Hey, Epicgenius! So here's the thing about dyk: if you haven't created preps, you have no idea what prep-setters and admins at dyk do or what challenges they face. Many editors who are regular nominators and reviewers think they'd be willing to admin, but have never filled preps, and when they become admins and start moving preps to queues, they quickly realize they didn't know what they were volunteering for. A prep-setter doesn't just create a balanced set. They also do a quick re-review on many of the hooks; you get to know whose hooks you don't have to review too heavily, but you always have to at least go check for a recent edit war or tags. If the nominator or the reviewer are new or known to be sloppy, you'll have to do a full re-review of that hook. Often prep-setters have questions they have to ask at the hook, and they deal with pushback from noms/reviewers/passersby for that. Then once you've finished a prep you have to deal with fallout at DYK talk and ERRORS. Admins do the exact same thing -- a re-review, because prep-setters miss things too, then the move (fairly simple), posting questions at DYK talk and pinging involved parties, dealing with pushback from them, and finally any fallout at ERRORS when someone finds an error you missed. So if you think you would be willing to admin at dyk, definitely go fill preps for a while to see if you like it or not. Some people love it -- I did, and I like adminning there -- but not everyone is cut out for it. It's a high-visibility job. People catch your mistakes, and the only way to prevent that is to catch other people's mistakes first. ] (]) 15:20, 5 May 2020 (UTC) | |||

:{{u|Valereee}}, thanks for the advice. That is good to know. I think this sort of stuff should be enjoyable for me, even if a bit difficult. I just read the project page on prep areas, and it seems a bit difficult to get a good balance on hooks. ] (]) 15:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC) | |||

::That's one of the most fun parts of setting preps. The thing to do for your first prep is pick the bottom empty set (which right now gives you three days to fill it but normally six days.) Count to figure out whether the image hook needs a bio or a non-bio (it alternates by day). Go find one, vet it, and transfer it. That'll let the other prep setters know you'll fill that set. Not that they or an admin won't move stuff in and out if they need it or think another set is better for that hook, but in general one prep-setter works on a set. Then start putting the puzzle together -- no more than four bios (alternating in the set with non-bio), no more than one music/science/military/whatever subject. Not too many from any one country, though 2 - 4 USA hooks will be necessary. A balance of geographical area, not all from English-speaking countries. A balance of long and short. And of course a quirky. It's an art. Don't be afraid to trim or tweak hooks, but read the nom first if you do, as there may have already been discussion. Keep on top of talk in case someone asks a question about one of the hooks in that set, because some people won't realize they need to ping you as the promoter. :) Ping me any time, and Yoninah will often leave pointers on how to improve at your talk. When she stops, you know you're getting near the point of competence. :) ] (]) 15:47, 5 May 2020 (UTC) | |||

Once again, very impressive work on very important station complex and line articles. There is more to be added about the change in BMT plans re:Canal Street. Eventually, ] should be its own article. Also, the citations for ] are really messed up and include self-published sources like nycsubway.org, and there is more history that could be added. A lot of my older GA nominations should be looked at again for things like this. Also, for Union Square, it is worth mentioning the impromptu 9/11 memorial, and the post-2016 election post-it notes (https://mashable.com/article/power-of-post-it-note-protest-subway-therapy, https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/post-it-notes-left-union-square-election-preserved-article-1.2913344, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/12/19/post-election-subway-therapy-sticky-notes-taken-down-but-not-thrown-out/, https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/16/nyregion/subway-election-therapy-wall-sticky-notes.html). ] (]) 14:25, 2 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
:@], the pleasure is mine. I do agree that the ] should get its own page in the future. I've also noticed that there's a lot more that can be said about the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line, especially its construction, and will have to work on it gradually. The biggest mess, though, is the Canal Street article - there are a lot of details about the BMT station that are just not mentioned at the moment, and the article in general needs more refs.{{pb}}As for the Union Square station, the article already mentions both the 9/11 memorial and the post-it wall (the second paragraph of ]). I thought one paragraph would be sufficient, seeing as how the artwork was not sanctioned by the MTA but seems to be covered by multiple reliable sources. – ] (]) 14:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
::I fully agree. I missed it somehow. Don't forget the studies, like the one that found making accessible was infeasible, and which provides some sourcing for station layout (i.e. platform length/width). ] (]) 15:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
:::It also is probably worth mentioning in the Clark Street article. ] (]) 15:30, 2 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
::::I agree and can get around to that soon. In the meantime, I was looking at the study for Union Square, which says: {{tq|This technology does not meet ADA standards, and since there is currently no technology that does, there is no fully accessible solution for the southbound platform. We are including an option for providing elevator service to this platform in this report with the understanding that this will not provide a fully accessible solution at this time.}} So I suppose this means the southbound platform ''can'' get an elevator, it just won't be ADA-accessible because gap fillers, by their very nature, are ADA-inaccessible. – ] (]) 15:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
:::::Yeah. Also, unrelated, but the 1990 Clark Street Tunnel fire was very notable, and there were major reports done on fire safety/communication, etc. in its aftermath. It would warrant an article of its own. ] (]) 16:06, 2 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
::::::I also think the 1990 Clark Street fire should get its own article. (I think the fire happened just east of the Clark Street station, though, not in the tunnel under the river.) In terms of recent NYC Subway disasters, the fire has had at least as much of an impact as the ] or the ] did. – ] (]) 17:11, 2 May 2023 (UTC) | |||

