Solar activity

X1.2 class solar flare on May 14, 2013

  • ... 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)

Alt1 ... 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 ALT1 with the WikiProject TAFI mention. Also, I've added an image to this DYK nomination. NorthAmerica1000 19:10, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
