Hey BlueMoonset,
I'm not sure if there's been an uptick in reviews that, for whatever reason, cannot/will not be finished, or if I've simply begun to notice it more, but one thing I think would help with those long-term second opinion tags, would be to create a separate mechanism for needing a second reviewer, rather than a second opinion. The second opinion function seems, largely, geared towards allowing newer reviewers to bring in a more experienced reviewer, or else someone more familiar with the subject matter, at least according to the GAN instructions; I don't really think this takes place in practice, from what I've seen at least. It seems a lot more like most second opinions are review takeovers, rather than confirming with a third party that the article meets standards. I can understand the thinking behind not returning unfinished reviews to the pool, but I only ever really looked into second opinion requests within my own subject areas. I was thinking that there could be use in introducing a new type of review status "second reviewer", in order to truly put them first in the queue.

Hello @ BlueMoonset, Coming from here, I won't to confirm if the 7 days you refer to starts counting from the date the article was moved to mainspace or purely from the date it was created whether from draft or sandbox. I ask this because I usually create articles in my sandbox before publishing in mainspace. Thank you. Princess of Ara 14:15, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
I've been running into a problem recently with building prep sets—often times, a nomination will have an image and only one hook, for which the hook is reliant on the image to be interesting. (i'm sure you're familiar with this, what with you being dyk's yoda.) Lots of these images are ones I wouldn't normally include in a prep set, but I feel compelled to promote them to lead or at least leave them in DYKNA for someone else to decide—because I don't want to unnecessarily screw the nominator by promoting their hook in a position where it won't get more than 700 views. I want to talk this through with you before I go to WT:DYK—how would you feel about a suggestion or guideline that says that any nomination with an image should have at least one hook that can be reasonably interesting independently of the image? If this has been discussed before, could you point me to a rough place and time to find it? theleekycauldron ( talk • contribs) ( they/them) 08:05, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Good evening, I'm drawing your attention to a discussion that may interest you - you commented on the GA Music categorisation aspect. Ignore if no longer a concern. Best... Acous mana 00:16, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the cleanup on the Cyclotron talk page. Do you know why the GA review was deleted? Did the reviewer just decide they weren't into it after all? There were some reasonable suggestions in there, but before I could get back to address them (stupid day job) the whole thing was gone. PianoDan ( talk) 15:49, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, thanks for your comment here. There actually was a request made at WT:GAN -- it's now archived here -- and also separately at WT:GA. Obviously the fact that the article is about a highly technical subject is one of the stumbling points. (It sat around after being nominated for something like 6 months before Daniel Case took it on.) I don't know how to mark a review for a second opinion, but perhaps that would help? Or, uh, you know, if you're not too busy yourself ... ;). -- JBL ( talk) 14:42, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, BlueMoonset! So, I was hoping to get some community consensus to automate some DYK tasks so I can go to WP:BRFA, but it looks like the discussion fizzled out. I want to bring it to RfC to get consensus one way or the other; but should I just leave it alone?

Hi, we seem to be well stuck with this one, and I didn't even nominate the article... I'm quite unclear why you should have pinged Buidhe as he's an FAC person. Anyway, I don't think he's correct about those two hooks as Tolkien (and Lewis) have reached a mass audience, even people who never read them have heard of them, and the hooks don't presuppose the reader has even heard of Elendil until this moment. His remarks imply to my ear that he thinks that Elendil is non-notable, in which case the right forum is AfD, not DYK, but the article is impeccably cited to multiple RS... Anyway, suggestions for how to proceed would be welcomed (even new wording, actually). Many thanks for your help, as always. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 17:08, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

I would know that I have caused you trouble more often than I should have by not completing my reviews in a timely manner of late. And every time I left a review open for an unusually long period of time, you were there to politely nudge me back to it, and I am thankful for that. You have been doing that — amongst other important work in the background — for a long while, and it is honestly an underrated aspect of all the good that you do on this project. You have also been an editor I trust and rely on for a wide variety of topics, and I know that that is true for a lot of others. Thank you for doing the grunt work that is needed, on top of all the recognizable efforts that you already make. You are an amazing and valuable contributor to this project. — The Most Comfortable Chair 19:14, 29 April 2022 (UTC) |
Hi BlueMoonset, I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board. Cheers, and hope to see you around, ( t · c) buidhe 20:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC) |

Thanks @ BlueMoonset, I would be pleased to have inputs / guidance from Amakuru, this reminds me about National Women's Day, that too seem to be March 2021 article, I suppose it would be wise to have thoughts from the article creator Pharos on this topic hence requesting them too join in this discussion if possible.
Thanks and warm regards
Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' ( talk) 05:27, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Once again greetings, @ BlueMoonset & @ Amakuru: as per your guidance I checked sources for my self once again and decided to retain writing style of title National Women's Day where as about changed '1983 Women's March, Lahore' to 1983 women's march, Lahore after a little more grammar discussion @ WP:RD/L. Accordingly made changes in the DyK. Besides I have added more shorter hook options that too may address some of your concerns. And still if any further corrections to the DyK are needed then feel free to make yourself or guide me, I will improve accordingly.

