A fact from Intrepid Museum appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 October 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the FBI set up temporary offices in a museum on an aircraft carrier (pictured) while investigating the 9/11 terrorist attacks?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2023/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

Reference to Marine Corps recruiting station

I can say for a fact that the reference to the Intrepid being home to a Marine Corps recruiting station is no longer valid as the station has moved to military island in Times Square between 9th and Broadway Aves, so I took it out. I'm an active-duty corporal working for the Marine Corps Public Affairs Office in New York, if you really even need credentials for this kind of obvious thing. - Id versus

Got it. Thanks or catching that for us. - BillCJ 19:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name of museum

The museum's Web site calls it "the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum," not "(the) Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum." (I suppose it was called the latter at one time.) --anon. 162.83.145.75 (talk) 18:06, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Right. The literature that they give you when you go in has no hyphenation either. - Gus ^{(T, C)} 2011-07-30 02:07Z — Preceding undated comment added 02:07, 30 July 2011

Gus, please take no offense at my insisting on appending our institutional format for Zulu time: The version the {{undated}} template provides will prevent some WP-inspecting software from treating your contrib as if the information were just missing!

Former Exhibits/Ships

If I'm not mistaken, at one time other ships were part of the museum, including a light ship, destroyer and a retired Coast Guard cutter. Perhaps they can be mentioned somewhere? Daysleeper47 (talk) 15:44, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the same vein: I had the impression there was an SR-71 there rather than A-12. Is that a change? Or might the guides (justifiably?) fuzz up the distinction between two birds of a feather?

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:36, 15 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

The article was expanded fivefolds, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio obvious. The hooks are sourced and interesting. The image here is free and clear, and no issue with images in the article as well. QPQ done. AGF offline sources. Corachow (talk) 18:12, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pulled from Q5 due to close paraphrasing concerns. Please see the nomination's talk page. Schwede 66 08:03, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies; it wasn't close paraphrasing after all. Please see the talk page. I recommend that this be promoted as the lead hook. And to the admin who eventually promotes this to queue, please note that I've checked this as far as the Earwig step. Schwede 66 09:14, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move protection?

@Schwede66, I noticed you temporarily move-protected the page last week, citing WP:MPNOREDIRECT. The move protection expired after three days, but the article has not run on the main page yet.

To throw something else into the mix, it seems like the museum has just rebranded itself as the "Intrepid Museum". Should the temporary move protection be reinstated? The only source for the rename is a PR Newswire press release as of now, but I think people will still try to move the page to its new name while the article is on the Main Page. – Epicgenius (talk) 19:07, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Epicgenius, I move-protected the article for such a short period of time as during that time, I would have appeared on the main page according to the DYK queue at that time. But then it got pulled (well, I pulled it) and forgot about the move protection, which I should have removed at that point. It's since been promoted back to the queue and is currently scheduled to run on 11 October (UTC). That's five days away and there's no trouble to move this article around before it hits the main page. I'll write myself a reminder to reinstate move protection prior to it hitting the main page. Schwede 66 23:20, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response, that makes sense. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
