Holy cube. What a dope opportunity for DYK to have to showcase this article. Was just recently improved to GA status, so it clears new enough criteria. That GA status also presumably allows for the article (and hook) to clear long (or for hook, short) enough, well-sourced, and presentable criteria. Can confirm after doing a quick double-checking of that on my end. QPQ does not apply here. ALT0 is good to go, but given the scope of the article and the plentiful amount of great images on it, I would definitely support any ALT hooks being developed here. As a result, this is a potential image+hook candidate for the DYK section too. For sure good job on this. Soulbust (talk) 12:44, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Soulbust. Perhaps there are more alternative hooks:
- "... that there are 11 ways to unfold a cube?"
- "... that cubes have a hexagonal cross-section, used as the floor in Dutch cube houses?"
- "... that cubes appear in the shapes of both crystals and microorganisms?"
- This is from David Eppstein's. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 12:53, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Those are all very interesting (honestly like ALT1 or ALT3 about the unfolding or shape, respectively), but unless my ctrl+f missed it, they aren't mentioned in the article, which they would need to be for DYK purposes. All good either way. If they can't be added into the article for whatever reason, no worries, wouldn't want that to hold up the promoter from accepting this and running with ALT0, which is definitely interesting itself.