I carried out a small but significant edit to the article entitled "Big Flame (band)". This you rejected. I looked at the "What Misplaced Pages is NOT" but that didn't help. The reason that the edit was made was that the band did not "split", in the sense that bands are usually said to "split". What the band did was to act on a decision they made when the band was formed. That decision was that the band would have a life of three years and no more. This was part of the band's philosophy and their views about punk music and therefore I thought that it was important that this should be included. Perhaps the edit that I suggested was not clear enough about the facts. And my credentials? I know the band members. | |||

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited ], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ] (] | ]).

:@], for (2), most DYK nominations except GA promotions (e.g. article creations, expansions, moves from draftspace, or conversions of redirects to articles) are eligible for DYK points. For (3), unfortunately your contribution to the Fury 325 article is rather small, even though you're among the , and probably would not count for GA points. Generally I'd like to see at least 10% authorship of the article, unless it's a large (~100 kb+) article, in which case we might be fine with a few thousand bytes of prose and sources. – ] (]) 00:43, 9 January 2025 (UTC) | |||

I am curious as to the reason of the edit/removal of all Notables except for Mariah Carey and Flanagan? If you were not the person who made these, please excuse my miss direction. In looking at some of the edits I can see where Opies (Greg Hughes) fans went and made (stupid) edits. However, I don't see why all other people were removed except for those note above. Even those with references were removed. | |||

