After the last 2 DYK hook removal from the queue I stopped nominating articles at DYK. Nvvvchar's very recent joining has brought new life to the 2013/150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda celebration. And September is the most important month of Vivekananda's life. I am explaining in brief— Swami Vivekananda became world famous after success of World's Religion in 1893 (this year is 120th year of his success too). And his first lecture of 11 September is the most famous of all the lectures.
Now, do you remember the Sister Christine article, which you saw as a draft in my user space? The article has been nominated for DYK and 11 September date has been requested. I know we are a bit late. But, actually Nvvchar has joined just today morning. Can you please review the nomination? We are expecting a strict and quick review. You will get other date requests at the DYK page: Template:Did you know nominations/Sister Christine Tito☸ Dutta 09:06, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Howdy- SO, can you please explain why you practically took over the GA review for Harrison. I took your comments (and the fact they were there) to be very disrespectful, both to me and nominator. I disagree with much of what you said, and I will add replies shortly, but I am much angrier that, without warning or asking permission from either of us, you went ahead and added those comments. Now, if I had missed a major(!) mistake, and you left a friendly, more civil note about it, that would have been perfectly a' OK. But to practically take the GA review because a few cites disagree by a matter of months, a few grammatical notes and a few personal preferences is unacceptable and pretty rude. I ask that at the very least you give some warning next time you want to leave your own comments and that you remain civil. I will leave more comments on the review page shortly. PrairieKid ( talk) 02:20, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Further reviews are welcome from any editor who has not contributed significantly to this article (or nominated it), and can be added to the review page, but the decision whether or not to list the article as a good article should be left to the first reviewer.
Just writing to say that I love your article you created for Ryder Lynn. And just to say I think it would be good to also have articles for Marley Rose, Kitty Wilde, Wade "Unique" Adams and Jake Puckerman. There is enough info about them, and considering they are to be main characters in the upcoming fifth season, it would be a great idea for them to have their own articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.212.125 ( talk) 13:13, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Bluemoonset,
If I didn't believe this was not a DYK ready article, I would not be here. Nevertheless, I need someone who is willing to check the article. I appreciate Nikkimaria's efforts, however, she does not have access to much needed offline sources. Once again I will happily say that I have checked every sentence meticulously, almost to the point of memorization, just so that this article can move forward. BlueMoonset, I request a neutral reviewer to check out this article. I especially hope that the reviewer have access to offline sources. Proudbolsahye ( talk) 14:15, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Would you be willing to promote a set of DYK hooks? Rosiestep has requested Goaribari Island become her 1000th DYK. Currently she has 998 DYKs with number 999 having recently been promoted to Prep 4. I have now approved Template:Did you know nominations/Goaribari Island. To help comply with her request, I am now asking several DYK regulars for assistance in promoting the Goaribari Island hook. Thank you for any assistance you can provide, or for you consideration if someone else responds before you see this message. -- Allen3 talk 02:46, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, I have a DYK nomination that has been sitting this week and was wondering if I could ask you to take a look and potentially provide a review to get it going again? Thank you. Hmlarson ( talk)
Hello BlueMoonset, First, thank you for teaching me how to nominate an article for a GA review. I've already fixed the typos and several errors in the page text and I've added the GA nominee template to the talk page of the article. If you're willing to review it, I'd appreciate it.
