Improved to Good Article status by Bodney (talk). Nominated by Trillfendi (talk) at 15:48, 29 June 2020 (UTC).

— It has been more than 7 days after passing GA. (Promoted on June 19 but it was nominated on 29 June). ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 14:17, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Ouch. Only three days. @Evrik and Yoninah: Sorry to ping you two, but you have the most DYK experience of anyone I know. Is this a hard rule that must block a nomination, or can it be overlooked given that someone other than the improver nominated it?

For what it’s worth, I’ve had other DYKs pass even when it had been slightly longer than a week, such as 10 days. Trillfendi (talk) 15:20, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Everyone is allowed a lapse now and then. I think we can IAR this. @CAPTAIN MEDUSA: you can proceed with your review. Yoninah (talk) 15:41, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

(edit conflict) IMHO: We should hereby follow the rules. I think it creates a huge mess, for eg, "so that was approved so why not mine". It easily becomes an ugly mess. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 15:44, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: If the problem is that the article is huge, I'm happy to do the review. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 15:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Psiĥedelisto, That's not the problem, all I think is that it creates a mess. I can still do the review (if desired). ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 15:51, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

It is a rule, but we overlook three days all the time. --evrik ^(talk) 15:54, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

I suggest changing For DYK purposes, a "new" article is no more than seven days old. To avoid creating confusion between editors. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 16:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

An RfC might be a good idea, CAPTAIN MEDUSA, but it should not hold up consideration of this nomination. They can run concurrently. Consensus is that the lapsed period can be overlooked in this case. A broader RfC can and perhaps should happen, but we can move forward on this without that given the consensus here. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 07:29, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:19, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

GA received 10 days before nomination (IAR on the nomination date). New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Images in article are freely licensed. QPQ done.
ALT0 is the better hook, but the word "clashed" is lifted from the source; the other source says "interfered". I edited the sentence in question to remove the close paraphrasing. What other wording would you like to suggest? Yoninah (talk) 20:39, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Coincided? Trillfendi (talk) 22:40, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Nice, thanks. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:35, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
