[Summary]

      Did you know (DYK) is a project that showcases newly created or expanded articles on Wikipedia. It provides a platform to highlight interesting and noteworthy content to a wider audience. The DYK process involves nominating articles that meet certain criteria, such as being newly created or significantly expanded within a specific timeframe. Nominated articles undergo a review process to ensure they meet the project's standards and guidelines. Approved articles are then featured on the main page of Wikipedia for a limited time. 

     The DYK section includes a hook, which is a brief and attention-grabbing statement about the article's subject. These hooks aim to pique readers' interest and encourage them to click on the link to learn more. The DYK project helps to promote engagement and collaboration among Wikipedia editors and encourages the creation of high-quality content. It also serves as a means of recognizing and celebrating the efforts of contributors who have contributed to the expansion of Wikipedia's knowledge base. DYK is an important component of Wikipedia's mission to provide free, reliable, and interesting information to its readers.


[Interesting point]

      This feature allows lesser-known or recently developed content to gain visibility and exposure on the main page of Wikipedia. By featuring these articles with attention-grabbing hooks, DYK helps capture readers' interest and encourages them to explore the articles in more detail. This not only provides recognition to the editors who worked on those articles but also helps in promoting the dissemination of new information and diverse subjects across Wikipedia. The DYK project plays a vital role in keeping the platform dynamic, ensuring that fresh and engaging content continuously reaches a broad range of readers.


[Discussion angle]


     As part of the DYK process, nominated articles go through a review to ensure they meet the project's criteria and guidelines. This review process may involve discussions and debates among editors regarding the article's quality, notability, and adherence to Wikipedia's policies. Editors may have differing opinions on whether an article truly meets the criteria for being "newly created" or "significantly expanded."

 1. Summary The article argues that understanding Wikipedia requires appreciating its community and collaborative culture, but also recognizing the challenges it faces from personal differences and external threats. Despite its collaborative nature, Wikipedia has been shaped by authorial leadership, with an informal benevolent dictator guiding the community and mediating disputes. However, this leadership role can be challenging to balance, as new responsibilities and authority may arise. The article uses examples, such as Sanger's reflections on his departure from the community and discussions about Wales's role, to illustrate the delicate balance of leadership in the Wikipedia community. 2. Interesting As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions, but I can identify some points that may be interesting to readers.

  1. Summary After reading this article, I understand that Wikipedia articles must have reliable sources, and the opinions in the sources should be neutral. Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we publish only the analysis, views, and opinions of reliable authors, and not those of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves. 2. Interesting points News headlines—including subheadlines—are not a reliable source.  I think this is important because some news headlines are written to grab the reader's attention quickly and briefly; their news content may be exaggerated or lack context, and even sometimes contain sensational claims. 3. Discussion points Do you know how to test reliable sources?
