  • Long enough. New enough. Inline citations throughout. Eight of the 15 sources are behind Proquest, so AGF here. Other sources do check out. Generally well written; I did make a few minor copy-edits. Copyright "violation unlikely" (9.1% similarity) per Earwig. Both hooks are cited. I find ALT1 more interesting; plus, it references directly to the very Stradivarius cello once owned by the man. GTG for ALT1.

  • This is new enough and long enough. QPQ done. Some copyediting is needed to reduce close paraphrasing from the most-used source. I also think a new hook is needed. The hook suggests the selective collection is universal, while the article states this is only for the Orang Asli of Negeri Sembilan. If a fact is to be made about a group or groups of Orang Asli, I am unsure why the Malay name would be used in the hook. Lastly, the linked kenduri article suggests that the practice is Javanese, which is quite removed from Negeri Sembilan Orang Asli. CMD (talk) 08:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Chipmunkdavis! Thank you for taking the time to read through the article, I will try my best to address your concerns and see what we can do to resolve your concerns:
  1. "Some copyediting is needed" I will work to resolve this in a few, I will reply to this once completed. It should be resolved now.
  2. "Orang Asli of Negeri Sembilan." I will propose an updated hook, or workshop an ALT1 to address this concern if that could help.
  3. "I am unsure why the Malay name would be used in the hook." Tan and Lee identify the language as Malay, and the Orang Asli communities presumably used Malay when communicating with Yoke Mui Chan. I can also just refer to J. lanceolata as the "slender joey", but the vagueness of chica could be hook-ier.
  4. "the linked kenduri article suggests that the practice is Javanese" Kenduri is in fact not exclusively Javanese, it is practiced in Malaysia as well. Per Britannica: "important life events ... are usually celebrated by a feast, known in Malay as kenduri ... In rural areas the kenduri is normally held at the house of the host family." I'm assuming that the original author of the Wiki article was or is more familiar with the practice in an Indonesian context but both countries have kenduri, and Saw and Chan explicitly identify the practice as kenduri.
Hope this can address all the bases outlined by your concerns. Thank you for your time! Ornithoptera (talk) 23:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Examples that are too close text-wise:
  • "Compared to related species, the leaves of the Slender Joey are narrower"/"Compared to other species in the same genus, the leaves of this species are narrower"
  • "The leaves of the palm were used by local Indigenous peoples for roof thatching"/"The leaves of this palm are used by the local indigenous people for making roof thatch"
More broadly, the Description section has copied the structure of the source, each sentence mirroring the source's sentence placement.
To clarify, I don't object to the Malay name per se, it's just that when reading about an Orang Asli tradition I would expect to see nouns from their indigenous language. However, you make a good point that they are likely to have communicated with others in Malay.
Would you be able to make a very small edit to kenduri based on your knowledge, so that its use in the hook will make sense to readers? Then we could also specify that the hook refers to the Orang Asli of Negeri Sembilan and the hook concept will work. CMD (talk) 03:34, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Chipmunkdavis, I have taken the time to adjust the article accordingly. In addition, I have adjusted the kenduri article per your request. I don't know whether you have read the table or not, but the names provided are presumably the ones the Orang Asli communities do use. On an informal basis, the Orang Asli communities of Negeri Sembilan presumably speak a similar language to Standard Malay (they're quite closely related, so there is an assumption of mutual intelligibility). There isn't much information on Ulu Kelaka in English language sources, nor is there much information regarding the Orang Asli communities there but I would have tried to provide further information on the matter. In terms of the name, I would have to reasonably assume the name is the same in both languages and would not be different in the local language as recorded. I highly doubt this is a matter of a separate Malay name being prioritized over an unknown Indigenous name, it is simply a matter that the language identified is Malay and that it is also the name that the communities use. Regardless, I will propose the following ALT hook per your request:

