Refreshment

Attention, if you're an admin please consider trying your hand at refreshment... it's easy, just follow the directions and the rules.

Follow the steps at the Guide to Updating DYK.
When you add an image to DYK, you must protect it and add {{mprotected}} to the image description page, or {{C-uploaded}} if you have uploaded a temporary copy from Commons (make sure you also copy the author attribution and the licence tag).
- If you are an admin at Commons, you may protect the Commons version of the image, and add {{En main page}} there. However, you must also add {{mprotected}} on the English Misplaced Pages's image description page and protect the image here to prevent vandals from uploading a local version.
Try to include items from varied fields of interest, time periods, and parts of the world.
Please disambiguate linked words in the suggestion.
Try to ensure entries are of appropriate length and make them more interesting, if possible.
Stale entries are no fun, but please try to give every entry the exposure it deserves.
After updating the template, follow the steps at #Instructions to admins.
Don't forget to UNprotect the previously used image AFTER you change the template to the new picture.
If you remove a {{C-uploaded}}-tagged image from the template, please speedy delete it. Don't forget to immediately check the deleted history of its image description page and restore any relevant Misplaced Pages-specific edits, category links, and tags (such as {{FeaturedPicture}}) that were on there beforehand.

Remember:

Proposed articles should be over 1000 characters, cite sources (these sources should be properly labelled, that is, not under an "External links" header), and be no more than 5 days old (unless it was under 1000 characters, marked a stub, and has been expanded by at least an additional 1000 characters), and should not be marked as stubs. Articles with good references and cites are preferred to those that are not.

- Short and pithy (under about 200 characters).
- Neutral.
- Definite facts, mentioned in the article.

Please check back for comments on your nomination. Your entry may miss out on the front page if you don't respond to reasonable objections.

BACKLOGGED?

This page often seems to be backlogged. It is possible to go to WP:AN or #irc to try and draw attention to it, but this appears somewhat fruitless. If it does get backlogged, it may be useful to draw to its attention the administrators who have regularly updated the template. If any admin would like to be reminded of the backlog, they can feel free to add themselves! As such, administrators who have regularly updated in the past and upon whom haranguing may be effective are
