Work stealing

edit

Created by Qwertyus (talk). Self nominated at 13:38, 7 January 2015 (UTC).

checkY A1 — this is new enough
checkY A2 — this is long enough
checkY A3 — it seems reasonably compliant with policy. It's not perfect, of course, as I reckon it could use some copyediting to make the language more accessible, especially in the lead. I'll have a go at this myself and this work will help confirm the correctness of the details, for which I am mostly assuming good faith, currently.
checkY H1 — the suggested hooks are short
checkY H2 — I like ALT1 best. It seems a more intriguing hook and its claim is weaker than the first hook and so is easily supported by the Blumofe paper.
checkY O1 — Qwertyus has only done one DYK before and so doesn't need to do a QPQ yet.
checkY O2 — There's no image and I suppose it will be challenging to find one for the topic.

In summary, the page is good enough to proceed. Well done. Andrew D. (talk) 13:00, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

@Andrew Davidson: actually I've done multiple DYKs, but I did QPQ every time so I still have freebies. I haven't kept track of them, is there a place where I can see my own DYKs easily? QVVERTYVS (hm?) 13:55, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
  • I used a tool called QPQ check which only returned one entry and this seemed consistent with your talk page, which I skimmed too. If you reckon your tally is ok then that's good enough for me. Andrew D. (talk) 14:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Qwertyus, it's somewhat brute force, but you can use the Contributions link to see your own contributions in the Template space, and click on the Did you know nominations ones to see which ones were reviews and which ones submissions. (This link shows your Template space edits.) Also, while you do get your first five DYKs free, once you have five that's no longer the case, even if you did voluntarily start doing reviews before they were required.
