Remembering that we did themed sets for the FIFA Women's World Cup last year, I thought of an idea for a themed set of hooks: the 2024 Summer Olympics take place from July 26 to August 11 this year (in a little over five weeks) and I think there will probably be a decent number of Olympics-related hooks; I at least plan to write a good number of them. I was thinking we might be able to do something like one Olympics hook per day for the duration of the event, similar to how we did for the FIFA World Cup. Thoughts?

Just noting here that Zhang Ziyu has been nominated. Whilst she does play basketball and China is competing in that discipline at in Paris, she's not (yet?) a member of the China women's national basketball team. Hence, we could use this as another warmup hook. Schwede 66 05:01, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Red-tailed hawk, is there a good reason why you pulled the Solomon Islands at the 2020 Summer Olympics hook out of the special occasion holding area (SOHA) and put it into prep 4? Because if there isn't a good reason, I'd like to see this reverted. Schwede 66 00:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
The Paris Olympics will be kicking off on 26 July 2024 with an opening ceremony in the early evening. Event competitions start two days earlier on 24 July with association football and rugby sevens. The closing ceremony (article yet to be written!) is on 11 August. That's 19 days of Olympics and as suggested above, we could run Solomon Islands at the 2020 Summer Olympics as a warmup just before that period.
There'll be some special date requests coming in and to avoid filling up individual hook sets with too much sport, I suggest we co-ordinate what will run when to spread things out in a logical fashion. I suspect that we'll stay in a 24-hour cycle for the duration of the event but if that changes, we can accommodate that as well. Time zone–wise, Paris is currently at UTC+02:00 ( Central European Summer Time or CEST), hence there are no mental gymnastics necessary as long as we stay in the 24-hour cycle. Comments welcome. Helpers are welcome and essential; I certainly don't want to do this all by myself as this was quite a bit of work some three years ago for the Tokyo Olympics. And with regards to my own special interests, I shall tell you that the Kiwi rowers are in good shape; I can hear the medals clinking already! Schwede 66 01:20, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

---|---|---|---|---|---|
2024 European Athletics Championships – Women's 400 metres hurdles ( nom) | none | 21 July | Prep 5 | This hook names Femke Bol who is due to compete in Paris. We have a second (double-)hook that names here, hence I suggest we run this as the first warm-up hook to put as much time between the two appearance of Bol as possible. This would lend itself as the picture hook as we've got a good photo. | In prep |
Breaking Through (2022 film) ( nom) | none | 21 July | Prep5 | The film deals with real events around the 2002 Winter Olympics, hence it's an ideal warmup hook. | In prep |
Zali Steggall ( nom) | none | 22 July | Prep 6 | 1998 Olympic skier | In prep |
Ri Jong-yol ( nom) | none | 22 July | Prep6 | One of the warm-up hooks; can run on any date before the Olympics start | In prep |

René Heyde ( nom) | none | 23 July | Prep7 | One of the warm-up hooks; can run on any date before the Olympics start. | In prep |
Toby Olubi and Can't Touch This ( nom) | none | 24 July | Prep 1 | One of the warm-up hooks; can run on any date before the Olympics start (24 is in fact the first day of competitions but we haven't got anything for that day yet). This double-hook has already had its admin checks done (by Cwmhiraeth) | In prep |
Zhang Ziyu ( nom) | none | 24 July | Prep1 | Plays basketball for China but isn't part of their Olympic team, hence suggested as a warm-up hook (24 is in fact the first day of competitions but we haven't got anything for that day yet) | Under review |
Twice a Man (film) ( nom) | none | 25 July | Prep 2 | ... that Olympia Dukakis's first screen role was in the avant-garde film Twice a Man?That's got to be a brilliant Olympics hook. |
In prep |
Angling at the 1900 Summer Olympics ( nom) | none | 25 July | Prep2 | One of the Olympic warmup hooks. | Review not yet started |
List of petitions calling for Israel to be banned from sports ( nom) | none | 26 July | Prep 3 | Unsurprisingly, this article mentions the Paris Olympics numerous times. I suggest we run this to coincide with the opening ceremony, but it could run on any Olympic day.Prep3 | Under review |
Camil Doua ( nom) | none | 26 July | Prep3 | Doua is competing in the men's 100 metre freestyle and the heats will be on 30 July. Problem is that we have two hooks for that date already. As Doua is flagbearer for Mauritania, the opening ceremony date is a perfectly viable alternative. | Under review |
Fathimath Dheema Ali ( nom) | none | 27 July | Prep 4 | The women's table tennis singles prelim round starts on 27 July | At SOHA |
Evann Girault ( nom) | none | 27 July | Prep4 | Girault is going to compete in men's sabre, and that competition is held on 27 July (from elimination to finals; all on one day) | At SOHA |