dyk
This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
Hey, Epicgenius! So here's the thing about dyk: if you haven't created preps, you have no idea what prep-setters and admins at dyk do or what challenges they face. Many editors who are regular nominators and reviewers think they'd be willing to admin, but have never filled preps, and when they become admins and start moving preps to queues, they quickly realize they didn't know what they were volunteering for. A prep-setter doesn't just create a balanced set. They also do a quick re-review on many of the hooks; you get to know whose hooks you don't have to review too heavily, but you always have to at least go check for a recent edit war or tags. If the nominator or the reviewer are new or known to be sloppy, you'll have to do a full re-review of that hook. Often prep-setters have questions they have to ask at the hook, and they deal with pushback from noms/reviewers/passersby for that. Then once you've finished a prep you have to deal with fallout at DYK talk and ERRORS. Admins do the exact same thing -- a re-review, because prep-setters miss things too, then the move (fairly simple), posting questions at DYK talk and pinging involved parties, dealing with pushback from them, and finally any fallout at ERRORS when someone finds an error you missed. So if you think you would be willing to admin at dyk, definitely go fill preps for a while to see if you like it or not. Some people love it -- I did, and I like adminning there -- but not everyone is cut out for it. It's a high-visibility job. People catch your mistakes, and the only way to prevent that is to catch other people's mistakes first. —valereee (talk) 15:20, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- Valereee, thanks for the advice. That is good to know. I think this sort of stuff should be enjoyable for me, even if a bit difficult. I just read the project page on prep areas, and it seems a bit difficult to get a good balance on hooks. epicgenius (talk) 15:23, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- That's one of the most fun parts of setting preps. The thing to do for your first prep is pick the bottom empty set (which right now gives you three days to fill it but normally six days.) Count to figure out whether the image hook needs a bio or a non-bio (it alternates by day). Go find one, vet it, and transfer it. That'll let the other prep setters know you'll fill that set. Not that they or an admin won't move stuff in and out if they need it or think another set is better for that hook, but in general one prep-setter works on a set. Then start putting the puzzle together -- no more than four bios (alternating in the set with non-bio), no more than one music/science/military/whatever subject. Not too many from any one country, though 2 - 4 USA hooks will be necessary. A balance of geographical area, not all from English-speaking countries. A balance of long and short. And of course a quirky. It's an art. Don't be afraid to trim or tweak hooks, but read the nom first if you do, as there may have already been discussion. Keep on top of talk in case someone asks a question about one of the hooks in that set, because some people won't realize they need to ping you as the promoter. :) Ping me any time, and Yoninah will often leave pointers on how to improve at your talk. When she stops, you know you're getting near the point of competence. :) —valereee (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Happy Holidays
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎
Subway articles
Once again, very impressive work on very important station complex and line articles. There is more to be added about the change in BMT plans re:Canal Street. Eventually, Clark Street Tunnel should be its own article. Also, the citations for IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line are really messed up and include self-published sources like nycsubway.org, and there is more history that could be added. A lot of my older GA nominations should be looked at again for things like this. Also, for Union Square, it is worth mentioning the impromptu 9/11 memorial, and the post-2016 election post-it notes (https://mashable.com/article/power-of-post-it-note-protest-subway-therapy, https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/post-it-notes-left-union-square-election-preserved-article-1.2913344, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/12/19/post-election-subway-therapy-sticky-notes-taken-down-but-not-thrown-out/, https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/16/nyregion/subway-election-therapy-wall-sticky-notes.html). Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:25, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Kew Gardens 613, the pleasure is mine. I do agree that the Clark Street Tunnel should get its own page in the future. I've also noticed that there's a lot more that can be said about the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line, especially its construction, and will have to work on it gradually. The biggest mess, though, is the Canal Street article - there are a lot of details about the BMT station that are just not mentioned at the moment, and the article in general needs more refs.As for the Union Square station, the article already mentions both the 9/11 memorial and the post-it wall (the second paragraph of 14th Street–Union Square station#Artwork). I thought one paragraph would be sufficient, seeing as how the artwork was not sanctioned by the MTA but seems to be covered by multiple reliable sources. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- I fully agree. I missed it somehow. Don't forget the Stantec studies, like the one that found making Clark Street accessible was infeasible, and which provides some sourcing for station layout (i.e. platform length/width). Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- It also is probably worth mentioning the 1990 fire in the Clark Street article. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:30, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- I agree and can get around to that soon. In the meantime, I was looking at the study for Union Square, which says:
This technology does not meet ADA standards, and since there is currently no technology that does, there is no fully accessible solution for the southbound platform. We are including an option for providing elevator service to this platform in this report with the understanding that this will not provide a fully accessible solution at this time.
So I suppose this means the southbound platform can get an elevator, it just won't be ADA-accessible because gap fillers, by their very nature, are ADA-inaccessible. – Epicgenius (talk) 15:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)- Yeah. Also, unrelated, but the 1990 Clark Street Tunnel fire was very notable, and there were major reports done on fire safety/communication, etc. in its aftermath. It would warrant an article of its own. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:06, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- I also think the 1990 Clark Street fire should get its own article. (I think the fire happened just east of the Clark Street station, though, not in the tunnel under the river.) In terms of recent NYC Subway disasters, the fire has had at least as much of an impact as the 1991 Union Square derailment or the 1995 Williamsburg Bridge subway collision did. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:11, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- Also-the provisions in the Eastern Parkway Line used for the Clark Street Tunnel connection were initially intended for a line over the Manhattan Bridge. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:27, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
- That is interesting. If we can find a reliable source for this, I could add it to the Borough Hall or Eastern Parkway Line articles. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:35, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
- I have seen reliable sources for this-if you cannot find them, I can look for them after I get my final paper for the semester done today. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:49, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

- Have you seen this article before? Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:53, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Kew Gardens 613, I have, but thanks for clipping it. The first part of that source seems to largely duplicate the New York Herald Tribune ref that's already in the Fulton Street station article. But it has some info that isn't mentioned in the NYHT source, specifically the 535-foot length of the station. The second part of the source could be used for the Broad Street station article though. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:00, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

- I agree. I've noticed quite a bit of info about how Canal Street's proximity to the old Collect Pond contributed to tons of water problems there. I can add these sources in later. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:04, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

