Revision as of 02:21, 10 August 2009

The hooks below have been approved by a human (Giants27 (talk)) and will be automatically added to the DYK template at the appropriate time. Click here for an example of what these hooks will look like on the main page – you may wish to remove this template for a more accurate example, if you do ensure to add it back.

DYK queue status

There are currently 3 filled queues. Humans, please consider promoting a prep to queue if you have the time!

Earliest time for next DYK update: 00:00, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Current time: 09:56, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Update frequency: once every 24 hours

Last updated: 9 hours ago(

)

DYK queues: Clear

Next queue

DYK prep areas: Clear

Next prep for promotion

NOTE: Since on average about 50% of hooks on the suggestions page are U.S. related, it is usually appropriate to have roughly half the hooks in any given update on U.S. topics. Thanks.

Tips on assembling sets are at Misplaced Pages:Did you know/Additional rules.

Hooks

From Misplaced Pages's newest articles:

... that the settlers who built Old St. Raymond's Church (pictured) in Dublin, California, were unable to afford a full-time priest, so one rode in monthly from Oakland to hold Mass?

... that Renée Asherson made her first stage appearance in John Gielgud's 1935 production of Romeo and Juliet?

... that Ned Hanlon managed the Baltimore Orioles to three consecutive National League pennants?

... that the Mexican government offers rewards of 30 million pesos for information leading to the arrest of the leaders of various drug trafficking cartels, such as the Beltrán-Leyva brothers?

... that although the Soviet Union recognised Swaziland in 1968, it wasn't until 1999 that Swazi relations with Russia were officially established?

... that the U.S. Senate rejected Ernest W. Lefever for a State Department human rights post, a nomination opposed by his two brothers who claimed he supported views that "blacks were genetically inferior"?

... that the Mexican Green Party has run an advertising campaign to promote the restoration of capital punishment in Mexico?

... that two county attorneys were sued for not reporting the plot by a jealous ophthalmologist to murder another ophthalmologist, who later lost his eyesight in prison?

Credit templates

You can also give out credits using the following templates:

Article talk page: ({{dyktalk}}) {{dyktalk|14 January|2025}} (check if small style templates in use, if so add small=yes parm)
Article creator/expander's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYK}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYK|14 January|2025|Article name}} --~~~~
Nominator's talk page: ({{UpdatedDYKNom}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKNom|14 January|2025|Article name}} --~~~~
Notify contributor about addition to a Portal: (can be modified for more than one portal) - ({{UpdatedDYKportal}}) {{subst:UpdatedDYKportal|Article name|Portal:Portal name}} --~~~~

Note that portal notifications are only done if you have taken the trouble to add the DYK hook to a relevant portal, which is entirely optional. The other notifications must be done before the preparation area page can be reset.

Images

Don't forget to add an {{mprotected}} notice to the image description page (or {{C-uploaded}} plus a copy of the author attribution and the licence tag if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons).

Posting the new update

Note: This is the manual method. When using WP:DYKADMINBOT, the bot should automate all of the following except steps 1, 7, and 10. Update: Bot is currently working but not archiving, so step 6 also has to be done manually after each bot update until further notice.

Make sure the image/media for the hooks to be loaded is on English Misplaced Pages or protected on Commons. If the image/file is on Commons and not protected, upload it to En and tag it with {{c-uploaded}}. You do not need to protect the picture; this is done automatically because of the cascading protection of the Main Page. Alternatively, if you are an admin at Commons you can protect the image/file at Commons instead of uploading to En.
Update T:DYK from the current queue.
Purge the cache of the Main Page to make sure the new entries appear.
Reset the DYK time.
Increment the next queue count.
Copy the previous set of hooks (not the new set just promoted to the front page) to the archive. Be sure to copy the final revision of the set (should be the last diff on the T:DYK page before your update). Please include the picture/file.
Check if the previous picture/file was temporarily uploaded from Commons for display on the Main Page, and delete it from En if so.
If you have time, please do the credits for the hooks just promoted (see "Credits" section above).
Clear the queue you just promoted hooks from with {{User:DYKadminBot/REMOVE THIS LINE}}.
If you have time, check if Preparation area 1 or Preparation area 2 are full. Check the hooks for errors, and promote them to the next empty numbered queue if they're good. Clear the queue you took hooks from to look like this. Tag the numbered queue with {{DYKbotdo|~~~}} once the queue is loaded and ready.
