Thank you,
4meter4, for a very useful and comprehensive article. Although I like ALT1, I don't agree with the reason given for it: there will be a lot of people in Canada who would be offended by people of another nationality suggesting that their orchestra is insignificant, if they had seen that comment. That said, there is nothing wrong with ALT1, and it does the job required by DYK. So - good to go with ALT0 or ALT1, with preference for ALT1.

Before I clear it, I want to check about some of the blue-linking on the page. I think some of the links in the lead section are linked again lower on the page, so I'd like to have the nominator have a chance to check the page once more for (1) any overlinking, and (2) whether there might be any new links to add. I'm not seeing any other issues. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 22:52, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Tryptofish. Per WP:DL, links may be duplicated in different sections where necessary to establish context. For example, today's FA, The Spider (magazine), links competing publications and the author in the lede and on first mention in the text. As for other links, I didn't see any that seemed to be contextually relevant and likely to have an article. Blauw doesn't have an article even in Dutch. The sugar station might warrant an article at some point, given how big it seems to have been, but I'd have to see how much is available about it. — Chris Woodrich ( talk) 23:05, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

No QPQ needed. Hook is interested, although you really should list the source again here; it's de Crespigny, Rafe (2018). Generals of the South: The Foundation and Early History of the Three Kingdoms State of Wu. This checks out, however. Article seems in decent shape, although might need a round of copyediting; it's presentable, but some of the sentences are phrased a little clunkily.

Well done! Nominator is exempt from QPQ. The article was created within a week at the time of nomination and exceeds the minimum length for DYK. The article is generally within policy; I did make a copyedit to fix some typos and linkage issues. A basic copyvio check found no concerns. Sourcing is sufficient and high-quality. All of the hooks are cited and mentioned within the article, and I believe they pass our standards for interesting hooks.

Article is long and new enough as well as well written and copyvio-free. However, I would prefer that you cite another reliable, independent source for the critical reception instead of using Rotten Tomatoes, which, while reliable on its own, is not an arbiter of critical consensus; you can still report on the RT scores, though. Hooks are cited both in this page and article, but I prefer ALT1 (that is, with another independent source as I've said) for obvious reasons but with some minor alterations:
- ALT1a: ... that some critics described the fourth season of the late-night satirical news show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver as comic relief from the activities of the Trump administration? Source: The AV club, Bustle
ALT0 seems dull and reliant on readers' knowledge of award-giving bodies. Title card image, which is freely-licensed, seems more decorative than encyclopedic within the context of this DYK, so I seriously doubt it's gonna make it to the main page.

Thank you,
4meter4, for a very useful and comprehensive article. Although I like ALT1, I don't agree with the reason given for it: there will be a lot of people in Canada who would be offended by people of another nationality suggesting that their orchestra is insignificant, if they had seen that comment. That said, there is nothing wrong with ALT1, and it does the job required by DYK. So - good to go with ALT0 or ALT1, with preference for ALT1.

Before I clear it, I want to check about some of the blue-linking on the page. I think some of the links in the lead section are linked again lower on the page, so I'd like to have the nominator have a chance to check the page once more for (1) any overlinking, and (2) whether there might be any new links to add.

For example, today's FA, The Spider (magazine), links competing publications and the author in the lede and on first mention in the text. As for other links, I didn't see any that seemed to be contextually relevant and likely to have an article. Blauw doesn't have an article even in Dutch.

No QPQ needed. Hook is interested, although you really should list the source again here; it's de Crespigny, Rafe (2018).

Article is long and new enough as well as well written and copyvio-free. However, I would prefer that you cite another reliable, independent source for the critical reception instead of using Rotten Tomatoes, which, while reliable on its own, is not an arbiter of critical consensus; you can still report on the RT scores, though. Hooks are cited both in this page and article, but I prefer ALT1 (that is, with another independent source as I've said) for obvious reasons but with some minor alterations:
- ALT1a: ... that some critics described the fourth season of the late-night satirical news show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver as comic relief from the activities of the Trump administration? Source: The AV club, Bustle
ALT0 seems dull and reliant on readers' knowledge of award-giving bodies. Title card image, which is freely-licensed, seems more decorative than encyclopedic within the context of this DYK, so I seriously doubt it's gonna make it to the main page.

- Comment: Drive-by nomination, as it's been around 6.875 days since this was converted from a redirect and I want to get this in under the wire. I have a small amount of work to do, starting with the excision of those ugly WP:CLUMPs. Note that I've included 'credited' because, as can quite clearly be seen in the image in the cited source, series 4 winners Spelbound also contained women. Also noting that the majority of this article was created by an IP.

- Review: Newly expanded article from a redirect meeting the required length size of prose. BLP is notable to exist as a standalone article now passing WP:ARTIST. No apparent copyvios. QPQ done. Rest article seems fine. Problem comes with only the fact that this is a synthesis and hence not perfectly verifiable. Do we have any another source mentioning her to be the first woman winner without a dog? Or else, do we have anything else from the article to a new hook? §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 04:52, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

- Review:
- New enough - promoted to GA same day as nomination;
- Long enough - 10,948 characters;
- QPQ Check - not needed;
- Hook is referenced to a secondary source clearly cited in the article, and source has a clear editorial policy;
- Hook is interesting - remarkable number of musicians and instruments;
- Article is presentable;
- Copyvio is clear "Violation Unlikely", most comparison hits are in quotes;
- The picture is clear and in the article;
- However - while the picture states it is freely licenced, it has been sourced to a facebook post by two people (who retain ownership of the intellectual property per [4]). It is therefore not wholly clear it is freely licenced per WP:IUPC;
- Also - the hook needs the rather subjective text "no less than" removed to something more neutral - e.g. "features contributions from", and the article has 2-3 sentences that need citations.
-
This can nearly be approved without the picture. Alternatively to approve this nom for the main page with the picture, I recommend proof "that the copyright holder has released the image under an acceptable free license". Furthermore please resolve the (relatively minor) hook and citation issues. Resonant

- Thanks for your comments! This picture was sourced from the comments of a Facebook post in a fan community for the Cat Empire. In that post, I requested images of the band on tour, making it clear that I was to use them in a Wikipedia article. Would a screenshot of this post and some of the comments be sufficient proof that this image is freely licensed? SupremeLordBagel ( talk to me) 04:01, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

- Understood and noted, though the licencing on the respective images in the article evidently still need resolution. To get this approved for the hook only can you please (a) create an ALT1a without the "(pictured)" text, and (b) resolve the uncited statements within the article, i.e. "It is also the band's first release since The Cat Empire (2003) to be produced by Andy Baldwin" and "The song debuted at No. 1 on the AMRAP Metro Charts, and stayed in that position for two weeks."

- Freshly promoted GA, looks quite solid, not copyvio. ALT0 and ALT1 are good hooks, correctly sourced and interesting. For ALT2, the sources could be a bit more explicit about the 19th century, but I agree this is correct. I am not sure it is as interesting as the other two. QPQ has been done. Approved.

I am assuming in good faith that the Dutch refs adequately support the text and that there is no plagiarism. I've done a general search myself as to the subject of the bio in English sources. There were some deletions made to the article of the word Nazi
here; restoring the word would help make this properly neutral in accuracy, and I would be happy then to pass this final item of the qpq.
