Created by Joyce-stick (talk). Self-nominated at 02:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

  • Welcome to DYK, Joyce-stick! This article is new enough and long enough. You did not need to review another article as you have nominated fewer than five pages for DYK (this is #1).
  • The hooks are interesting and cited. The sources check out and are in the article.
  • I note that there are two citations to We Got This Covered. The reliable sources list notes that this site is generally unreliable due to its lack of editorial oversight, publication of unsubstantiated or false rumors, speculation claimed as fact, and contributions accepting from non-staff contributors. Consider replacing citations to WGTC. (I actually recognize the writer of the two WGTC pieces from their Super Smash Bros. days...!)
  • There are no other textual issues.
  • The image is freely licensed and appropriate for use on the Main Page.
  • Note that footnotes go after periods (I fixed this using a script).
Let me know when the WGTC sources are replaced or otherwise removed, and I will approve this page. 🏳️‍⚧️ Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:37, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can I recommend a different image? --evrik (talk) 20:52, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Copyright status of images[edit]

I've opened a deletion discussion on Commons to sort out the copyright status of images of Blåhaj. If these end up being deleted, one image would probably be acceptable to be hosted on enwiki under WP:NFCC. pinging people in relevant discussions/with relevant edits: @Amakuru, Arconning, LilianaUwU, Brainulator9, and Therapyisgood: Elli (talk | contribs) 01:08, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You beat me to it, lol. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 01:12, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Might as well ping those who took part in the DYK nomination above: @Joyce-stick, Sammi Brie, and SL93. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 01:31, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that sounds correct. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 07:10, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If any image should be used, it should be this one and/or this one as they are yet the highest quality photos displaying the full toy from an ideal angle. I'd also make a case that this image, if protected under copyright, may be fair use, but since the primary subject here is an interior of an IKEA store, and not the toy itself, it may very well not be considered a WP:DERIVATIVE work, since as the FAQ says, photos of copyrighted buildings are fine. I would also strongly argue for this image to be retained, as it has encyclopedic value, demonstrating that the toy is popular enough for IKEA to prominently display it in the lobby of one of their stores and thus giving greater credence to its claim to notability. (It's also just a good picture!) Joyce-stick (talk) 10:25, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When is the deletion discussion closing? Its been like a month and nothing have been deleted or kept. Roostery123 (talk) 06:11, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No idea. Just waiting for the commons admins to say something. To my knowledge, however, nothing is precluding us from uploading an image of the shark on enwiki as a fair use example now, so I suppose if you want to try to do that then feel free. ostensibly singular userpage (inquire within) 07:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Klappar Haj" listed at Redirects for discussion[edit]

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Klappar Haj and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 6#Klappar Haj until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Smolhaj[edit]

Should it be added that the smaller version is colloquially referred to as "Smolhaj"? One could argue it's not important, but I'd argue it is. 174.83.14.34 (talk) 04:16, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. we'd have to be careful though, because as far as i know, that's only a nickname used by some people in the community, and is not been used as an official product name by IKEA. i might be wrong however, as i have not done a ton of research into blahaj beyond finding where i can buy one :). If we put that in, i'd recommend keeping it in the "In Culture" section. Tantomile (talk) 05:44, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
People have tried to add it several times and it's been repeatedly reverted because no one ever gave a reliable source for its inclusion (and I never found one when searching myself). But if one was provided, I'd support mentioning it. silviaASH (inquire within) 09:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. From a quick google search, it seems like "Smolhaj" does not appear on Ikea's website, and the top result is reddit. If we can find a reliable source however, i think it'd be a great addition to the article. Tantomile (talk) 17:38, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
