==Instructions==
Using a DYK suggestion string (see below examples), list new suggestions in the [[Template_talk:Did_you_know#Candidate_entries|candidate entries]] section below under the '''date the article was created or the expansion began''' (<u>'''not'''</u> the date you submit it here), with the newest dates at the top. Any user may nominate a DYK suggestion; self-nominations are permitted and encouraged. Thanks for participating and please remember to check back for comments on your nomination.

===DYK criteria===
<center>''Official criteria:'' [[Wikipedia:Did you know#DYK rules|DYK rules]] and [[Wikipedia:Did you know/Additional rules|additional guidelines]] </center>
<center>''Unofficial Guide:'' [[Wikipedia:Did you know/Learning DYK|Learning DYK]]</center>

===How to list a new nomination===
{{DYKsugstrings}}

An example of how to use the template is given below. Full details are at {{tl|NewDYKnom}}:
<pre>{{subst:NewDYKnom
 | article       = Example`
 | status        = new<!--(or) expanded-->
 | hook          = ... that this [[article]] is an '''[[example]]''' ''(pictured)''?
 | author        = User
 | nominator     =
 | image         = Example.png
 | rollover      = An example image
 | comment       =
}}</pre>

* '''Note''' that you should only use one of the above templates for the '''original hook'''. If you want to suggest a second, alternative hook for the same article submission, just type it in manually. The above templates output useful code for each submission and if you employ them for alternative hooks, you will mess up the page formatting.
* When saving your suggestion, please add the name of the suggested article to your edit summary.
*Please check back for comments on your nomination. Responding to reasonable objections will help ensure that your article is listed.
*If you nominate someone else's article, you can use {{tls|DYKNom}} to notify them. Usage: <nowiki>{{subst:DYKNom|</nowiki>''Article name''|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}}} Thanks, <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>

===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, or may suggest new hooks.

If you want to confirm that an article is ready to be placed on a later update, or note that there is an issue with the article or hook, you may use the following symbols (optional) to point the issues out:
{| class="wikitable" width=100% 
! width=4% | Symbol !! width=10% | Code !! width=5% | DYK Ready? !! width=61% | Description

|}

Please consider using <nowiki>{{subst:DYKproblem|Article|header=yes|sig=yes}}</nowiki> on the nominator's talk page, in case they do not notice if there is an issue.

=== Backlogged? ===
This page often seems to be backlogged. If the DYK template has not been updated for substantially more than 6 hours, it may be useful to attract the attention of one of the administrators who regularly updates the template. See the page [[Wikipedia:Did you know/Admins]] for a list of administrators who have volunteered to help with this project.

===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 [[Template:Did you know/Queue|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 [[WT:DYK|discussion page]], but as a general rule deleted hooks will only be restored in exceptional circumstances.

:*In the article, I changed "paid the ultimate price" to "were summarily executed" - after all, we are not writing [[hagiography]] (noble though the Ulmas were).

:::Personally, I see nothing wrong with the phrase "paying the ultimate prize" for saving other people in wartime, especially that the Polish Catholic Church already initiated the steps toward the possible beatification of the couple a few years ago, in recognition of their [[martyrdom]]. The phrase in the hook (above) was the phrase used in the article originally that’s why I would like concerned editors to please take a look at both, including the recent changes made by Biruitorul and give us some feedback here about what you think is most proper. --[[User:Poeticbent|<font face="Papyrus" color="darkblue"><b>Poeticbent</b></font>]] [[User_talk:Poeticbent|<small><font style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#FF88AF;border:1px solid #DF2929;padding:0.0em 0.2em;">talk</font></small>]] 11:52, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

</div>
:[[File:Pictogram voting keep.svg|18px]] I will say this. The character check passes and I will accept the offline sources in good faith BUT...the website for the Club mentions nothing about the mausoleum origins, so I'm going on the offline sources. Also, the use of the word "hip" is, in my opinion, slightly POV. Not sure about you, but I don't particularly think eating where a dead guy was buried, no matter how long ago that was, qualifies in my book as "hip". But, if you go by hip's literal meaning of "in the now", then yes, the website says "The club evokes the old school supper club feel of the 20's and 30's but with an '''up to date vibe'''." and, as a result, is NPOV.

