DYK discussion moved from main portal talk page
[edit]The following ones are mine. We've got some more I didn't write and I'll dig those up. This needs to be culled a little: smocking and Navajo rug are scheduled for rotation as highlighted article and the Felbrigge Psalter image is scheduled for rotation as an image. There might be a couple of others like that; I'll double check. DurovaCharge! 05:12, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Notes
[edit]Links to WP:Recent additions, or a link/Diff to their appearance at T:DYK, will be helpful in setting these up. Don't worry about repetition if some of the above are also selected pictures/articles, etc. - in my opinion there will be enough randomization that this won't be an issue. Cirt (talk) 05:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- We could still use any related free-use image in the portal with the DYKs - even if it wasn't one that appeared at T:DYK - so long as the hook appeared there. Cirt (talk) 05:49, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, do you still need me to look up precise diffs for the rest of those DYKs? DurovaCharge! 23:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Everything I crossed off is done. After that latest one above gets up successfully at T:DYK, we'll have a total of 6 sets of 3. Cirt (talk) 23:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Great additions; it's good to have a mix of textile maufacturing in with the handcraft DYKs. And now we are 10. Thanks for all your work here, Cirt! - PKM (talk) 19:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

More DYKs
[edit]Anna Maria Garthwaite (created 25 April 2008) is nominated for DYK and has a pretty good shot at making the cut, I think. - PKM (talk) 21:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Kewlness, keep us posted. Cirt (talk) 22:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Got it.
- I started Portal:Textile Arts/DYK/13 but I can't figure out the trick for getting the number-date link for the active DYK archive - where do I find that?
- Two more needed to complete the next set. - PKM (talk) 03:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Nice work. When the archive isn't there yet, I just use a direct link/Diff to the time it appeared at T:DYK. Cirt (talk) 03:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
