  • ... that The House of Bijapur (pictured) has been called a "painted curtain call" since the dynasty it depicts was overthrown only a few years later?
  • Source: Hutton, Deborah (2016). "Memory and Monarchy: A Seventeenth-Century Painting from Bijapur and its Afterlives". South Asian Studies. 32 (1): 22–41. ISSN 0266-6030. Thus, within a few years of the paintings completion, the sultanate it celebrated was gone. Stuart Cary Welch, in characteristically evocative prose, called the work ' a painted curtain call ': the main characters appearing together for one last ovation before the play ended and the stage went dark.

  • The article is new enough, long enough and the hook proposals good, particular the first one. They are also supported by inline citations. However, stylistically the article needs work. I would say it currently fails the presentability criterion. The lead section does not summarise the article. The "Significance" section starts abruptly, stating it is larger than ordinary manuscript pictures, but until now the reader hasn't even been informed it IS a manuscript picture. The "Description" section starts like this: "In the middle is the principal subject; The painting depicts eight of the nine rulers of the Bijapur Sultanate; leaving out only Mallu Adil Khan, whose reign lasted for only seven months." Why the semi-colons? These are just a few immediate points I spotted. I think the nominator should go through the article and bring it up to common Manual of Style standards before we can proceed with this nomination. Let me know when you have done so and I will take another look. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 15:35, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tidied up the article a bit. Expanded the lead, removed the semicolons, and added some information regarding the painting's status as a (presumed) manuscript picture.AmateurHi$torian (talk) 11:39, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Jonathan Deamer, review follows: I measure the article at 1,526 characters when quotes are excluded so just long enough; article was created on 8 December; a QPQ has been carried out; inline citations used throughout; sources look to be reliable enough, I guess "Lyndsey Ingram" is a gallery website? It's only used to cite a couple of basic biographical facts so I think is OK; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing from what I could read of the sources (noting that the Times is subscription-only); Hook is interesting enough; I can't access the source cited for the competition wins, can you provide an extract? Also per the rules it would need a duplicate citation straight after the fact int he article (first sentence in "Career" section) - Dumelow (talk) 13:26, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dumelow Thanks for the thorough and helpful feedback. Correct, Lyndsey Ingram is a gallery. I've added the website of Maple's publisher as an additional source for these biographical facts, which may be marginally better? I've added the citation straight after the appropriate sentence (oops!). Are you able to view The Times source at archive.org? I've added this archive link, and a quote within the cite, to the article too. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 18:42, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 6 is PD, but outside the large quote, enough of the text is paraphrased to count towards size; otherwise no copyvio issues or anything that needed to be rewritten.

While checking the copied "peoples of Canada and the Netherlands", I discovered that both Powell refs are redundant, so I've merged them. Reservation made six weeks in advance, right at the six-week limit. Leaning ALT0. AGF the Dafoe ref; speaking of...

    Sources are all reliable and verified/AGFed. To be safe I needed to verify the reliability of Atlas of Extinct Countries given its comedic-like nature and it checks out: CNN says it's "meticulously researched but written for genuine laughs", Asian Review of Books says "brief, often humorous summaries not intended to provide a comprehensive, scholarly examination of extinct countries", and Cartographic Perspectives says "descriptions of the territorial entities are often anecdotal, meant as much to amuse as to inform ... I found myself searching the internet for articles on these places, both to verify the more ludicrous claims presented in Defoe’s writing (they all check out)" and that there are cited sources (albeit "on a marginally-related tangent").