Aminata Barrow ( nom) | None | 28 July | Barrow will compete in women's 100 metre breaststroke, with heats on 28 July | At SOHA | |
Lorrane Oliveira ( nom) | 28 July | 28 July | Oliveira will compete in women's artistic team all-around, with qualifications on 28 July. That's the third hook for that day. The nominator says that the team will most likely make it to the finals, to be held on 30 July, but we've got two hooks for that day already, so that's not a good alternative. | At SOHA | |
Suriname at the 1960 Summer Olympics ( nom) | none | 29 July | One of the "foo at the YYYY Summer Olympics" hooks; can run on any day during the Olympics | At SOHA | |
Adam Maraana ( nom) | 29 July | 29 July | My preference would be for this hook to run on 28 July, when the heats and semi-finals in 100 m backstroke will be held. Problem is that we have three Olympic hooks for that date already. Given that he's quite good, there is a chance that he'll make the final on 29 July. Hence let's take the gamble and go for that day. | Review not yet started | |
Alyssa Mendoza ( nom) | none | 30 July | Assuming that she is still featherweight, the women's 57 kg boxing competition begins on 30 July with the round of 32. | At SOHA | |
Shachar Sagiv ( nom) | none | 30 July | Men's triathlon is scheduled for 30 July starting at 8:00 | Under review | |
Andy Barat ( nom) | none | 30 July | Barat is going to compete in the men's slalom K-1, and that competition has its heats on 30 July. That's unfortunately the third article for this date. | Under review | |
Dylan Travis ( nom) | none | 31 July | The first USA men's 3x3 game is on 30 July. Subsequent games are on 31 July, 1, 2, and 4 August if that date gets too crowded. | At SOHA; this hook has already had its admin checks done (by RoySmith) | |
2024 United States men's Olympic basketball team ( nom) | 28 July | 31 July | The U.S. team plays in the preliminary round on 28 and 31 July and on 3 August. We already have too many hooks for 28 July, so any of the other two options will work better. | At SOHA | |
Marcedes Walker ( nom) | None | 1 August | Walker is going to compete in the women's 3x3 basketball competition and they are playing a round robin round-robin tournament from 30 July to 3 August, playing every day. Hence, there's heaps of flexibility moving this hook around to suit. | Review not yet started | |
Solomon Islands at the 2020 Summer Olympics ( nom) | none | 1 August | One of the "foo at the YYYY Summer Olympics" hooks; can run on any day during the Olympics | At SOHA | |
American Samoa at the 2020 Summer Olympics ( nom) | none | 2 August | One of the "foo at the YYYY Summer Olympics" hooks; can run on any day during the Olympics | At SOHA | |
Emily Ausmus ( nom) | none | 2 August | Ausmus is competing in the women's water polo tournament in Group B, with preliminary round games held on 27, 29, and 31 July, and a game on 2 August. Any of those dates are suitable. | Under review | |

Jenya Kazbekova ( nom) | none | 6 August | Kazbekova is due to compete in women's combined sport climbing, with semifinals for the two competition elements (boulder and lead) split over two days: 6 & 8 August. Hence, this can run on either date. | At SOHA | |
Liechtenstein at the 1936 Summer Olympics ( nom) | none | 7 August | One of the "foo at the YYYY Summer Olympics" hooks; can run on any day during the Olympics | Under review | |
Ruby Remati ( nom) | None | 7 August | The team artistic swimming event will be held on 5, 6, and 7 August. The hook could run on any of those days. | Review not yet started | |

