Articles for improvement
January checks
Below is the list for swapping hooks for the month of January. OTD tries to prepare sets two weeks ahead of time. New OTD swappers are always welcome; editors can post below if they would like feedback on their work. Z1720 (talk) 00:53, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Done ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC) (first time so a double-check/feedback would be helpful)
- @AirshipJungleman29: Excellently done! Last year OTD increased the born/died list to 4 articles, so feel free to add a fourth article there when swapping hooks. Z1720 (talk) 17:26, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Hakkoda mountain disaster.
Shouldn't the disaster itself be bold and not the mountain? The mountain isn't relevant to the date the disaster is relevant to the date. Traumnovelle (talk) 00:42, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Traumnovelle: Mount Hakkoda disaster has too much uncited in the article so it can't be bolded. If you can add the necessary citations before the end of the day, we can bold it for the main page. Z1720 (talk) 00:45, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
February checks

First timer
I just swapped the hooks for Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/February 14. This is my first time doing so, and I'd appreciate some review. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for helping out. The set looks good to me. If an entry is no longer eligible to be on OTD, it can be added to the ineligible list, instead of removed. This allows future prep-setters to fix mistakes and add them back to eligible if the problems are fixed. I also moved 2011 Bahraini uprising to ineligible because it has an orange banner; this usually disqualifies articles from appearing on OTD. Thanks again for your help and I hope you come back to do more! Z1720 (talk) 19:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback! Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:03, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- I just swapped the hooks for Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/February 23. This is now my second time doing this, and any feedback would be welcome. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:45, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- One specific question: based on Wikipedia:Main Page/Day after tomorrow, it looks like the ITN/OTD sides is going to run quite a few lines longer than the TFA/DYK side. Do we shorten OTD to maintain balance, or is it all on ITN? There are a few places we could trim the OTD set I just pulled together, like dropping the last blurb and/or the last birth/death. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:51, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's usually on ITN to drop an old blurb, unless things are really out of whack, if say, it's a very short DYK set or one gets pulled. It's also just slightly easier to just delete an ITN item, than move a OTD item back into the staging area. That said there's definitely less attention paid to balance nowadays with the new default Vector skin, but it still gets tweaked from time to time. Thanks for asking though, appreciated.
