Template:Did you know nominations/…So Goes the Nation: Difference between revisions

::::::I would have said “since 1964”, or even “to 2016″, but obviously that would be wrong since the documentary is from 2006 (and thus didn’t take into account Obama or Trump yet). Putting an asterisk in the hook to show 2020 as a counterexample would complicate the hook and be outside the article’s scope, so this wording was the best I could come up with. I’m sure it could be workshopped further.

…So Goes the Nation

County map of the 2004 election in Ohio

• Comment. ALT0 is missing a word for it to make sense, and if I’m reading the article correctly, that word would be “one”: “… that one of the Republican activists interviewed in the 2006 documentary …So Goes the Nation later changed parties?” With regard to ALT2, if the filmmakers were “originally trying to document possible voter fraud” in the election, that implies that they might have changed their minds and decided to focus on something else, or perhaps that they couldn’t find evidence of voter fraud. What did they wind up with instead? I can’t really tell from the article. —Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:15, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

  @Metropolitan90: I clarified that they dropped the voter fraud stuff, I couldn’t find why but Ill look again soon. Olliefant (she/her) 16:23, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

@Olliefant and Metropolitan90: Is this ready for review?–Launchballer 17:51, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

I assume that it was ready for review when the nomination was created, but I have no direct involvement with that determination. —Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:19, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

@Olliefant: Long enough, new enough. Both QPQs are done and Earwig is currently clean, though I removed one instance of WP:CLOP as part of a wholesale removal of WP:COATRACK material. No other reason why this might deserve a maintenance template. I’m afraid I find all of the hooks to be as dull as dishwater; what else have you got? Also, the image violates WP:DYKDIVERT and cannot run.–Launchballer 23:12, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

There isn’t much else in the article that seems to be hooky, so this seems to be the only one that sticks out:

ALT4 … that the title of the 2006 documentary …So Goes the Nation comes from a saying on how Ohio tended to voted for the winner of the U.S. presidential election?

I would have said “since 1964”, or even “to 2016”, but obviously that would be wrong since the documentary is from 2006 (and thus didn’t take into account Obama or Trump yet). Putting an asterisk in the hook to show 2020 as a counterexample would complicate the hook and be outside the article’s scope, so this wording was the best I could come up with.
