This page holds approved nominations that are waiting to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page. Following DYK approval, nominations are processed and moved into a Prep area, and from there, prep sets are promoted to a queue, and then to the main page.

To create a new nomination or to see those that are yet to be approved, see Template talk:Did you know. For the discussion page see WT:DYK. Click on the link to go directly to the Special occasion holding area.

  If some of the nominations are not showing up properly at the bottom of the page, these alternative pages can be used to view a subset of the most recent nominations.

Instructions for nominators[edit]

This page is for those nominations that have already been approved and are waiting to be promoted. If yours has been approved but has not yet been run on the main page, it should either be on this page or will soon be moved here, or already promoted to a Prep area or Queue ahead of an appearance on the main page.

If you wish to create a new nomination, please go to the Template talk:Did you know page; there are instructions there in a section similar to this one on how to nominate an article for DYK.

Frequently asked questions[edit]

Backlogged?[edit]

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until someone promotes it to a preparation area. To alleviate this problem, if the approved page has more than 120 approved hooks, then sets will change twice per day (every 12 hours) instead of once per day (every 24 hours). When the backlog falls below 60 approved nominations set frequency returns to once a day.

Where is my hook?[edit]

If you can't find the nomination you submitted to the nominations page, and it also isn't on this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is either in one of the prep areas, has been promoted from prep to a queue, or is on the main page.

If the nominated hook is in none of those places, then the nomination has probably been rejected. Such a rejection usually only occurs if it was at least a couple of weeks old and had unresolved issues for which any discussion had gone stale. If you think your nomination was unfairly rejected, you can query this on the DYK discussion page, but as a general rule such nominations will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

Instructions for other editors[edit]

How to promote an accepted hook[edit]

  • See Wikipedia:Did you know/Preparation areas for full instructions.
  • In one window, open the DYK nomination subpage of the hook you would like to promote.
  • In another window, open the prep set you intend to add the hook to.
  • In the prep set...
    • Paste the hook into the hook area (be sure to not paste in that that)
    • Paste the credit information ({{DYKmake}} and/or {{DYKnom}}) into the credits area.
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted [[Jane Fonda]]", preview, and save
  • Back on DYK nomination page...
    • change {{DYKsubpage to {{subst:DYKsubpage
    • change |passed= to |passed=yes
    • Add an edit summary, e.g., "Promoted original hook to Prep 3", preview, and save

How to remove a hook from the prep areas or queue[edit]

  • Edit the prep area or queue where the hook is and remove the hook and the credits associated with it.
  • Go to the hook's nomination subpage (there should have been a link to it in the credits section).
    • View the edit history for that page
    • Go back to the last version before the edit where the hook was promoted, and revert to that version to make the nomination active again.
    • Add a new icon on the nomination subpage to cancel the previous tick and leave a comment after it explaining that the hook was removed from the prep area or queue, and why, so that later reviewers are aware of this issue.
  • Add a transclusion of the template back to the nominations page so that reviewers can see it. It goes under the date that it was first created/expanded/listed as a GA. You may need to add back the day header for that date if it had been removed from the nominations page.
  • If you removed the hook from a queue, it is best to either replace it with another hook from one of the prep areas, or to leave a message at WT:DYK asking someone else to do so.

Nominations[edit]

Special occasion holding area[edit]

Shortcut
Do not nominate articles in this section—nominate all articles in the nominations section on the regular nominations page, under the date on which the article was created or moved to mainspace, or the expansion began, or it was listed as a Good Article; be sure to indicate in the nomination any request for a specially timed appearance on the main page.
Note: Articles intended to be held for special occasion dates should be nominated within seven days of creation, start of expansion, or promotion to Good Article status. The nomination should be made between at least one week prior to the occasion date, to allow time for reviews and promotions through the prep and queue sets, but not more than six weeks in advance. The proposed occasion must be deemed sufficiently special by reviewers. The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. Discussion clarifying the hold criteria can be found here: [1]; discussion setting the six week limit can be found here: [2].
April Fools' Day hooks are exempted from the timeline limit; see Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know.
Note for promoters: please be sure to add an "invisible" comment after a hook when you've placed it in prep, noting that it's a special occasion hook and including the date it is supposed to run. This should keep the hook from being moved after promotion, as sometimes happens to hooks when a queue needs a slot filled or a prep set needs to be made more balanced by swapping hooks between preps.

