Phenotypic disparity[edit]
- ... that birds have greater species richness than mammals, while they are relatively more uniform in morphology?
- Source: Minelli, Alessandro (2019). Biodiversity, disparity and evolvability: "In terms of species number, birds are more diverse than mammals (some 10,000 vs. ca. 5600 extant species worldwide), but are instead quite more uniform in terms of morphology, reproductive biology and developmental schedules."
- Reviewed: I have less than 5 past nominations.
——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race (talk・contribs) 07:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC).
- Approved: Article is new enough (created draft 6 May, moved to mainspace 12 May, nominated 14 May), long enough, every paragraph is cited to a scientific source (I only verified the hook source, AGF on the others), no copyvio detected (I would prefer if the paraphrasing of the hook fact wasn't quite so close), and presentable. The hook is formatted, of good length, cited to a reliable source (verified) and interesting. Image CCSA. I feel that I can make out enough of the image, and if it runs I'm sure it'll be clickbait to see the full-size version. QPQ waived. Will leave some copyedit notes on nominator's talk page.

- @Interaccoonale and Reidgreg: Forgive this non-expert, but I can't understand the hook at all, and I would question whether a broad audience would. I think this needs a simpler hook.--Launchballer 15:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for raising that concern. I'm not sure that this hook fact can be rewritten without either changing the meaning or greatly increasing the wordcount. I'll think on it. Though I believe this is a case where the picture is relevant and helps illustrate the hook's meaning. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Overall: A new article, nominated within the respective period. Long enough. The QPQ is unrequired since you are within your 5 free nomination period, so you can save Template:Did you know nominations/How Long (Paula Toledo song) until you are required to complete QPQs.

No close paraphrasing that I could detect judging from the English sources; I will take it on faith that the Japanese sources were translated to English in a way that doesn't too closely paraphrase the source.

- Article is long enough (5647 characters) and just a day late for a prolific nominator and active volunteer who is usually on time, so using discretion to give it a pass per the rules last time I checked. Article is well sourced and Earwig returns a very low match rate (under 6%), suggesting there are no copyvio problems here. Tone is neutral. Article is tidy. Hook is sourced to two sources including ESPN which quotes her mother who said she cried and cried when doctors told her her baby might not walk very well. The hook is also interesting and jumped out compared to other hooks waiting for review. No images are used. QPQ is done. Good article, good to go. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

- New, long enough, wonderfully written, and interesting throughout; QPQ done. The source apparently verifies the hook (I used automatic translation on the Mongolian text), but I cannot determine the quality of the source, as the publisher is not identified -- if it self-published, as it looks, I have reservations about its usability anywhere in the article, and especially for sourcing the hook. Also, assuming the source is reliable: the hook is fun and all, but the article has much more interesting facts, which seem to be quoted to much more reliable sources -- how about something on his refusal to criticize Genghis? Dahn (talk) 18:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review Dahn! The source may be self-published, but its author, Ishdorj, Ts., was a reputable Mongolian historian. Now, being a 20th century Mongolian historian means that you're not very prominent on Google, but you can still find evidence of his subject-matter expertise at links such as [2] [3] and [4]. He is also mentioned in a New York Times article and was the recipient of a medal for his contributions to scholarship. After finishing the article, I had actually found more details on his avoidance of censorship, and now we have a new paragraph! As for another hook, how about ALT1: ... that Shagdarjavin Natsagdorj's remarks at an academic conference led to a communist purge and contributed to the Sino-Soviet split? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:16, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- I am not doubting Ishdorj's qualifications, but the problem with self-published sources is that they are generally (or universally) below the RS threshold, regardless of who the author is; we generally cannot trust their content to have been edited by anyone, and we technically can't even tell it's an actual article by Ishdorj (it probably is, and as such written in a blog-ish manner, but still...). I won't insist that you remove it from the article, but I would suggest that it should not be used for the front-page hook. Therefore:
- for a very interesting ALT1. Dahn (talk) 20:23, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Three of the sources are unreliable - PBase as a personal website, Humanities for All as a blog post, and Indybay has no editorial process as an "open publishing newswire" that "allows anyone to instantaneously self-publish their work". The first and last sentences of the Design section needs citations. The first sentence under the Use as protest space section needs to be cited. SL93 (talk) 00:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks SL93 for the feedback. I've replaced the PBase citation with a better source, and removed the Indybay citation. I've also added sources for the sentences which were missing them.
I've left the Humanities for All citation up because I believe that although it's a blog article, it's an appropriate source for the statement of "[SJSU] faculty embedded Victory Salute into their Public Art as Resistance project". The blog is written by the Director of Public Programming for the College of Humanities at San Jose State, and describes the history and intent behind the project.

