There ya go.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:29, 17 August 2012 (UTC) I officially resign from nominating DYKs myself, thanks. Its undoubtedly ridiculous that an article which could clearly appear on the main page on the evening of creation takes a whole month and even then for their still to be hostility and pettiness towards it. The time it takes to reach the front page has become absurdly long and I've essentially forgotten I created the articles by the time they hit the front page. The organization of DYKs in my opinion has diminished with QPQ and we'd be better off showcasing the best articles for longer within a 3 day period of creation.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:15, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * QPQ not satisfied: it is not a listed nomination. Please review one that's actually submitted on the nominations page. ("Seems nice" isn't an adequate review, either.) BlueMoonset (talk) 14:56, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ nomination was subsequently listed, so requirement is now satisfied. Restoring original tick per review by Maculosae tegmine lyncis. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:27, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
