I totally understand your frustration and I m sorry my initial comment about the article wasn t very helpful DYK is one of those places where a relatively small number of editors are trying to process so much information that a lot of stuff slips through the cracks I ve had a nomination or too slip through as well or had trouble getting a hook but when it happens the very first time you submit to DYK it s so discouraging You put a huge amount of work into this and when I saw the 17 references I thought Oh man we have to use this article So we ll think of something I ll go take another look and suggest some hooks at T TDYK Wikipedia often seems like a really cold and nasty place And there are some admins who are mean and some who aren t but just don t realize what they sound like But because it s so big there s a lot of good users too So don t give up quite yet