No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quotes from reviews that have all been cited; AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 74 characters long (ALT1 is 113; ALT2 is 141); all three are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs 46 (verifying the main hook and ALT1), 54 (verifying ALT1), 66, 69, and 72 (verifying ALT2) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • This review is for ALT0 because it is the only one using a picture:
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

Image eligibility:

  • Freely licensed: Yes
  • Used in article: No - no, but it is merely a crop from a larger version used in the article, which actually works better at the small size to illustrate the hook. So acceptable to me.
  • Clear at 100px: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thanks for your work on this good article. The picture is a bit fuzzy at the small size but doable; but if this hook will not be used on the first line, then ALT1 also checks out and is acceptable. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 19:55, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An extra comment - there are quite a few one-sentence paragraphs, which isn't a problem for DYK, but you might want to see if they can be combined/expanded. But good to go.

  • @Evrik and Zanahary: please could you double check the source for the hook? I found it online via Academia.edu here. My reading is that Ankudinov thinks that there was only oral tradition before the 18th-century vita. After discussing two 17th century documents, the sentence on pages 86 and 87 says "Возможно, это свидетельствует о том, что к этому времени текст Жития Ксенофонта еще не сложился, и среди населения бытовали лишь устные предания о преподобном. [Perhaps this indicates that by this time the text of the Life of Xenophon had not yet been formed, and only oral traditions about the saint existed among the population. via Google translate]".

  • Approved: Article is new enough (created draft 6 May, moved to mainspace 12 May, nominated 14 May), long enough, every paragraph is cited to a scientific source (I only verified the hook source, AGF on the others), no copyvio detected (I would prefer if the paraphrasing of the hook fact wasn't quite so close), and presentable. The hook is formatted, of good length, cited to a reliable source (verified) and interesting. Image CCSA. I feel that I can make out enough of the image, and if it runs I'm sure it'll be clickbait to see the full-size version. QPQ waived. Will leave some copyedit notes on nominator's talk page.

Thanks for raising that concern. I'm not sure that this hook fact can be rewritten without either changing the meaning or greatly increasing the wordcount. I'll think on it.

  • Approved ALT0–2: Article is new enough, long enough, well-cited to reliable sources, presentable, and with no policy issues detected (neutrality, BLP, copyvio). Non-boldlinked articles in hooks also look presentable, with no maintenance banners. Hooks are formatted and of good length, with hook facts cited in article. Verified hook fact for ALT0, ALT1. AGF for ALT2 (pages 88–101 of De Normann not available at open library). QPQ waived. I feel that ALT0 is the most interesting of the three. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No close paraphrasing that I could detect judging from the English sources; I will take it on faith that the Japanese sources were translated to English in a way that doesn't too closely paraphrase the source.

Hook is sourced to two sources including ESPN which quotes her mother who said she cried and cried when doctors told her her baby might not walk very well.

