Talk:Marquinhos/GA1
Royroydeb, when you put nominations on hold on the article's talk page, the only change you should make to the GA nominee template is to change the status parameter from "onreview" to "onhold". The changes you actually did with this nomination—removing the original timestamp and nominator and adding yourself and a new time—broke the entry on the GAN page, so it showed up as an error in the daily GAN report.

I have fixed the GA nominee template so it contains the original nomination time and nominator, so when the next report is run in about 24 hours, the error will have cleared. You may want to review the GA instructions for how to put an article on hold so you'll do it correctly next time. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:20, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

DYK
I was wondering if I can choose the date on which a DYK appears on the main page. Can I?--MaranoFan (talk) 11:40, 7 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Salam

First of all the nomination should follow the rules and regulations of a normal DYK. In the comment section while creating the DYK template you have to mention the date along with appropriate reason. Nomination should be done six to seven days earlier. Also the entry of the nomination should be on the day on which the article was created/expanded and not on the special occasion area.

 * Well wishes from me too Is this eligible for the main page ryt now? I wanted it to appear on May 13 bbut I probably nominated it too fast lol.--MaranoFan (talk) 12:01, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think that you should have mentioned it while nominating. Also any arbitary request will be put down, unless it is a serious one (like the DYK article person's birthday). I would still suggest you to contact Wikipedia talk:Did you know. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 17:56, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
