of several decades, the missionaries of New Zealand's German Mission House (pictured) failed to convert a single person?" could work! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 00:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. I just wanted to suggest any sort of inclusion of New Zealand in the hook so that there wouldn't be any confusion with the building having "German" in its name. Good to go now. :) B3251 (talk) 01:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1: ... that depictions of Tobias and the Angel usually show his dog?
really says everything that has to be said, in less space. RoySmith (talk) 13:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it is unusual-and it is very unusual-is the hooky bit. It's a short hook anyway. Johnbod (talk) 14:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The point of a hook is to be short and sweet, and leave just a little mystery, enticing the reader to click through to the article. There's no need to tell people this is a religious subject, that's obvious from the title of the painting. And there's no need to tell them it's unusual, the fact that there's a dog speaks for that itself. RoySmith (talk) 15:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dubious - gaming/superhero culture is chock full of angels with no religious context at all, & I'm sure vast numbers of our readers have no opinion at all on the frequency with which dogs appear in Christian religious art. Johnbod (talk) 15:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • 5× expansion of 6 May 2024‎ version completed from 898 characters to 4,527 and nominated eight days later (calculating from this version as opposed to the 2 May version makes this just one day late, so I'm willing to invoke WP:IAR). No copyvios detected (AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 97 characters long (ALT1 is 61); both are under 200 character max. and are interesting. AGF book for ref 7 (verifying the hook) which is offline. QPQ done. Image is free and in the public domain. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - The second source does not appear to be accessible to me; although the full quote is included here I am unable to verify this.
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting article, passes newness, length, copyvio and sourcing policies. QPQ done. I'm unable to verify the quote using the second source provided, so a replacement will be needed before I can pass this. Would also like to see another round of copy-editing on the article to clean up a few errors. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 09:30, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Sims2aholic8: Hi! Nice to meet you! Just completed copyediting as per your request. The link for the article for some reason doesn't allow for external access which is really weird, as you have mentioned. Here is a HTML link through Google Scholar that I used, but if this doesn't work, search for the title on the site and it should be the first result. Ornithoptera (talk) 23:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for providing that! I'm now able to verify the hook using the new reference provided, and the copy-edit looks good, so happy to pass this now! Sims2aholic8 (talk) 08:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're very much welcome! Thank you so much for taking the time to go through this article! Cheers and have a wonderful day @Sims2aholic8:! Ornithoptera (talk) 17:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wow, I love this hook. Article is long enough and 5x expanded as of today, Earwig finds no copyvio, sourcing looks good and I'm AGFing on the languages I can't read (DeepL translation shows me it lines up). Hook is cited, again AGF because I can't be certain, given that I can't read Russian, and your QPQ is good. Zanahary (talk) 21:47, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Epicgenius I hope you don't mind, but I've done a bit more work on this since your review. Please let me know if I've introduced any new issues. RoySmith (talk) 21:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith: Thanks for the heads up. You cite this Forbes contributor blog (which is not really reliable per WP:FORBESCON), but it's used for commentary and not for factual info. I see no other issues. Epicgenius (talk) 00:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith and Epicgenius: WP:FORBESCON is red so we should replace before promotion. It is used for three citations and some give specific information which could be contested. Bruxton (talk) 02:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch. I re-cited one to a different source, removed another, and the third is an attributed opinion, so I think it's OK. The author can reasonable be considered a WP:EXPERTSPS[1] RoySmith (talk) 13:37, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
