I quite enjoyed ALT1 but it's not really correct @Tails Wx and PSA: the source includes the quote "the sea lion remained inside the zoo, never breaching the zoo’s secondary perimeter" and is clear that she only managed to escape her enclosure. I've thus struck the hook; it will need rephrasing as ALT1a if it is desired that it runs. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:30, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
I am unable to replicate what you are seeing even on an extremely large monitor of 89x48cm with the browser window filling the whole monitor. Does anyone else see this problem? I suspect this is something in your settings or preferences rather than something that a problem that needs to be fixed. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 16:34, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think this is a me problem because my settings are all standard, and even testing changing the Thumbnail size in preferences to the highest and lowest settings still generates the same problem on Andrena. Other editors are free to opine.--Launchballer 17:08, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Overall: A newly promoted GA which received an appropriate review during the GAN. Overall, everything looks good for ALT0, which I think is definitely the strongest option. I'd make a few tweaks to the wording, though, to make it more concise, define "pie" (since it's not that common as a verb), and remove the identity of the thrower (which doesn't add much as not too many readers will know who he is). That leaves us with ALT0a: ...that an environmentalist threw a pie in the face of the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist? If that works for you, this should be good to go.

  • My first thought reading the hook was "my sphincter, the games were released in 1996!". The hook should make it clear that the games were in fact released then - simply adding "the 1996 games" will take the hook above WP:DYK200, so something else will have to give.--Launchballer 07:15, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the mention of the year of release is so important that it needs to be added, the hook is centered on the kimono and I'm already specifying that it's the game's 25th anniversary. The hook is long enough as it is. - OtharLuin (talk) 07:24, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, which means as written the hook implies they were released in 1997! That said, I am a huge Pokémaniac (even to the point I spent much of the pandemic writing Pokémon-themed fanfiction, which at some point I should rewrite from scratch) and perhaps I'm being too overprotective. An actual reviewer can adjudicate on this.--Launchballer 07:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Was this a limited-time promotion or now ongoing/continual? "Since the January 2022 sumo tournament, gyoji can be seen" makes it sound like the latter, while the sources give the impression that they were only talking about the one tournament. If it was just for a limited time then we should rephrase and use past tense. Adumbrativus (talk) 19:26, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No limit in time. The Japan Sumo Association made a set of kimono to celebrate the anniversary but gyoji can still be seen wearing the said pokémon-inspired kimono in the ring today. (another source) - OtharLuin (talk) 22:03, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Where does the year 2006 for Manama Club come from? (this has 2006 but question the reliability, while asia-basket says 2007 and says they were runner-up in 2007) ... I think adding the first asia-basket source would help unless a more detailed one can be found.
    • Is HoopDirt really a reliable source?
Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:19, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hameltion: Hmm... I had thought 2006 from Nola.com: "At LCC International, Hollowell oversaw the program in its first two years of existence, starting in 2007, where he led the team to playoff appearances in both seasons. Before joining LCC, in his only season with the Manama Sports Club, he led his squad to an appearance in the Championship series despite losing their best player." I though "before joining LCC [in 2007]" kind of implied that Manama was the year before, but I guess that's not necessarily the case – I think changing it to 2007 with the asiabasket source would work. As for HoopDirt, it seems to say that it is "Founded, monitored, and run by college coaches." Not sure. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BeanieFan11: My guess is that he was coach for the 2006–07 season, but there's no source that says it directly. I'd add the asiabasket source and just mention the one year we do know, 2007; the hook works either way. Re HoopDirt, I found a couple RSes citing it (WP:UBO) and my concern was mostly just sparked by the site's style. Hook is interesting and passably verified, QPQ present.
