Created by Launchballer (talk). Self-nominated at 13:04, 6 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Beachin; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Here's an interesting quirk; when I click "Earwig's Copyvio Detector", it displays 0%, but when I go into page --> analysis --> copyright vio detector, it says 47.4%. I call false positive; Earwig is unable to tell the difference between copyvio and attributed opinion, which this all is. All the quotes are below forty words and thus adhere to MOS:BQ. (But I am with you with 'less ideal RSs' - Fluxblog is not a source I'd use for anything other than attributed opinion.)--Launchballer 22:40, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
with preference for ALT0. Launchballer, I agree that the Earwig tool is a bit goofy sometimes and I usually get the beachball of death when I use it. If you think that direct quotes of the length you use are preferable over paraphrasing, I am willing to wave my concerns. With the similar issue of public domain material not counting towards character count, I want to say that this is a qualified approval which I think might see some challenge by someone with more DYK experience. Thanks you for your noms and contributions! (Also, per your talk, should I stop pinging you with the U template on articles I can presume you have on your watchlist?) ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:04, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
