Thank you for your constant support on DYK, - thanks with my review, and the peace bell by Yunshui! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
I do not have any proof, but I suspect that the reason why the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America and Presbyterian Church of the United States had similar names is at least in part a reflection of the general trend whereby when secession occurs within Presbyterianism, the seceding party often views itself as the true continuation of the older denomination. One means of doing this is for the new denomination to adopt a name which suggests a status to which they aspire. In the case of the Presbyterian Church in the United States thngs were somewhat complicated as it was originally known as the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America which clearly demarcated it from the Presbyterian Church of the United States. As regards the difference between "of" and『ïn,』it may be that the Presbyterian Church of the United States choice of preposition was chosen in view of its historical links to the Church of Scotland. All of this is a bit of a quasi-educated guess however and to really answer the question one would need to look through the denominational records to see if the choice of nomenclature was discussed.

Greetings, Yoninah. I noticed that you recently promoted a DYK I had nominated, Template:Did you know nominations/Mary Docherty; however, it does not appear anywhere on the page T:DYK/Q; I just thought you should know. Technical glitch, perhaps? Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 01:30, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Only one that I can see - ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:University of Maine alumni, which I debated adding but decided to put in because it's more narrowly focused.

I have been involved in the DYK review of Dhruv Pandove which is currently in the special holding area for January 9th. If you approve, would you be able to move it to Prep 1, which I calculate is the correct prep area. The nomination was originally for a single article but then a second was added, so could you check the credits as I am a bit confused about the "subpage" parameter. Thanks.

I have another one that I have been working on that could use another pair of eyes. It seems scattered to me, but maybe that's just because I have only been able to grab minutes here and minutes there to work on it since my mom is visiting. If you'd like to input and have time, I'd appreciate the help. I'm thinking she might be another GA candidate. User:SusunW/Elizabeth Rona Won't be around hardly at all tomorrow, but maybe by Thursday I'll have a bit more time to polish it up. Have only 3 photos I know about, p 382 [1] and [2] but am sure all would have to be fair use. How many fair use images can one use in a single article, do you know? This seems vague to me "Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information." SusunW (talk) 03:34, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

I am the article nominator and was working to address the concerns on the page before the holidays. I haven't had as much time over the past few weeks to address it but I have largely done so now, and I believe removed all close paraphrasing. I would like this DYK to get one more chance.

Of course, it would be good to have a more complete article. I noticed that there are a couple of points where the content differs. According to the sources that I looked at, her father studied law at the University of Alberta. Also, it appears that her parents may have been already living in Calgary before she was born and so were visiting Russia at the time of her birth. I also found this [3] which suggests that Ernest Borek was teaching biochemistry at City College of New York at the time of his marriage to Kessler; apparently, Borek married his research assistant Sylvia Kerr after his divorce but I didn't find a date. --Big_iron (talk) 17:23, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Yoninah, I was wondering if you could take a quick look at this nomination (it's in the special occasion area under January 29) and promote it if possible to the space that Jolly Janner reserved for it in Prep 5. If I hadn't suggested the revised wording for the original hook, which Daniel Case used verbatim, I'd just promote it myself, as I had intended to do when I ran into the issue that I felt needed clarification and a bit of sourcing. However, having been involved, I'd like someone else to check the work done. Many thanks for your help. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:04, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I've never prepared a DYK area for the main page, but noticed you're the main contributing editor, so hopefully will know what to do here. I suspect the Betty Brosmer image is not properly free; it's marked free on Flickr, but a colorized image, from an album of colorized iconic images, that I doubt the colorizer owns the rights to. I nominated it for deletion on commons. I don't know what to do here ... partly because I'm the nominator of Modest Stein which is another DYK in the same preparation area, so the conflict is obvious. --GRuban (talk) 20:03, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Would you have a bit of time to review with a critical eye Doris Johnson? I think she is deserving of a GA nomination but I hate to nominate one without someone else having looked it over.

Yoninah, I was wondering whether you could take a look at this two-article nomination.
When I found it, it had been approved, but the bio had significant overlap with the pre-existing choir article. The creator responded by ripping out all of the copied material, but that left Masa Fukada with enormous holes, so I restored some of the overlap and wrote some new bridging material so Fukada's article better represented his life as a musician.
Can you please doublecheck to make sure I haven't made any errors and that the article is 5x expanded with what remains as copied? Ideally, this would end with an approval, if it all works and I haven't missed anything else, but one way or another a new status icon would be welcome whatever it is. (So far as I know the school article has been fine from the beginning.) Thank you very much for whatever you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:53, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

PFHLai recently reminded me to be somewhat aware of the time that DYK preps will be viewed on the Main Page. Essentially, preps with odd numbers will be more visible in Africa, Europe and especially the US, whereas preps with even numbers will be more visible in Asia and Oceania. In light of this, I was toying with the idea of swapping our current lead hooks in prep 2 with prep 3 and prep 4 with prep 5. If I'm not mistaken, you chose most of the current lead hooks, so wanted to see your opinion e.g. if I'm missing any underlying reasons for their timing.

