Hey Marchije! I recently completed an article for Paul I, 1st Prince Esterházy of Galántha and nominated the article for Template talk:Did you know. I noticed that you had quality checked some of the other submissions and was wondering if you could give me any guidance as to how to make the article more appealing for selection. Any suggestions you could offer would be of the greatest help! --Caponer (talk) 16:34, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi Caponer,
While I have verified references and hooks on the DYK nomination page, I've never been involved in actually selecting an article to be published to the DYK section of Wikipedia's main page. My assumption is that they are looking for articles which adhere to Wikipedia's main policies. In my opinion your article is a good length with many references, so my first thought was that you could remove the {{Expand Hungarian}} and {{Expand German}} tags; my only concern would be that all of your references seem to be web-based and although you do list two texts under the "Sources" section, you do not site these sources specifically in the body of the article. However, having created similar articles on subjects who have very little information available in the English language — such as the article I expanded on Nagaharu Yodogawa — I know that this can be a challenge. Luckily I was able to find a couple more reliable sources on Nagaharu Yodogawa due to him having lived within the last quarter century. I find for more historical figures one can try doing a Google book search. I did a search on "Prince Paul Esterhazy of Galantha" and found quite a few articles in English with either "Full View" or "Limited preview".

I'm still not comfortable approving the hook including the IMMI info. I've left my rationale and suggested we get a second opinion. I just wish I could find an article specifically stating what direct involvement she has with the IMMI... Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Marchije•speak/peek23:55, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Marchije, the IMMI is not a group. It is a law. She sponsored the law, as the New York Times clearly states. Do you agree with this? --Rajah (talk) 02:16, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. --Nuujinn (talk)00:44, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
A discussion has begun about whether the article Mark Stanley (lighting designer), which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. --Nuujinn (talk)10:35, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
