This page is for nominations to appear in the "Did you know" section on the Main Page. For the discussion page see WT:DYK.

message: Create a subpage for your new DYK suggestion and then list the page in the candidate entries section below under the date the article was created or the expansion began (not the date you submit it here), with the newest dates at the bottom. Any user may nominate a DYK suggestion (User:AlexNewArtBot/GoodSearchResult lists new articles that might be good candidates for DYK); self-nominations are permitted and encouraged. Thanks for participating and please remember to check back for comments on your nomination (consider watchlisting your nomination page).
If this is your first nomination, please read the DYK rules before continuing:
Official DYK criteria: DYK rules and supplementary guidelines 
Unofficial guide: Learning DYK

II. 	Write the nomination.
On that nomination page, fill out the relevant parts of the pre-loaded  template. See Template:NewDYKnomination for further information about filling out the template.
* Please be aware that you do not need to fill out every line of the template; only fill out the lines that are relevant to your nomination. (For instance, if you are not nominating an image to go with your hook, there is no need to enter anything in the  line or related lines.)
* Please watchlist your nomination page or check back for comments on your nomination. Responding to reasonable objections will help ensure that your article is listed.
After filling out the template, save the page.
III.	Post at .
After you have created the nomination page, list it at this page by finding the appropriate date and adding {{Template:Did you know nominations/YOUR ARTICLE TITLE}} under that date at the top of the section (above all the other nominations, but below the section header and hidden comment).
* The date to post your nomination under is the date when the article was created or the expansion of the article began, not necessarily today's date.
* When saving your suggestion, please add the name of the suggested article to your edit summary.
* You can also consider posting this same nomination to the article's talkpage, using the same code.
===How to review a nomination===
Any editor who was not involved in writing/expanding or nominating an article may review it by checking to see that the article meets all the DYK criteria (long enough, new enough, no serious editorial or content issues) and the hook is cited. Editors may also alter the suggested hook to improve it, suggest new hooks, or even lend a hand and make edits to the article which the hook applies so that the hook is supported and accurate. For a more detailed discussion of the DYK rules and review process see the supplementary guidelines and the WP:Did you know/Reviewing guide.
To post a comment or review on a DYK nomination, follow the steps outlined below:
*Look through this page, , to find a nomination you would like to comment on.
*Click the "Review or comment" link at the top of the nomination. You will be taken to the nomination subpage.
*The top of the page includes a list of the DYK criteria. Check the article to ensure it meets all the relevant criteria.
*To indicate the result of the review (i.e., whether the nomination passes, fails, or needs some minor changes), leave a comment on the page. Please indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed; your comment should look something like the following:Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened.  If you are the first person to comment on the nomination, there will be a line :*<!--Make first comment here--> showing you where you can put the comment.
*Save the page.
If there is any problem or concern about a nomination, please consider notifying the nominator by placing {{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}} on the nominator's talk page.
=== Frequently asked questions ===
==== Backlogged? ====
This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first (so that those hooks don't grow stale), it may take several days until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see instructions above).
====Where is my hook?====
If you can't find the hook you submitted to this page, in most cases it means your article has been approved and is in the queue for display on the main page. You can check whether your hook has been moved to the queue by reviewing the queue listings.
If your hook is not in the queue or already on the main page, it has probably been deleted. Deletion occurs if the hook is more than about eight days old and has unresolved issues for which any discussion has gone stale. If you think your hook has been unfairly deleted, you can query its deletion on the discussion page, but as a general rule deleted hooks will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.
