Weywot

(
)

Improved to Good Article status by Nrco0e (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 22:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Weywot; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - I'm actually failing to find the exact verification, but that doesn't really matter per below. Also @Nrco0e, you should be using the pagination of the actual source, not the PDF.
  • Interesting: No - I think most readers wouldn't understand this hook; I do understand it, but don't find it very interesting. Maybe if I think about it for a second, but it doesn't, y'know, hook me—and that's as someone who'd actually heard of Weywot before. Ideas of things that would be more interesting include: that it was named by the people indigenous to the land where it was discovered (a sentence or two might need to be copied/paraphrased from 50000 Quaoar to explain that full context); that they initially couldn't figure out which direction it was going; some play on the god Weywot being the son of the god Quaoar and the moon Weywot revolving around the asteroid Quaoar.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Need to find a new hook, but otherwise all good. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 03:36, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

@Tamzin: Here's some options
  • ALT1: "... that the moon Weywot was named by the indigenous Tongva people of California, where its dwarf planet, 50000 Quaoar, was discovered?"
  • ALT2: "... that scientists initially could not find out which direction Weywot was orbiting?"
I'm not exactly sure how to make a play off of them being gods. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:29, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
@Onegreatjoke: ALT1 works (I've taken the liberty of a slight copy-edit), but is not currently fully verified in body. ALT2 passes, so up to you whether you want to add the necessary details to the articles for both to pass, or pass now as just ALT2. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
@Tamzin: Let's just go with passing this solely with alt2 at this point. Onegreatjoke (talk) 03:15, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
on ALT2. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 03:16, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
