Any user may nominate a DYK suggestion; self-nominations are permitted and encouraged. Thanks for participating and please remember to check back for comments on your nomination.

[edit] DYK criteria

Official criteria: DYK rules
Unofficial criteria: LaPella's unwritten rules

• DYK evaluation includes:

• Length - The Article should contain at least 1,500 characters in main body text (ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, and tables). This is a mandatory minimum; in practice, articles having more than 1,500 characters of prose still may be rejected as too short, at the discretion of the selecting administrators.
• Verification - The DYK hook fact in the article needs an inline cite at the end of the sentence and the article in general should use inline, cited sources.
• Date - The new article should be no more than five days old and the expanded article should be expanded at least fivefold with new text within the last five days.

• Length

• DYK qualifying characters: To count the number of characters in a piece of text, you will need to use a JavaScript extension like User:Dr pda/prosesize.js (instructions on the talk page), a free website like this, or an external software program that has a character-counting feature. For example, if you are using Microsoft Word, select the text from the article page (or, in the case of "Did you know" nominations, this Talk page) – not the edit page containing Wikitext – then copy and paste it into a blank document. Click "Tools" ("Review" in Office 2007), then "Word Count", and note the "Characters (with spaces)" figure. Other word processing programs may have a similar feature. For Mac users, Apple has a Word counter widget available for Mac OS X 10.4 or later. Note: The character counts indicated on "Revision history" pages are not accurate for DYK purposes as they include categories, infoboxes and similar text in articles, and comments and signatures in hooks on this page.
• Lists: Proposed lists need 1,500+ characters of prose text. The listed items themselves are not counted as part the the 1,500 DYK qualifying characters

• Verification

• Suggested facts (the 'hook') should be:
  1. interesting to draw in a variety of readers,
  2. short and concise (fewer than about 200 characters, including spaces),
  3. neutral,
  4. definite facts that are mentioned in the article, and
  5. always cited in the article with an inline citation.
• Please note that hooks are subject without notice to copyediting as they move to the main page. The nature of the DYK process makes it impractical to consult users over every such edit. In particular, hooks will be shortened if they are deemed too long: the 200-character limit is an outside limit not a recommended length. Also, watch the suggestions page to ensure that no issues have been raised about your hook, because if you do not respond to issues raised your hook may not be featured at all.
• Articles on living individuals must be carefully checked to ensure that no unsourced or poorly sourced negative material is included. Articles and hooks which focus unduly on negative aspects of living individuals should be avoided.

• Other issues

• Pictures: Pictures accompanying the DYK hook should be:
  1. freely licensed suitably and freely (PD, GFDL, CC etc) licensed (NOT fair use) because the main page can only have freely licensed pictures;
  2. suitable, attractive, and interesting at a 100x100px-wide resolution;
  3. already in the article; and
  4. relevant to the article.

• Sounds: Sounds accompanying the DYK hook should have similar qualities to pictures, and should be formatted using {{DYK Listen|filename.ogg|Brief description}}

The article appears to be at 2999 characters....I'll try to modify the hook, though...Cheers. Imperat§ r^(Talk) 17:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

2999 characters is counting the references. At DYK, though, references don't count towards the 1500-character limit. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 17:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe I cleared that up now, too...want to check it again? Maybe I should change the hook to something about common names... Cheers. Imperat§ r^(Talk) 18:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Length is good now, and there are lots of good references. Still, if you can dig up a more eye-catching hook, that would be nice. Thanks for expanding the article! —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 18:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

  • Multi-sentence hooks are frowned upon, so I tweaked your original hook to put it in a single question sentence. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 01:20, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks. Any other reason this can't go forward? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 16:30, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
      • Verified. I don't think it can make B-class until someone tracks down info about the specifics of the program (which I mentioned on your talk page), but that won't hold it back from DYK. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 16:36, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese exclamative particles

• ... that the Chinese word for "hey" is derived from the words for "mouth" and "black"? —- Created by benlisquare (talk). Self nom at 05:53, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

• Sorry, but the refs you added are not inline citations, so they can't be accepted for DYK. Also, I don't know if Dict.cn, iciba, and similar dictionary websites (like n词酷.com) qualify a reliable sources. But anyway, something like the etymology of 嘿, even though it's something that every Chinese speaker knows, for the purposes of DYK still needs to be cited with an inline footnote to a reliable source. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 06:01, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Paul McCartney's condition for guest starring in The Simpsons episode "Lisa the Vegetarian", was that Lisa, who becomes a vegetarian in the episode, remain one for the rest of the series? —-  5x expanded by Theleftorium (talk). Nominated by Theleftorium (talk) at 22:30, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I have expanded it a bit now. --TheLeftorium 17:58, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

• Hmm, how about "Paul McCartney's condition for guest starring in The Simpsons episode "Lisa the Vegetarian" was that Lisa, who becomes a vegetarian in the episode, remain one for the rest of the series?" -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 17:49, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's much better. I'll change the hook to that. --TheLeftorium 17:58, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Panamanian Night Monkey

• ... that the Panamanian Night Monkey (pictured) is one of the few monogamous monkey species? —- Created by Rlendog (talk). Self nom at 02:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

• Took out "nocturnal"; everything else is verified easily. The "nocturnal" thing led me on a bit of a wild goose chase; ref 7 said that the Aotus monkey was one of the only "New World monkeys" that was nocturnal but not one of the only monkeys in general, and it pointed that "all owl monkeys are at least somewhat nocturnal." Anyway, you're probably right about the nocturnal thing, but it's harder to verify, and besides we might as well bring more attention to the monogamous thing, since that will get more hits (it's got sexxx appeal, yo). —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 04:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

  • Length and history verified, offline ref accepted in good faith. Comment left at talkpage for minor cleanup. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 03:45, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I've tidied it up a bit, hopefully it's a bit more readable now.

Alt hook, possibly less bland:

...that the pre-Columbian ruins of Teopanzolco, in Mexico , are said to have been rediscovered during the Mexican Revolution when an artillery emplacement shook loose some dirt from the stonework? Simon Burchell (talk) 14:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

The cleanup looks good, and the second hook is verified (with offline ref accepted in good faith). I think the second hook is better (although the first is shorter, but oh well). —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 15:54, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