We've got a bot that updates the nom talk page when a hook is changed after promotion. Would it be possible to make it also notice if the lead image changed? There's currently a bit of contretemps at WP:ERRORS because I failed to ping somebody when I updated an image. If we could automate that, it would be nice :-) RoySmith (talk) 21:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
I recently nominated this article for GA status and it's currently under review. I'm planning to nominate it for DYK once it passes. However, if the GAN passes before July 13, that would be just outside the six-week requirement for SOHA. My plan was to request a special occasion hook for August 24 (her birthday). If for example, the GAN finishes before the 13th, would it be okay to ask for an IAR exemption for August 24? Of course, this IAR exemption request would be moot if the review is completed after the 13th, I just wanted to make sure. I'm just asking ahead of time if an IAR exemption can be requested because, if it can't, I'm okay with it running as a regular hook. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 09:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd like some others to comment at Template:Did you know nominations/Zhang Ziyu. Not sure what the best way to handle this is. The issue is this particular athlete in known for being tall, but there are discrepancies about what her true height is, and the nominator put forward a specific height for the hook. Not sure what the best way to handle this is both within the article's prose and in the hook. Best. 4meter4 ( talk) 16:52, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

The previous list is badly out of date, so I've created a new list of 36 nominations that need reviewing in the Older nominations section of the Nominations page, covering everything through June 27. We have a total of 240 nominations, of which 110 have been approved, a gap of 130 nominations that has decreased by 39 over the past 13 days. Thanks to everyone who reviews these and any other nominations!

One of our main page articles has a maintenance tag right now, 2022 Brink's theft Bruxton ( talk) 02:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
I took a stab at promoting my first prep to queue today in light of the backlog. In doing so, I swapped out the hook for Three-phase Israel–Hamas war ceasefire proposal with one from another prep area:
My first thought is that the article is subject to substantial editing as the situation evolves, especially if the original proposal ultimately falls through. Indeed, the article has changed considerably between the original nomination on 18 May and promotion to prep on 5 July: [1]. Additionally, I feel that the hook is not very catchy, merely stating that the proposal has three phases (at face value, splitting a major project or plan into phases is nothing out of the ordinary). It's in prep area 7 now (from which I "borrowed" a replacement hook), but I'm unsure whether these concerns are fixable or whether the hook has to be pulled entirely. Especially since this is my first time doing this, any feedback would be appreciated. Complex/ Rational 20:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
article has changed considerably between the original nomination on 18 May and promotion to prep on 5 July"? @ User:Launchballer reviewed it on 09:20, 5 July 2024 and presumably did not find any issues with it. As for catchiness, I guess that's subjective. Do you suggest re-opening the discussion on that basis? VR (Please ping on reply) 23:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Anything that's related to Israel is potentially controversial. We have List of petitions calling for Israel ban from Sports ( nom) up for review.

@
JuniperChill,
Sammi Brie, and
BeanieFan11: May I suggest shortening this to that the radio station at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire would close in the middle of the day
? Leave a little mystery. Get people wondering "Why did they do that?" so they'll click through to learn why.

