Decarbonization of shipping

Created by LouiseNano (talk). Nominated by Chidgk1 (talk) at 06:57, 9 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Decarbonization of shipping; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - I have 2 issues with this hook. Firstly, ships aren't making the ocean into acid, but more acidic. Secondly, the ships themselves aren't making oceans more acidic, it's the carbon emissions. I would reword this as "maritime shipping is helping to make the ocean more acidic?"
QPQ: Done.

@PerfectSoundWhatever: Hopefully I have dealt with cite issues above and thanks for hook suggestion - I tried to make it a bit shorter - how about

@PerfectSoundWhatever: I don't think we need the word "maritime", as it is not in the title of the article and almost all shipping acidifies the ocean not just maritime (your environmentally friendly cycle courier "delivers" your pizza they don't "ship" it). However ALT2 is fine by me, but as the nominator I am not allowed to tick it off. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:39, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying, but the hook should be true to the source. Saying "shipping" in general isn't what the source says. Argubaly, adding "maritime" makes the hook more interesting (shipping across the ocean affects the ocean itself!). Ticking ALT2 only. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 17:41, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
@PerfectSoundWhatever: Is there something else I need to do here please? Chidgk1 (talk) 17:11, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
