Overall: DYK tool was reading earlier versions of the article and not showing 5k. WP:5X clearly specifies the last version of the page before expansion, which occurred a week after the removal of the WP:BLP-violating material, so I think we're good on that front. The article cites ellesse-en for some of the hook, but you have The Face here (which also supports it). Personally, I feel like The Face may be more reliable than a commercial clothing store that featured her as a model. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:23, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- A few more referencing comments: Could not get a DOB on her Instagram post (WP:ABOUTSELF allows this, but I'm only seeing 'late 20s' at the source); the Danny Lomas podcast could benefit from {{cite podcast}} (the minutes, for example; one shouldn't need to review a 57 minute podcast); Bristol Post reference is underformatted; not sure about the reliability of Planet Woo. These aren't part of the DYK nom per se; please think of them as pre-GAR comments. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Replaced the Ellesse-en source with The Face. If you scroll down on Instagram you should see her comment "gentle reminder my birthday is this saturday". The podcast should have a button saying "Transcript", which is what I used. Planet Woo is a media brand belonging to ITV, although I've just read on a press release that "the team behind VICE, i-D, Boiler Room and LADbible" founded it and WP:VICE has them in yellow. I'm not using it for anything controversial though, just an interview and attributed opinion.--Launchballer 08:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

- The fact does sound interesting, but unfortunately, according to Fletcher M. Green in "Duff Green, Militant Journalist of the Old School," Duff Green "denied that he was armed or that he gouged Sparhawk's eyes," and it doesn't help that it was Sparhawk who made the original charge. There's not much of a way to prove that this for sure happened, so a different hook might need to be picked unless I can for sure confirm that this truly happened.

Overall: @Relativity: Nice work. ALT0 is good. I'm not sure ALT1 works however as the source only says that it is Arnold's only monument on American soil whereas the hook seems to apply to all American traitors. I also thought of another potential hook that might be decent: ... that a boot is the only monument in the United States to traitor Benedict Arnold because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"? That would require another reviewer, though. Let me know what you think; but ALT0 is good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

New enough (5x expansion), long enough, well-written. Image is appropriately licensed as far as I can determine. QPQ is done. The hook is interesting and supported by an inline citation but not supported in its current format by what is written in the article. The article is a bit ambiguous on this point. On the one hand it asserts that "[...] it also simulated an amphibious landing in Poland, as well as - and most controversially - a nuclear attack against Poland (hitting Warsaw)." In my reading, this is a claim that the exercise did in fact contain such a simulation. Later, however, it is stated that "Other sources noted that the exercise involved nuclear-capable ballistic missiles (Iskander), but not necessarily a simulation of a nuclear attack on another country." I think this could be easily solved by re-phrasing the first sentence, but it should be resolved before I give the green light. Otherwise all criteria are fulfilled. Yakikaki (talk) 19:34, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Yakikaki: Can I trouble you to suggest an alt hook with a revised wording that I can then review and adopt? I am not sure what exact minor wording change you suggest, but I am pretty sure I'd be fine with it and I'd propose it myself if I wasn't too tired to figure it out myself now. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Alt 1a ... that Russian and Belarussian Zapad 2009 military exercise about repelling a NATO attack might have included simulated nuclear strikes on another country?
- @Piotrus and Yakikaki: thoughts? --evrik (talk) 17:08, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- There's nothing wrong with the original hook, and Alt 1a doesn't solve the problem. The issue, which I think is very easily fixed, is that the article isn't clear on the point whether it might have included a simulated nuclear strikes on another country, or whether it in fact did. That needs to be clarified. I can then greenlight it. Yakikaki (talk) 18:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yakikaki, The article cites the sources; some of which say this happened and some which are more cautious. Not sure how to word it better than what we already have, both in the hook and in the article. If you think you have a better wording, be bold. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
I fixed it for you. You'll need another reviewer to do the review again, though. Yakikaki (talk) 14:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Article is new and long enough. Sourcing looks good though Earwig found a handful of word-for-word similarities with "theage.com.au" source. A minor issue with each of the proposed hooks: ALT0 says that Williams was Victoria's most high-profile prisoner - the body of the article supports that but the sources seem to claim he was just a high-profile prisoner. ALT1 says they threw feces at a member of the jury but the article and sources only say "excrement". Both hooks are interesting however. QPQ is not required so just need hooks fixed and that should be all. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- @PCN02WPS: Thank you for taking the time to review! I have reworded the article in most cases where Earwig's Copyvio Detector identified an issue but I think a lot of it falls under WP:LIMITED, or are quotes. Let me know if this needs to be addressed further. In paragraph 249 of that source, it mentions Williams as the "highest profile prisoner in Victoria".