- @Epicgenius I have been very busy, but, when I have a chance, will try to get back to this. Amazing work on all the bridge articles. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 13:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- The 2025-2029 Capital Program recently came out. Some articles may need to be updated to reflect this. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Updating the complex articles (since they are all extremely short)
1 World Trade Center
- Needs history section
- Needs design section, which I will write shortly
- Needs destruction section
- "List of tenants" may need to be split to a separate article due to length
- "92nd Floor" section needs removed and incorporated into above "Destruction" section
2 World Trade Center
- Needs history section
- Needs design section
- Needs destruction section
- Potentially needs rewrite, after reading it I spotted a few errors
3 World Trade Center
- Actually has a history section, but needs expanded
- Rewrite Destruction section
- May need a "design" section
4 World Trade Center
- Has history and destruction sections
- Both need expanded
- More images needed
5 World Trade Center
- Half of the article is about 9/11, meaning half of the article is about 1 day when the structure existed for 31 years
- Needs a design section
- Either the gallery section needs removed or expanded to comply with MOS, it's currently just 3 images chilling around
6 World Trade Center
7 World Trade Center
- Needs architecture section
- Needs more history pre-2001
- The destruction section may need to be summarized per WP:SUMSTYLE
I added the above subheaders just in case we need a list of things to do. :) Sir MemeGod :D (talk - contribs - created articles) 16:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Sir MemeGod: Thanks for starting this section. I might move this to User:Epicgenius/sandbox/to do when we're done figuring out what to do (since idk where else to put it). Epicgenius (talk) 16:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- By the way, Construction of the World Trade Center has some info about the Twin Towers' structural design, so we can copy some of the relevant info into these articles. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:46, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
My DYK points were removed; I think I understand
So as far as my DYK nomination not counting for points, I should've seen reason (1) coming. As far as (2), I was unaware that GA improved articles don't count; which ones do count? And for future reference of other articles (3), how much would I have to edit an article for it to be accepted? Would my GA nomination of Fury 325 (or a subsequent DYK) not count because I didn't technically contribute to most of the article? Thanks! Therguy10 (talk) 00:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Therguy10, for (2), most DYK nominations except GA promotions (e.g. article creations, expansions, moves from draftspace, or conversions of redirects to articles) are eligible for DYK points. For (3), unfortunately your contribution to the Fury 325 article is rather small, even though you're among the top 10 editors, and probably would not count for GA points. Generally I'd like to see at least 10% authorship of the article, unless it's a large (~100 kb+) article, in which case we might be fine with a few thousand bytes of prose and sources. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:43, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ah ok---Fury still helps out OPB&M so that's fine. If I did update the article enough, say extra information about the station and queue, (it wouldn't be useless filler) would that make it eligible, even if I submitted it after it gets moved to GA? (assuming it does get promoted to GA) Therguy10 (talk) 00:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Therguy10, yes, that would then be eligible for GA points. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ok cool. And one more thing; I was working on Nicolaus Copernicus & McDonald's Cycle Center for GANs. Would I be eligible for points in any of those categories?
- I've been copyediting Nicolaus Copernicus and updating McDonald's Cycle Center as it hasn't been updated in a while but has the potential. (I feel like MCC would have a better chance for me as I'd actually be a more prominent contributor; compared to probably not being viewed as doing much for NC)
- @Therguy10, yes, that would then be eligible for GA points. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

- Once MCC is GA that will complete a GA (maybe FA; can't remember) Millennium Park list; would I be able to get points for that also or how does that work?
- Sorry I know this is a lot but your feedback as very much appreciated! Tysm! Therguy10 (talk) 00:55, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- It depends on how much authorship share you end up with after these edits. If you have a substantial authorship share because of something like updating old info or adding references, you will most likely be eligible for points. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:09, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Also, the McDonald's Cycle Center article and the other pages will have to be nominated as a featured topic, which is a separate process, after the MCC article passes GA. If the FT nom is successful, you may claim FT points for the MCC article. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:10, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hey @Epicgenius, just clarifying something here. Millennium Park would have to be a "good" topic; not featured right? (You can find the topic here under "Millennium Park") It looks like it was previously featured, but if MCC was good there would only be 7/17 FA. It can't just reclaim its status as a FT just because it previously was one right? Therguy10 (talk) 17:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Therguy10, yes, it would be a good topic, but you would nominate it at Misplaced Pages:Featured and good topic candidates. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius Once MCC is GA I'll nominate it for GT, and then if I can somehow manage to get just two others to FA I'll get it to FT. (Obviously I won't get points for GT and FT, just one or the other, whichever status it would currently be in)
- Again thanks so much, you've been a huge help to me! Therguy10 (talk) 17:54, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Ted Weiss Federal Building
On 10 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ted Weiss Federal Building, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a pavilion next to New York City's Ted Weiss Federal Building was canceled due to the discovery of human remains? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ted Weiss Federal Building. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ted Weiss Federal Building), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Did I format it correctly?
I attempted to add this GAN which I reviewed and passed to my WikiCup page. I'm unsure if I added it correctly, as the bot that counted the points almost immediately last time (despite it being ineligible), has yet to do anything to my page. I'm not in a rush for the points lol but do I need to format it differently? Thanks!
(Alternatively, do I need to add it here instead?) Therguy10 (talk) 18:45, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Therguy10, you added your submission correctly. The bot did not update your submission page because it only adds multipliers for GAs, featured content, and DYKs. The bot did, however, update your point totals on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/History/2025.Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews needed is for DYKs, GAs, and featured content that you want someone else to review so you can claim points for it later. It is not used for claiming points for reviews. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