::I just put up links to several recent articles about the "hipness" of the supper club, including an online source that describes the club as located in the Sassoon Mausoleum.

:*Contrary to an increasingly popular assumption, DYK hooks are not riddles, limericks or Easter eggs.

A proper way of phrasing this would be something along the lines of "that the children's book '''''[[Fancy Nancy]]''''' defines "posh" as "another word for fancy"?"

Since I'm not going to track down 100-year-old newspapers in the next day or so, the main source I would go to if I wanted something more solid is [[Walt Crowley]]'s history of the Rainier Club. He was quite a respected historian, and I'm sure I can find the book, but the Rainier Club published it, so would you just end up rejecting that source on the same basis of not being independent?
:** Another alternative: I suspect that the passage in that fundraising letter (it's not really a brochure) on the club's historical significance is verbatim from the materials on the club's historical significance submitted to the U.S. government in the application for money to help with the repairs. Would it make any difference to you if I can find this more official document? 
:** Meanwhile, I'll look for some other source or try to come up with a different hook. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] | [[User talk:Jmabel|Talk]] 18:27, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
:***[http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2007/06/18/focus3.html] alludes to Pinchot's visit, but it is quoting a club spokesperson. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] | [[User talk:Jmabel|Talk]] 18:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

How about an alternate hook, cited from ''The Dry Years'', which is the definitive history of Prohibitionism in Washington State:
{{*mp}}... that during the [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]] era, the '''[[Rainier Club]]''' was one of several elite institutions in [[Seattle]] which blithely continued serving alcohol?
<br />[[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] | [[User talk:Jmabel|Talk]] 18:43, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
:The one sentence on the Club in the book says ''If his correspondents were irritated with the inefficiency of federal agents - their blindness, for example to the stores of liquor in Seattle's Rainier Club, Elk's Club, or Arctic Club - the governor made it clear that these were matters over which he had no control.'' It's a bit of a stretch to go from the source's passing mention to "blithely continued serving alcohol". [[User:Shubinator|Shubinator]] ([[User talk:Shubinator|talk]]) 03:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

:::Some ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' articles mention the Rainier Club getting raided during the Prohibition: "Liquor raids to continue" on May 16, 1916 and "To invade rich homes without a legal writ" on January 22, 1916. [[User:Shubinator|Shubinator]] ([[User talk:Shubinator|talk]]) 18:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
:::* Yeah, but 1916 was anomalous. That's when Prohibition began in Washington State (4 years before national Prohibition). Mayor Hiram Gill (who had previously been anti-Prohibition) decided (my words here, not his) "OK, if the people want Prohibition, we'll give it to them and hard," and proceeded to raid the Rainier Club, rich people's homes, major hotels, etc. That lasted a few months. Then the usual corruption set in and lasted for the duration. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] | [[User talk:Jmabel|Talk]] 04:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

::*The abstract and conclusion of the paper cited to support the first claim (Middle Stone Age bone tools from the Howiesons Poort layers, Sibudu Cave, South Africa; Lucinda Backwell et al Journal of Archaeological Science 35 (2008) 1566-1580)says with usual caution "If the bone point from the HP layers at Sibudu Cave is substantiated by future discoveries, this will push back the origin of bow and bone arrow technology by at least 20,000 years," 
::*The other supporting reference in  (Lyn Wadley, Implications for complex cognition from the hafting of tools with compound adhesives in the Middle Stone Age, South Africa PNAS 2009) in the text introduction says "The use of simple (1-component) adhesives is ancient; for example, birch-bark tar was found on 2 flakes from 200,000 years (200 ka) ago at a site in Italy (3). At 40 ka, bitumen was found on stone tools in Syria (4), and a similarly aged site in Kenya yielded tools with red ochre stains that imply the use of multicomponent glue (5). Traces of even earlier (70 ka) compound adhesives occur, together with microfractures consistent with hafting, on Middle Stone Age (MSA) stone tools from Sibudu Cave, South Africa". And in the conclusion: "Hunters’ lives depend on reliable weapons. This dependency would have been a powerful incentive in the past to create trustworthy adhesives for composite weapons. Our experiments intimate that by at least 70 ka (and earlier evidence may eventually be found at sites other than Sibudu) people were competent chemists, alchemists, and pyrotechnologists. We propose that these artisans were exceedingly skilled; they under understoo the properties of their adhesive ingredients, and they were able to manipulate them knowingly."