  • New, long enough, wonderfully written, and interesting throughout; QPQ done. The source apparently verifies the hook (I used automatic translation on the Mongolian text), but I cannot determine the quality of the source, as the publisher is not identified -- if it self-published, as it looks, I have reservations about its usability anywhere in the article, and especially for sourcing the hook. Also, assuming the source is reliable: the hook is fun and all, but the article has much more interesting facts, which seem to be quoted to much more reliable sources -- how about something on his refusal to criticize Genghis? Dahn (talk) 18:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for the review Dahn! The source may be self-published, but its author, Ishdorj, Ts., was a reputable Mongolian historian. Now, being a 20th century Mongolian historian means that you're not very prominent on Google, but you can still find evidence of his subject-matter expertise at links such as [13] [14] and [15]. He is also mentioned in a New York Times article and was the recipient of a medal for his contributions to scholarship. After finishing the article, I had actually found more details on his avoidance of censorship, and now we have a new paragraph! As for another hook, how about ALT1: ... that Shagdarjavin Natsagdorj's remarks at an academic conference led to a communist purge and contributed to the Sino-Soviet split? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:16, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • I am not doubting Ishdorj's qualifications, but the problem with self-published sources is that they are generally (or universally) below the RS threshold, regardless of who the author is; we generally cannot trust their content to have been edited by anyone, and we technically can't even tell it's an actual article by Ishdorj (it probably is, and as such written in a blog-ish manner, but still...). I won't insist that you remove it from the article, but I would suggest that it should not be used for the front-page hook. Therefore:

  • There are multiple issues. Three of the sources are unreliable - PBase as a personal website, Humanities for All as a blog post, and Indybay has no editorial process as an "open publishing newswire" that "allows anyone to instantaneously self-publish their work". The first and last sentences of the Design section needs citations. The first sentence under the Use as protest space section needs to be cited. SL93 (talk) 00:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I've left the Humanities for All citation up because I believe that although it's a blog article, it's an appropriate source for the statement of "[SJSU] faculty embedded Victory Salute into their Public Art as Resistance project". The blog is written by the Director of Public Programming for the College of Humanities at San Jose State, and describes the history and intent behind the project.

Overall: All DYK criteria are fulfilled. I've done some copy-editing, and it's good to go. The first three hooks are, rather, a touch generic and not so interesting. The last two are, however. ALT4 is the best of the lot. Although, it needs a bit of delinking. There's currently a heap of blueness on it. The linking of the words 'viral' and 'crowdfunding campaign' is redundant IMO.

@Xoak: Could we by any chance perhaps have the hook be a new alt? Just discovered that they collaborated with Pizza Hut…this could make for a humorous DYK: ’’’…that Pizza Hut’s most expensive pizza was a blanket?’’’ source --TheSandDoctor Talk 00:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheSandDoctor: Yes, we always can. List your newer ALT hooks in bold in reply to this if you have more. The one you already provided let's name it ALT5. It is pretty hilarious and more intriguing than the previous ones, obviously. However, the source mentions it as Pizza Hut’s most expensive pizza is ... a weighted blanket?, per DYK rules we'd need to add that part to the article somewhat as is. You could probably add to the partnership section: [...] "It was sarcastically dubbed as Pizza Hut's most expensive pizza." Also, we could go for ALT6 …"that Pizza Hut’s most expensive pizza was a weighted blanket?" to reflect the source's statement more closely. Let me know your thoughts.

  • ALT0a: ... that David W. Music has taught, composed, conducted and written about music?
  • Approved: Article is new enough, long enough, well-cited, presentable, and with no policy issues detected. QPQ waived. Hook is formatted and of good length. Hook fact cited in article (will assume that when he "led" a Sacred Harp sing ["directed" in source] this is equivalent to "conducting"). This is roughly verifiable from the summary preview of the subscription-required online source. Hook is interesting. Could probably do an alternate about the nominative determinism, but for non-April Fools, I don't think it'd be any more interesting than ALT0 which is excellent. I put up ALT0a just so the promoter can see them side-by-side, I think the slight repetition of phrasing in ALT0 (while less concise) makes for a better hook.

