The article is confirmed to be new and long enough. QPQs have been provided. I did not find close paraphrasing. As stated earlier, ALT1 is the more interesting hook, but I would suggest delinking chess to limit the number of links in the hook and because chess is already well known. I also don't think the link to the Supreme Court is necessary either. As for ALT1 itself, it is sourced to a mix of accessible and offline sources. However, the link you provided in the nomination does not mention his involvement in Kagama, and while I'd normally assume good faith it would probably be nice to include a quote or excerpt on this pace confirming his involvement. In addition, the part about him being a chess polymath, while mentioned in the article, lacks a footnote in the relevant sentence. This should be good to go once those issues have been sorted out. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5 Actually the source does allude to Kagama which is clear because of the details it gives which match the case. Spinrad says, "At age 23, he was a rising legal star. Before he turned 30, Redding won a case before the Supreme Court of the United States, which had important legal ramifications on limits of Federal Laws. Redding defended an Indian accused of murder on his reservation, arguing that reservations were not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and that the matter should be decided by tribal law. Winning a case before the Supreme Court put Redding among the elite lawyers of California." Regadless if you looked in my cited references list you would see an entire source with a highly detailed account of Kagama with particular discussion of Redding's winning argument: Sidney L. Harring, The Story of United States v. Kagama, in Indian Law Stories 150 (Carole Goldberg, Kevin K. Washburn, & Phillip P. Frickey, eds., 2011); Weiner. I also point you to the FA class article on United States v. Kagama where Redding is discussed. If people want to learn more on the case and what Redding did they can always go to that page. There's not a viability problem here.4meter4 (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

No worries, I didn't suggest I was doubting the source, I was merely asking for clarification since I had no access to the source (even the Worldcat source is inaccessible to me) and I just wanted to be sure. However, the issue with the chess polymath thing will still need to be addressed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5 I unlinked chess and United States Supreme Court as you suggested. I added a redundant citation after the sentence for the polymath fact; although I think it was pretty clear the entire paragraph was cited to that one article. The hook fact was also cited earlier in the lead with inline citations after each sentence. 4meter4 (talk) 00:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I liked the MLK Jr reference as I felt it would appeal to the general public, but I better understand the concerns since I'm not sure if I can concisely describe that context, I think I'll nix it for now and use 5m-highway as the main hook, if that's ok with Favre.

I could use some clarification. I'm not sure which paragraph you are referring to or which source. Is the issue a matter of how sections/paragraphs are arranged or is there an aspect that is not reasonably complete? This source mentions the 2005 ban in South Korea but makes no mention of legality in other countries. gobonobo ^{+ c} 17:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

I did mean that source. What I meant was that the source says "According to a report, South Korea alone imported over 8000 kg of mad honey from Nepal during 2003–04 and then, further import was banned by the Korean government in 2005." The 'imported over 8000 kg' bit could go into the article.

Thank you. Secondary (but significant) issue: the sourcing seems to be heavily biased into one direction, and while I’m not familiar enough with the specific topic to actually confirm or deny errors or incompleteness, it would probably be beneficial to look for other sources in English or Hebrew just to improve the article further before using it for a DYK. Also, according to the article, it is one village, not necessarily the village of their specific ancestors, so we should have a new hook too. FortunateSons (talk) 23:27, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @FortunateSons: the lede and body of the article are based solely on three academic sources of the highest quality and neutrality – an article in Geografiska Annaler and two monographs published by Stanford University Press and Cambridge University Press. All the rest of the sourcing relates to the list of events – this is just a list of dates and locations, so I don’t see any room for bias. Please could you clarify your concern, so it can be addressed? Onceinawhile (talk) 20:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Onceinawhile: You’re right, I assumed that they were used similarly to the Arabic article without checking, sorry about that. While the heavy reliance on one source [3] is not ideal, it appears to be of such high quality that it is probably appropriate even on a controversial topic, unless some indication to the contrary should emerge. I think not including the list cited heavily on AJ Arabic is a worthy consideration, but probably optional. Did you have a chance to give some thought to my comment about the hook?

• Article upgraded to GA-status. However, the hook is mentioned in both introduction and in the investigation section with mention as "personal notoriety" rather than "trolling".

FWIW, They're two different things, but the "trolling" bit is mentioned only in the March 2016 FBI section. The personal notoriety part was mentioned by the sheriff in the post-shooting investigation.

The part in the article where this same information is put is this: "He convinced FBI investigators that he was simply "trolling", and that he was "not the type to actually do any of this stuff".

Interesting life and work, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The hook works for me. The image is licensed and an excellent illustration not only of the person but also the period at a glance. I have a few points about the article that you may consider, irrelevant for DYK.

1. Her name. I would not call her Kimball until she is married.
2. I would - as you know - whenever a composition has an article, mention the composer only by last name without link, to avoid two links in a row, and to link the more specific thing. People who really don't know Rossini can find that in the Stabat Mater article, - Stabat Mater as a standard Latin phrase like Magnificat not needing italics.
3. GSL - I would link to Großes Sängerlexikon, - as written, with the two authors, it sounds as if two people had arrived at the same view independently. I strongly recommend to use the actual link to page in the latest edition.

   Kutsch, K. J.; Riemens, Leo (2012). "Kimball, Agnes". Großes Sängerlexikon (in German) (4th ed.). De Gruyter. p. 2380. ISBN 978-3-59-844088-5.

4. I have a hard time with the wording "They had one daughter together" - why not "They had a daughter"?
5. Second image: I'd find it better on the right side, making her "turn in" (the posture rather than the eyes), and use standard upright size.
6. I am not sure that "beautifully conducted" is the right term for "schön geführt" talking about voices, but am too unfamiliar with such technical terms in English to recommend something better.