- Since this is a two-article nomination, you need a second QPQ. The hook, article conditions, and eligibility check out, and I don't see any evidence of copyvio. You do need to bold the linked terms, however. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 21:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information @Generalissima:. Sorry I missed that if two articles are nominated at once it needs two QPQ. Thanks for fixing my formatting errors. I have another review in progress for Cora Babbitt Johnson. I'll try to review another nomination in case it takes longer than I anticipate. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 03:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- @MtBotany: You don't need to wait for the previous review to completely finish before using it as a QPQ, as long as you have done your due diligence in the initial check for the article. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 03:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Another thing for me to learn! Educational evening. Thanks for your attention. I should still do one so I have an extra in my back pocket for next time. I'm looking at improving other plant articles for DYK in time for their blooming seasons. The meadow death camas in my garden are up and getting energy, they will be blooming in Colorado in about a week and I'm seeing current year observations on iNaturalist 🌿MtBotany (talk) 03:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Generalissima: Can this be approved? If not, what needs to happen to get it approved? Z1720 (talk) 14:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, yes. This can be approved now. My bad for not stating so. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 14:13, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Generalissima: If this is approved, can you add the green tick under this comment, so the DYK bot can moved this to the approved list? Z1720 (talk) 15:43, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oops. Added. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 15:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- @MtBotany, Generalissima, and Z1720: There are too many images on both pages and these are interfering with the table of contents. Can something be done about this?--Launchballer 12:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Launchballer, you're going to have to be more specific. Breaks how? I've looked at the pages on both windows and mac machines and I cannot see anything wrong. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 16:21, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- I use a standard widescreen monitor and some of the images are to the right of the references, which means there's an unslightly block of whitespace - granted "presentable" is far too nebulous a DYK criterion to be useful but I would suggest some of these should be moved to a WP:GALLERY or moved to the Commons (i.e. removed from the article).--Launchballer 16:51, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Nxdia[edit]
- ... that the Egyptian-Sudanese singer Nxdia took the "queer anthem" "She Likes a Boy" into the UK Singles Sales Chart? Source: https://diymag.com/feature/the-neu-bulletin-c-turtle-fraulein-sailor-honeymoon

General: Article is new enough and long enough |

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, it is neutral and well sourced. Earwig picks up a bit of a quote, but otherwise no close phrasing, so all OK. QPQ is done. Hook is interesting, but I couldn't see a reference to the Singles Chart in the source - could you clariy the chart part of the hook? Thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 16:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- My mistake, I kept rewording the hook. Try [7].--Launchballer 18:15, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Launchballer - hook is good (& citation archived here), all OK Lajmmoore (talk) 09:13, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer and Lajmmoore: am I missing something, or is the hook just not that interesting? Is there nothing better than "... that a singer sung a song which appeared (fairly low) on a songs chart?" ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- The interesting bit is "queer anthem", given that neither Egypt or Sudan are known for positive attitudes to homosexuality.--Launchballer 06:09, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- I suppose. Why is she called English in the lead then? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Because I assumed that she was until I wrote the article, and forgot to take that bit out. I think there's some MOS dictum that says nationality should be left out of the first sentence altogether, so that's what I've done.--Launchballer 01:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- My mistake, I just read MOS:BIOFIRSTSENTENCE and it says to include it. It now says "Egyptian alt-pop musician of Sudanese descent".--Launchballer 09:20, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