  • The article is new enough and long enough, no QPQ is needed. The article seems mostly sourced to the primary source, but having a quick search I am satisfied the subject has further coverage. While the source given in this nomination is non-English and without a page number, the hook is sourced in the article to the primary source which does support it. The article would be improved by the use of page numbers for sources. I am unsure about the image copyright, I do not think it can be own work as it is a photograph of an artwork. CMD (talk) 09:25, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Chipmunkdavis:, Thank you for reviewing my first DYK submission. The 'ancient-buddhist-texts' English source is a primary source, but I added it mainly for clarity and better understanding in English. The article is fully supported by the Burmese source, and even without the 'ancient-buddhist-texts' reference, it remains comprehensive. The Burmese source, Kutha Zatdaw (PDF), Myanmar Alin (in Burmese), 16 June 2005, p. 10, is sufficient to cover the entire article. An article from the Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science is also an additional reference that can be used to verify the entire content of the article. If you're unable to verify the Burmese source, please feel free to seek assistance from other Burmese-speaking editors. And I added more English source and page numbers.
Regarding the image, the Buddhist temple artwork is not copyrighted, which is a common case in Myanmar. Buddhist Jataka tales are often depicted in many temples and monasteries across Myanmar. For instance, File:071 The Defeat of Alavaka (9022063790).jpg is an example. In Myanmar and Thailand, temple arts of Buddha cosmology are generally not subject to copyright. Thanks! Hteiktinhein (talk) 20:06, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it is an interesting article. On the sources, there is no specific issue with non-English sources (although the English backup is appreciated), but as a general point I would suggest including page numbers next to specific claims for all languages. Would you have a link for more information about that copyright situation? CMD (talk) 14:53, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I’m not an expert on copyright, I’m not sure how to explain it very well. I do know that Myanmar is not a freedom of panorama country, but the Aung Myin Dipa Temple in Patheingyi was established around 1880 by Min Dipa, a minister and court official in King Thibaw's court. The paintings in the temple seem old, but there is no indication of the year they were made or the owner’s name. So, they could be considered under the PD-Myanmar license. However, I don’t want to delay or cause any arguments, so it’s fine to promote my DYK without the photo. I’m withdrawing the photo for now. Pls kindly review. Thanks!

QPQ: No - One QPQ has been done, but this nomination needs three QPQs. It's a little confusing, given that this nomination page claims that only one QPQ is needed, but WP:QPQ says that "Where a nomination offers more than one new or expanded article, an article-for-article quid pro quo (QPQ) is required for each nominated article. As soon as a new nominator's hook includes articles beyond their fifth nomination of an article for DYK, each of those requires a separate QPQ review." Since you have six DYK credits, you need two more QPQs - one for each of the three articles.
Overall: @Tenpop421: Nice work on these articles. This nomination actually needs two more QPQs (this nomination page claims that you are required to give 1 QPQ, but that is an error and doesn't match what WP:QPQ says).

  • New enough (draft), long enough, no QPQ needed. A couple of paragraphs lack citations, although they read as if they might simply use a duplicate of other existing citations. Earwig gives a high value, but this seems to be mostly quotations. If there is another way to word "converted the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction" that may be useful, but if not, I have not found copyvio. The hook seems interesting from a common law perspective, but I am concerned the language does not easily track the article which may make it difficult for readers to find. For example, "freeze" does not appear in the article, neither does "Lord Chancellor". I do think it is in the sources given here, although I cannot access the source in the article. This should be a simple fix, either with tweaks to the article or the hook. CMD (talk) 10:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chipmunkdavis:
    1. Added references for those few paragraphs I forgot to cite.
    2. To make it easier to find the support for the hook, I have rephrased the intro a bit, duplicated a footnote there from the body (optional per MOS:LEADCITE), and added non-paywalled sources for it. Additionally:
      • I have changed a "frozen" into "freeze" for sake of CTRL+F. (There were already 8 instances of "freezing".)
      • Likewise I have added "Lord Chancellor" to the lead, though "the Chancellor" and "the pre-Revolutionary Chancellor" appear in the article and refer to that. I used "Lord Chancellor" in the hook rather than "Court of Chancery" (the former court of the Lord Chancellor) mainly since it sounds more interesting (and is accurate), but I would be fine with instead using "Court of Chancery" in the hook.
      • Re: "although I cannot access the source", if you log in to the Wikipedia: Library, then you should be able to access that paywalled sources via HeinOnline at Maloy, "Expansive Equity Jurisprudence: A Court Divided" (and likewise the other paywalled source at Haines, "The Conservative Assault on Federal Equity").
    3. While I have now very slightly changed the wording, "converted the preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction" (Google) is not original to the case, and the exact phrase is used by the Supreme Court, the court of appeals, and multiple sources (Burbank, Grenig)—in each instance without quotation.

