NOTE: Since on average about 50% of hooks on the suggestions page are U.S. related, it is usually appropriate to have roughly half the hooks in any given update on U.S. topics. Thanks.

Tips on assembling sets are at Misplaced Pages:Did you know/Additional rules.

Hooks

From Misplaced Pages's newest articles:

... that Richard Henry Savage (pictured) served in Egypt for one year (1871–72) with Charles Pomeroy Stone in the Egyptian Army, under Khedive Isma'il Pasha?

... that once a year almost 1000 mummified bodies are put on public display inside the Church of St. Casimir the Prince?

... that "A Chorus Lie", the Will & Grace episode in which Matt Damon appeared, had the highest viewing figures in the show's history?

... that the river Vaitarani that flows near the Rudranath Hindu shrine is identified with the "river of salvation", where souls of the dead cross to the other world?

... that professional wrestler Juan Aguilar Leos was not revealed to be the son of El Texano until he was unmasked, after which he adopted the ring name "El Texano, Jr."?

... that Percival C. Pope's Marine Corps Brevet Medal, at the Navy Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., is the only known original Marine Corps Brevet Medal on public display?

... that ...

... that George Burgess, the first Episcopal Bishop of Maine, died at sea in 1866 while traveling to Haiti on Church business?

Credit templates

You can also give out credits using the following templates:

Article talk page: ({{dyktalk}}) {{dyktalk|30 December|2024}} (check if small style templates in use, if so add small=yes parm)
Article creator/expander's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYK}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYK|30 December|2024|Article name}} --~~~~
Nominator's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYKNom}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKNom|30 December|2024|Article name}} --~~~~
Notify contributor about addition to a Portal: (can be modified for more than one portal) - ({{UpdatedDYKportal}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKportal|Article name|Portal:Portal name}} --~~~~

Note that portal notifications are only done if you have taken the trouble to add the DYK hook to a relevant portal, which is entirely optional. The other notifications must be done before the preparation area page can be reset.

Images

Don't forget to add an {{mprotected}} notice to the image description page (or {{C-uploaded}} plus a copy of the author attribution and the licence tag if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons).

Posting the new update

Note: This is the manual method. When using WP:DYKADMINBOT, the bot should automate all of the following except steps 1, 7, and 10. Update: Bot is currently working but not archiving, so step 6 also has to be done manually after each bot update until further notice.

Make sure the image/media for the hooks to be loaded is on English Misplaced Pages or protected on Commons. If the image/file is on Commons and not protected, upload it to En and tag it with {{c-uploaded}}. You do not need to protect the picture; this is done automatically because of the cascading protection of the Main Page. Alternatively, if you are an admin at Commons you can protect the image/file at Commons instead of uploading to En.
Update T:DYK from the current queue.
Purge the cache of the Main Page to make sure the new entries appear.
Reset the DYK time.
Increment the next queue count.
Copy the previous set of hooks (not the new set just promoted to the front page) to the archive. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (should be the last diff on the T:DYK page before your update). Please include the picture/file.
Check if the previous picture/file was temporarily uploaded from Commons for display on the Main Page, and delete it from En if so.
If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above).
Clear the queue you just promoted hooks from with {{User:DYKadminBot/REMOVE THIS LINE}}.
If you have time, check if Preparation area 1 or Preparation area 2 are full. Check the hooks for errors, and promote them to the next empty numbered queue if they're good. Clear the queue you took hooks from to look like this. Tag the numbered queue with {{DYKbotdo|~~~}} once the queue is loaded and ready.