So- I have a couple of questions and you might already have the answers- What is the impact of DYK - should I for example always try to write an article and then create a DYK about it? Or - does it matter/why does is matter? Why do the articles have to be new? Why can't I create a DYK for an article I wrote before I discovered DYK but which has not yet every been proposed..(I can tell that I can't without major overhaul but I'm wondering what the reason for that is, it seems unnecessarily restrictive...) Some thoughts - some questions which I have been thinking...Can you have a DYK like - "Did you know Elizabeth Bloxham was fired from her job in a strongly Unionist area for her politics of Nationalism" if the only citation I have is her own words - not an independent source (it's not in the article because I have only her word for it -though it seems valid?..... ☕ Antiqueight haver 16:53, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marti Stevens (educator), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Composition and Face mask. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Brilliant! I get the chance to thank Yoninah for their contribution to DYK. What could be easier.... over 200 well written articles is the minimum for this award. However here we have an editor who assumes AGF and who calms wikidramas. Ada Lovelace day was celebrated because you saw an opportunity to do something for no reward.

Hello! Your submission of Gerard Behar Center at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

Yes that will be fine. I've just been so frustrated with the whole thing given the more amusing hook with the precedence behind it could be ignored and tampered with after it had been passed in accordance with policy. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I don't know if I can interest you in this, but History of the Jews in Wales might potentially interest you. It's on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon/Core articles list so if you expanded that one and got to GA you'd get 175 points!

Thanks for uploading File:Lois Galgay Reckitt.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

Hi Yoninah, I'm looking for some advice and thought i'd ask you given your record of bringing WP:Israel related articles up the formal quality scale. Since you've worked on many GAs and DYKs, but haven't worked on an FA as far as I could tell, do you view the latter as simply too time consuming to achieve? I have just brought Balfour Declaration to GA, and am debating whether I should try to go for the next step. Oncenawhile (talk) 20:02, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello Yoninah, I recently added Carlos Brewer to the list of Wikipedia:Did you know/Statistics using ErrantX's tool. How does one know the period of time that a DYK was listed on the Main page? I noticed that some entries were calculated based on a 6 or 8 hour period, but I assumed that 12 hours was standard. How does one ascertain the page views per hour statistic? Thanks.

Yoninah, I was wondering whether you would be willing to take a look at this one to see whether it should be given an IAR exception on a four-day-late nomination. The creator/nominator is fairly new to DYK. The initial reviewer is also pretty new, and didn't make that call. It's one of the oldest reviews, and no one has stopped by to take a look at it. Thanks for anything you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:50, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

I'm fairly sure, neither of us speaks Hungarian, and as far as I have found, Máté was not Jewish, but maybe she was? The link is in English and I am totally puzzled by it. [15] The first page of the weblink says "Hodmezovasarhely Victims of Fascism-During the Second World War". She didn't die in WWII and as far as I can tell, the people she assisted were victims of anti-communist sentiment after World War I. The references to her persecution in the Lexicon were very vague. Now this (which shows her as Mrs. Bela Zalai but note there are no identifying dates or any other information with the name. Zalai was possibly the best-known Hungarian philosopher prior to his death in a Siberian concentration camp in World War I. His first wife died in 1908, long before any war, and he was married to Olga in 1912.) I'm wondering if there is some other connection to this monument? If you don't have time, or aren't interested in it, not to worry. I just thought you might have access to sourcing that I don't. Thanks. SusunW (talk) 00:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing my submission. I believe I have fixed the issue with the subheadings. Each paragraph that I have added to this article has inline citations. I am not sure about the section about communist history, as I did not write that portion. Would it be appropriate to remove that section, especially given its general lack of citations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Three8 (talk • contribs) 22:53, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

for all the hard work you do.} E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:59, 25 May 2016 (UTC) |
Thanks for your independent review of the ALT hook at Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Troy_Alexander. When I review DYKs, I sometimes suggest alternatives to the DYK proposer when needed, and leave it up to them to ultimately propose it themselves. I do this to try to avoid bureaucracy, but I can see where this can be viewed as a COI of sorts even though I'm not unilaterally proposing and approving my own ALT hook. However, I think it'd also be an extreme case that a proposer would agree to any alt hook just to get their DYK approved. Maybe there's already a precedent on how to best handle this. Let me know your thoughts. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 23:07, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
I too was intending to suggest an alternative at Template:Did you know nominations/Joigny coach crash and I was surprised, to say the least, at how this was handled. I thought it was pretty clear from [16] that I wasn't reviewing and passing my own hook. I'd appreciate it if you'd update your comment to reflect that as I don't appreciate the implied impropriety.
