DYK queue status

There are currently 5 filled queues – all good, for now!

Earliest time for next DYK update: 00:00, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Current time: 19:44, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Update frequency: once every 24 hours

Last updated: 19 hours ago( )


This is where the Did you know section on the main page, its policies and the featured items can be discussed. Proposals for changing how Did You Know works were being discussed at Misplaced Pages:Did you know/2011 reform proposals.

Discussions about (partially) replacing DYK with "Selected Good Articles"

There have been recent discussions started about replacing DYK with a "Selected Good Articles" section, either entirely or on certain days/on a rotating basis. As that obviously affects DYK quite a bit, I encourage interested editors to take a look and participate in the discussions that stared on the GAN talk page and have continued at the talk page for an attempt to redesign the main page. ~ Rob 00:36, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Anniversary-related hook for next week

Since the 20th anniversary of the murder of Michael Nigg is coming up in a week, I would like to know if someone can review the nomination in time for it to run on the Main Page on September 8. (This is, somewhat thankfully for me, the last true-crime-anniversary DYK I expect to create and nominate until late October). Daniel Case (talk) 04:22, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I went ahead and reviewed it for you. There are a few awkward and confusing sentences in the article that need to be revised. Other than that it's good to go. ~ ONUnicornproblem solving 19:37, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Second opinion needed, please

Prose count...

Can someone who's smarter than me check to see if I've hit the 5x on Numerical Electromagnetics Code? The prose counter in DYK Check ignores the PRE text, and I think I'm well over the limit if that's included. Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:04, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

I wouldn't consider the pre text to be prose. I think it's similar to a list, table, etc. which we do not count as prose. You need 19,380 characters of prose to hit 5x, and DYK Check puts you at 15,505. Alternatively, you could look into WP:GA. ~ Rob 18:13, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Queue tweaks

An article in Queue 4 was just moved. Flail Space Model should be changed to flail space model. The credits should be: 

* {{DYKmake|Flail space model|Jarvis4340|subpage=Flail Space Model}}
* {{DYKnom|Flail space model|APerson}}

(I'm also not a big fan of the redundancy "the flail space model models", so that could be tweaked if desired.)

This hits the Main Page in about half an hour. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:30, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Oldest nominations needing DYK reviewers

The previous list has just been archived, so I've compiled a new set of the 39 oldest nominations that need reviewing. Of these, 21 are left over from last time. As of the most recent update, 120 nominations are approved, leaving 199 of 319 nominations still needing approval. Thanks to everyone who reviews these, especially those left over from July.

Please remember to cross off entries as you finish reviewing them (unless you're asking for further review), even if the review was not an approval. Many thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:28, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Error in queue 5

... that "Devil Pray" is about Madonna's experience of taking drugs such as Ecstasy (pictured)?

I think ecstasy should not be capitalized sovereign°sentinel (contribs) 15:58, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Looks like it's been fixed. ~ ONUnicornproblem solving 16:18, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
The hook was fixed, but the caption still has the word capitalized and it should also be lowercased there. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:00, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