Again thank you for much detail about a forgotten singer! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt Thanks for the review Gerda. I incorporated most of your suggestions. In terms of the translation of "schön geführt" would "beautifully executed" be a better translation than "beautifully conducted"? You are after all a native German speaker.4meter4 (talk) 15:09, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I'm a native German speaker, but unfamiliar with the terms to describe voices in English. "geführt" suggests "in control" and an even production of lines without register breaks, but is there one word for it in English. I heard "gut geführt" more often than "schön geführt", btw. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

There were only 6 strikes during 1939 in which all or part of the strikers remained at their workplaces for one or more days after ceasing work. he number of workers idle in connection with these 6 strikes was 3,416, although the number participating in the sit-down or stay-in feature is not known."

This sentence involves a very encyclopedic form of synthesis in that it adds numbers from two consecutive studies by the same source. Similar synthesis, but without inclusion of the latter number appears in Sidney Fine's book Sitdown, cited in the article.

• QPQ not needed, expansion is recent and article is long enough. Hook is properly sourced. However, Earwig detected a 43.2% similarity. Before I pass this nom, I think it would be suitable to trim down some quotes, if possible. Davest3r08 >:3 ^(talk) 22:33, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I've reviewed the Earwig similarity report, which highlights passages that are either in quotes or comprise part of citations (including the journal name and another cited article). The longest passage is the summary of the Matignon Agreement, a quotation I don't think I can improve upon. I've revised the article to reduce the amount of material directly quoted from Torigian and from Adamic, but keep Adamic's longer definition and Torigian's POV that the mid-1930s strikes were a distinct phase of using the tactic. Let me know whether you think these changes sufficiently reduce the reliance of direct quotations.--Carwil (talk) 13:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

• Article is newly 5x expanded and certainly long enough. The majority of sources used are either peer-reviewed academic journal articles or books from respected academic publishers, so I have no issues with accepting offline sources in good faith. The dated sources (1931/1943) are used sparingly and in appropriate context. Earwig returns no likelihood of copyright violation, although as noted a number of sources are offline. The article is well written and I see no neutrality issues - assessments of his actions are appropriately attributed to sources and contextualised. Possibly some additional commentary from modern writers could be included in the #Legacy section at some point, but this is not critical for the DYK nom. The hook is interesting – you had plenty to choose from – and reliably sourced as per the quote. The images used are correctly licensed, and QPQ is done.

• Comment 4meter4 I was amused by "the very best people" in Alt0. I had something like Alt2 in mind in case an alt was needed. Alt1 could possibly be shorter, hopefully I got the legal jargon right.

They might mistakenly assume the theatre wasn't around for very long based on that short blurb. As for the image issue, if you look at the original much larger sketch, you'll see that the building is tilted, but I am not sure if this is because the artist drew it that way or because the artwork was creased/damaged.

@Sammi Brie Thank you for the copy edit. I appreciate your help. As for the wording... this isn't a case of improper word redundancy. There isn't a way to remove the word Pennsylvania as the proper names of both these organizations include that word. The University of Pennsylvania is the University of Pennsylvania, and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania is the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. If we remove the word Pennsylvania from the university it could be any university rather than the well know Ivy League school. Likewise, if we remove it from the court, readers would likely assume it was the national Supreme Court and not a state Supreme Court. I don't see any way of rewording this without it ending up in Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors and loosing 'hookiness' for lack of a better word.4meter4 (talk) 18:12, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I agree—it's redundant and looks off but is needed to avoid obvious confusion. It's kind of why, if I were a promoter, I would skip it. But I want the promoter to choose the hook. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:25, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

That's fair. The wording may read awkwardly to some people even if it is technically a necessary redundancy. I personally would pick it anyway because I believe it is the most interesting fact (to me anyway) among the hook choices. I guess it depends on whether one prefers style or substance (not that the other hooks are lacking substantive value).4meter4 (talk) 18:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Hook #3 is mildly interesting as you have the primacy effect, but I don't think it will hook many people in, so it's the other two. Either one could work, but I'm leaning more with Hook #1, mostly because it also references Stan Lee, which is a name that will attract views. The mention of a "dispute" between them is also kind of juicy. Admittedly, I found the full context behind their "dispute" kind of boring (lol), but at least the hook did its job. Unless @Morgan695: has a different hook to suggest, the only thing remaining is the QPQ. PanagiotisZois (talk) 23:19, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
    • @PanagiotisZois: Thanks for taking on this review. I've already done a QPQ, so if that is the only outstanding concern than this should be good to go. Morgan695 (talk) 04:48, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:

Overall: Everything checks out, but I don't think just the fact that she directed, wrote and acted in a leading role is interesting. What would be more interesting, in my view, is saying that it was her first time doing any of these things (at least from what the article says — "Chuk also served as the film's director, marking her directorial, scriptwriting, and acting debut in a feature film.") I believe this could be added to the hook to make it more interesting. Skyshiftertalk 21:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

• @Skyshifter: Hi Skyshifter, thanks for reviewing!! So maybe change the hook to "...that the 2023 drama film Fly Me to the Moon marks Sasha Chuk's debut as a director, screenwriter and lead actress, making it her first feature film in all three categories?"——Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 04:06, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

• Article was nominated for DYK within 7 days of passing GAR. Article is long enough. Article well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free; only pings on Earwigs are for some properly attributed quotes. QPQ has been completed. Hooks are interesting, cited (AGF on paywalled source in ALT0), and short enough for DYK. My preference would be for ALT1 or ALT3 as the most interesting options.