Second, congratulations on your Glee-related work. ρedro talk 11:34, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, as an experienced DYK reviewer, could you kindly offer your opinion on the suitably of the DYK hook proposed at Template:Did you know nominations/Fury of the Congo. I think there may also be a problem with rule C6, but I'm not really sure. Thanks, Sasata ( talk) 19:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. After you promoted the hook for Ada and Andrine Hegerberg, I realized that I forgot to add myself with a {{DYKmake}} for the Andrine article. The article was originally created and nominated by another editor, and I jumped into the nomination by adding her sisters article and improving the other one aswell. I could have added the DYKmake to Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2 myself, but I thought it would be best if anyone else did it - could you look at these diffs ( [1] and [2]), and decide whether that warrants a DYK-credit? If you think it does, could you please add {{DYKmake|Andrine Hegerberg|Mentoz86|subpage=Andrine Hegerberg}} to prep2? Thank you. Mentoz86 ( talk) 21:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset. We almost always agree on everything. I often get an edit conflict only to find that you've just said or done exactly what I was going to say or do. But we apparently do have a rare difference of opinion. In Template:Did you know nominations/A Cure for Pokeritis, it was pointed out to me that you seemed to interpret the rules to disallow a hook of a form which I think is okay. Am I interpreting your interpretation of the rules correctly, and you would not allow that original hook? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:39, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
P.S. Sorry to bother you on Glee premiere night.... MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:41, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello! I see that you've posted twice on my talk page encouraging me to "respond" to the reviews and comments on the DYK nomination page. I'm not sure what I should say exactly; I think the comment that the article is too US-centered is valid, and I don't think I can do much to fix it at the moment. I'm very pleased to see the improvements that Orlady made, and I hope that they or something someone else can add will allow the article to pass muster as a DYK, and if not, I don't think I can fix it currently. If there's something else I can contribute to the conversation there, please let me know what it is; I'm new to this process. Thanks for your work guiding the nomination process along! Bryanrutherford0 ( talk) 20:43, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Please brief me about the latest update — can we nominate recently passed GA at DYK? Tito☸ Dutta 23:14, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
I am interested to nominate your name as an admin, please see latest comment at WT:DYK. See WP:Admin, WP:RFA etc for details. Your edit stats maty be seen below. I have nominated 2 editors so far User:Bgwhite and Ekabhishek — both were successful, but, I am not an admin.
Tito☸ Dutta 13:37, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
I'll have a look at reviewing some dyks if it will help. Here's a thought: whenever I look at the DYK review page it seems like all the obvious pass/fails are gobbled up very quickly by experienced reviewers and the tricky ones get left hanging around. It's not the most welcoming place: the last time I started a review it was finished by someone else while I was still in the process. Maybe the more experienced reviewers could crack the hard nuts and let noobs cut their teeth on the easy ones. Tigerboy1966 16:09, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, I was intending to review the ALT1 hook you suggested at the Erema DYK nomination but now have a question that I hope you can help with, please: Is it okay to copy a plot section? I can only see snippet views of The Academy, page 446 on google books but see the first column here [3], middle column here [4] and first column here [5]. I realise the publication date is 1877 and, unusually for a 'plot' section, an inline source is given but does that make it okay?
While I'm here bothering you, here's another query: I did a quick fly-by review at this DYK nomination on 29 September requesting inline cites and a QPQ. Despite leaving a message on Maury Markowitz's talk page the same day, it's still outstanding - would you mind giving them an additional prod about it? Maybe it's been abandoned though as some seem to have been in the past? SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:08, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Y'know how I said that you often tend to say or do exactly what I would've said or done? Well, I just wanted to point out the latest example. When I saw that the Schippers hook had finally been approved, I thought that the ideal place for it to appear at the proper time in the Netherlands would be the lead spot of Prep 4. Although I had not written any of the articles or reviews, I had a minor, tangential, ancillary role in the nomination and didn't want the slightest appearance of impropriety, so I didn't promote it myself. It didn't surprise me at all when I saw that you had done it. Thanks for this and for everything else you do around here! MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:34, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Could you have a look at this one and see if my comments are acceptable?-- Laun chba ller 12:28, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Note this had already been moved to prep when someone came by to fuss about block [6]. I don't see how you can stand being involved with DYK so intensively. It's a madhouse. You must have some kind of genetic immunity. Can you fix this? EEng ( talk) 17:00, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Remember way back I said the two articles should be merged? (sigh) I only glanced at the debate over "new content" vs "GA" content for DYK, but I will never understand why there's reward system (an article listed at DYK is certainly a little thrill) that drives articles toward goals about 30 degrees off of the GA-FA trajectory:
