5x expanded by Varmint256 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:11, 15 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Exometeorology; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

@Soulbust, thank you for the review; it's great to hear that you enjoyed the hook! Thanks for suggesting an alt hook and image as well. I'll add your suggested hook to the nomination, but I'd still like to include some facts in the hook instead of trimming them all out. How about ALT2: ... that meteorological phenomena, such as wind speeds of 2 km/s (1.2 mi/s) around HD 189733 b (pictured), have recently been observed in exoplanet atmospheres? I guess that one is a tad more concise while still including the interesting fact. As for the picture, I'll add that to the nomination as well, but I need to add it to the article first. For QPQ, this is actually my first nomination for DYK (and one of my first article edits in general); I would still be happy to review another nomination to help out! Again, thanks for the review, and please let me know if I need to fulfill any other requirements! Varmint256 (talk) 03:50, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
@Varmint256: Sounds good! Didn't realize it was your first nom, so definitely good to go for the DYK section since QPQ can be waived here. The ALT0 or ALT2 both work. I would prefer ALT2 since it goes with the image, but all of these hooks work and I'll leave that up to the hook's promoter. Good job on this and the article!

Just edited the nomination according to your suggestions. Thanks again for the suggestions and approval, excited to see if it'll show up in DYK soon! Varmint256 (talk) 05:08, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
@Varmint256 and Soulbust: I have added the [citation needed] tags to the article. Bruxton (talk) 19:08, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
@Bruxton: Thank you for reviewing the article and nomination as well! I was going to address your concern, but I haven't yet seen any edits adding any citation needed tags to statements in the article. What statements/segments seem problematic? Varmint256 (talk) 19:35, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Nevermind, just saw your edit. I'll get to those citations soon. Varmint256 (talk) 19:44, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Just wanted to update; the past week has been busy for me, but I'm still working to get out those citations. Sorry for the delay. Varmint256 (talk) 21:14, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
@Varmint256: any progress? BorgQueen (talk) 18:56, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
@BorgQueen:@Bruxton: Finally was able to cite most of the statements and remove others, but there was one statement that I'm not exactly sure how to cite - the last sentence in the 3rd paragraph. By the definition of exometeorology, an exoplanet needs an atmosphere in the first place to have time-varying conditions in that atmosphere. However, I have not been able to find any studies that state that or contradict that in a peer-reviewed context. Thus, I wanted to ask you Bruxton - why did you add the citation needed tag to that sentence? Was there anything specific you hoped I could find to support that statement? Also, to everyone who reviewed my nomination, thanks for being patient. Is it still eligible for DYK if I can get all the citation needed tags taken care of? Varmint256 (talk) 05:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
I liked this nomination and it is a great image, but we cannot have un-cited claims WP:DYKSG#D2 and the nominator has had 1.5 months to correct the issues. If the sentences air circulation and weather patterns can only exist and redistribute a planet's heat if that planet has an atmosphere. Thus, an exoplanet's exometeorology depends on whether it has an atmosphere at all. cannot be cited it is an unresolved issue and the nomination remains stuck. Bruxton (talk) 14:22, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
@Bruxton: I am confused, how does Wikipedia:You don't need to cite that the sky is blue not apply here? It would seem that the existence of an atmosphere is a self-evident requirement for air circulation, and "weather" is defined as "the state of the atmosphere". Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:16, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
Got it. Thanks for the clarification! Will continue searching for citations or remove the statements if necessary. Varmint256 (talk) 00:59, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
So we can’t say an atmospheric function on earth applies to other planets. That sentence might need to be removed then. At some point if a source can’t be found and the sentence isn’t removed this will fail. 75.99.8.58 (talk) 23:23, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Apologies for the delay (again), I'll try to verify the statement by tonight. If I cannot, I understand that I have had an extended amount of time and the nomination might need to be failed. Thank you all for allowing the extra time.Varmint256 (talk) 23:28, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
@Bruxton:@BorgQueen: Alright, I attempted to fix the last citation needed tag in the article by citing a NASA article that states planets need a significant atmosphere to support weather and its causes. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else I can add to support the statement - I kind of side with Maury's comment. However, if it is not enough, I can try to find more evidence. Again, thank you all for the extended nomination period - I hope this makes it worth it! Varmint256 (talk) 00:34, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
