Solar activity
- ... that solar activity and related events have been regularly recorded since the time of the Babylonians in the 8th century BCE?
- Reviewed: Peruvian thick-knee
- Comment: Also a new article, as it was a disambiguation page prior to 25 August 2014.
5x expanded by WikiProject Today's articles for improvement (talk). Nominated by Evad37 (talk) at 10:03, 30 August 2014 (UTC).
- Comment Because we reused so much content from other articles, does this still qualify for a DYK by meeting the 1500 word "new content" criteria? --NickPenguin(contribs) 12:39, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
- Well, the Observation history section is all new material, and I think the lead might be too. The total from those two sections [1] is currently 9197 characters (1481 words) readable prose size.
So that's close, and I plan to expand and maybe rewrite the lead tomorrow, so if reviewers could hold off till then, we should be alright. - Evad37 [talk] 13:28, 30 August 2014 (UTC)— Actually, per WP:DYK, the length required is 1,500 characters, not words. - Evad37 [talk] 15:58, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Request to add bracket to end ... that solar activity and related events have been regularly recorded since the time of the Babylonians in the 8th century BCE? (TAFI article)
- Comment: I like the WikiProject TAFI mention. Also, I've added an image to this DYK nomination. NorthAmerica1000 19:10, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
- Request was made at WP:DYK.--Coin945 (talk) 02:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- Direct link to DYK talk regarding TAFI link in the hook: here. NorthAmerica1000 20:13, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- Adding an image requires a (pictured) type comment in the hook – maybe " solar activity (flare pictured) " would work? Also, File:Magnificent CME Erupts on the Sun - August 31.jpg would probably look better at 100x100px - Evad37 [talk] 00:37, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- Request was made at WP:DYK.--Coin945 (talk) 02:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
ALT1 ... that the brightness of the Sun varies with the level of solar activity?
