- @CeeGee: @Kosack: there is an issue with the nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Konya Tropical Butterfly Garden, which is part of the DYK set due to go live at midnight today. The hook says it "has the largest butterfly flight area in Europe", but it isn't actually in Europe. It's in the Asian part of Turkey . Are you able to come up with an alternative hook that we could use? If not, I will replace it and reopen the nomination page. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 11:37, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- It is said "in Europe" because Turkey, as a country, is considered part of Europe. You can check it in all politicial, economic, sportive etc. issues. It doesn't matter that the site in question is located geographically in the Asian part of the country. CeeGee 15:30, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- It matters to this reader. There is a huge difference between "in Europe" and "in a European country". Or can things in French Guiana be considered for "largest/fastest/smallest/most expensive/etc in Europe"? This hook is blatantly false and should not appear. --Khajidha (talk) 16:41, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- What a logic! CeeGee 10:22, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- I agree we should pull it. I am not up on the technical aspects of the DYK system, so I can't do it, but this is clearly a dispute, and until the dispute is resolved, we should either pull it or move it to a later posting, to get the wording correct. I too am uncomfortable describing a thing which is physically located on the Asian continent as being "the largest in Europe", and as such, I think we need a better hook. Unless we can fix it in the next few hours, we should move this back to the prep area, take another good hook to replace this one, and get this one right. --Jayron32 17:36, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- What Jayron said: both that it should be switched out and discussed some more without the time constraint, and that I'm not up on the intricacies of the DYK system. Pinging @Amakuru:, who has (from a review of the queue history) pulled DYK hooks recently and appears to know what they are doing. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:12, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Oh good grief. Didn't notice they were the ones who started this thread. I think there's enough agreement that Amakuru could make this change without being "involved". I would certainly do it myself if I knew how. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:14, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- I've just gone ahead and removed the hook. Anyone who sees this and understands DYK, please reopen the discussion, and replace with a new hook. In case no one who understands DYK sees this, I'll also ping WT:DYK. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:57, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Floq. Apologies, I was out and about tonight so didn't see this message until just now. — Amakuru (talk) 22:23, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
