 * Comment: I am not a fan of using emotives such as just. People can draw their own conclusions, and there have been plenty of more youthful rulers. - Sitush (talk) 11:14, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: I see that there is a DYKN for the subject of this nomination's son. Since both of these have passed review, perhaps both of these DYKs can run on the same day, perhaps on a date significant to Jordan.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:54, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Ilovetopaint, I don't believe you're using the DYK checklist template correctly: there is no visible tick, and the "Pass" template is not valid here at DYK. Basically, it doesn't count as passed without one of the valid ticks (see the area above the edit window for them), and the DYK checklist template generates its own. Please check out Template:DYK checklist/doc, which will tell you what values are allowed in which fields, especially the "status" field. Also, can you please sign your posts with the four tildes? Your signature at the end of DYK posts should always be dated, and yours tend not to be. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:52, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking here but if it's to change the tick then I've done so.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 08:52, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Putting a tick into the comments field doesn't mean anything to the bot, which parses the DYK checklist template based on how it actually works. The problem here is the status field, which the DYK checklist documentation explains that you should Put "y" if no problems, "?" for minor problems, "maybe" if nomination needs work, "no" if completely ineligible, "again" to request another reviewer take a look. The tick symbol you placed in the status field was not correct; I've changed it to "y", which is what the bot looks for. (As you can see, the "y" status automatically creates a tick or other icon as appropriate; there are now two, with the one from status followed by the one you added into the comment field.)
