DYK advice
Hi. Hate to bother you, but here's a question. I haven't really done many DYK's over the years, but am trying to put some out there now. In my QPQ, I'm finding, imho, quite a few which are not that interesting. For example, Template:Did you know nominations/Richard Peck (RAF officer), the hook is: "...that Air Vice-Marshal Richard Peck ensured the Royal Air Force ordered 50 de Havilland Mosquitos in 1940?". Wasn't that kind of like his job? It'd be one thing if the hook explained how Peck collaborated with the Nazis or something. But simply doing their job? Should hooks like these be simply tagged with , since the hook really isn't interesting? I'm loathe to do that, since perhaps it is simply me that doesn't think its interesting. I'm reaching out to you since you have some experience in this area. Any help/guidance would be appreciated. Onel5969 TT me 01:27, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Onel5969, I'll admit that on occasion I hold pages from DYK because there's just no possible hook. Richard Peck is a short article, and that's the most interesting thing on the page. It sounds like the Mosquito was a bit underestimated as a design prior to being ordered? I'd ask the nominator to provide more context from the paywalled article that is being used as a hook fact source. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:51, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
June music
Thank you for all these radio stations, and reviewing, including the Ukrainian peace music is "on" today, with the conductor! - Pentecost (on last Sunday and Monday in Germany) brought a rich harvest of great music in two church services (one with me singing in choir) and two concerts with my brother in the orchestra, - four pictures I took besides the symphonic one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:04, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for removing some content from Canyon Kid's Corner that you added. I also removed content that I added. I don't understand why the reviewer doesn't want information about the host in the article when he is pretty much only known for that.

Logo alttext
Thanks so much for the tip, I didn't see it was throwing an error on my end. I do have another question though; for those multi-image infoboxes (see WDJT-TV) I don't see the alttext is rendered in the pop-up; is there any way to fix that? Nate • (chatter) 03:06, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Mrschimpf: The infobox supports two images natively—and two-image support is fairly recent for this template, so it's not as heavily used as it should be. I would remove all but the CBS 58 logo on that one. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:16, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't even want those three images there, honestly as it needlessly clutters the box, and I'm glad to hear that they added a second image (that's all we really need outside oddball cases like Yuma). Nate • (chatter) 03:20, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- It's technically there for cases more like Wowow — logo + studio image. It's much more common in the Japanese/Korean articles. When I harmonized the code of the various TV and radio infoboxes of this type, I made sure to bring it to the whole field. IMO, the MeTV logo should not be there either — it's a national logo with a city name under it, which if you're not (say) The CW or PBS is not quite a fit.

Why rv Fox4fan (talk) 03:53, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- The file you uploaded was incorrectly tagged for license reasons. Logos need to be tagged with an appropriate fair use rationale, and it wasn't added correctly to the infobox, either.

Ok Fox4fan (talk) 04:01, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Another note: In infoboxes, you shouldn't use [[File:]] syntax in most cases. e.g.
|logo=Example.jpg
instead of|logo=[[File:Example.jpg]]
. This breaks several sizing mechanisms in the infobox code. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:04, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

New QPQ rules at DYK
Hi @Sammi Brie -- I just saw your comments on one of Kaleeb18's DYK nominations. I did indeed miss the rule change (whoops) about DYK reviewers now counting a user's nominations instead of credits for the QPQ requirements. I'm wondering: what's the best way to track a newer user's DYK nominations? The QPQ Check tool only flags credits after they've been given. Is this something we just have to take on good faith from the nominator? Thanks, Alanna the Brave (talk) 13:13, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Separate dates
I was thinking of working on WTGS now that Beaufort and Hilton Head Island newspapers were on Newspapers.com. Turns out that while the page (and probably FCC documents) states that broadcasting started in 1982, sources from the time state that it signed on in 1985. Which date would be more correct? wizzito | say hello! 02:31, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- See here and here for sources. wizzito | say hello! 02:33, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Wizzito Definitely 1985. They got the CP 11/17/81, call letters were assigned 3/22/82 (which might be where the problem lies), but no license to cover was filed until 9/6/85. That's about the time of the link. First mention I can find in SC was [1] in March of '82. Sure sounds like the CP was sold at some point! Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:38, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

You don't need to pounce five minutes later on me and say "his edits could use some work". Please, I implore you, stop telling me what to do.

