DYK for Cheek pouch
 | On 9 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cheek pouch, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that some hamsters hide their young in their cheek pouches to carry them when they fear danger? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cheek pouch. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

This is not a newsletter
Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.
In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:24, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Speedy Tag
Hi, FYI
I have removed your speedy tag from Saravanan meenakshi, because A7 doesn't apply to Television dramas and the current version of the article doesn't have any copyvio --Anbu121 (talk me) 16:14, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
- No need to note me about this - I noticed the user changing the page, and begun to reword the copyvio. Will take to AfD. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 16:17, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Quick question about DYK reviews
Thanks for reviewing my DYK nomination. I'm fairly new to the DYK process (that was my second nomination, third if you include my old account) and I haven't yet reviewed anyone else's DYK nominations as part of the process. If I remember right from my first nomination, once you nominate five DYKs you have to review another DYK during your own nomination process, but I didn't see that rule yesterday when I nominated a DYK again (maybe I just missed it, though). Anyway, I'd like to review in the future and help "pull my weight" in this process, but last night I couldn't find any information on how exactly to do so. I understand the basics (new, long enough, citation for the hook, etc.), but would you mind filling me in on how to do what you did for my DYK nomination or else point me to the how-to page if one exists? Thanks so much: I really appreciate it! Michael Barera (talk) 17:08, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hey Michael, these are the things that I check for when reviewing:
- The standard new enough, long enough, 5x expansion done (iff it is an expansion) or 2x for BLP, the hooked fact is included in the article, and the article is fully sourced
- I also check for copyright violations by comparing the sources with the article. tools:~dcoetzee/duplicationdetector/ is a good tool to use for this
- I finally check to see if the article is written neutrally and is free from adverisments
