On20 November 2025,Did you know was updated with a fact from the articleAgender, which you recently nominated. The fact was... that some peopleidentify with no gender? The nomination discussion and review may be seen atTemplate:Did you know nominations/Agender. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page(here's how,Agender), and the hook may be added tothe statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free tonominate it.

Hi there. Just in case you missed the ping. I wrote Alt1 by myself. Corygee approved that alt, so the review was independent and followed procedure. It does not need a second review as I did not approve the alt1 hook.4meter4 (talk)02:34, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, saw, already responded :)theleekycauldron (talk • she/her)02:35, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your DYK comment. I withdrew six on Nov 6th and people have been arguing about them ever since (Aomori Prefecture, Tsugaruite, Fagus crenata, Quercus crispula, Sing the 50 United States!, and Morizo Ishidate, --only Tsugaruite is withdrawn as far as I know). I don't participate at DYK anymore. See my talk page for all the articles I've created since then.MisawaSakura (talk)03:54, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

and (immediately after waking up) this is being discussed atWT:DYK#MisawaSakura's nominations.JuniperChill (talk)08:58, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I see you promoted the original hook; just flagging that only ALT0a was approved due to the need for attribution.Dclemens1971 (talk)12:18, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dclemens1971: Ah! I'm happy to revert and pull, but for what it's worth, DYK's attribution requirements generally aren't that strict,at least in my opinion. Two hooks on the MP right now, for example, say "was dubbed" and "was declared" without actually spelling out who did the dubbing and declaring.theleekycauldron (talk • she/her)16:58, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't even realize promoters were allowed to select unapproved hooks; I thought that they were only permitted to make minor changes when promoting. As discussed in the article and in the nomination, there are many different definitions of border deaths and thus ways of counting them. As a result, my determination in approving the hook with attribution was that selecting a specific number in wikivoice would not necessarily be NPOV, but citing it to the IOM (which is presumably a respected source) validates the reason that number was selected. At any rate, I'd have appreciated a ping from a promoter who is selecting an unapproved hook so that a conversation can take place. Thanks.Dclemens1971 (talk)15:11, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dclemens1971: Nono, that bit was just my mistake. Saying 63,000 deaths "were documented" isn't wikivoice, but in the interest of expediency, I'll just swap in ALT0a.theleekycauldron (talk • she/her)17:39, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for support in November! - OnSt. Cecilia's Day - patron saint of music - I remembera composition by Benjamin Britten, and havea woman on the main page who illustrated songs, with a sense of humour. My places take you to Milan, my first visit toLa Scala, and music features our latest choral Abendlob, with English music. --Gerda Arendt (talk)16:30, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