I imagine prep 4 (which hasn't yet been queued) would also probably work as a secondary option given that Pizza Hut is a North American (originating) brand and the flip over would result around 17:00 May 31st for New York. Not terribly attached to either, just food for thought. --TheSandDoctor Talk 16:56, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- I will defer to Z1720.--Launchballer 16:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: figured because that is Pizza Hut's founding anniversary and they're mentioned/related here in the preferred hook. If that isn't strong enough we can bump. Thanks for the work @Xoak:. I would've been on here earlier but time zones put this activity in the middle of the night for me. --TheSandDoctor Talk 16:34, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

David W. Music[edit]
- ... that David W. Music has taught music, composed music, conducted music, and written about music?
- Source: Sourced to his entry in the Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology.

- Comment: The hook gains its interest as an example of nominative determinism. If you think a different hook would be better, let me know.

- ALT0a: ... that David W. Music has taught, composed, conducted and written about music?
- Approved: Article is new enough, long enough, well-cited, presentable, and with no policy issues detected. QPQ waived. Hook is formatted and of good length. Hook fact cited in article (will assume that when he "led" a Sacred Harp sing ["directed" in source] this is equivalent to "conducting"). This is roughly verifiable from the summary preview of the subscription-required online source. Hook is interesting. Could probably do an alternate about the nominative determinism, but for non-April Fools, I don't think it'd be any more interesting than ALT0 which is excellent. I put up ALT0a just so the promoter can see them side-by-side, I think the slight repetition of phrasing in ALT0 (while less concise) makes for a better hook. All good! – Reidgreg (talk) 02:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I'm an IP user so I think I can't approve the overall DYK, but just a heads up that I'm a Korean speaker and I verified that both hook 1 and ALT1 are supported by the sources given. I'll give a slight comment that I'd prefer ALT1 be worded as "... that Ryu Sung-hyun (pictured) will become the first Korea National Sport University student athlete to compete at two Olympic Games?" Think the meaning of this is slightly clearer and it's slightly more concise. I prefer the main hook to ALT1 though; think it's more interesting. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 07:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input. I have changed the wording on ALT1. I was trying to figure out how to emphasize that he is competing in two Olympics while enrolled in the school- there are multiple alumni who have competed in multiple Olympics. -Riley1012 (talk) 12:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: hooks that treat the future as definite are problematic. I'm assuming Ryu Sung-hyun has qualified for the Olympics, but even athletes on their country's Olympic teams sometimes don't end up competing due to injury, illness, accident, or some other complication, so "will" is a problem (see WP:CRYSTAL). Perhaps "is set to become" could be used (though, like the IP user, I prefer the original hook):
- ALT1a: ... that Ryu Sung-hyun (pictured) is set to become the first Korea National Sport University student athlete to compete at two Olympic Games?
- Note that if you want the Olympics in the original hook, you can do so simply by adding "Olympian" before his name. —BlueMoonset (talk) 04:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh, thank you. Thank you for getting that joke because, there are plenty of people on the production team I had to explain that too. (laughs) And then you get people who don’t understand the joke and they go, “Can we cut it?”