Need help to find a fine DYK
Hey Sammie. hope you doing well. Can you read Ahmad Abd al-Ghafur Attar to find a fine DYK. Personally i admire his being good with female relatives in a patriarchal society (his granddaughters stated that). But his prison time has some stories, but i can't change it to a well-written DYK, don't wanna waste a nomination. With Regards. Ruwaym (talk) 23:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Ruwaym, sorry for being a bit slow to respond. I can't find that hook here, though. The imprisonment could work, too.
- By the way, you should read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles of works; I suspect you're not familiar with when to use italics and when not to for work titles in English. There's also a paragraph needing an ending citation (on street naming). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hey agian. Thanks for the help, I hope to get skills and these articles become good examples, so that I can contribute here even after the competition, Wikipedia:Kateb Maktub. I have to read MoS carefully. But how about Non-English list of works? I mean Ahmad Abd al-Ghafur Attar#Works.

Hoping to resolve this matter
I was hoping to fix this issue without resorting to an ANI thread. Any help would be appreciated in case I missed something and need to improve. HangingCurveSwing for the fence 21:01, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @HangingCurve, this makes me happy to see.
- I think my first step would be thinking about sourcing and when to add content:
- There are a lot of extraneous synthesized facts that I see you add to articles. For instance, WTVK thus became one of the few stations in the country to have been a primary affiliate of all of the Big Three networks. or While this was part of a larger affiliation deal with KDNL's then-owner, Cox Broadcasting, most of the markets in KPLR's cable footprint had enough stations by this point to provide a local Fox affiliate. This would have made the prospect of KPLR as a multi-state Fox affiliate unattractive to the Koplars in any event. Would there be a reliable source to say that? When I write articles, I like to ensure as many of my sentences as possible can be cited to a reliable source—the way it should be. That's the approach that has helped improve so many articles. I don't have much tolerance for uncited mush in a topic area that has long been rich with it. No source will say "Detroit should have supported three independents..." In some cases, such as CKMI airing Global shows in the 1980s, my own research found no backup for the assertion that CKMI aired any Global programming.
- Consider how wording changes can introduce subtle and hard-to-detect errors, one of the issues that I know someone brought to you.
- I'd also consider familiarizing myself with the Manual of Style. In the TV stations topic area, we tended to do our own thing for a long time. Then we finally were made to realize that we're part of a larger encyclopedia that has a Manual of Style. Particularly I'd note these since you undid them in your edits:
- MOS:ACRO: We no longer bold call sign acronym meanings like Television Knoxville. (You might want to read the chain of events)
- We use MOS:GEOCOMMA commas after location names (a station in Knoxville, Tennessee, owned by...) and dates in mdy format (A permit was issued on January 1, 1960, to....
- In terms of finding better sources, The Wikipedia Library is a big help. I personally have applied through TWL for Newspapers.com access, which has opened a lot of doors in this field (look at all the improved pages that have followed—hundreds of them since 2019!). It doesn't make for improvement in every part of the country, but it does help.
- Hopefully this helps. I'm available on Discord as well if you prefer that; you can find me by joining the community server. The Discord is also a great place to meet other quality editors who have been part of encouraging me to improve my work, too. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:11, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- @HangingCurve: Much better on CKMI. I also think you might want to see MOS:LOGICAL for info on the use of logical quotes. There's also a place where you added an extra comma to a sentence that didn't need it, but that trips people up at GA (and I'm thinking of writing a little essay to explain it).

Thanks
Thank you for finishing those last few things on K-61. I've just been unusually busy with work recently, or I would have. Thanks again -420Traveler (talk) 14:06, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