    Image is freely licensed, but it's a photo of a tilted photo, so I've submitted a Graphic Lab request at Commons; I can hold this for until the request is done. @Reidgreg: once these issues are fixed, you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 22:01, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Reidgreg: Graphic Lab is done, but upon closer look, the image should be fine at 120px since one can tell there's a baby being held by a military officer, enough to match the context. Fix the one issue and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 23:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Miraclepine: Thanks for the quick and thorough review, and for the image improvements. Addressing the (other) red X first, the date of the proclamation, I've added "Veen1979" as suggested (I kept the original citation as Veen doesn't mention George VI).
    Re: the first/only time a foreign flag flew at the Peace Tower, I added "Tanweer2021" which has only. Is that sufficient (it's 3 years old)?
    re: the myth, "Veen1979" (which only mentions one room) is the one good source which describes the myth as a myth. Here are two reliable sources which are examples of reportage of the myth as truth with more than one room:
    • People, 1 Feb 1943 "In Ottawa, in a hospital suite declared Dutch territory for the day, to Crown Princess Juliana had been born [...] Margriet"
    • New York Post 20 June 2021 "Once Princess Juliana entered the third floor of Ottawa's Civic Hospital to give birth to Princess Margriet, Canada declared the maternity ward part of the Netherlands".
    One can readily find additional unreliable sources. I wasn't sure about citing sources which report incorrectly. Thoughts? – Reidgreg (talk) 00:21, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Both are good, and I fixed the Tanweer ref to show "as of". WP:NYPOST is WP:GUNREL, but it's being used as a primary source in the context of the myth, so the principle of ABOUTSELF will apply here; same for the People ref, which is reliable per RSP. Add them if you want. In the meantime, ALT0 approved. ミラP@Miraclepine 00:50, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Approving first hook only. Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. No copyright violations detected. Both hook facts are reasonably interesting and are an appropriate length. The first hook has no issues and I can tick yes on that. However, there are some minor verifiability issues with the alt hook that should be easily fixed. To begin with the hook fact is not actually on page 44, but occurs later on page 46 and again on page 51. Secondly, the source uses the word tortoise (which is what is in the hook), but the article says turtle. They are not exactly the same thing (although tortoises are a specific type of turtle). Ping me once those issues are fixes and I can approve the alt hook, but no big deal if we just go with the first hook. Best.4meter4 (talk) 00:26, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, it's on page 46; that was a mistake on my part. As for the tortoise-turtle issue, there is another source which states that the animal was a turtle. The actual language of the manuscript is Dakhni, and like Urdu/Hindi, the word for tortoise and turtle is probably the same, ie. کچھوا or kachua. In any case, hook 1 is fine by me, and thanks for the review :) AmateurHi$torian (talk) 11:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • New enough, long enough. This is very well written and it is supported by source, interesting hook and article, QPQ done.
    The only issue is I feel like this is on the edge of NEVENT (or NCRIME, I guess?) sourcing-wise and some may raise questions as to the notability of this. The main claim to notability here is the Vice piece, which has its own considerations, though I would accept it for this case. There is an academic mention cited here but from how it's cited here I can't tell how significant it is, but is probably sigcov. Otherwise all the coverage is questionable when it comes to WP:LASTING.
    I would vote keep on this at AfD and wouldn't take issue with it personally, given the depth of coverage and the academic mention, but I do feel like this is going to get AfDed once it has left the main page (but will probably survive). Also, I am unsure how I feel, but I feel others may have issues with this hook as it relates to the DYK provision of not running unduly negative hooks about living people on the main page, since this involves crime and the bone thief in question is not a public figure. So I will ask for a second opinion. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the review, PARAKANYAA! NEVENT was a big consideration when we were deciding whether to write this article, but a few factors tipped it over the edge for us. First, the incident led to the state of Louisiana passing a new law, so that's basically ripped out of WP:LASTING. In terms of persistence of coverage, the incident was brought up again when TikTok had a similar controversy six years later, there's some pretty decent retrospective analysis about what state Tumblr was in 2015 and how it compared to TikTok in 2021. As for the spread of coverage, I think the Vice, Washington Post, Intelligencer articles are pretty deep dives from nationwide publications, in addition to the local papers that cover more of the local aspect. Happy to let Tamzin or uninvolved people weigh in here, but I think a closer inspection makes a pretty good case for an NEVENT pass. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 09:24, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I actually didn't think about the law, which I do agree makes this a better case, though I'm still not fully confident someone won't take issue with it. Even apart from that the BLP aspect of this hook does seem like the kind of thing that someone, rightly or wrongly, would bring up at WP:ERRORS. I think more thoughts on it would help, given how many discussions the "unduly focused on a negative aspect of a living person" bit has resulted in. PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:32, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I don't know if we can do anything about the "wrongly" half there, but WP:DYKBLP is pretty clear about what it covers: "hooks that unduly focus on negative aspects of living persons". Mx. Darling is known exclusively for one thing, and that's their role in this controversy, so I think that's satisfied. We're also not naming them in the hook, nor mentioning the legal proceedings in it, nor is the name we use in the article their legal name. (That name shows up in a minority of sources, so we judged it better on privacy grounds to only use their other name.) I don't think you're wrong to speculate that this might get objected to or AfD'd, because some people are bad at assessing notability of pop-culture articles; I'm just not sure what else we can do to mitigate what's more a systemic problem in DYK and Wikipedia. Not really trying to disagree with you on anything here, PARAKANYAA; just explaining how I see it. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 09:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's convincing. I do have the same interpretation of DYKBLP, but there seems to be a minority interpretation that applies more broadly that I see around. People may take issue with this one, but I believe it abides by our policies. So I will approve this (though if other people would chime in with their thoughts that is of course welcome).

Earwig shows a 37.1% similarity to the source, which I believe is due to the direct quotations from the What's on Weibo review, so it should not be a concern. One thing I would like to nitpick is that it is better to avoid citing Weibo, as it is a social media platform. While I understand that the articles you cited are from the accounts of media outlets, it would be more ideal to cite the original articles directly rather than their reposts on social media. For instance, source 2 could be replaced with this url to Sohu Entertainment[4]. But this is not a critical issue that would prevent the article from moving forward.