  • Comment I'm an IP user so I think I can't approve the overall DYK, but just a heads up that I'm a Korean speaker and I verified that both hook 1 and ALT1 are supported by the sources given. I'll give a slight comment that I'd prefer ALT1 be worded as "... that Ryu Sung-hyun (pictured) will become the first Korea National Sport University student athlete to compete at two Olympic Games?" Think the meaning of this is slightly clearer and it's slightly more concise. I prefer the main hook to ALT1 though; think it's more interesting. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 07:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your input. I have changed the wording on ALT1. I was trying to figure out how to emphasize that he is competing in two Olympics while enrolled in the school- there are multiple alumni who have competed in multiple Olympics. -Riley1012 (talk) 12:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: hooks that treat the future as definite are problematic. I'm assuming Ryu Sung-hyun has qualified for the Olympics, but even athletes on their country's Olympic teams sometimes don't end up competing due to injury, illness, accident, or some other complication, so "will" is a problem (see WP:CRYSTAL). Perhaps "is set to become" could be used (though, like the IP user, I prefer the original hook):
    Note that if you want the Olympics in the original hook, you can do so simply by adding "Olympian" before his name. —BlueMoonset (talk) 04:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • In my opinion "earl of Bamburgh" should be wikilinked. Probably to Rulers of Bamburgh (even though Earl of Bamburgh redirects to Earl of Northumbria [is this a redirection mistake, I am not knowledgeable here]?)
    • The flow of the wording might be improved: What do you think about "... that Uhtred became earl of Bamburgh after his victory at the siege of Durham, even though his father seems to have still been living?"
    • "his father" should probably also be wikilinked to Waltheof of Bamburgh - what do you think?
    • Thanks for creating free and interesting knowledge! I will approve this nomination once these small questions have been addressed! WatkynBassett (talk) 07:27, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Created Alt0a to address the above suggestions. I have no strong feelings about whether this is better than the original. The question about Earl of Northumbria vs Rulers of Bamburgh is a question I've no clear answer for. CSJJ104 (talk) 19:49, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at this again I notice Waltheof of Bamburgh is a stub. I'm unsure if this might be an issue for inclusion in the hook?
While I have no issue with whichever hook the promoter chooses when that point is reached I do like Alt2 as being distinct from the sort of hook which typically appears on DYK. CSJJ104 (talk) 20:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your work on the hook. In my experience many hooks with doubtful reliability are extensively discussed and often challenged at the promotion stage or even later when the sets are put together therefore, I did not pick the more unusual hook ALT2 (which has the qualifier "tradition"). I think ALT0a is fine and that a stub article is wikilinked is no issue at all. I approve hook ALT0a. WatkynBassett (talk) 05:25, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wonderful to see that this machine (with a great keyboard... at least it's no Sinclair 1000 eh?) be promoted to good article status. Earwig's is clean, was promoted to GA a few days ago. For the first hook, neither of the given sources say how long the computer was a bestseller for -- the BBC source only says The ZX Spectrum may have been Britain's best-selling computer. ―Panamitsu (talk) 09:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I did my own digging into the claim and found out that the Amstrad PCW actually outsold the ZX Spectrum some time in the 1990s (8 million units of the PCW across all models by at latest 1998 vs. 5 million units of the Spectrum across all units by 1992). In light of that, here's an alternative hook. Pinging @Panamitsu and Jaguar: DigitalIceAge (talk) 23:55, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • ALT0a: ... the ZX Spectrum (pictured) maintained the title of Britain's best-selling computer for over a decade? Source: Moran, Joe (28 August 2015). "Typewriter, you're fired! How writers learned to love the computer". The Guardian. p. 20. Archived from the original on September 6, 2015. Crookes, David (March 10, 2016). "Fancy a Fresh Slice of Pi?" (PDF). Micro Mart (1404). Dennis Publishing: 8–10, 12, 14, 16 – via the Internet Archive. ProQuest 1787168972.
        • @DigitalIceAge: I'm a bit puzzled with the given sources. The Guardian one doesn't appear to mention the ZX Spectrum at all; the Micro Mart appears to say with Raspberry Pi sales reporting, people forgot that the Amstrad PCW had outsold the ZX Spectrum; the Independent source talks the Pi rather than the ZX Spectrum. Am I completely overlooking something? ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:51, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Panamitsu: The Guardian source is there to establish that the PCW had surpassed the Spectrum in sales by the time of the PCW's discontinuation in 1998. The Micro Mart is there to establish explicitly that the PCW outsold the Spectrum. The Independent source is... pretty much redundant, so I've removed it. I think this shouldn't fall afoul of WP:SYNTH, as WP:CALC allows us to do routine calculations like numerical comparisons. If this is too SYNTH-y, though, I'm not opposed to other hooks. DigitalIceAge (talk) 08:14, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
            • @DigitalIceAge: Honestly this is too SYNTH-y for my liking. My interpretation of WP:CALC is more of something like "The 2016 Kaikōura earthquake occurred 6 years after the 2010 Canterbury earthquake." Anyway, I think it could have something to the effect of "is one of the best selling British computers", as it is brought up in the Raspberry Pi source, or we can have another hook. ―Panamitsu (talk) 11:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: The article was created on 22 May 2024. It has a readable prose size of 3211 characters. QPQ not yet done. WP:EARWIG shows now copyvios. More comments later.

