Deep frying

 * Unfortunatelly, on picture is definitely not (typical) Czech bramboráček. Czech bramborák is flat round. The word "bramboráček" means "small bramborák", i.e. the round is smaller than usual. I have not idea what is on this picture, but I am sure it is not bramboráček. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmarty (talk • contribs) 11:35, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * ... that events dedicated to recreationally deep frying foods and even non-edible items are held frequently in the Southern United States?


 * Comment: Improved to GA substantially by the WP:TAFI project. I have fewer than five DYKs, so I'm exempt from QPQ.

 * Symbol question.svg The article definitely meets DYK criteria (although the nomination is barely new enough), but where is the citation for the hook? sst✈ 14:38, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Regarding your adding the TAFI advertisement to the hook, I don't understand what the reader would get out of this, or why it should be part of the hook.  It just confuses the hook. Your edit summary said Like all of our previous TAFI DYKs, this hook needs to have the small TAFI link afterwards. Phew it's been a while since we did one of these. Glad we're back, but as far as I'm concerned, that's just an ad for another WP endeavor.  How does this get to be part of the hook? — Maile  (talk) 15:02, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comment. Per a discussion taht happened so long ago that I'm not entirely sure where it is (although I can vouch for its existence), TAFI had a discussion with the Main Page people and we agreed to have a small TAFI link after each TAFI DYK as a compromise for not having a TAFI permanent feature section on the main page, and it's been like that ever since. It's a matter of tradition if anything else. You'd need to start a discussion to remove the TAFI link.--Coin945 (talk) 16:50, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, I think you need to provide a permalink to the discussion that allows an approved DYK hook to be altered so it doesn't make sense to the average reader. Or otherwise show where it is written in the DYK guidelines. Anybody can say they remember anything, but links are needed. I don't know what "tradition" you are talking about, because I've been working DYK for years and never seen this. Unless this is made known to DYK participants, the TAFI is going to be edited out, anyway, by promoters and/or admins who move it to queue, because they have no idea what it is. So far, you don't even seem to have consensus to do this at your own project: Wikipedia talk:Today's articles for improvement. This needs discussion at DYK, not some other page where DYK contributors never see it.   do you know anything about this? — Maile  (talk) 17:16, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Pinging per the above. North America1000 17:22, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Ehh.. I can't be bothered to argue over this. Or search for the discussion I'm referring to. Just remove the "TAFI" link.--Coin945 (talk)
 * Not finding a source in the article to qualify content of the hook, so providing an alt below. North America1000 16:40, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that deep-fried foods (example pictured) have been described as "a staple of almost all street cuisines on all continents?"
 * Symbol confirmed.svg (Barely) new enough when nominated. Long enough at 14696 characters. The article is neutral and adequately sourced. Copyvios turned up a few results where other websites copy Wikipedia, sometimes without attribution, but other than that, the article does not suffer from any copyright issues. The hook is neutral, short enough, interesting enough, and verified to the source provided. QPQ not required. Good to go. sst✈discuss 13:38, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * If you want to use the image, it is fine, but remember to add (pictured) to the hook. sst✈discuss 13:40, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Per the above approval, which appears to be for ALT1, I struck the initial hook and added (example pictured) to ALT1. North America1000 14:28, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