That the radio station at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire would go off the air in the middle of the day. That's more accurate to the wording in the article. "Closing" for a radio station could mean they close the doors and stop conducting business, but they're still broadcasting. Most listeners would never know. Off the air is more significant, and as a bonus, more correct. RoySmith (talk) 01:56, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I just approved this nomination, choosing a hook fact that seemed rock solid according to the sourcing, rather than the subject's main claim to fame of being the first (or only?) Orthodox Jewish college football player. However, given that his main claim to fame is his Orthodox Jewish beliefs, I was wondering if either of these options, which have qualifiers, could be acceptable:
Given the whole brouhaha about "first" hooks recently, and the possibility of either claim being wrong, I understand if this isn't the fact that ultimately runs. I just wanted to bring both options here for a wider hearing to see if either could meet the higher scrutiny we now have for "first" hooks, or if it's for the best to go with alternatives. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 00:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
This is in okay shape, but the nominator was indef blocked for copyvio. Earwig turned up fine to existing sources, but there is a Hebrew-language source I can't check. I would like a second set of eyes on this one. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:57, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
@ AirshipJungleman29, A Thousand Doors, and Sammi Brie: I raised this issue on the nom page, but now that it's been promoted, it needs wider attention. The problem is not just the "first" aspect, but the vagueness of "broken the law". There's lots of laws. What does it mean to "break the law"? If you drop a candy wrapper on the street, you've almost certainly broken some law about littering. This is just begging to be dragged to WP:ERRORS. RoySmith (talk) 16:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Lorrane Oliveira ( nom) | 28 July | 28 July | Oliveira will compete in women's artistic team all-around, with qualifications on 28 July. That's the third hook for that day. The nominator says that the team will most likely make it to the finals, to be held on 30 July, but we've got two hooks for that day already, so that's not a good alternative. | At SOHA | |
Suriname at the 1960 Summer Olympics ( nom) | none | 29 July | One of the "foo at the YYYY Summer Olympics" hooks; can run on any day during the Olympics | At SOHA | |
Adam Maraana ( nom) | 29 July | 29 July | My preference would be for this hook to run on 28 July, when the heats and semi-finals in 100 m backstroke will be held. Problem is that we have three Olympic hooks for that date already. Given that he's quite good, there is a chance that he'll make the final on 29 July. Hence let's take the gamble and go for that day. | Review not yet started | |
Alyssa Mendoza ( nom) | none | 30 July | Assuming that she is still featherweight, the women's 57 kg boxing competition begins on 30 July with the round of 32. | At SOHA | |
Shachar Sagiv ( nom) | none | 30 July | Men's triathlon is scheduled for 30 July starting at 8:00 | Under review | |
Andy Barat ( nom) | none | 30 July | Barat is going to compete in the men's slalom K-1, and that competition has its heats on 30 July. That's unfortunately the third article for this date. | Under review | |
Dylan Travis ( nom) | none | 31 July | The first USA men's 3x3 game is on 30 July. Subsequent games are on 31 July, 1, 2, and 4 August if that date gets too crowded. | At SOHA; this hook has already had its admin checks done (by RoySmith) | |
2024 United States men's Olympic basketball team ( nom) | 28 July | 31 July | The U.S. team plays in the preliminary round on 28 and 31 July and on 3 August. We already have too many hooks for 28 July, so any of the other two options will work better. | At SOHA | |
Marcedes Walker ( nom) | None | 1 August | Walker is going to compete in the women's 3x3 basketball competition and they are playing a round robin round-robin tournament from 30 July to 3 August, playing every day. Hence, there's heaps of flexibility moving this hook around to suit. | Review not yet started | |
Solomon Islands at the 2020 Summer Olympics ( nom) | none | 1 August | One of the "foo at the YYYY Summer Olympics" hooks; can run on any day during the Olympics | At SOHA | |

Emily Ausmus ( nom) | none | 2 August | Ausmus is competing in the women's water polo tournament in Group B, with preliminary round games held on 27, 29, and 31 July, and a game on 2 August. Any of those dates are suitable. | Under review | |

Jenya Kazbekova ( nom) | none | 6 August | Kazbekova is due to compete in women's combined sport climbing, with semifinals for the two competition elements (boulder and lead) split over two days: 6 & 8 August. Hence, this can run on either date. | At SOHA | |

We've got a bot that updates the nom talk page when a hook is changed after promotion. Would it be possible to make it also notice if the lead image changed? There's currently a bit of contretemps at WP:ERRORS because I failed to ping somebody when I updated an image. If we could automate that, it would be nice :-) RoySmith (talk) 21:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
I recently nominated this article for GA status and it's currently under review. I'm planning to nominate it for DYK once it passes. However, if the GAN passes before July 13, that would be just outside the six-week requirement for SOHA. My plan was to request a special occasion hook for August 24 (her birthday). If for example, the GAN finishes before the 13th, would it be okay to ask for an IAR exemption for August 24? Of course, this IAR exemption request would be moot if the review is completed after the 13th, I just wanted to make sure. I'm just asking ahead of time if an IAR exemption can be requested because, if it can't, I'm okay with it running as a regular hook. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 09:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd like some others to comment at Template:Did you know nominations/Zhang Ziyu. Not sure what the best way to handle this is. The issue is this particular athlete in known for being tall, but there are discrepancies about what her true height is, and the nominator put forward a specific height for the hook. Not sure what the best way to handle this is both within the article's prose and in the hook. Best. 4meter4 ( talk) 16:52, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