Each paragraph has a source. Some parts of the lead and the section "Early life and education" sound very similar to the text in Moulton 1893, p. 722. This needs to be rewritten to avoid WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE. I didn't check the rest of the article so please make sure that the problem is not found in other parts as well. The hooks are interesting and supported by the source. Both hooks are too long: they should be below 200 characters and ideally below 160 characters. The picture is freely licenced, used in the article, and clear. Phlsph7 (talk) 13:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Phlsph7: thanks for your evaluation. Some parts of the lead and the section "Early life and education" sound very similar Because they are similar. I've used it as a source material, and "the article merely presents standard facts for a topic like this in standard sequence. The article does not copy any creative words or phrases, similes or metaphors." And a direct comparison with the Moulton source shows no violation. However, all of these becomes irrelevant here because the dictionary is in public domain and properly attributed in the source section. Regardless PD or not, the article does not closely paraphrase, rather presents standard facts in an orderly sequence. WP:LIMITED exists. Although redundant, I've now added a PD template as well in the ref section (which is usually done if it's a case of somewhat direct copy-paste, although this isn't the case here). Re the blurb's lentgh, while nominating I made sure they are under 200 characters. And yes shorter blurbs would be better. We may simply remove the "American educator" bits: ALT0b ... that Lois E. Trott (pictured) ran the first lodging house for homeless girls in America, providing shelter and support for over 1,000 girls annually, all without receiving any payment? ALT0c... that Lois E. Trott (pictured) ran the first lodging house for homeless girls in America, providing shelter and support without receiving any payment?

Let me know which one you prefer or if have your own opinion. Regards. X (talk) 07:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The template should solve the close-paraphrase problem. I wasn't aware that the phrase "(pictured)" does not count towards the character limit (per WP:DYK200), which means that the original hooks pass the test. I think all that remains is the QPQ. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment — I would probably add one or two supporting details to the hook to make it more interesting. A lot of people get sentenced to death, what makes Touré's sentence special? You could give the specific reason(s) or emphasize the fact that Touré, who served as an elected member of Burkina Faso's parliament, had previously been sentenced to death. Thus, despite a previous sentence, he went on to represent his country. Yue🌙 18:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How about ALT1, "... that the Burkinabé trade union leader Soumane Touré was sentenced after being accused of collaboration with counter-revolutionaries, but his life was saved through the intervention of then President Thomas Sankara?" --Soman (talk) 09:45, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Soman: I think that is a very good hook. I will do the review later today if nobody else has by then. Yue🌙 21:05, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed some missing details with ALT1, presumably because including those details would exceed the character limit. I propose this adaptation of your hooks, ALT2:
"... that the execution of Burkinabé trade union leader Soumane Touré was prevented by the intervention of his friend Thomas Sankara, the then president of Burkina Faso?"
The source from the article is: Harsch, Ernest (15 October 2017). Burkina Faso: A History of Power, Protest, and Revolution. Bloomsbury Publishing. p. 104. ISBN 978-1-78699-137-9.

