< Template:Editnotices

To qualify for DYK, an article needs to meet several special criteria, in addition to being checked for normal encyclopedic issues. You must check ...

  1. ... that each boldlinked article is new enough.
  • ... that each boldlinked article is long enough. The DYKcheck tool is helpful in evaluating these first two.
  • ... that each boldlinked article is well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free.
    1. The Earwig tool can be helpful for detecting direct plagiarism, but it will not catch close paraphrasing and only checks certain types of sources; manual spot-checks should also be carried out.
  • If the article is entirely or substantially sourced to offline, foreign-language or paywalled sources, verify the basic facts, or at the very least, the existence of the article subject.
  • ... that each boldlinked article is presentable.
  • ... that the hook is cited to a reliable source.
  • ... that the hook is interesting.
  • ... that any images are freely licensed, clear at a diminished size, and used in the article.
  • ... that each QPQ has been done, where necessary.
  • ... that there are no other, more subjective issues.

    Reviewer's template for easy copy+paste

    Blank template:

    {{DYK checklist
    <!--Usage instructions: If the article/nomination is compliant with the relevant guideline, put "y"; if not, state what the problem is --->
    |newness          = <!---Was the article created, expanded (5x), moved to mainspace, or promoted to Good Article status within 7 days of the nomination?--->
    |length           = <!---Is the article at least 1500 bytes long and not a stub?--->
    |eligibilityother = <!---Note other general eligibility problems here (for example, article previously appeared on DYK); leave blank for none--->
    |sourced          = <!---Does the article contain at least one citation to a reliable source for each paragraph and direct quote?--->
    |neutral          = <!---Does the article cover all major viewpoints in a straightforward manner without using promotional or overly negative language?--->
    |plagiarismfree   = <!---Is the article free of material copied from other sources?--->
    |policyother      = <!---Note other policy problems here (for example, article copied from another Wikipedia article without attribution); leave blank for none--->
    |hookcited        = <!---Check to see if the hook fact is backed by a source. If it is, check the source (if readily available) and make sure it contains the fact and is reliable. "AGF" (assume good faith) may be entered if hook is cited to an offline source--->
    |hookinterest     = <!---Is the hook reasonably interesting?--->
    |hookother        = <!---Note other hook problems here (for example, hook is over 200 characters); leave blank for none--->
    |picfree          = <!---If the hook has a picture, is it freely licensed?  If no picture is used, put "NA"--->
    |picused          = <!---Is the picture used in the article (hook image may be a crop of an article image)?  If no picture is used, leave blank--->
    |picclear         = <!---Is the picture easily discernible at 120px?  If no picture is used, leave blank--->
    |qpq              = <!---Check to make sure the nominator did a proper QPQ. If no QPQ was required (for example, user has less than five DYK nominations), put "NA"--->
    |status           = <!---Put "y" if no problems, "?" for minor problems, "maybe" if nomination needs work, "no" if completely ineligible, "again" to request another reviewer take a look--->
    |comments         = <!---Put any other comments you may have here--->
    |sign             = ~~~~<!---Your signature.  Generally, can be left as is--->
    }}

    Blank template without comments:

    {{DYK checklist
    |newness          = 
    |length           = 
    |eligibilityother = 
    |sourced          =