::*Look at the calibre of people writing to it.  [[Gene Golub]] was right at the the top of the tree when it comes to methods for matrix computations.

:::*I do not think that this is a reliable source. This looks just like the moderated academic listservs I belong to.

::::* Have you read the postings in question?  They are hardly "speculation".  Rather, they are report-backs of interviews that had been conducted.  According to [[WP:RS]] we accept statements by acknowledged authorities in their fields, when speaking on matters to do with the fields in question.

:::::I have problems with this article as is (inline xlink, text too similar to source in some areas, and including some of its unencylopedic language like "still in good health") but sourcing isn't one of them. We have a [[:template:cite mailing list|template for citing mailing lists as sources]]; clearly some of them are considered to meet RS. Peer review (assuming we don't consider mailing-list moderation to be sufficiently equivalent; in which case we'd have to exclude a lot of news outlets as sources as well since they have about the same level of review) whether academic or otherwise, isn't really that much better at guaranteeing the accuracy of the information in question then, well, we are.<p>The undeniable fact here is that we have a citation to a post on a moderated mailing list serving academics in a subfield of mathematics, a post attributing something to an expert (admittedly deceased) in that field notable enough for his own article here, a post that is three months old and has not been refuted or challenged.

[[File:Symbol question.svg|18px]] Without getting into politics, I'd suggest a rephrase so we don't assert as a fact that LGBT American do not etc. etc. I think some might disagree with that statement.--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] ([[User talk:Wehwalt|talk]]) 23:12, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
:* I'm certainly open to a rephrase. I wrote and rewrote the hook trying to maintain the relevant content while adhering to the character limit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. [[User:Otto4711|Otto4711]] ([[User talk:Otto4711|talk]]) 16:20, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
::'''ALT1''' ... that the '''[[Annual Reminder]]''' was intended to let Americans know that [[LGBT]] Americans did not enjoy the rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" guaranteed in the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]]? [[User:Geraldk|Geraldk]] ([[User talk:Geraldk|talk]]) 19:15, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
:::* Changed "were" to "was". Including ellipses and question mark hook is 204 characters, which I'm fine with since I don't think the ellipses and question mark should be included in the character count. [[User:Otto4711|Otto4711]] ([[User talk:Otto4711|talk]]) 19:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

::No, same problem. '''ALT2''' ... that the '''[[Annual Reminder|Annual Reminders]]''' were held to persuade Americans that [[LGBT]] Americans did not enjoy the rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" guaranteed in the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]]?--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] ([[User talk:Wehwalt|talk]]) 19:46, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

::::Alt 2's fine, but it's a protest, so it isn't really issued. I made a slight change in wording to reflect that. [[User:Geraldk|Geraldk]] ([[User talk:Geraldk|talk]]) 23:09, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
::'''ALT 3''' ... that the '''[[Annual Reminder]]s''' on July 4 in [[Philadelphia]] protested that [[LGBT]] Americans didn't enjoy the rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" guaranteed in the [[United States Declaration of Independence|Declaration of Independence]]? -- it's not perfect, but it adds in the July 4 connection explicitly and the location, though the wording is less than perfect even if it is exactly 200 characters.

:::::Alt3 is a little odd. It reads like the Reminders themselves were entities that engaged in protesting. [[User:Otto4711|Otto4711]] ([[User talk:Otto4711|talk]]) 04:49, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