The previous list is badly out of date, so I've created a new list of 36 nominations that need reviewing in the Older nominations section of the Nominations page, covering everything through June 27. We have a total of 240 nominations, of which 110 have been approved, a gap of 130 nominations that has decreased by 39 over the past 13 days. Thanks to everyone who reviews these and any other nominations!

Please remember to cross off entries, including the date, as you finish reviewing them (unless you're asking for further review), even if the review was not an approval. Please do not remove them entirely. Many thanks! BlueMoonset ( talk) 04:26, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
One of our main page articles has a maintenance tag right now, 2022 Brink's theft Bruxton ( talk) 02:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
I took a stab at promoting my first prep to queue today in light of the backlog. In doing so, I swapped out the hook for Three-phase Israel–Hamas war ceasefire proposal with one from another prep area:
My first thought is that the article is subject to substantial editing as the situation evolves, especially if the original proposal ultimately falls through. Indeed, the article has changed considerably between the original nomination on 18 May and promotion to prep on 5 July: [1]. Additionally, I feel that the hook is not very catchy, merely stating that the proposal has three phases (at face value, splitting a major project or plan into phases is nothing out of the ordinary). It's in prep area 7 now (from which I "borrowed" a replacement hook), but I'm unsure whether these concerns are fixable or whether the hook has to be pulled entirely. Especially since this is my first time doing this, any feedback would be appreciated. Complex/ Rational 20:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
article has changed considerably between the original nomination on 18 May and promotion to prep on 5 July"? @ User:Launchballer reviewed it on 09:20, 5 July 2024 and presumably did not find any issues with it. As for catchiness, I guess that's subjective. Do you suggest re-opening the discussion on that basis? VR (Please ping on reply) 23:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Anything that's related to Israel is potentially controversial. We have List of petitions calling for Israel ban from Sports ( nom) up for review. I'd like to run this as part of the Olympics set (currently scheduled for 26 July). Could I interest someone to review the nomination, please? Schwede 66 00:48, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
@
JuniperChill,
Sammi Brie, and
BeanieFan11: May I suggest shortening this to that the radio station at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire would close in the middle of the day
? Leave a little mystery. Get people wondering "Why did they do that?" so they'll click through to learn why.

That the radio station at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire would go off the air in the middle of the day. That's more accurate to the wording in the article. "Closing" for a radio station could mean they close the doors and stop conducting business, but they're still broadcasting. Most listeners would never know. Off the air is more significant, and as a bonus, more correct. RoySmith (talk) 01:56, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I just approved this nomination, choosing a hook fact that seemed rock solid according to the sourcing, rather than the subject's main claim to fame of being the first (or only?) Orthodox Jewish college football player. However, given that his main claim to fame is his Orthodox Jewish beliefs, I was wondering if either of these options, which have qualifiers, could be acceptable:
Given the whole brouhaha about "first" hooks recently, and the possibility of either claim being wrong, I understand if this isn't the fact that ultimately runs. I just wanted to bring both options here for a wider hearing to see if either could meet the higher scrutiny we now have for "first" hooks, or if it's for the best to go with alternatives.

This is in okay shape, but the nominator was indef blocked for copyvio. Earwig turned up fine to existing sources, but there is a Hebrew-language source I can't check. I would like a second set of eyes on this one. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:57, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
@ AirshipJungleman29, A Thousand Doors, and Sammi Brie: I raised this issue on the nom page, but now that it's been promoted, it needs wider attention. The problem is not just the "first" aspect, but the vagueness of "broken the law". There's lots of laws. What does it mean to "break the law"? If you drop a candy wrapper on the street, you've almost certainly broken some law about littering. This is just begging to be dragged to WP:ERRORS. RoySmith (talk) 16:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
