Hello BlueMoonset, I wanted to stop by and say thank you for all your work on the DYK nominations page. You really do keep the page running smoothly and the page would be a mess without your input. I also wanted to ask you a question as you seem very familiar with all the rules and regs - When a nomination has been reviewed and sent to prep area.. can the hook then be edited by another user without discussion? (I understand small changes for spelling etc. but what about almost re-writing it?) I've noticed an editor doing this and its bothering me but I'm not sure if they are doing anything wrong? Thanks, ツ Stacey ( talk) 10:15, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Don't be afraid to ruthlessly trim hooks of extraneous information and clauses.Generally, there isn't discussion for this sort of thing unless someone objects to the change (or to the original hook) once it reaches a prep area and raises the issue at WT:DYK. If by rewriting, you mean new information is being introduced, that's something that needs to be done with the greatest of care; if it's basically reordering the information, that's less concerning. An important question in all this is whether the hooks have been improved by the edits, or at least not made worse. BlueMoonset ( talk) 20:04, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
I'm on the phone right now, and I mistouched the revert button (I have custom script to revert without moving to "Page reverted, blah blah" page...) and didn't know that. Sorry about that! — Revi 17:01, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Hope you're well. I recently nominated Template:Did you know nominations/Julia Roberts filmography for DYK. It's been reviewed. I specified in the nom that I'd like it to be on January 25.

Hi BlueMoonset. Can I just check with you, I didn't get a DYK credit for Template:Did you know nominations/Paige (wrestler). I still am the top contributor to the article when it passed GA.

Hi BlueMoonset, I took the article and DYK off my watchlist some time ago. I'm pinging OrangesRyellow, as he created the article and may want to take over the nomination.
Oranges, if you do, please remove my name from the nomination and add your own (BlueMoonset, I'm assuming it's okay to do that). Then proceed as you see fit, with that hook or some other. If you don't want to, that's fine, in which case perhaps BlueMoonset could close it as withdrawn by nominator. Many thanks, Sarah (SV) (talk) 00:46, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Now that Brittany Pierce is on season 6 of Glee I think it'd be better to update that article accordingly.

Hello,
In one of my earliest reviews for DYK, I disapproved a nomination that was submitted under the same provisions as I used to nominate the above. The nominator got another reviewer to override my decision; the DYK passed and ran. It was not a 5X expansion, but passed as a "new" article.
I don't understand why unsourced text counts toward the content of an article being replaced, but so be it. It must be valuable enough to preserve, I guess, despite its lack of credibility. Now that I realize that the "new article" loophole only applies to others, I will no longer nominate articles under that rule, but shrug my shoulders over the usual WP bureaucracy.

BlueMoonset, I took your lead from a previous article and nominated Dreams Come True (Glee) to be included on the main page's "Did You Know" section. I did include both of us as "creator" since we seem to have been the main responsible editing parties on the article since its main revision after the episode aired. Since you have more DYK experience than I, perhaps you could look it over and see if it needs any help or to get the QPQ review started. Sorry, I don't have the nice pre-made template that you seem to use. :)

Hi! I saw your comment on Template:Did you know nominations/Military on Gotland. Does that mean that the article can't be suitable for a DYK until the article itself has been reviewed by someone since it is the first article for the user? I have not encountered this practice before when I post DYK nominations. I coached and helped this new user during the entire creation of the article, and when the draft was done I asked them to move it to main. Best, w.carter -Talk 06:55, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

BlueMoonset, I am contacting you to ask that you close Sleaford's GA review due to it bein abandoned and, if possible, retain its place in the list. The review was opened by a very inexperienced editor on the day I nominated the article; his brief comments were clearly insufficient, so I posted at WT:GAN to report the issue. Ritchie333 came forward and said that he would review it [1], which I was very pleased with, given his experience and competence at GAR. The GA Cup had just finished and he was burnt out by it, while I wasn't expecting a review for a couple of months, so it lay, unattended to. It's since received a good copy-edit by an experienced editor, and he seems happy with it too. I've contacted Ritchie to ask whether he's still interested and you recently asked him again at the GAR page; he replied to both, suggesting he'd get to it in about a week [2] [3], but on both occasions that hasn't happened. It's a shame, but I feel that, with his new RFA and one of his own articles being reviewed (a couple of days after it was nominated), it seems unlikely Sleaford will get looked at anytime soon. Therefore, if you wouldn't mind doing whatever you do to close the review but keep its place in the list, that would be much appreciated. Regards, -- Noswall59 ( talk) 09:39, 6 May 2015 (UTC).