Review of African Political Economy. 40 (137): 361. ISSN 0305-6244. I have already done a review of the article and its sources, but I cannot approve the adaptation of your hook without your input. Yue🌙 07:42, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok for ALT2. Notably, the really interesting hook would have been to state that whilst Sankara saved Toure's life, Toure joined the pro-government side after the killing of Sankara. But I can't find a ref that back that narrative up. --Soman (talk) 19:48, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

Overall: Interesting article about a prominent figure in Burkinabé labour history. The article was copy-edited by myself for minor grammatical errors and sentence structure. Two-thirds of the citations given (both in English and in French) were checked for plagiarism and close paraphrasing; no issues arose. The original and alternative hooks are verified by the sources given for each, but I believe ALT2 fulfills WP:DYKINT the best. Yue🌙 21:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First question/note on the article is that the species presence in North America is only mentioned in the lede, but not at all covered in the distribution section. Ideally there shouldn't be citations in the lede so the mention of the Columbia River basin should be covered in distribution and elaborated on (what part of the columbia as is a large basin that covers a number of biozones.--Kevmin § 22:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updates looking very good. article is new enough and long enough, with appropriate citations that are neutrally presented. No qpq done as of yet, that is still being waited on. The hook is cited and the citation matches the information as presented. With the hook, I would suggest changing the wording "..., but with stems..." to "... on stems..." as it feels like it flows better that way. thoughts?--Kevmin § 20:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: My first time reviewing a dual-article nomination, and I appreciate the effort which must have gone into it!

Both articles moved to mainspace yesterday. QPQ is done. No plagiarism detected via Earwig. For both articles, length, referencing and image licensing are all good. For the insect, I think that the first paragraph of "Description" and of "Paleoenvironment" are both a bit long and ought to be split up a bit, and that "Paleoenvironment" should have at least one image - even the location map over at Klondike Mountain Formation would be really helpful. For the plant, you really should move the distribution images a couple of paragraphs down to avoid MOS:SANDWICH, and the last sentence of the lead is missing a period. Still, I would not hold up the nomination for those reasons alone.

To me, it is the hook which has multiple significant issues. It may not be grammatically correct (shouldn't it be named after the same place, not named from the same place?), it is really confusing and vague, as you have no way to tell what place is actually being referred to without clicking on both links, and I feel that a lot of readers would just say "So what?" when they see it as currently written. Suggested wording: Alt1 "...that extinct plants and damselflies from the Eocene were discovered and named after Republic in Washington?"

I also think that both articles should have a sentence which makes this connection between the two more explicit than the mere hatnote at the top. Lastly, you should at least add DOI and ISBN links to your DYK citations. Right now, there is no way to tell which citation refers to which fossil without going through the articles' references, and we should not have to do that. InformationToKnowledge (talk) 13:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

InformationToKnowledge The hook as written is a play on the hemihomonym use of the genus name Republica for both a plant and an animal, but I like alt1 as well. I've added the dois for each source and a map to Republica weatbrooki, plus added splits in the Description and Paleoenvironment sections. A sentence calling out the hemihomonymy has been added to each article under classification. The image/map placement for Republics (plant) is more problematic though. I edit on a wide screen desktop monitor, and my view of the article has the maps already almost all the way down to the start of References. Ideally I was wanting a single map, but I wasn't able to find one I could make work for the West coast sites plus Alaska.--Kevmin § 18:37, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Taking conciseness into account and a matching the details of the articles:

Alt2 "...that fossil plants (pictured) and damselflies from the Ypresian were named after Republic in Washington state?"

Kevmin OK, that addresses all my concerns. Thanks for the prompt response! InformationToKnowledge (talk) 17:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