    Overall: Everything seems to be alright, but I'm just a tad concerned about the length, which is merely 11 characters more than the bare minimum requirement. KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 10:50, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks @Kingoflettuce, that's a fair point. I've now expanded the article to just over 1800 characters prose excluding quotations. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 12:35, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Lajmmoore, review follows: article moved to mainspace on 11 December and exceeds minimum length; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from sources in a spot check, Earwig score is skewed by quote and names of awards etc.; two QPQs have been provided; hook fact is not overly exciting to me but probably interesting enough; hook fact is mentioned in article and checks out to source cited; I am in two minds as to whether we should add "previously" in front of "described" as the comment was made when she was serving in a different role, happy to leave it up to you and/or the promoter/admin - Dumelow (talk) 12:55, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Step by Step (Braxe + Falcon song)

    [edit]
    (
    )
    • ... that for their debut single "Step by Step", the French touch music duo Braxe + Falcon created a "downtempo ballad with acoustic drums" in divergence from the traditional French house club-style music?
    • Source: https://www.musicradar.com/news/braxe-falcon-interview – "We finished Step By Step first and that was an important song for us because it’s a downtempo ballad with acoustic drums. We didn’t want to come back with your typical French house 125bpm format – we’ve done that already and are not excited by that type of music anymore, so we felt it was crucial to push this kind of track as part of our first collaborative project."

    • I'll take on this one, to pay it forward on how quickly my first DYK nom got reviewed.
    General: Article is new enough and long enough

    Policy compliance:

    • Adequate sourcing: No - Need to source the genre (per WP:EXPLICITGENRE). The personnel section should also be cited, whether if it is to an online listing of the song or the EP's liner notes.
    • Neutral: No - Wish I could give a check mark with comments, but this template does not allow that. I'd like to see a little more about the song's lyrical content, if you could find information on it? No worries if not.
    • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes
    • Other problems: No - When I first ran Earwig on the article, it gave it a copyvio score of 62.9%. While a second run reduced it down to an acceptable 21.3%, I think that the overquoting in the article's reception section should be addressed before it is promoted to DYK. I'd suggest taking a look at WP:CRS for tips on how to consolidate things, but the key is to try and link quotes together by their subject like you did in the article's lead (e.g. "Critics praised the song for its "breezy" instrumention.")

    Hook eligibility:

    • Cited: Yes
    • Interesting: No - I'm not convinced of this hook's interesting-ness. Per WP:DYKINT, a hook needs to be intriguing to a person with "no special knowledge or interest", but this hook requires a reader to be familiar with the conventions of "traditional French house club-style music". The information about the music video seems pretty interesting though, perhaps "...that the music video for "Step by Step" stars a 12-year old professional skateboarder?" or something in that vein?
    QPQ: None required.

    Overall: Article is new enough and was promoted to GA within the past week. However, there are few issues with the article's prose: "French touch" being the song's genre must be sourced, the personnel section lacks a citation, and there's a bit of WP:OVERQUOTE in the article reception section. The given hook is also not particularly interesting in my opinion; I've suggested an alternative idea, but a new hook should be created in any case. In any case, good job on your first GA and your first DYK nomination, as far as I can tell :) Leafy46 (talk) 16:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Overall: Hey 金色黎明, so nice see you here on enwiki! First, the DYK hooks should follow the same format as on zhwiki and wrap the eligible article in bold markup. I have made those adjustments for you and added a link to nitrification, so no worries there. Most of the sources are offline academic references, and I will AGF regarding them. Image is freely licensed. The Google Patents source backs the hook fact, although I am not a 100% sure if it is a reliable source. It is also just moderately interesting imo, but since the rest of the article is much more technical, I do not believe a better hook can be formulated, so I will get it a pass. This is your second DYK nomination, so no QPQ is needed. Good to go! —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • :Hi! I'll be reviewing this.
    General: Article is new enough and long enough

    Overall: Article new enough and long enough. Hook is sourced to a book, and seems reliable. No recent edit wars, so article is stable. Hook is neutral (and quite interesting, if I may add). No picture is used, no plagiarism from what Earwig found, two QPQs are done. Easy pass, good job! — Preceding unsigned comment added by EF5 (talk • contribs) 20:00, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article looks good. QPQs done. The hook is interesting. The article matches the hook. I can't figure out if the image is freely licensed, but if you use the image there should be a "(pictured)" in the hook. ―Panamitsu (talk) 02:28, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not 100% sure on the picture, so removing it from the nom. Thanks! - The Bushranger One ping only 02:36, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • The photo is present in the 1976 Letectví a Kosmonautika article p. 867 - photo credits (covering the whole L+K article) are: "J. Landa, K Masojidek, archiv J Zazvonila v VZLU". The photo dates to October 1951 or before, as that was when it was allocated a civil registration (it still has the military registration V-11 in the photo). Note that I didn't include the three-view diagram used on other language articles as it definitely has dubious licencing.Nigel Ish (talk) 12:25, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hi Kingoflettuce, review follows: article created 12 December and exceeds minimum length; sources used look to be reliable and citations are placed inline throughout; sources used are almost entirely offline, I found no issues with paraphrasing from the online ones; two QPQs have been carried out; hook fact is interesting and stated in the article, the source is offline, for completeness would you mind providing an extract to support it? - Dumelow (talk) 12:35, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, no problem: "In 1934, Ambo Sooloh was elected to represent the Malays in handing over to the Governor of the Straits Settlement, Sir Shenton Thomas, a letter stating their loyalty to the country and the British Government. It was a solemn political occasion which, according to the Utusan Melayu, showed that the Singapore Malays was a distinct ethnic group, apart from other Malays in the region."
