Thanks for taking the initiative on this. This is good stuff so far. 28bytes ( talk) 20:06, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Hmmm, not sure about this, it seems to be mainly a rehash of existing information we have on other pages. I had something a little different in mind. Perhaps I'll do a draft myself, to try and consolidate my ideas, and see what direction that takes. Gatoclass ( talk) 04:50, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Wow, thanks for doing this--it looks very helpful, and I wish I had had a step-by-step walkthrough like this when I was starting out. Two small suggestions: you might mention the rule about x2 BLPs in your criteria to avoid confusing new editors on this clause. And when you write the "finishing" part, I'd suggest encouraging reviewers to make sure they notify nominators about questions at their talk page, since T:DYK is so hard to "watch." Cheers, Khazar ( talk) 15:32, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
If I am not wrong, this 5 days rule means 5 days old on the date of nomination not on the date of reviewing which can be weeks after nomination. If that is true, then I propose to clarify that by changing the above mentioned sentence to:
It looks like there's a new "table" system, and subpages for each DYK, but I've been unable to find where this information was discussed. Could someone point me at it please? -- El on ka 15:38, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
I propose getting rid of the no bare url requirement starting with : "References may not have bare URLs such as". This requirement is tough for new editors, and really is no impediment to following a reference. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 12:56, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
For referencing, is it sufficient if there is a reference at the end of a paragraph or would each sentence which is relevant to the hook need to be referenced separately (with the same reference). This would be relevant for this nomination that I am reviewing at the moment. bamse ( talk) 11:27, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
I have updated the guide following the discussion here. Thincat ( talk) 10:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
I reviewed my first DYK nomination and suggested that a sub-article be made to make the relevance of the hook clearer. That sub-article has now been created and has been added to the first DYK nomination, so this may be a double DYK. But what about the hook in such cases? Must the hook have two catchy points with different references in the two articles for both articles to qualify as a DYK ? Regards, Iselilja ( talk) 14:37, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, can anyone review and approve/disapprove an article for DYK, or do you have to have 'reviewer' status? 98.119.101.103 ( talk) 17:48, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Could I get a clarification of the DYK reviewer's responsibilities? Am I responsible for certifying only the section of the article in which the hook appears? If the rest of the article has neutrality issues that aren't tagged, or copyediting issues, do I have to work on the whole article to the best of my ability? Cynwolfe ( talk) 17:50, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
I complied with the instructions but it doesn't appear. Can someone help me out? I posted on the DYK Check page but did not receive a response, and I'd like to make this work so that I can start doing DYK reviews myself. Without that tool it will be difficult to check expansions. Coretheapple ( talk) 16:10, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
I am new to the DYK process. Back on July 3rd I submitted an article for DYK consideration along with some hooks; soon, another editor proposed some more hooks, and then a reviewer graciously came along and reviewed it, giving the proposal a blue-circle-with-a-backslash (i.e., a "maybe") review— that reviewer and I then interacted to work out the kinks still remaining in the proposal, and six days ago we settled on what we agreed was a good hook for the article... And here we sit. The reviewing guide doesn't (yet) say anything about what is supposed to happen next after a "maybe" review in which the problems have been worked out. Does the reviewer now need to file some sort of review completion? Mark the discussion as somehow closed? Invite additional reviewers to review our discussion and agree or disagree with our conclusions? Is there a bot that will come along eventually and move the nomination along automatically? The proposal is still sitting there, and I am not sure what, if anything, I should be doing myself to move it forward (perhaps waiting really is all I need to do, but again, I do not know). A little help?? Thanks! KDS4444 Talk 06:54, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Noob here; never reviewed a DYK to date. But I just made my 3rd or 4th nom in the past 3 years, so thought I ought to learn how to do it.
I'm a little intimidated, and couldn't quite figure out how to find a good (straightforward) candidate to start, and then what to do. Got a bit confused looking at the DYK/reviewing page.
I wonder if an experienced DYK reviewer might be willing to coach me through the first one, or two? I would appreciate it. If so, maybe just ping me on my Talk page. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 19:19, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi. My nomination of
Petronius Maximus, 21 May, was, I think, approved. It was the reviewers first review, so they commented that they were asking for a second opinion; very wise. I have noticed that they left a
symbol, which I am not sure is going to do what they want it to. I was going to message them, but they are now blocked. Any advice as to what, if anything, I should do? I am quite happy to wait for another reviewer to come by, but a little wary that the way things have been left the nomination will not attract any attention. Thanks.

Because I nominated Shirou Emiya, I had to do a QPQ about another nomination. I did Template:Did you know nominations/Kyler Murray but it appears that wasn't properly nominated. Should I make another QPQ in order to get reviews of my own nomination? Cheers. Tintor2 ( talk) 17:28, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
The instructions say, "It is best if you start with one of the older unreviewed nominations", but what's the best way to find those? My usual process is to start at the oldest date, scan downward until I get bored of looking for an unreviewed one, then just jump to the newest end because I know I'll find one easier. That's clearly sub-optimal. Is there something like Category:DYK submissions pending review that I'm just not seeing? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:36, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
@ Amakuru: Sorry, I am not aware with the formalities, neither whom else to ping, neither where to post my question. I think that in the current version the image of the Golden Retriever should do a bit more "stating of the obvious" and say Golden Retriever with fowl or the like. At low resolution screens, this is not trivial to recognize for the reader. -- KnightMove ( talk) 08:47, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
Under the Finishing the review section there's a link to DYKUpdateBot which is currently out of service. –– FormalDude (talk) 23:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