I don't know if you remember me from Template:Did you know nominations/John Harvard statue (and I forgive the mean things you said about me there) but that was a perfect example. That article was absolutely awful -- complete baloney from ridiculous sources -- painful to read [7]. Here [8] its creator / nominator wants material removed from the article because citation needed tags might cause a holdup at DYK. So everyone else is supposed to leave an article in a wretched state because someone's eager to get a notch in his DYK belt. (Here's what the article looks like now, BTW: John Harvard (statue)). Meanwhile, poor Launchballer with his short (but otherwise fine) article gets a hard time because it's not long enough. Why not drop the 5-day requirement and let things be nominated when they're ready? It's all so silly. EEng ( talk) 21:44, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello BlueMoonset. This was a picture hook but it doesn't appear as such in the Queue. It is my first hook with a picture so I am not aware of any possible reason for its removal. Since I find that you moved the hook to preparation area, so thought to ask you. -- SMS Talk 08:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello BlueMoonset. I can continue reviewing the article if there are no objections on that.-- Jetstreamer Talk 00:44, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi mate! I think you helped out with some advice on my last DYK and I've not had a lot to do with DYK since and am still working it out. Can you have a look at {{ Did you know nominations/Kit houses in Michigan}}? It seems to be the only one on its day not to have been reviewed but maybe I've done something wrong and it isn't showing up properly? If it's fine and someone will get to it eventually, that's okay - I'm not in any rush. But I didn't want to just leave it there without checking. Cheers, Stalwart 111 01:49, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for all the excellent and constructive comments. The measured approach to contentious issues is certainly something I am in awe of (and something I wish to work on for the future). Thank you. AbstractIllusions ( talk) 04:49, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Since you do not want to take DYK credit, you can nominate it at GA. I'll add two more paragraphs in :Kife in India section right after the DYK. -- Tito☸ Dutta 04:16, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
On 14 September 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ryder Lynn, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Ryder Lynn, a character created for The Glee Project winner Blake Jenner in Glee's fourth season, is set to be a starring role for the show's upcoming fifth season? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ryder Lynn. 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. |

Bluemoonset,
If I didn't believe this was not a DYK ready article, I would not be here. Nevertheless, I need someone who is willing to check the article. I appreciate Nikkimaria's efforts, however, she does not have access to much needed offline sources. Once again I will happily say that I have checked every sentence meticulously, almost to the point of memorization, just so that this article can move forward. BlueMoonset, I request a neutral reviewer to check out this article. I especially hope that the reviewer have access to offline sources. Proudbolsahye ( talk) 14:15, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Would you be willing to promote a set of DYK hooks? Rosiestep has requested Goaribari Island become her 1000th DYK. Currently she has 998 DYKs with number 999 having recently been promoted to Prep 4. I have now approved Template:Did you know nominations/Goaribari Island. To help comply with her request, I am now asking several DYK regulars for assistance in promoting the Goaribari Island hook. Thank you for any assistance you can provide, or for you consideration if someone else responds before you see this message. -- Allen3 talk 02:46, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, I have a DYK nomination that has been sitting this week and was wondering if I could ask you to take a look and potentially provide a review to get it going again? Thank you. Hmlarson ( talk)
Hello BlueMoonset, First, thank you for teaching me how to nominate an article for a GA review. I've already fixed the typos and several errors in the page text and I've added the GA nominee template to the talk page of the article. If you're willing to review it, I'd appreciate it.
Second, congratulations on your Glee-related work. ρedro talk 11:34, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, as an experienced DYK reviewer, could you kindly offer your opinion on the suitably of the DYK hook proposed at Template:Did you know nominations/Fury of the Congo. I think there may also be a problem with rule C6, but I'm not really sure. Thanks, Sasata ( talk) 19:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. After you promoted the hook for Ada and Andrine Hegerberg, I realized that I forgot to add myself with a {{DYKmake}} for the Andrine article. The article was originally created and nominated by another editor, and I jumped into the nomination by adding her sisters article and improving the other one aswell. I could have added the DYKmake to Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2 myself, but I thought it would be best if anyone else did it - could you look at these diffs ( [1] and [2]), and decide whether that warrants a DYK-credit? If you think it does, could you please add {{DYKmake|Andrine Hegerberg|Mentoz86|subpage=Andrine Hegerberg}} to prep2? Thank you. Mentoz86 ( talk) 21:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset. We almost always agree on everything. I often get an edit conflict only to find that you've just said or done exactly what I was going to say or do. But we apparently do have a rare difference of opinion. In Template:Did you know nominations/A Cure for Pokeritis, it was pointed out to me that you seemed to interpret the rules to disallow a hook of a form which I think is okay. Am I interpreting your interpretation of the rules correctly, and you would not allow that original hook? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:39, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
P.S. Sorry to bother you on Glee premiere night.... MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:41, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello! I see that you've posted twice on my talk page encouraging me to "respond" to the reviews and comments on the DYK nomination page. I'm not sure what I should say exactly; I think the comment that the article is too US-centered is valid, and I don't think I can do much to fix it at the moment. I'm very pleased to see the improvements that Orlady made, and I hope that they or something someone else can add will allow the article to pass muster as a DYK, and if not, I don't think I can fix it currently. If there's something else I can contribute to the conversation there, please let me know what it is; I'm new to this process. Thanks for your work guiding the nomination process along!