  • Claiming this for review and hoping to finish the full review soon. For now I'll just note that the first hook is probably the best option here. It's mentioned in the article and properly referenced. I couldn't find where in the Chinese source the part about her using her own clothes is mentioned, but the English source confirmed it so there's that. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hi Narutolovehinata5. First of all, I am confused, as I believed User:MaranoFan had approved this nomination yesterday, and your statement does not imply a denouncement of their review. So I am unsure why Marano's review was overridden. As for the Chinese source, it is actually written in Cantonese. It writes "'First of all, I would like to thank Sandra Ng for providing many of her own beautiful clothes. In fact, we are the real scam syndicate, as we first asked Ng to play this role but couldn’t advance her payment. Then we "made" Ng into lending us her costumes, and even she joked, "are you guys really that poor?"' Ho Miu Ki expressed gratitude for Ng's professionalism and kindness to help the production crew saving a significant amount on wardrobe expenses. (首先要多謝君如提供許多私伙靚衫。其實我們才是真正的詐騙集團，首先請君如演這個角色，但又未能預支片酬；然後再『氹』君如借出服裝，連她也笑言『你哋係咪真係咁窮呀！』」何妙祺感謝吳君如的專業與不計較，願意為劇組節省大量服飾上的開銷。) It does not mention Ng wearing her clothes, as it was cited to support the first part of the sentence about her "[lending] her own wardrobe to the costume crew" and "to help to save money". It is unrelated to the hook, which is why I did not include that source in this nomination. But as you mentioned, the English source has already checked out the hook, so I am still uncertain about what the problem is here. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 15:50, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a new and substantial article, that has no copyvio problems, and is well sourced. The main source for the article, and the hook, is a book (not digital) so AGF for this. Hook ALT0 is effective: it is short, and surprising, and is stated in the opening lede of the article. ALT1 is less immediately easy to understand without a bit more context. Good to go!

Yet today many food writers and gourmets consider one particular dish, the famous pavo in mole poblano, which contains chocolate, to represent the pinnacle of the Mexican cooking tradition." - Coe and Coe: The True History of Chocolate

