This page is about my work at DYK. This will also help should I require a QPQ for a further nomination. I may review hooks because I have some interest in it after doing my first nomination. I was introduced to DYK because of theleekycauldron and her RfA. I personally never knew this existed until reading her RfA so thank you for getting me into DYK.
Reviews
editThis section will show what I reviewed and also because if I need to use a QPQ for a nomination, this will make it help. If used, they will be crossed out.
a - approved | r - rejected
Template:Did you know nominations/Azahriah[1] - was put on hold until the nom has fixed the issues. That never happened and I rejected the hook after giving it two weeks. (r)Template:Did you know nominations/Eve (Stellar Blade)- a[2]- Template:Did you know nominations/Music Sounds Better with You - a
- Template:Did you know nominations/Interstate 85 in North Carolina - a, but later pulled
- Template:Did you know nominations/Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail - a
- Template:Did you know nominations/Mindustry - a
- Template:Did you know nominations/Accessibility of transport in London - a (was reviewed by someone else until I stepped in to provide an alternative hook)
- Template:Did you know nominations/Schlag den Henssler - a
- Template:Did you know nominations/The Crimson Diamond - a
If there are any that I haven't listed, there is more to find with the what links here feature or my contributions to template space (since DYK stuff uses template space for some reason) although it will also include my nominations and promotions and edits to non-DYK templates.
Nominations
edit- My first DYK nomination is cozy game (DYK nomination template) in which Andrzejbanas made that. I just nominated it within the 7 day period and it was a success! The dates in brackets are when the hook was on the main page.
- "that Animal Crossing: New Horizons sparked a boom in the popularity of cozy games?" (22 April 2024)
- My other DYK is the one for Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly (DYK nomination template). That was my first successful article and my first successful DYK of an article that I made. Can't believe it was exactly a month apart between my first two DYKs!
- "that Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly was released after its main creator of Coffee Talk died in March 2022?" (22 May 2024)
- Although this one went onto the main page, it was removed after 10 hours at WP:ERRORS for various reasons. I didn't think the hook was wrong but that isn't the only reason why it was removed from the main page.
- "that the upgrading of the A9 in Scotland between Perth and Inverness is far from being complete despite its 2025 deadline?" (17 July 2024)
Other noms
- that the construction of the Jubilee Bridge over the River Tay was featured in the reconstruction of the A9 documentary? (19 September 2024)
- "that although the electrification of the Midland Main Line was designated as a high priority in 1981, work to electrify the northern part of the line did not begin until more than 30 years later?" (23 September 2024)
- "that Oxford is the first city in the United Kingdom to adopt a zero emission zone?" (4 October 2024)
Pending noms
editThese hooks will remain here until it reaches the main page
- "that Tiny Glade was the fourth most played demo on 2024's Steam Next Fest?"
- "that the 2024 Talerddig train collision was the first collision in Wales between trains since 1991?" (both nominated 23 October 2024.)
