Created by Đại Việt quốc (talk). Self-nominated at 09:45, 16 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Dầu Tiếng Reservoir; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Just a comment. Per WP:WATERMARK, the image's watermark should be removed (definitely before it hits the main page). Fortunately, it seems to be a simple crop job. Bremps... 01:43, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

  • Full review needed now that image watermark has been removed. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:08, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
     Comment: @BlueMoonset: From what I’m seeing, it tends to be the picture that causes the delay in review. I guess somehow the reviewers are having higher expectations for articles with a picture. If that’s the case, I want to let you know that I’m fine with the article being promoted without the picture. Thanks! Đại Việt quốc (talk) 11:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Long enough, new enough. Hook short enough, interested, and cited - though it took a while to find it, and I'm not even sure what you need pdf0i007 for in that hook. (There's much noise at WT:DYK regarding the use of 'first' hooks - I think the World Bank would know where its money went, so it's fine by me.) No maintenance templates found, no copyright problems found, no neutrality issues found. QPQ unnecessary and image Creative Commons. The reflist rides at the sides due to the images/infobox - any chance you could do something to stop this?--Launchballer 21:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Nominator's been blocked as a sockpuppet. The only thing wrong with this article is the riding, which isn't really a DYK problem, so I've fixed it myself; I could in theory approve this as is, but perhaps another reviewer could opine.--Launchballer 21:54, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Launchballer, the major problem with the article is that it was created by a previously blocked editor, socking in contravention of Wikipedia norms and procedures. Why are we rewarding such behavior? As the nominator has been blocked as a sock, and the article is almost without exception that sock's work, shouldn't this DYK nomination just be closed? If it must run, there's a tense problem in the proposed hook, but why should we be encouraging socking here and featuring a sock's work on the main page?

You're right, I'm probably too much of a soft touch when it comes to this kind of thing because, technically, I'm a sock who went through the {{2nd chance}} procedure (see User talk:Launchballer/archive/2009#Unblock_request). Arguably, this whole article should be deleted per WP:G5 (same as Xuân Hương Lake, which is currently in prep 4). I'll leave this open for an admin to do the honours.--Launchballer 09:22, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