Not a review for a moment: Hi @Rollinginhisgrave:! Before I review this, could you please revise the sources? They appear a bit messy in visual (no offense intended). I suggest organizing them by listing the article title or the publisher's name (e.g: Sources: British GQ) Also, the source on ALT 0 and ALT 1 haven't sources or link, could you provide the source? Thanks! Royiswariii (talk) 14:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it okay if I don't? Sorry, I'm using Template:sfnp, so the inline sources are arranged by Author, Year, Page/Section (if applicable). So I think it makes sense that the sources would follow the format of author and then date. And I did put the authors in alphabetical order. It's also the natural way they are generated using template:cite journal, template:cite book and template:cite web. Hope this is okay.
The sources for ALT0 and ALT1 are for a third edition of a book which is unfortunately offline. For that content, they are the same as the first edition, so I can put links to that? Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 14:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • New enough (moved draft), long enough. No copyvio from spotcheck of the first 3 sources. Very nice work with the newspapers. On prose, just a double check on whether we should be writing "Europe and the Orient", it feels outdated. Perhaps it should be in quotes, as I am unsure modern readers will understand what "the Orient" means. In Career, I am unclear how she joined a company in 1928 if she had already travelled with them in 1927.
    For the hook, I am unsure where "ancient" comes from, it is not in the sources. I would also suggest wording it as "royalty in Calcutta", as I'm not sure Calcutta itself had specific royalty. Otherwise, it is interesting and sourced. CMD (talk) 13:48, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi, Chipmunkdavis! I've fixed usage of "the Orient", per your suggestion. I only used the term because the papers in question did without technically defining what area that referred to. I've fixed the year discrepancy. I've changed the hook to "in".
As for ancient, I would love for alternative suggestions on that one. I included it for a particular reason. If it just says "classical dance", then people are going to assume that means ballet or ballroom dances, when that is absolutely not the type of dances being referred to. The dances she used were things like ancient Assyrian and Egyptian dances. However, the sources on her dancing before the Calcutta royalty didn't specify which dance types she used in that case, so I wasn't comfortable automatically including either of those two cultural names. SilverserenC 21:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting that the sources all seem to use classical dance, perhaps its meaning has shifted. After a quick look around, would something like "folk" or "traditional" work? The royalty wording should be tweaked in the article as well. CMD (talk) 00:56, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose traditional classical dances will work. I've made the change in the hook above and fixed the royalty sentences in the article. SilverserenC 01:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We are good to go, in the hopes of one day getting a Wikipedia article on this meaning of classical dance. CMD (talk) 01:29, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a new article, with no copyvio problems. Referencing is appropriate. QPQ is not required. It is of appropriate length, is interesting and certainly merits a DYK. I have one issue, which is that both the hook and the opening lede of the article are quite technical, rather than accessible. In the opening of the article, it mentions 'AGN'; this might be better written out in full, as it is a niche abbreviation. In the next paragraph, for example, what is a Seyfert nucleus? Also shouldn't reference 4 also be linked in the top paragraph (this is the paper, on which the press release is based?)

Can I suggest a very light copy-edit to the article to make it more accessible?

Second point, on the hook. How about a small tweak for readability:

Chaiten1 (talk) 08:09, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaiten1 I've edited to write out active galactic nucleus (AGN) in full and used reference four in the opening paragraph as per your suggestions. I'm not sure about rewording "Seyfert nucleus" though without adding quite a bit of unnecessary content. If people read the type 2 Seyferts link I think they should get the idea. As per your alternate hook, I kinda like my one a bit more because it starts of a bit mysterious but I'm open to yours. Please let me know if you think rewording "Seyfert nucleus" is absolutely necessary. TarnishedPathtalk 09:21, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TarnishedPath Thank you for the prompt edits; very happy with these and, as you say, you already link to type 2 Seyferts so nothing else is needed there. For the hook - I guess it comes down to preference. Without wanting to hold things up can we see if another editor has a prreference? Perhaps Bremps, as they already engaged with the article? Chaiten1 (talk) 10:03, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’m no astronomer, so take this with a grain of salt. But if we estimate the black holes to collide within 10,000 years or so based on information that took light speed to reach us, would the black holes not have already collided a billion years ago? If so, I think the hook might need to be altered for accuracy. The article says the galaxies are a billion light years away. Bremps... 17:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bremps, part of the problem with rewording to take into account the distance is that a light-year is a unit of distance, not a unit of time. So saying that they collided approximately 1.06 billion light years ago would be a technically incorrect usage of terms. However it could be potentially reworded like:
or
The hooks are slightly more clunky but I think they address your comment. What do you think?
@Chaiten1 thoughts? TarnishedPathtalk 05:28, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your continued work on this! I think the billon year part makes the hook more intriguing; the 'were colliding' is a nice touch. My preferences is for ALT3. Happy to sign this off for the next step.Chaiten1 (talk) 08:03, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Approve hook and image Article was made yesterday, so is new enough. At around 5000 characters, it is long enough. The article reads neutrally and properly uses in-line citations. Due to non-English sources, the copyvio detector isn't all that useful, but some spot checks I made look good. The hook is interesting, short enough, and cited in-line. The sources for the hook check out after translating. The image used is in the public domain and works fine as a small image. The QPQ has been done. Everything looks good to go! (One concern I have is whether someone will object to the image of the paper just because of its content, but I guess we'll deal with that if it happens).