Hi there BM. I'm just wondering if you could provide some input at Template:Did you know nominations/Marlene van Staden?

I'm not so sure I think D1 should be there; if the SGs are meant to be the "unwritten rules", why have them repeat what's already on WP:DYK? theleekycauldron ( talk • contribs) (she/her) 06:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
It seems like we should be moving to two sets a day soon with 122 approved hooks and almost everything filled, if not already. I'm not sure if the discussion on the DYK talk page has stopped it, but that is getting nowhere with the last !vote being on December 24. I'm not sure what the best option is, but having an overload of nominations is not a good idea because it could break something. The WikiCup starts soon as well which will likely bring in even more nominations. SL93 ( talk) 03:25, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

You have also been an editor I trust and rely on for a wide variety of topics, and I know that that is true for a lot of others. Thank you for doing the grunt work that is needed, on top of all the recognizable efforts that you already make. You are an amazing and valuable contributor to this project. — The Most Comfortable Chair 19:14, 29 April 2022 (UTC) |
Hi BlueMoonset, I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board. Cheers, and hope to see you around, ( t · c) buidhe 20:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC) |

Why did you remove the GA review for Greece–Turkey relations? What was problematic about the review? Elias ( talk) 22:17, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
I remember the article being GA, although my thoughts may deceive me. I still wish to seek the GA Nomination for Senator Stevens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mycranthebigman ( talk • contribs) 19:55, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
You had suggested to avoid caps in the article titles. Can you guide which of following versions will be better.
Thanks and warm regards

Thanks @ BlueMoonset, I would be pleased to have inputs / guidance from Amakuru, this reminds me about National Women's Day, that too seem to be March 2021 article, I suppose it would be wise to have thoughts from the article creator Pharos on this topic hence requesting them too join in this discussion if possible.
Thanks and warm regards
Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' ( talk) 05:27, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Once again greetings, @ BlueMoonset & @ Amakuru: as per your guidance I checked sources for my self once again and decided to retain writing style of title National Women's Day where as about changed '1983 Women's March, Lahore' to 1983 women's march, Lahore after a little more grammar discussion @ WP:RD/L. Accordingly made changes in the DyK. Besides I have added more shorter hook options that too may address some of your concerns. And still if any further corrections to the DyK are needed then feel free to make yourself or guide me, I will improve accordingly.
Thanks and warm regards Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' ( talk) 12:53, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I see that this Middle-earth article isn't one of my GANs! It's been languishing in the queue since March. Unfortunately I did a small bit of editing on it a while back, so I'm not sure if I can review it... what d'you think? Chiswick Chap ( talk) 15:20, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi there BM. I'm just wondering if you could provide some input at Template:Did you know nominations/Marlene van Staden? I'm never quite sure where to take nominations with a query over notability, so thought I'd just ask somebody else for an opinion. Regards, Gatoclass ( talk) 14:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, BM - Cwmhiraeth referred me to you re: my request to close a GAR that's been open 4-1/2 mos. FunkMonk just re-reviewed it and I made the updates per his suggestion. Thanks in advance, Atsme 💬 📧 00:50, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Agree with your comments at ANI although I'm not going to join in there, the pile on is extensive enough as is...my somewhat limited interaction with DC during the GAN of James Hood Wright confirms many of the issues in contention. Regards, Goldsztajn ( talk) 22:58, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm not so sure I think D1 should be there; if the SGs are meant to be the "unwritten rules", why have them repeat what's already on WP:DYK? theleekycauldron ( talk • contribs) (she/her) 06:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
It seems like we should be moving to two sets a day soon with 122 approved hooks and almost everything filled, if not already. I'm not sure if the discussion on the DYK talk page has stopped it, but that is getting nowhere with the last !vote being on December 24. I'm not sure what the best option is, but having an overload of nominations is not a good idea because it could break something. The WikiCup starts soon as well which will likely bring in even more nominations. SL93 ( talk) 03:25, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I promoted Template:Did you know nominations/9 January 1917 German Crown Council meeting to Prep 6, now Queue 6. That was my first ever promotion to prep. Should I have tagged it as a special occasion hook for 9 January and if so how? TSventon ( talk) 13:47, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
I just want to apologize for nominating the article without agreement from other editors who have significantly contributed to the article. I have now posted a talk page message, so you can go and either support or oppose the nomination. Thanks! MasterMatt12 💬 ● Contributions 00:17, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
You see, this is an article I've wanted to improve for years, because of its relationship to Phineas Gage, and this nom has introduced new sources that will really help. But it will take a period of concentration, and it's really true about my mom. I'll be with her about two weeks starting tomorrow, and there will be some quiet time then. I promise.
