• Hello, and welcome to DYK. However, the current hook cannot be used as it is above DYK’s 200-character limit. I would suggest a much shorter hook, something like:

The main issue is that, right now, the article only has 650 characters of prose, which is far below the 1,500 character requirement for DYK. In addition, as the article will need copyediting, that number might decrease further. One possible solution to this could be to convert the “Summary for the decade” section into prose, which should result in over 1,500 characters of prose. Regardless, the article currently needs work. Normally, I’d quickfail this, but as this is the nominator’s first DYK nomination and the issues are not insurmountable, I could give the nominator up to a week to address the concerns.

Related to this, I have another question: did the article use AI-generated or LLM-generated content? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:35, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

OK good point, I suggest then:

@Rolands00004413: Please either fill in or remove the empty sections and address Narutolovehinata5’s question regarding LLM usage.–Launchballer 03:57, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5 @Launchballer No my articles do not use AI or LLM generated content. I do use AI to search internet incl Wikipedia, but all my texts and internal/external references are manually written and checked. Also I followed the advise and redid the “Summary” section as prose / flowing text, that was good advise. Plse let me know what else is needed. By the way, I have to recheck for missing attributions were pieces of text were copied from other wikipedia source articles in the “Events” etc. sections. If that’s a problem for your approval just forget this nomination for now OK or keep it open, bcse it will take a few days time for me to get that done. brgds Roland’s (talk) 10:50, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: Is the above sufficient?–Launchballer 23:37, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

I’m not the best person to judge, my main concern had been the hook and organization. Another editor could probably take a look at this. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:48, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

• – nom is new enough. Long enough. Sources checks out to prose. Hook can be decided by the closing editor.BabbaQ (talk) 18:16, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