Please brief me about the latest update — can we nominate recently passed GA at DYK? Tito☸ Dutta 23:14, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
I am interested to nominate your name as an admin, please see latest comment at WT:DYK. See WP:Admin, WP:RFA etc for details. Your edit stats maty be seen below. I have nominated 2 editors so far User:Bgwhite and Ekabhishek — both were successful, but, I am not an admin.

I'll have a look at reviewing some dyks if it will help. Here's a thought: whenever I look at the DYK review page it seems like all the obvious pass/fails are gobbled up very quickly by experienced reviewers and the tricky ones get left hanging around. It's not the most welcoming place: the last time I started a review it was finished by someone else while I was still in the process. Maybe the more experienced reviewers could crack the hard nuts and let noobs cut their teeth on the easy ones. Tigerboy1966 16:09, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, I was intending to review the ALT1 hook you suggested at the Erema DYK nomination but now have a question that I hope you can help with, please: Is it okay to copy a plot section? I can only see snippet views of The Academy, page 446 on google books but see the first column here [3], middle column here [4] and first column here [5]. I realise the publication date is 1877 and, unusually for a 'plot' section, an inline source is given but does that make it okay?
While I'm here bothering you, here's another query: I did a quick fly-by review at this DYK nomination on 29 September requesting inline cites and a QPQ. Despite leaving a message on Maury Markowitz's talk page the same day, it's still outstanding - would you mind giving them an additional prod about it? Maybe it's been abandoned though as some seem to have been in the past? SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:08, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
Y'know how I said that you often tend to say or do exactly what I would've said or done? Well, I just wanted to point out the latest example. When I saw that the Schippers hook had finally been approved, I thought that the ideal place for it to appear at the proper time in the Netherlands would be the lead spot of Prep 4. Although I had not written any of the articles or reviews, I had a minor, tangential, ancillary role in the nomination and didn't want the slightest appearance of impropriety, so I didn't promote it myself. It didn't surprise me at all when I saw that you had done it. Thanks for this and for everything else you do around here! MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:34, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Could you have a look at this one and see if my comments are acceptable?-- Laun chba ller 12:28, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Note this had already been moved to prep when someone came by to fuss about block [6]. I don't see how you can stand being involved with DYK so intensively. It's a madhouse. You must have some kind of genetic immunity. Can you fix this? EEng ( talk) 17:00, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Remember way back I said the two articles should be merged? (sigh) I only glanced at the debate over "new content" vs "GA" content for DYK, but I will never understand why there's reward system (an article listed at DYK is certainly a little thrill) that drives articles toward goals about 30 degrees off of the GA-FA trajectory:
I don't know if you remember me from Template:Did you know nominations/John Harvard statue (and I forgive the mean things you said about me there) but that was a perfect example. That article was absolutely awful -- complete baloney from ridiculous sources -- painful to read [7]. Here [8] its creator / nominator wants material removed from the article because citation needed tags might cause a holdup at DYK. So everyone else is supposed to leave an article in a wretched state because someone's eager to get a notch in his DYK belt. (Here's what the article looks like now, BTW: John Harvard (statue)). Meanwhile, poor Launchballer with his short (but otherwise fine) article gets a hard time because it's not long enough. Why not drop the 5-day requirement and let things be nominated when they're ready? It's all so silly. EEng ( talk) 21:44, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello BlueMoonset. This was a picture hook but it doesn't appear as such in the Queue. It is my first hook with a picture so I am not aware of any possible reason for its removal. Since I find that you moved the hook to preparation area, so thought to ask you. -- SMS Talk 08:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello BlueMoonset. I can continue reviewing the article if there are no objections on that.-- Jetstreamer Talk 00:44, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi mate! I think you helped out with some advice on my last DYK and I've not had a lot to do with DYK since and am still working it out. Can you have a look at {{ Did you know nominations/Kit houses in Michigan}}? It seems to be the only one on its day not to have been reviewed but maybe I've done something wrong and it isn't showing up properly? If it's fine and someone will get to it eventually, that's okay - I'm not in any rush. But I didn't want to just leave it there without checking. Cheers, Stalwart 111 01:49, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for all the excellent and constructive comments. The measured approach to contentious issues is certainly something I am in awe of (and something I wish to work on for the future). Thank you. AbstractIllusions ( talk) 04:49, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay! It slipped off my radar screen, but I've made the requested changes. Let me know if you would like to see anything else. -- Briancua ( talk) 17:11, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