Hi BlueMoonset, and thanks for dealing with that situation over there at the GA Help Desk/GAN Talk page. You handled it correctly and I'm glad I didn't have to do it (I've been focused on an FAC at the moment and some other areas and may not be able to spend as much time over there). As you saw, I just handled the "encouraging" part of the process and later I may look at their GAN also (maybe you and I are like "good cop/bad cop", ha). Thanks for everything you do over there, actually. Anyway, I stopped by to give you a heads up about something in case you were interested: Yesterday, I was curious about this WP:TWA thing and I took a moment to ask the creator about our situation: User talk:Ocaasi#Is TWA too encouraging?.

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. I won't be able to review the article. My Wiki time is very sparse and I don't have the time I used to have to devote to GA reviewing. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 00:18, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi - Thanks for reviewing my DYK nom at Template:Did you know nominations/Tygerberg Zoo. The article Tygerberg Zoo now passes the hurdle of being in mainspace, in case you could look at it again. :) -- do ncr am 07:36, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
You're more than welcome to go ahead and revert the Boeing one. Based on his couple reviews it's clear the guy doesn't seem to get how the process works yet. I'd do it but I'm kinda done with GA for some time. Wizardman 14:47, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi! I saw your comment on Template:Did you know nominations/Military on Gotland. Does that mean that the article can't be suitable for a DYK until the article itself has been reviewed by someone since it is the first article for the user? I have not encountered this practice before when I post DYK nominations. I coached and helped this new user during the entire creation of the article, and when the draft was done I asked them to move it to main. Best, w.carter -Talk 06:55, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

BlueMoonset, I am contacting you to ask that you close Sleaford's GA review due to it bein abandoned and, if possible, retain its place in the list. The review was opened by a very inexperienced editor on the day I nominated the article; his brief comments were clearly insufficient, so I posted at WT:GAN to report the issue. Ritchie333 came forward and said that he would review it [1], which I was very pleased with, given his experience and competence at GAR. The GA Cup had just finished and he was burnt out by it, while I wasn't expecting a review for a couple of months, so it lay, unattended to. It's since received a good copy-edit by an experienced editor, and he seems happy with it too. I've contacted Ritchie to ask whether he's still interested and you recently asked him again at the GAR page; he replied to both, suggesting he'd get to it in about a week [2] [3], but on both occasions that hasn't happened. It's a shame, but I feel that, with his new RFA and one of his own articles being reviewed (a couple of days after it was nominated), it seems unlikely Sleaford will get looked at anytime soon. Therefore, if you wouldn't mind doing whatever you do to close the review but keep its place in the list, that would be much appreciated. Regards, -- Noswall59 ( talk) 09:39, 6 May 2015 (UTC).

Hi - I can't recall pulling a DYK hook too many times before. Is there a documented procedure of how to do it other than cut and paste another nomination and hope for the best (which is what I did?) Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:23, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
I thought I saw that "rule" mentioned somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Personally I'm glad to hear that it doesn't exist; IMO it's a terrible rule. -- Jakob ( talk) aka Jakec 16:35, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

If you've got a problem with my review, please complete it yourself. If it's such a problem that I didn't list every single criterion, please just complete it rather than stopping by every couple of days to criticize. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 01:04, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
. . . that you will not object if I complete these reviews before someone else completes begins reviewing them? I am in the process of finishing my comments on Vratislav Lokvenc now.

OK, I understand. Thanks for your prompt reply. I admit I was puzzled by his insistence to nominate an article that was over the seven day limit and wasn't sure where the ten day figure came from. Autarch ( talk) 12:11, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
I was hoping to shoot you an email about something related to DYK that I'd rather not discuss on your talk page. If you don't mind, would it be possible to include your email at Special:Preferences and enable emails from users, at least long enough for me to send a quick one your way? ~ Rob Talk 12:24, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi BlueMoonset, and thanks for dealing with that situation over there at the GA Help Desk/GAN Talk page. You handled it correctly and I'm glad I didn't have to do it (I've been focused on an FAC at the moment and some other areas and may not be able to spend as much time over there). As you saw, I just handled the "encouraging" part of the process and later I may look at their GAN also (maybe you and I are like "good cop/bad cop", ha). Thanks for everything you do over there, actually. Anyway, I stopped by to give you a heads up about something in case you were interested: Yesterday, I was curious about this WP:TWA thing and I took a moment to ask the creator about our situation: User talk:Ocaasi#Is TWA too encouraging?. Best, Prhartcom ( talk) 15:13, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
The article

Hi, BlueMoonset! I saw on the DYK nom for Cincinnati chili that you fixed for me (thanks!) that your edit summary included: fixing...credits (only DYKmake should be used for self-nominations);
I don't know what this means -- I can find a template called DYKmake, but the various instruction pages and rules pages for nominations don't seem to refer to it. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks! valereee ( talk) 16:13, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
